MENTALITY
Code: Breaker is a standard superpower shounen and one should get into it without having many expectations. Proof of which is the very opening song. It’s a nice dynamic piece, but it shows nothing besides the main characters doing a demonstration of their superpowers. No context besides that; it’s just what it seems. There is enough bravado and flashiness to keep the average viewer somewhat interested to see what will happen but in the long run it is nothing memorable or special.
CAST
You get Sakura, a high school girl in the role of Ms Pacifism. She is presented as a Mary Sue, perfect in anything, grades, sports, martial arts, and with a perfect morality that makes even boy scouts to feel ashamed. Everybody loves her, everybody wants to be like her, her life is perfect. Until a…

Think this is a ripoff of Blue Exorcist because the main character has black hair, blue flames, and the same seiyuu as Rin Okumura? Well, you're wrong; those are all just very big coincidences.
I don't know why this is rated so low? I mean, maybe the people that've seen it have read and prefer the manga, I don't know. I'm gonna read the manga next, so I guess I'll see, but this anime still felt really amazing to watch.
So, the art and sound were pretty average. I like the opening and ending, but in between, the music was touch and go. The Code:Breakers have special abilities that probably could've been translated a little better to screen than they were, but it was still interesting artwork.
The voice acting was on point. I loved it. I don't normally point out voice acting when I rev…

Code: Breaker kind of bothers me, I've been pondering for 5 minutes on how to start this review but with all my thoughts and ideas I can't even fathom a way to make this opening paragraph seem enticing to the reader. You might be thinking that this is because of lazy writing or that I'm not on my A-game because I barely have the time or enthusiasm to write these anymore. But.. It's not that. No, the reason I can't say anything for this anime in my aimless opening paragraph is simply because this anime is so average. So mediocre. So normal. That's not to say it's bad. I'm hardly ready to grab my torch and pitch-fork over the 13 episodes I was exposed to, but I am ready to give you a long sigh and a little insight as to why I find Code: Breaker so hard to praise.

This anime had a lot of potential, but for me its biggest flaw was how it handled its female characters, particularly the lead, Sakura. This review may have mild spoilers so don't read it if you intend to watch the anime.
1. It's frustrating to see a teenage girl THIS oblivious and idealistic in today's world. All that comes out other mouth are the words - please, stop, I beg you, you are wrong, don't do this, no, blah blah blah. I'm assuming her role was to act as the moral compass to Code Breaker 6's staunch ideals, but she only came across as a whiny, useless teenage girl.
2. She is trained in martial arts and yet her best weapons are her tears. All she does is cry and beg for evil people to NOT be killed. Wow.
3. The man:woman ratio. In a world where half the population is female, t…

After just finishing all the Code:Breaker episodes, I must say that I am extremely disappointed. As a lot of the reviews already mentioned other aspects of why the series didn't run well, I am here to discuss my overall disappoint in the character Sakura.
As she was one of the main leads, I had great expectations until the very last episode waiting for the final moment were she wasn't a useless, stereotypical whiny teenage girl.
As seen in the beginning, she has a brilliant talent in martial arts and is supposedly a very capable fighter, but in the entire series never really did anything with it which was a huge disappointment.
And when she was discovered as a 'rare breed' and had the power to nullify others powers, I kept thinking that we would see much more of her exploring it and other…

Code Breaker is not about Java security breaches but rather about a Japanese version of X-Men, cast with bishounen guys and a female version of Touma from Toaru Majutsu no Index. Basically, there are a great deal of children with "special abilities", which the government takes care of. The most powerful of these ability users are turned into 007-type agents that do the bidding of the Prime Minister, unbeknownst to the greater Japanese population. Our protagonist, Sakura, one day discovers one of these "code breakers" in action as he kills some unimportant fodder characters. Will her investigations lead her down a path of disaster?
The idea of elemental super-humans is nothing new, explored in other shows like K and, more thoroughly, in the Toaru series. While the huge bishounen to female…

