Product Description
August 10th of the year 2010 the Holy Empire of Britannia began a campaign of conquest, its sight set on Japan. Operations were completed in one month, thanks to Britannia s deployment of new mobile humanoid armor vehicles dubbed Knightmare Frames. Japan s right and identity were stripped away, the once proud Nation, now known as Aera 11. Its citizens, Elevens, are forced to scratch out a living while the Britannians aristocrats live comfortably within their settlements. Pockets of resistance appear throughout Area 11, working towards independence for Japan.
ouch, an exiled Imperial Prince of Britannia posing as a student, finds himself in the heart of the ongoing conflict for the island nation. Trough a chance meeting with a mysterious girl named C.C., Lelouch gains his Geass, the power of the king. Now endowed with absolute dominance over any person, Lelouch may now finally realize his goal of bringing down Britannia from within!

A little bit about the product: It has both Japanese Audio and English Dubbed for those who prefer the dub. The extra features such as the picture dramas are available both in dub and sub, audio commentary is also very good and offers some fun trivia knowledge about the people involved in making the series. For those who have lived for subs, the DVD box set is great. Only thing probably missing is maybe a sheet that tells you which episodes are on which discs. (For people that have watched this series and want to skip the funny episodes it might have been good.)
Overall verdict of Box set: Amazing. It's everything you want in one place.
At the price that this is at, it's a bargain. 25 episodes and extra features (openings, endings, picture dramas, etc) would cost more if you buy the volumes separately.
The series itself: Great series, one that you can definately watch again and again. This series has some of the biggest plot twists ever and will probably leave you watching episode after episode until you finish the whole series in one go.
Overall, it is definitely an 'Anime Legend' and worth watching.

Code geass is a great anime with a gripping story that succeeds in being both serious and funny. It brings together many of the best features of other animes (Death note, Gundam, Gurren lagann, etc...)so there should be something for everyone. This set includes all 25 episodes of the first season with Japanese audio commentary(English subtitles) on many of the episodes along with a few short picture dramas(English voice cast). Considering it is almost double for 12 episodes, in the single volume sets, £[..] it is an Excellent price.

Wow!!
Such an exciting and intelligent anime. dont be put off by the girly looking characters this is a brutal & wham!! plot twist anime at its best. Lelouch is a genius. So many anime's revolve around some whiney kid who's underage yet part of some special forces unit and has to fight in a war then has emotional breakdowns every other episode... cheap reuse of the same fighting over and over again, long boring shakey cam as the protaganist winges on, or episodes of trivial filler to strech out the series.
BUT CODE GEASS IS NONE OF THESE THINGS. The characters know exactly what they want and arn't afraid to do what they can to get it. The plot is realistic, battles are won / lost or even avoided. The series relies on the characters intelligence not some rediculous superman U-turn. (Ie getting your butt kicked one minute then unexplainedly winning the day.) If there is a U-turn in the fights its usually for a very good reason. There are some great S#~~ NO WAY!! moments and you will quickly rinse through the series.
Honestly if you want some decent anime in your collection get yourself a copy. Just be prepared to get the second season as the final episode in Series 1 will leave you screaming at the TV.
