Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion



Once! In! A! Life! Time! There! Comes! A! Mo~tion! Picture! <No no, go away....> *Ahem* Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is a vary unique anime in that unlike most anime, where they are adapted from one manga, CG:LotR has seemingly been adapted from two linked manga; Lelouch of the Rebellion and Suzaku of the Counterattack are the ones, even though SotC is set in an alternate timeline it still fits here and there in the story. The "hero" of the story Lelouch has a weird name just by the way it is spelled in Japanese "ルルーシュ". If you take the first half of the name "ルル" it read as "Lulu"witch is a female given name and then the second part "シュ" or "Shu" is a demonstrative pronoun used to indicate a thing near the speaker, but not necessarily in the immediate vicinity. So his name could be read as "A woman nearby". Anyho. The anime GC:LotR has two seasons and reportedly a (?)third(?).  The anime has a lot of intrigue and mystery in it, it also has a manga spinoff Knightmare of Nunnally with Master Asia in it, so yea that exists. There are, of corse, others Tales of an Alternate Shogunate, Ranya of Darkness, and Oz the ReflectionGive them all a try.
