I just look at the bright side: R2 would have probably been better if they had delayed it a few more months.
Instead of coming out with a sequel less than a year after the last couple of episodes, that extra time could have been used for more story planning and script editing. In short, time is usually something we can afford to spend if the results are worth it. |

Adult Swim is basically Bleach and or re-runs. I'm not really interested until they air Sengoku Basara (October 3rd is what I hear when it'll air in NA. I have to guess Adult Swim will cover it.)

They have a Shikkoku no Renya section, though it's only the first chapter for now, as they seem to be taking a while to scanlate the second one. |

Just have to be patient, when this new project gets off the ground in full motion, this section of the forums will be exploding with activity again.
Right now it's a wasteland though, only active topics are this one and the image thread. I for one am glad that this franchise isn't dead yet (Take a look at the Death Note thread, that corpse has been rotting a long time), so people will return here sooner or later in the future.

Im all for discussion but can we stay on topic, with the release of the new manga please take any manga talk to the Manga Thread so this topic can remain for any news about the series. Thanks.

Yeah well, the manga deserves its own thread as it's pretty much a canon entry in the Code Geass universe. Taniguchi is writing it after all and even though he was not the actual writer of Code Geass he was at least credited with "original story", along with the actual "God" that is... Okouchi Ichiro. Those two guys are the only ones able to speak their mind about anything concerning the series, its story and the related characters and have it be considered to be "Word of God" (true).
The new anime on the other hand... is NON-CANON (and a pathetic attempt at making money off of the original authors' creation if you ask me). It's just an extension, created by the company that owns the rights to produce anything "new" related to the trademark. It's just as canon as a continuation to The Lord of the Rings, written by whoever owns the "rights" to the franchise, would be. That hypothetical someone would be just as eligible to produce a direct sequel, telling the story of how the ship Gandalf and Frodo boarded in the final novel got stranded on a deserted island on which both main characters got to live out an "epic adventure". It's bogus, as far as I'm concerned. Edit: I just realized this post will get me hated by some. Please don't, I don't hate you. =)

Then I assume you would argue that none of the Gundam series set in the Universal Century that weren't directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino are "canon" by your standards? It's a respectable belief on your part but hopefully such declarations don't lead others to confusion. Almost all anime is obviously made with a commercial intent in mind, but that doesn't necessarily say anything about canonicity as a matter of continuity as opposed to personal preference.
In addition to the above, keep in mind that apparently Taniguchi doesn't have a problem with the creation of a new anime and, in fact, seems to have influenced the actual decision to make it an "expasion" as opposed to a direct sequel, at least going by his statements on the official website. Okouchi also said, back in older interviews, that the world of Code Geass wasn't closed off. Of course, all of us have our own opinions and can throw speculations around about this or that in the meanwhile. |
