- Adult Swim, the Cartoon Network’s attempt to bring in older viewers, has given us some great Japanese imports over the past few years: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Samurai Champloo, and Cowboy Bebop. Currently, Adult Swim’s anime offerings have taken a supernatural turn with Bleach and Death Note.
  
  Code Geass will continue Cartoon Network’s tradition of bringing the best of Japan to U.S. viewers. This new show was a hit when it was first broadcast across the Pacific in 2006. The 25 episodes of Geass will begin their stateside run on April 26th.
  
  Code Geass deals with Japan in the not too distant future. A fictional empire, Holy Empire of Britannia, conquers Japan with a robotic army and forces all surviving citizens to live in a ghetto while the conquerers live in luxury. The plot follows Japanese rebels fighting to free the country from their oppressors.
  
  The young son of the emperor of Britannia vows revenge after his cold hearted father does not pursue the terrorists who killed his mother.
  
  The Geass of the title refers to a hypnotic power than the disenfranchised boy, named Lelouch, learns. Other characters, on both sides of the struggle for independance, have other abilities, including mind control and telepathy.
  
  Another plus is that the series has a second season which is currently being broadcast in Japan. This means that, unlike Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop, Code Geass will, most likely, not disappear after one season. That’s good news, because this show seems like it could be quite a hit.
