Code Geass Watch Order: Where to Start

Two perfect seasons — and a movie timeline that confuses everyone. Here's the spoiler-free order — what to watch, what to skip, and where each piece fits.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (S1)

25 episodes of escalating brilliance.

R2 (S2)

The direct continuation, with one of anime's most famous endings.

Stop here — or take the movie route

The three compilation films retell the series with changes and are the canon lead-in to the sequel.

Lelouch of the Re;surrection

The sequel film — it follows the movie-trilogy timeline, not the TV ending.

💡 The TV series + R2 is the definitive experience. Only continue if you're okay reopening a perfect ending.
