Well, it's certainly not the first time a Sunrise character's death has been retconned so he can come back. And Lelouch is far more popular than Mwu. They plain reanimated his scene in the special so they could bring him back.

Interesting. Since they are making compilation movies with new changes, in way they are indirectly remaking the Code Geass story from the ground up before the sequel is made.
This could turn out poor, mediocre or good, but only future information will be able to confirm exactly what they are planning to do with this concept. Beyond making money, naturally. You could say my interest in the sequel will depend on whether or not these changes are an improvement over the original broadcast version in a way that works out. That is a possibility. I can only imagine most people would prefer that to the "cart driver theory" after all. It would be less controversial, at least on paper. Last edited by Xander; 2016-11-27 at 07:08. |

Oh, but one thing I am looking forward to with a post-Zero Requiem world? Nunna-chan with her blue eyes.

1. Code Geass already has two older compilations of the TV series with no changes. See Special Editions Black Rebellion and Zero Requiem. 2. They will be showing these compilations before the sequel is available. Meaning, they want the fans to check out the new scenes. The only reason why they would make a different set of compilation movies would be if they want to make more important changes in order to set up the sequel in a way that wasn't possible with the TV series as it stands today. That allows fans to either stick with the TV series or, if possible, accept the "retelling" from the recaps and the sequel following from them. |

I'm okay with Lelouch being brought back, but he damn well better be revived as the title suggests as opposed to simply 'surviving' ZR. The idiotic cart driver babble was put down years ago. Not only did that theory not make any sense plot wise and cheapen ZR even more, but the creators specifically spoke out against it.

What a pleasant surprise. Well, can't say I wasn't expecting this in the first place. With the attention the 10th anniversary was getting, Sunrise was basically screaming at us "hey, we're gonna do a new [anime] project".
I put [anime] in brackets because I wasn't sure if it'd actually be an anime or not. I was half expecting an Akito pachinko. I'm just glad the big announcement turned out to be an anime project and not a pachinko machine... Also, I'm quite fine with Lelouch being alive, after all, I was one of those guys who absolutely refused to believe that he was dead. So when I saw the post confirming that he'll be protagonist on the new project, I actually fist pumped. lol As for my thoughts on the new compilation movies, so long as it's presented in a consistent and non-contradictory manner, I'll be fine with that as well. Tbh, I don't care that much about how Lelouch's survival/revival is handled. So long as it's believable and doesn't alter the original story to a noticeable degree, I'm fine with that. There have been far worse survivals that were glossed over or forgotten about altogether before. I mean, Look at Guilford and Nunnally's survival in R2 after FLEIJA hit the settlement. Nunnally's survival is more believable because it happened off-screen, so we don't actually know how they pulled it off and it was simply written off as Schneizel beating them to the punch (cop out much?). But how the hell did Guilford survive it? He literally fell back into the explosion ffs.

I cannot say this surprises me in the least.
Here is the animelist article on it. Quote:
https://myanimelist.net/news/48730830 I do not see Okouchi's name anywhere in this, so I wonder if this is Taniguchi's version/vision of Code Geass. I always have wondered about what Taniguichi meant when he told NewType about the ending being what you make of it or you decide (or something to that effect).
