What is Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture about?
Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture (originally announced as Z of the Recapture) is the latest project of the popular mecha anime franchise. Produced by Sunrise, the anime movie will focus on the titular character Rozé and his brother, Ash. Set in the world created by Goro Taniguchi and Ichiro Okouchi, the story will follow the mercenary pair of new characters on an all-new action-packed adventure full of mecha battles.
The mercenary borthers are from what was once Hokkaido in Year 7 of the Kowa era. Rozé is the younger brother with a knack for leadership and gathering intelligence; and Asha is the elder brother with high athletic and Knightmare piloting skills. Rozé is set to embark on a quest to capture Empress Sakuya from the clutches of the Neo Britannian Empire.
