lol, is that.... Suzaku? :D
Yeah. That is the reason why this is one of my favorite Geass pics. I love the text as well. It means "Taste of the ground."
Eat dirt, Suzaku.
Epic pic is Epic.
EDIT: Damn, Archie posted right before me. My response was to the Kindergarten pic.
LOL.
If it weren't for the edit, I would say you have very strange tastes.
you guys read the whole post ?
i actually can't remember anyone being in the European front... and i also can't remember what year the events in the series are supposed to take place in?Quote:

I'm just about thrilled that this has no relation to the old show and that it should have a totally original cast. keeping my fingers crossed that this is something like the 08th MS Team of the Geass franchise.
Backing out of it eh? :PQuote:

According to the first episode of season 1, Japan was invaded by Britannia on August 10, 2010 (a.t.b.). At the time, Lelouch and Suzaku had recently met. The series proper began in 2017 (a.t.b.), so it will be simultaneous with Zero's rise to power.Quote:

Unless by "Allied" they mean the Japanese resistance fighters and not Britannian Empire. Then it would be anyone's guess.
And people insisted Lelouch was alive... hmmmm

The whole sunruse staff could get "Lelouch is dead" tattooed on their asses and i couldn't care less, as far as i'm concerned he is alive and having wild crazy monkey sex with CC 24/7
But our poor mastermind has the endurance of an 80yr old. Too bad he's already geassed himself once.Quote:

Initially I thought she was some royal from Britannia, but since Nunnaly is there, I guess she's a never-introduced EU rep.Quote:

Sorry for reviving an old thread like this, but I just finished the series yesterday, and it's not a series to keep quiet about IMO.
As most of you would agree, it was GOOD. I didn't intend a marathon, but I just couldn't stop. It's been a long time for me that I hád to finish the series as fast as possible. I haven't read all of the 97 pages of this thread, so I'm sorry if I say things that are already said.
When Rolo killed Shirley I wanted to jump into my PC and rip the guy to shreads. (very much like Lelouch wanted to himself) For some reason I always imagined Lelouch ending up with her, after granting C.C.'s wish of dying. Somehow I'm always rooting for such impossible romances..
Something that bugged me the last few episodes was that I don't understand why Lelouch made himself a tyrant. If he had a better idea for a world, why not do that instead. He started out by reforming the world, so why not continue? He could've warned the world about Damocles' threat, mobilized everyone and take it down. Instead he made the world his enemy. Did I miss this reasoning in the series?
About him being dead or not: I really think he's dead. He'd lost everything he fought for, even Nunnally disagreed with him and was prepared to kill him. He was aware of what horrible things he did, in order to achieve what he did, so I think a part of his whole final plan was to atone for his sins. The main thing he did was giving people hope for the future in the form of the symbol called Zero.
I think that C.C.'s saying that the Geass doesn't make you lonely refers to the redemption between Lelouch and Suzaku. They came together as best friends to accomplish their goals. They parted as friends as well.
When I read about a 3rd season I was hoping it was about completely erase Geass from the world. I remember C.C. in Season 1 yelling towards the Geass mark something like "don't infect me". The origin of the Geass is something you can base a new season on. The flashbacks showing masses of 'infected' people, just screams for an explanation. Somehow I also wanted to see that Lelouch's true intentions were revealed to the world to redeem him. A 'spinoff' kind of series isn't a good idea IMO.. Code Geass = Lelouch.
As with most series that end pretty sudden, I always long for a whole x-years/months after episode. The 2 minute wrapup is a bit short in my opinion. Even though I liked the ending, the whole stage was set for a kind of 'reset' ending. The world of C was pretty much a big reset button. I would have forgiven that ending here, even though I normally see it as an escape from a real ending. Even if the S3 was about annihilating the Geass, a reset end would be nice IMO. Too many good characters died.
Nevertheless this is one of the few series that ended with me being teary-eyed at the end.
It sucks that there are no Blu-ray releases that are subbed, because I'd love to own this series. I refuse to go from HD to SD quality, just because the US companies are too lazy to release them in HD.
Like you said, Lelouch wanted to atone for his sins. Suzaku, CC and Lelouch discussed this plan when they were in the World of Geass (or whatever place it was after they defeated Charles. Tower of something). Suzaku was going to kill Lelouch, and Lelouch was going to let him, though not before setting things straight.Quote:

