You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
Who was the little blond girl sitting beside Nunnally in the scene with Tian Zi and Kaguya? I don't recognize her at all. I remembered who everyone else was eventually, even if their appearances had changed a little bit or considerably, except for that girl.
(Kaguya looked absurdly tall given how little Nunnally and Tian Zi had aged)
Initially I thought she was some royal from Britannia, but since Nunnaly is there, I guess she's a never-introduced EU rep.
The video did look incomplete, considering how the music was suddenly cut off and all.
@fireheart: haha, I totally forgot about Orange-kun. Guess we can count on him to "continue the royal bloodline".
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
My guess on the unknown girl is that she is from the new Code Geass project on the European Front.
About the video feeling incomplete... we kinda need someone to translate the full DVD. I think it has a 'Live' Section with the voice actors narrating a la picture drama some sections. And after that part it comes this animated picture drama. Im still looking for the live one. The 'terrorists' seem to be Chinese Activists or something like that.
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.
He can't go out and reveal the plans to everybody since it would make him a hero. How would the world react when their hero dies and/or is revealed to have done so many unjust acts? He played the devil and left the world with a pure symbol worth following - Zero.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
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.
Lol, it really is.
I'm pretty sure the makers of the series have since come out and stated that he's really dead.
Source: ANNMasayuki 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.
I think Lelouch with his brains and Suzaku with his brawn, as well as the huge number of elites in the show count as super powered individual characters.
Peace.
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.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
C.C. shouldn't be there since this new series is suppossed to happen at the same time at the Europe front.
