The original Code Geass anime series, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, first aired from 2006 to 2007, while the second season Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 began airing in 2008. The franchise also includes an OVA, a series of films, spin-off series Code Geass: Akito the Exiled, and various light novels, manga, and video games.
Crunchyroll describes the main series as:
The year 2017 is on the Imperial calendar and much of the world is under the control of the Holy Britannian Empire. Lelouch Lamperouge, an exiled British prince, meets a strange girl named CC, who grants him great and terrible power. Geass. With this powerful ability, Lelouch can make anyone do what he wants. But the power of Geass: is it a blessing… or a curse?