Season 3 is gonna be a prequel taking place, hundreds of years in the past. The only returning character is C.C.( ^_^)
Nothing unites the world better than a common enemy. Nobody knew Lelouch beforehand, so he made a fine ultimate tyrant out of the blue, whom everybody could quickly hate and none defend. Of course nothing would prevent the world from going back to the old warring ways afterwards, so Zero's legend was left behind. I'm far from sure Lelouch wanted to atone for his sins as much as he wanted to leave Nunnally a better world, which was his aim from the get-go. I also don't think he and Suzaku ever became friends again after what happened; their aims simply coincided and the murderous Suzaku was ever too happy to slay Lelouch, as if he himself had never done any fell deeds. But of course Suzaku didn't really draw a much longer straw, being forced to remain Zero and fight for the rest of his days, incognito in the shadows since Suzaku Kururugi was a tainted war criminal, having publicly served Lelouch the tyrant.
If its based on the prequel manga I've been reading at mangafox I'll have to skip it. Its terrible.Quote:

Masayuki Ozaki, the General Manager of Overseas Development at the anime studio Sunrise, confirmed that the studio is "looking forward to releasing" the new Code Geass anime project next year, although its production is behind schedule. During Sunrise's industry panel at Otakon on Sunday, Ozaki referred to the new project as the "next season of Code Geass" and noted that its director is Kazuki Akane (The Vision of Escaflowne, Noein - to your other self).
Ozaki described the project as taking place "in the same world as Lelouch [the protagonist of the earlier Code Geass anime] except with different characters (...) the stage is set in Europe, so we'll see a lot of European countries."
The Code Geass Gaiden Bōkoku no Akito project was announced in April of last year. The side story is set in the European warfront, where a Knightmare unit made of boys and girls from Zone Eleven is sent into a military operation with a 5% chance of survival. They must rescue an allied unit left behind on the European warfront. Apart from Akane, the credits include Shigeru Morita (Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, Blood+), with Takahiro Kimura once again adapting CLAMP's original character designs for animation (as he did for the previous Code Geass anime). Akira Yasuda returns to design the mechanical Knightmare units.
No Lelouch, no buy.
Though I know it's futile (it's Sunrise, after all), but I'll watch this in the hopes it actually would present less superpowered individual characters and consequently would show us more gruesome and realistic warfare. You never know!
Personally, I thought there weren't enough superpowered characters. The damn Geass order was massive and yet we saw very few Geass users throughout the series. I wanted to see more of them, kinda like the Nightmare of Nuanally spinoff manga.Quote:
Originally Posted by Kraco

Indeed, like Shinta said, I counted the numerous elites in the super powered ones. The kind of people who alone could solve a difficult situations. Lelouch with his super brains would have been one even without the geass. He was rarely outsmarted yet frequently cooked up plans that perfectly predicted the enemy response. I'm hoping for a hopeless looking war where heads are rolling left and right and little seems to go as the cast anticipated, bringing numerous setbacks and deaths of named characters, but at the same time the enemy making mistakes or miscalculations as well, making progress possible.
Ignoring the debate about super powers: I seriously doubt that this follow-up series will be anywhere as good as the original show. But I´ll watch it nonetheless. Here´s hope that Lelouch will make an appearance.
Now the thing is, if this new show doesn't all the things that made the old one what it was... it's hardly the "next season" of Code Geass. It's just another story set in the same universe.
All that this show will take to hook me into following this is an announcement that C.C. will be a major character again.
C.C. shouldn't be there since this new series is suppossed to happen at the same time at the Europe front.
Oh.. at the same time.Quote:

Code Geass Timeline from Code Geass Wikia
Code Geass Bokuko no Akito announcement from ANN back in April 2010Quote:
2017 a.t.b. / 1962 A.D.
Viceroy and Third Prince Clovis la Britannia is killed by Zero.
Second Princess Cornelia li Britannia is appointed Viceroy of Area 11, naming Third Princess Euphemia li Britannia as sub-viceroy. Cornelia immediately begins her campaign to bring Zero to justice.
Zero forms the Order of the Black Knights. Its membership expands with each victory. All attempts to destroy the Black Knights end in failure.
Using her power, Euphemia li Britannia tries to create a Special Administrative Zone of Japan.[1] It is "revealed" to be a plot to massacre the Elevens, and she is killed by Zero.
The Black Rebellion breaks out. The Black Knights ignite riots across the country as they continue to push towards the Area 11 Viceroy Palace. The rebellion is eventually pushed back and crushed, with most of the Black Knights killed or captured. Area 11 is demoted to a correctional sub-area.
Second Princess Cornelia li Britannia is gone missing during the Black Rebellion. Her position as Viceroy of Area 11 later is taken by Calares.
Pulled out of the ass huh? I knew I read about it before. Suck on that Archie.Quote:
The Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Kiseki no Birthday event video release is announcing a new anime project called Code Geass Gaiden Bōkoku no Akito on Friday. The side story is set in the European warfront, where a unit made of boys and girls from Zone Eleven is sent into a military operation with a 5% chance of survival.
Update: The BIGLOBE website began streaming the event video at midnight on Friday. The event video is also available in Japan on Blu-ray, DVD, and UMD.
Update 2: Kazuki Akane (Escaflowne, Noein - to your other self, Birdy the Mighty Decode) is directing off scripts by Shigeru Morita (Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, Toward the Terra, Blood+). As in the previous two television series, Takahiro Kimura is adapting CLAMP's original character designs for animation. Akira Yasuda is also returning to design the mechanical Nightmare units. The anime studio Sunrise, the previous Code Geass director Goro Taniguchi, and the previous series script supervisor Ichiro Okouchi are credited with the original story.
The new side story is set in a.t.b.2017. A Knightmare unit made of boys and girls from Zone Eleven are thrown into a military operation with a 5% chance of survival. They must rescue an allied unit left behind on the European warfront.
Yeah! You suck it hard!!
Information over a year old that's never been mentioned again? Sounds reliable!
Yes, because the ONLY trailer released about this project states the same.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoQ-W1Tqo10
The only new information released is 'hey, we are still doing it!' and while they haven't confirmed they are still following the previous released information, they aren't contradicting it either.
So, as much as you hate it, this is the only official information so far.
If that's still the plan then that was one weird ass phrasing they used in the interview. Either that or i'm missing something from the translation.
Discussing the legitimacy of information is fine, but do refrain from posts that only infuriate others. Thanks guys.Quote:

Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch | Lelouch of the Rebellion S01 [gg-THORA]
Wait, the director of Noein and Birdy? Awman, this totally has the potential to be a heavily sakuga focused series! I really hope Akane works with Ryo-timo again like on the Birdy shows. Hopefully Ryo-timo's Yozakura OVAs are finished by then so he can get on board with this. And even if Ryo-timo is more responsible for Birdy's outcome, Akane directed the series and had to oversee everything he was doing. Not to mention dude was director of Noein. Maybe Noein's style could be attributed more to Matsumoto, Ryo-timo, Utsunomiya etc., but still, Akane is the guy who got all of them on board with the project. So even if he can't be directly blamed, he has still shown complete approval and support for what they're doing (I mean, he must've really liked Ryo-timo on Noein if he let him be head sakkan on both Birdy shows). And even if the entire series isn't in the same vein as either of those shows, then at the least we should be able to expect a single web-kei episode. Like, even if Ryo-timo doesn't sakkan, we should totally expect him to do some key animation in an episode or two at the very least.
Wasn't really big on Code Geass, but I am definitely anticipating this show.
Thanks Marik! Downloading the Picture dramas alone now :D
Hate the music. Hyuuga Akito looks too much like Lelouch. And god, I hate that "look at me, im mysterious. I´ll be appearing every 2-3 eps and make a foreshadowing comment"-girl. lol
All male characters look like Lelouch. Just different eyes and hair. Pretty sure I'm not going to watch this one.
I think it looked pretty good. Not good for Europe but good for the story. I hope the knightmares will stay less fancy and pilots and ruthless strategy thus play a consistently bigger role (absolutely not meaning we'd need more spinzakus).
I didn't see any hint of a Geass in that trailer, so I'm hoping they just want it to be a surprise.
Or am I forgetting something important from the end of season 2 regarding that.
The blond girl looked like she was about to use some sort of eye power in that trailer.Quote:

Haha, seems like the video is down. A promotional video was taken down because of a copyright claim. I'd understand if some family product manufacturer wouldn't like its commercial being aired on an exclusive porn channel, but what is this all about? Typical Japanese nonsense, no doubt.

