"Cencoroll" is a very fresh and unique story based on the Manga "Amon Game."
Both works were original creations by Atsuya Aki, who created, wrote, directed, and animated (Yes, animated) this film alone.
The only help he had were the Seiyuu, Music, and production by Aniplex. I must say this first before I begin... Thank you Aniplex!

"Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch", the highly received production by Sunrise, directed and created by Goro Taniguchi, is quite a unique venture into political anime.

Lelouch is the anti-hero in Code Geass, doing all the wrong things with good intentions. Lelouch and his gained power "Geass", reminded me of Light in "Death Note", …

"Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch - Kiseki no Birthday Picture Drama", is a picture drama that takes place after the final episode of Code Geass R2.
That may arise some questions, as it did with me.
It will. Even after the explanation they give us.
Despite that, the show is fun to watch, even though it's a Picture Drama.
If you read the synopsis it is truly …
It would be wise to have watched the whole first season of Code Geass before watching these Specials.

"Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch Picture Drama" are a great addition to the back story of some of these characters of Code Geass.
If anything, they are entertaining enough to watch.
Episode 1 is How Lelouch and Susaku met at a young age.
Episode 2 was Milly, Nina, Shirley, and Kallen talking in the Ashford Academy Onsen/bathing house. It's quite sexy.
Episode 3, Jeremiah …
"Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2", the sequel to the first "Code Geass", is a very fun series that can make you think twice, or even more times about what will happen next and what is going on.
It suffers from the same problems as the first series, but here, it's even more so.

The film "Colorful" is quite a deep film. Yet it is filled with depression, if you want a happy film (for most of the way) that makes you feel good, this is not it. Although the ending is quite inspiring.
Sometimes it's the small things in life that cause the most influence.

"Cosplay Complex: Extra Identification" is an extra that shows you what anime each cosplay costume came from.
The animation is very simple, it's done with a Picture Drama approach, they show text on the screen for what anime and character the cosplay is from, as they have the Ending credits theme loop in the background. This episode is nothing more than to quench your curiosity.
The shows they cosplayed in chronological order of the video:
You're Under Arrest
Saint Tail
Rurouni …
Cosplay Complex is an OVA series that was set up to have a sequel, but never got one. And that's okay, there wasn't very much you could do with it anyway, it already seemed like they were running out of ideas during just these 3 episodes, because all of them are about a contest, that's it.
The story of this series is about a high school Cosplay club, and they add some new members every now and then. There are some rivalries, a love interest, ecchi, and lots of cosplaying.
The …
Arve Rezzle: Kikaijikake no Yoseitachi is set in the near future of 2022, technology has advanced enough so that a perfect rendering of yourself can be projected onto a computer screen without the opposition knowing that you're not really there (for quite some time too!). That's some kind of technology!
