Summary
In an alternate timeline where the Holy Britannian Empire has conquered Japan and renamed it Area 11, exiled prince Lelouch Lamperouge gains a mysterious power called Geass that lets him command anyone to obey a single order. Taking up the masked identity of Zero, he leads the rebel Black Knights in a war against Britannia, seeking to topple his father's empire and build a gentler world for his blind sister Nunnally.
Code Geass is a 2006 action, animation and drama television series.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s television series — 1,360 of them. 156 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 190 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Code Geass lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2000s (1,360 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 156.
