Okay, the translation of chapter 7 of the Oz photo story has been completed! Not much new information in this one, besides a minor mention about Euro Britannia and a little insight into some of Orpheus' piloting skills. Please go check it out.

I change anime endings.

I downloaded the first two tankobon of code geass OZ, well....a pure license exploitation and a total out-of-the-world story.
In the summary they made a complete connection with R1 events, but after....what the hell is this story? First of all, the britannian now are the main characters, but they're all good people. Second, they're 100% japanese in everything, are the japanese writers return back to the dark ages? |

Did you expect all of them to be evil? I'd say it would be more problematic. Quote:

Well, depend by point of view, in the past japan anime wasn't so obsessive about their tradition or lifestyle.
Code geass story was in Japan......but OZ is totally in another place, Europe and India, and western characters, (excluding a couple of them in two entire tankobon) then the japan "influence" is very out of place this time. If in the first serie they designed all the britannian (army side) like evil and racist, and only Gino can be put in the good side (nonette isn't present then not counted), a story where birtannian soldiers are all good is a paradox. |

Besides...the first series, as you mentioned, took place in Japan. It's not too difficult to believe that permanent occupation forces would be worse, comparatively speaking, than a new unit that seems to consist of relatively inexperienced youths. I also don't get the impression they're going around denouncing racism and saving the Japanese or anything like that, so it d doesn't come across as a true contradiction. If they are simply being shown as sympathetic characters, I have no issues with that. Last edited by Xander; 2013-01-26 at 11:59. |

Personally, I like the more down to Earth, stronger Worldbuilding approach Akito is taking. I know a lot of people like the Narm Charm of the original but I like that it's going for a more Military Sci-Fi/Science Fantasy angle.
I've kinda given up hope that Geass will ever have a coherent canon; it's whole Alternate History angle is a bit of a mess (albeit an interesting one). Akito actually contradicts the Britannian Dating scheme with the new French Revolutionary Dating scheme, it should be 173 but it's stated as 228, which is assuming the show took place in A.D. 2017, not A.T.B. 2017. I do really like though how Akito really leverages the AH angle, whereas in the original it felt completely superfluous; Britannia could've been Nazis or Zekes or Space Aliens and it wouldn't have made a difference. |

Also, here's the translation of the spoilers provided by gordol, though honestly the Japanese text was really shorthanded and vague this time, so some of this is rough on my part. Quote:

I've finished my translation of chapter 8 of the Oz photo story! It's a pretty basic plot as usual, though the ending this time is particularly gruesome, even if it's not described in that many words.
