I've followed tons of shows right from their first announcement, sequels and movies as well as alternative series that came after from magazine announcement to teaser to trailer to series and afterward. In all those years it becomes rather obvious when a studio is stopping one story to maintain its popularity and is continuing with an alternative one. There have been series from sunrise that have made that mistake, to make sequel after sequel and see their sales drop rapidly they surely do not want that happening again. Second pointer is that why announce a new manga in such a big announcing way when we all know that the manga series in geass have never been all that popular, the anime was always the drive not the manga. Why would they suddenly announce the new manga with a big page cover up when it hadn't been done that way before for manga sequels. Why place all this attention on new plot, the new project if there would just be an R3 animated? R3 would clearly whipe the new manga off the table, rendering the costs to make such advertising useless and the manga nothing but scrap paper, if it were R3 being animated then Sunrise would be teasing us far worse than this, instead they show us that a new manga project has been launched, they show us pictures, tell us in the report that the new project involves new video work, music, goods etc. the story script for the manga is written by an anime director.. no clearly there is no sign at all that this new manga will not be animated.. and pigs can fly

This seems to be a rather common problem, we tend to confused opinion with fact.

Given all the information we have right now, the only safe assumption is that Sunrise wants to make sure their manga sells well or rather gets more attention. That's it, but if you want to go ahead and say that the new animation will be based on the manga then that's fine too, just don't try to pass it as fact when it isn't, yet anyway (assuming it even comes to pass).

Your argument basically boils down to "I have watched anime for a long time so my opinion is fact"
