While we’re hearing hopeful things about the return of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion to the North American market, events continue back in Japan with it. After getting the individual Blu-ray releases in the last couple of years, September 25th has been set as the release date for the full season 1 box set. Priced at 31,500 yen, it looks to have all the extras as seen with the individual discs for both DVD and Blu-ray, though of course it has no subtitles or dub available for it. But with them bringing out this set, it definitely opens up more of a window for a lower priced North American release afterwards.
Plot concept: Lelouch Lamperouge, an abandoned prince of the Holy Britannian Empire, hides his true identity as a student in the colonized territory of Area 11, formerly known as Japan. After he acquires the power of “Geass” from the mysterious girl named C.C., which enables him to command anyone to obey his order, he wears the mask of Zero and begins his rebellion against his own father’s empire, so that he can take revenge for his assassinated mother. A thrilling fusion of the world of an Arthurian knighthood and the futuristic robotic warfare, this epic series has been internationally recognized with various awards including Outstanding TV Anime at Tokyo Anime Award (2007) and Best Original Series at Japan Expo held in Paris, France (2010).
