Code Geass

This show has 2 seasons and it's best to watch both seasons. This is about one of the best anime I ever watched and you'll find it the same. It is about a young boy who has been abandoned by his father. He is a noble and his dad is the King of Britannia. And he wants to get revenge on what happens. After being abandoned like that, he wants to take over the world.

He wants to take over Britannia, which took over Japan. So right now, Japanese people want freedom from the hardship they are going through. So he sees this and then allies with the Japanese. It's more like he controls them with their lack of power and their huge ambition. So watch how he uses his smarts and manipulates the people under him.

He learns this new ability that lets him mind control people. But he only can do it once, so he learns how to wield it to become even more powerful. Season 1 can be seen as how he learns how to control his powers through unexpected terms. Then when he's growing, many things starts to happen and he needs to figure out a way to take over the world. But he finds out that there are deeper and darker secrets that no one knew about and he is the only person to solve it.

This story revolves around Lelouch also known as Zero. He is considered the savior and fighter for the Japanese and goes against the empire. Little did they know that he was using them to look after his sister, get revenge and take over it himself. These two seasons are something you absolutely cannot miss. It's great to see how to character builds and what happens. And of course, there are machines like Gundam. Go watch it and figure out what happens, the story is just superb.
