Code Geass

The 2017 film trilogy looks like a recap of the television series and is not, and every sequel made since follows the films rather than the series.

Where to start with Code Geass

Watch the two television seasons and stop. That is the complete story and it has an ending. The three films only matter if you intend to carry on into the sequels, because those sequels continue the films and not the series you just watched.

  1. 1
    Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion

    Twenty-five episodes from 2006. The obvious starting point and the only one, with nothing before it and no prequel to trip over.

  2. 2
    Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2

    Twenty-five more, picking up a year later. It finishes the story properly, and after it you can stop with nothing left hanging.

  3. 3
    Initiation, the first film Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion I - Initiation

    Only if you want the sequels. It is not a recap: characters who die in the series live here, and the sequels depend on that difference.

  4. 4
    Transgression, the second film Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion II - Transgression

    The middle of the retelling. There is no way to skip it and still follow how the third film reaches its altered ending.

  5. 5
    Glorification, the third film Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion III - Glorification

    This is the one that matters. Its closing act differs from the television ending, and that difference is the ground every later film stands on.

Then what? Then Lelouch of the Re;surrection, and after it Rozé of the Recapture, which is a sequel to Re;surrection rather than to anything on television. Akito the Exiled is optional at any point after season one; it runs in Europe while the main cast is elsewhere and nothing in R2 depends on it. Nunnally in Wonderland is a joke and can be ignored. Hoshi Oi no Aspar has been announced and nothing about it has been dated.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