Spoilers below, naturally.
So they're basically doing the NGE thing.
Post movie thoughts:
-If you didn't watch the recap movies, go back and watch it.
-I came into this expecting more information regarding the Code tribe (not the Code Order featured in this movie, but the Code-bearing tribe seen in C.C.'s flashbacks) along with the whole Jupiter connection. None of that happened. We just got a bit more mumbojumbo which was slightly disappointing.
-This version of Lelouch's survival retcons a few things. In particular, the assumption in the original series is that once a Geass user becomes a Code user, they lose access to their Geass. I don't think this was stated outright in the series, but it's heavily implied. No code user used a Geass ever. These movies danced around this issue by never explaining C.C.'s power origin at all.
----This makes the whole "He used his Geass while not resolving his Code issue" or whatever weird.
-On that note, C.C.'s explanation regarding their immortality is that they replace body parts. She also says that it's actually a finite resource since Lelough screwed up C's World order. Technically, she's not immortal anymore if she chooses to die enough times without replenishing her stock. Not that she wants to die anymore because...
-C.C. x L.L. ship sails! 10 years man... 10 years of waiting for this damn ending. It feels so good. Great use of Cheese-kun being gradually squeezed as a way of showing C.C.'s emotions. Apparently there's more material to come so bring it on.
-As for the movie itself, it's pretty fanservicey in that it's unnecessary except to reignite the franchise, reunite a bunch of characters and give us a C.C. shipping. The "revive Lelouch" arch of this movie was entertaining enough. "Rescue Nunally" was meh. Our mech pilots actually had hinderance armour to stop them being too OP. The enemies Geass rewinding time is pretty broken. Most other powers have been about affecting human perceptions or minds.
---Mao read minds,
---Lelouch commands,
---Charles rewrites memories,
---Marianne invades souls,
---C.C.'s remakes people love her,
---Rolo stops people's perception of time.
---Knight of One's is the only difference in that it reads the future.
-Back to the Geass/Code combo which is now possible. Remember how Code Users were immune to Geass powers? Well apparently that's not the case anymore, and it's just C.C. . Because, you know.. the evil lady wouldn't have been susceptible to Lelouch's sleep command since she also has a code.
-Blowing her up after making her sleep for 10hrs prior means she can't modify the past, but it means she can still come back to life and screw with your life later. Didn't they think this through before drawing a Code symbol on her abdomen?
-Lelouch's Geass no longer being permanent is a quality of life change for him. That said, it also ruins the progression that was previously established (Geass becomes permanent as it becomes stronger, and only strong Geass users are later able to take Codes from their predecessors.)
-What's also funny is that Lelouch's power will only become less useful if he abuses it. People can only follow his command once. Since he's now immortal and going around the world, it's reasonable to think that one day his plan-of-the-day could fail because someone he was going to Geass had already been Geassed previously.
-Cornelia! I'm a huge fan of her 2nd to C.C. and damn she's as good as ever. That armpit bondage scene from R2 was still great. The animators have taste.

Final one that I'm going to link for a while.
Quick question about the new movie.
Did parts of the old series get retconned? Because it seems like a direct continuation, but Shirley seems to be alive, and I remember her being...super dead.
Edit: Oh wait, I see, there were recap movies that changed things.
Anyway, I'm glad my interpretation of the series end was right(eventually), with him being alive, even though the details were different than I thought.
I remember there being once an interview where staff from the series specifically said that Lelouch wasn't the cart driver in the original ending, and that he was dead.
Yeah, I just assume this new ending is a retcon, even though I totally supported Cart Driver Lelouche back in the day.Quote:

Pretty much the only worthy thing in this movie.Quote:

From a practical point of view it doesn't make any difference, but it's better than assuming she returns the whole solar system 9 hours into the past.Quote:

2) Alternatively if her Geass is activated voluntarily, then when she dies she can just resurrect herself (because she's a code bearer) without resetting time. In which case, that's my proposed scenario - she comes back to hurt you again because she's undying.
I feel like you misinterpreted me. When I say a "permanent Geass", I mean a Geass that he can't turn on/off at will. That's how he accidentally made Euphy kill Japs. And in R2, ever since that moment his Geass had been permanently active, requiring him to use contact lenses to hide its effect. I think wikis have been calling it a "runaway Geass".Quote:

Shirley he did harbor some degree of romantic feelings for, but it always felt like he didn't want to act on them for various reasons. It was like a teen romance that fell apart from his side because he was out and about murdering people while Shirley retained her innocence.
CC was a very slow burn romance that started from mutual distrust/wariness.
So it's very rewarding to see fulfilled. Even in a generally garbage film.
I guess. CC always just seemed like a weird god watching Lelouche's antics to not be bored.Quote:

-The final scene was straight up "C.C. marry me please", which I'm quite content with, even if it was a fanservice-like ending.
-The last 3 picture dramas I linked actually show some romantic bits rather well.
As for Shirley, the movies did change things up because she didn't die. In the first series he came to terms with his feelings for her when Rolo killed her, which prompted him to annihilate the Geass Order.
It has been a long time since I watched the series, but somehow I seem to remember C.C. kissing Lelouch near the end of the first season, I think, before some crucial battle. But maybe I'm just imagining that and remembering nonexistent things if DarthEnderX has got such a view of things.
All in all C.C. was the only person whom Lelouch could really trust throughout the whole story, who was more or less always with him, through fire and water. They really spent a lot of time together, and it wasn't any stiff business relationship. He tolerated her selfish, capricious behavior unlike anyone else's. I always felt like Lelouch had two bottom lines: Nunnally and C.C, the only difference being that C.C. didn't need a whole lot of protecting and was actually useful, but both of those two girls were the elements Lelouch needed to keep going, though for different reasons.
At the end of the day Lelouch probably requires a weird woman to keep him company. He's pretty weird himself.
What about the time when C.C. kissed Lelouch in a robot? And the 2nd time she kissed Lelouch at the start of R2?
It's been, like, 10 years for me also. So your memories are likely as good as mine.Quote:

MILF C.C?
She doesn't look old enough to be a MILF, that's what throws that whole concept off.
I've only ever managed to conceptualize MILF in a pornographic context, never in a truly romantic one.
