Am I dreaming? Some of those characters...they look older than 16 years old! Could it be we'll have some adults in the main cast?
Seriously, I kinda like the character design. I know some people will complain about the "yaoi" vibe they get from it but a- just don't look at fanarts/fanfics and b- don't worry, even ugly/manly characters can be yaoi fodder so it would happen anyway.
ps: I love Code Geass character design
And I really hope there won't be a Code Geass vs Gundam 00 trend...
