What is code geass recap movies?

Code Geass recap movies are a series of three movies that summarize the events of the original Code Geass anime series. The movies were released in Japan between 2017 and 2018.

The first two movies, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion I - Initiation and Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion II - Transgression, cover the events of the first season of the anime series. They condense the 25-episode series into two films, cutting out some details and reducing the amount of violence and sexuality.

The third movie, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion III - Glorification, covers the events of the second season. Like the first two movies, it combines the original footage with new scenes and animation.

The recap movies were created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the original Code Geass anime series. They were directed by Gorou Taniguchi, who also directed the original series, with animation by Sunrise studio.

While the movies were generally well-received by fans, some criticized them for changing certain parts of the story and removing some character development. Overall, the recap movies provide a condensed and streamlined version of the original series for fans who want to revisit the story or catch up quickly.
