Anyway, rules can be changed with regards to mecha series by way of producing 50 episodes a season that leads to another series as part of a bigger epic. And since there is a Code Geass movie in the works, it's likely to be a retelling of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Just like Neo Genesis Evangelion movies have become: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebuild_of_Evangelion |

Evangelion was even shorter than Geass though at 26 eps and one film. And that was even more popular than Geass, and it still didn't get another series.
Macross Frontier got two retelling films, and it still wasn't as long as Geass. It's just not practical to have them run that long. Especially considering how expensive mech shows are. Also I think the problem was simply to get new viewers caught up, but also to "sell" the show to people again. That is give them the basics, Lelouch's basic introduction ep again, Ashford comedy, Lelouch vs Suzaku, etc. They wanted to attract the new demographic and that was a bit more complicated than showing them a clip show of season 1. |

In my opinion, the only way for Code Geass R3 to happen is for the Zero Requiem to not have occurred in first place. The Zero Requiem was meant to bring and end to Code Geass by killing off Lelouch in order for world peace to occur. That was Nunnally's wish. And dreams do come at a price, which was her brother's life. |

Zero Requiem was what the staff had planned from the start though. It was understood by the staff that Lelouch wouldn't be getting out of the show alive. He was designed to be a classic tragic hero, and those tend to die.
Even if the Black Knight's didn't betray him they would have found some other reason to have ZR. |

That too is part of the tragedy, where good people die, and not so good people end up getting away with it.
Of course I suspect the restructure to have him back with the BK again for awhile made their eventual betrayal of him rather poorly justfied (although they still could have pulled it off right if they made it look like Lelouch was planning to betray them, instead of them doing it because Ougi said so. The evidence was there) Imagine for example the BK opposing him from the start of R2 because he ran out on them in the Black Rebellion and left them all to rot. That would have been at least slightly understandable then them getting over that almost instantly, but then betraying him later for different reasons. Of course back in early R2 despite claiming they forgave him, they made it clear in secret that they'd turn on Zero the instant he wasn't acting in Japan's best interest. And he kind of looked like he wasn't acting in Japan's best interest. So maybe that betrayal didn't totally come out of nowhere. |

Lelouch was at fault to an extent, but the storyline went crazy on the Informed Wrongness. And the end was portrayed as somewhat optimistic instead of tragic. |

And yet there are those who would argue the opposite on most of those counts, including considering Lelouch as an actual villain who either got exactly what he deserved for his most heinous actions or even got off too lightly after all.
Thus the never-ending cycle of R2/ZR talk continues... |

According to the voice actor for Lelouch, in the original setup for Code Geass R2, Lelouch was to have been imprisoned during the first half of the season, which was replaced with Ashford Academy. The revised version had him at Ashford Academy, which was his prison with Velletta watching his every move on the security cam. He did escape every night as planned until the second half of the season where he never returned to Ashford Academy.
By the way, doesn't Britannia feels more like the Roman Empire where they are always plotting to kill the other for power? It certainly doesn't feel like the British Empire. Although they did have their share of killings as well thoughout their history. Makes me wonder how Britannia might have been if the Roman Empire had relocated their capitol to the island nation. |

1. During the meeting between Charles and Marianne, Lelouch's geass symbol appeared in both of his eyes, which are high enough for Lelouch to take the Code of the Geass giver. 2. Since Lelouch never took C.C.'s Code, we must assume that his father slapped his Code unto his son when he grabbed his neck. 3. As we have seen with C.C.'s scar at the base of her heart, this would mean that the Code could only be activated when the heart is pierced with a sharp object. The Geass user dies and awaken once the Code is activated. 4. Suzaku killed Lelouch in the same manner. Nunnally felt his hand and got a flashback of all of his memories. The same thing happened when Lelouch felt C.C.'s hand and got a glimpse of her past memories. All of this could prove that Lelouch is alive as an immortal like C.C. since her wish was for Lelouch to make her happy instead of wanting to die. Personally, I hope that the new Code Geass movies as a remake of Lelouch of the Rebellion with a different ending as an alternate to Zero's Requiem. |