Well, I came to this Anime like a "Meeting-by-Chance"! I've never heard of it, I had no idea about what's going on there and so on...
After I finished watching it I must say, I did not waste my time with it! It's got a good visual quality, some nice characters (in my case I liked Ogami and Yuuki most) and nicely choreographed battle scenes.
The balance and the dynamic between Humor, Action and a little bit drama is done wonderfully and keeps the audiences attention, throughout the anime, "upright" ;)
The little problem tough is how this anime has been set out so far. I don't really like the ending. I mean, everything before was done very nicely and I did enjoy it - that's why my expectations grew over the time while I was watching C:B. But the end can be compared to a crash with another…

Looking at the image of this anime, I thought it would be amazing, but i was sorely disappointed. It's not necessarily a bad anime, its the characters themselves that leave something to be desired. Normally, as time goes on in an anime, characters develop and change. Here they don't
Sakura probably changes the most throughout this anime when she meets a Code:Breaker named Oogami Rei, who, sadly, is a A-hole pretty much the whole anime, though she some how manages to fall in love with him.
Admittedly he does have a tragic back story and does deserve some pity, but he never changes. I would talk about the other characters, but such little is known about them that it would be practically impossible.
The plot is the one good thing this anime has going for it. A secret organization called Co…

So, Code;Breaker. A 13 episode adaption of an over 200 chapter manga. Of course it doesn't come out that good...
Code;Breaker is based on a manga by Kamijyo Akimine, who also originally wrote Samurai Deeper Kyo, and the anime is directed by Irie Yasuhiro, who also directed Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It tells the tale of an ordinary high school student, Sakurakouji Sakura. One day however, while riding a bus, she sees a man burn several people with blue flames, but when she goes tot he scene of the crime, there are no ashes. The next day the man has became a transfer student at her high school, and Sakura learns he is a Code;Breaker, who seems to be a group of people with special powers who work for the government. Sakura makes it her goal to stop this man from killing, no matter how…

[Spoiler Warning]
NOTE: This is my first review at MAL, so please bear with me. Also, I haven’t read the manga AT ALL, and I don’t know if the manga’s story is similar to the anime’s. Consider this as a point of view of someone who just watched the anime. There are some spoilers along the way to explain my point in the review, so read at your own risk. :)
I remembered watching the first few episodes of Code:Breaker (together with a few more anime) when it was still being aired last year. I got curious since I thought, “Hey another super power-themed shonen anime! Cool!” After watching those few episodes, I stopped watching it and simply waited for the series to finish since I got tired of waiting for a new episode, which was released weekly.
While watching the last episodes of Code:Brea…

Art is old school so I thought this show will have an old school feeling. But I ended up being bored.
At first, the protagonist is badass, but they show later on shows him as being kind-hearted, which is contradictory because of the things he did and attempted to do.
Fight choreography was mediocre, wasn't really impressed with the fight scenes. So much time was wasted at the school.
Extremely repetitive. They will fight, then not fight. Be all buddy-buddy and then hate each other. And they say their names every 5 seconds. I know their names already.

To start i liked this anime. It had action, superpowers, romance and many good stuff. Another feature i liked was the number of episodes.13. I like anime that has a little series.
So this anime is about a girl Sakura and a mysterious guy Ogami. First it has romance and mystery.Soon the whole series turn into action. The characters were good, especially i liked Yuki and Heike.
To sum up it is a good anime if you like superpowers but still realistic setting

I didn't expect a lot from Code: Breaker going into it. This was probably from reading some of the bad reviews. The synopsis wasn't even that intriguing, and it really sounded as if it would be a mediocre anime series at best. I know it is an ongoing manga series, but I decided to try the 13 episode anime first because it is so short. I am glad I gave this series a look, and it's definitely better than I expected. Though it has some low points in quality, it has some really high points that bring it to a low 8 in my book.
The synopsis doesn't really tell you much, nor does it prepare you for what you are about to watch. The synopsis is quite simply an introduction to the first episode. This series is about Code:Breakers (people with special abilities or super powers) that hunt and kill ev…

