Publisher's Synopsis
The first 12 episodes of the Japanese anime series. In an alternate near-future world, Japan has been invaded by the Holy Empire of Britannia and renamed Area 11. Lelouch, an exiled Imperial Prince of Britannia posing as a student, finds himself at the eye of the storm as the ongoing conflict for the island nation rages around him. Through a chance meeting with a mysterious girl named CC, Lelouch obtains the power of Geass, which makes people obey his every order - and transforms himself into the masked leader of the rebellion known as Zero, whose mission is to destroy Britannia once and for all.
