Odeon Haymarket in London to host Code Geass Fan Event on Tuesday 20th March. Your first chance to see the film, plus exclusive goodies!.
A couple of weeks ago we announced our plans to bring Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion I – Initiation to selected cinemas across the UK from Wednesday, 21st March 2018 - indeed, you can find screenings near you and book tickets to see the film right now via the official web site.
However, that's not all we're planning around the return of Code Geass to the UK - ever since its debut on Japanese TV screens over a decade ago, we've been massive fans of the franchise here in the Anime Limited office, and thus we wanted to provide you with an even more enticing experience about this new film for a very limited number of Code Geass fans.
As a result, we've teamed up with the Odeon Haymarket cinema to offer just 45 attendees a Code Geass experience like no other. Not only will you be the first to see the film in the UK courtesy of a screening at 8:15PM on Tuesday 20th March 2018 (a day before the full theatrical release), your premium ticket will entitle you to the following:
- Attendance to the aforementioned screening of the film
- A replica of the film's theatrical poster, as seen on this page
- An exclusive art card sporting an image from the film, which also includes...
- An AllTheAnime.com web store exclusive discount code entitling you to a single copy of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion I – Initiation on Blu-ray upon its UK release *
All of this, for just £30.75!
With just 45 places available, numbers are extremely limited for this premium event, so be sure to book tickets now using the link below:

* The precise contents and release date of the UK Blu-ray release for Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion I – Initiation are currently yet to be confirmed. Voucher codes will have no expiry date, and can be redeemed at any time from the AllTheAnime.com store once the relevant product is available for purchase.
If you're still on the fence about this fantastic event, here's a little more about the film for you:
ABOUT 'Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion I - Initiation'
From the studio that brought you Mobile Suit Gundam and Cowboy Bebop.
Synopsis: "In a world dominated by the Holy Empire of Britannia, most of the globe has been conquered and forced into submission by this behemoth of a superpower. Japan, now renamed Area 11 after its defeat at the hands of the Empire, continues to harbour pockets of seemingly futile resistance that seems powerless in the face of the might before them.
Enter Lelouch Lamperouge, an exiled Britannian prince hidden away under a false name in Area 11 - harbouring a deep hatred for the empire which has forsaken him, he grabs the chance to fight back when a mysterious power known as “Geass” is bestowed upon him, and begins working from the shadows to bring Britannia to its knees as the faceless leader of Area 11’s resistance."
Duration: 135 mins
Language: Japanese with English subtitles
It's worth noting this film project has reunited the staff of the original series to bring the story to the big screen. There are some newly added scenes and the voices have been re-recorded by the original Japanese voice cast to truly make this a unique experience for all fans.
Also worth noting the film is in Japanese with English subtitles only, as there is no English dub for the film.
Check out the trailer for the film below:
We look forward to hearing all about your great Code Geass experience at the Odeon Haymarket on March 20th, but until next time take care!

Erased and Re:Rewind
By Tom Smith. 
Nostalgia can be a beautiful thing. A blast of Tears for Fears, Backstreet Boys or The Undertones can instantly bring back memories of another time and its fashions or pop culture. It can be a big part of setting the scene and drawing in an audience for time travel stories or shows set in a particular decade. Anime Limited’s new series Erased has a double serving of such things, with its tale being set in the mid 2000s and featuring time travel to the 1980s – two decades full of fantastic music and questionable fashions!

Momotaro, Sacred Sailors
By Jasper Sharp.
Momotaro, Sacred Sailors, a bizarre piece of wartime propaganda targeted at children, coming to UK Blu-ray over 70 years since its original theatrical release in April 1945.
Sacred Sailors is a monumental work in the evolution of Japanese animation, and a testament to the dark days of modern history, funded by the Japanese Imperial Navy to promote a martial spirit among the young. At 74 minutes, it was the first true feature-length Japanese cartoon, at the maximum allowed running time under wartime austerity measures – the Japanese government began rationing film stock in 1943, bringing an end to the days of 90-minute features
Wolf’s Rain
By Andrew Osmond. 
“There’s no such place as Paradise… but why am I so driven to find it?” asks one of four wolves, struggling to survive in a doomed, wintry human world. Despite their suspicions of each other, the four (later five) find themselves travelling together on a journey to open the gates of Paradise. Continue Reading