Story - "from the beggining you know the end". Thats pretty much it.
Characters are standard.
Sakura is concentration of universal goodness and justice.
Only the "sixth" as a character aroused my interest in its non-standard compared to other mainstream TV series and films. He is not nice, two-faced, cynical and ... enjoys committed justice.
Animation is so-so. Backgrounds are nice.
Verdict: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, evil for evil.
Rating overall: 5/10 I bet you drop it on 3 - 5 episode.

If you like original, innovative anime with dynamic characters and complex storylines, turn away now. Turn away and don’t look back. However, if you’re looking for something with super-powered, angsty pretty boys and rather cool fight scenes, you might want to give this a try.
By far, Code:Breaker is the most generic anime I’ve ever seen, and its start is much rougher than its conclusion. For the first 5 or 6 episodes, I had this anime pinned as a 4. The two main characters, a Mary Sue and a cliché, angst-ridden teenage boy, were the perfect broken record duo. Every fight turned into a bland, depthless argument between whiny Sakura and expressionless Ogami. “Don’t kill this man!” says Sakura. “But I’m evil,” says Ogami, and incinerates the man’s head. “Oh, well then don’t kill THAT man!”…

Adaptation:Breaker
Talk about a poor adaptation. After reading some of the manga, I was anticipating what this series could do when moved to the big stage aka. adapted into an anime. Not only does this series fail as an adaptation, but it fails as a stand-alone anime series. There were so many failures with this series that I don't even know where to begin. I guess let's start with the plot.
The plot itself is at least interesting. A select group of agents within the government, unbeknown to mankind with special abilities are hired to eliminate evil. This story follows one such agent who is assigned to protect a "rare breed", someone who has the ability to nullify special abilities. In my opinion, it's a decent plot...but the story's progression was weak and stereotypical. As the story p…

Code Breaker is a very typical if not just generic shonen anime following the story of Code:Breakers, people with special powers that are used by the goverment to kill criminals that for one reason or the other are untouchable by regular authorities
Story:
The story stars off a bit slow but sets some good foundations of the world the story takes place in, and who the Code:Breakers are. Sadly there are a bit too many filler scenes (and chapters) that would be expected from a Anime that will have 50+ chapter, but with only 13 Code:Breaker is on the short side and spends too much time developing characters and locations (like the highschool) that end up having no relevance to the main story.
As for the rest, it's fairly entertaining and does pick up towards the end but never really leaves t…

Code Breaker was probably one of the animes i had more faith to be good when it came out. Well i can say it didnt fulfill my expectations.
Probably the worst aspect of the anime is the characters, specially the female protagonist. She is just annoying with a ridiculous sense of justice, and probably its one of the characters in any anime with more repetitive dialogue. I swear i have heard her yelling "oogami-kun!" (the male protagonist name) like 20 times in each episode followed by the sentence "dont kill him" or "dont do this" or similar stuff. Anyone that has watched the fighting scene between Ichigo and Grimmjow in Bleach will remember how annoying Orihime was by repeating non-stop "kurosaki-kun", well, the girl from code breaker is far worse and she does it in every chapter of the 13…

What is evil?
It can be describe as something wicked, malevolent, sinister, ill, or something which holds responsibility for the bad things that happen in this world. It's a four letter word that strikes fear, anxiety, and many other emotions. In the real world, people commit deeds through free will. Some of these are good deeds, while others are evil. In the Code Breaker world, there exists supernatural beings who are able to judge deeds (good/evil) and carry out justice with an iron fist.

The series is written by Akimine Kamijyo based off the manga of the same name who is also known for her previous work, Samurai Deeper Kyo. It all begins one day when Sakura, a local high sc…
