Crunchyroll’s latest absurd mega-collection anime box set is bringing together all of Code Geass into one place… and then throwing in an entire chess set, among other things, for good measure.
Goro Taniguchi legendary 2006 sci-fi mecha series—known for its designs by iconic manga art group CLAMP, its revolutionary action, and of course one of the most ear-wormy anime openings ever in “Colors by Flow”—follows Lelouch Lamperougea young exiled prince in an alternate timeline where the Holy Britannian Empire dominates much of the world. Yearning for vengeance against his father and gifted with the mysterious power to dominate anyone’s will with his own, Lelouch becomes the face of Japan’s rebellion against Imperial control as Zero, a masked vigilante.
Available to pre-order now in the U.S. and Canada exclusively through the Crunchyroll storethe Code Geass Collector’s Edition brings together all 50 episodes of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Revolutionthe five-episode OVA Akito the Exiledas well as the four-part alternate movie adaptations of the series—Initiation, Transgressionand Glorificationas well as Lelouch of the Re;surrection—on Blu-ray in one place.
If that wasn’t enough, somehow, the giant box also comes a complete chess set and board—a common sight throughout the show, and one of Lelouch’s particular pastimes of choice—as well as a Geass Symbol necklace, a USB memory stick in the shape of the Lancelot Key, and if you’re not actually subscribed to Crunchyroll and just want to stream Code Geass (among other things), a six-month membership to the platform.
