I donīt know how to explain it... In Gundam they have many themes to talk about, thatīs why they can make many series with it like the idea of Gundam have many thinks to exploit... But de idea of Code is a bit more specific and harder to exploit without failing... but I guess the fact that the ones with a code are inmortal gives space for more... who knows... Hope I explained myself.. |

I can see Geass going the way of Evangelion in terms of possible long-term franchisement. Lots of supplementals to the main storyline, 20,000,000 different AU manga, tons of fanservicy games/merchandise and things of that nature. And of course, an ending ova/movie to cap the series ^^.

I do believe that CG has the potential to be the next Gundam, if everything comes together just right. Like Kusaja said above, CG's success could be partially situational, but then, most things that eventually become huge successes were only able to get that far due to early success that is almost always situational in some way, shape or form. It's just whether it has the potential to keep that success going over multiple incarnations. CG has several things that can be incorporated into other interesting stories: Most notably are the KMFs, but there is also Geass itself, which could be explored much more. Also, since Code Bearers are immortal, you could conceivibly always have a few characters bridge series by being the Code Bearers for the next. If several shows were set in the same universe, it would give a sense of continuity.
But, this is all mere speculation about potential. It doesn't mean that CG will fulfill it's potential.

Code Geass is selling well. But the original Gundam, from what I understand, was successful on a completely different level, commercially as well as culturally. Not at first, but shortly afterwards, through toy sales, re-runs and eventually the movie compilations. Even after Gundam, I'm sure Sunrise and Bandai have had other commercial successes, but how many of them are true franchises that stand the test of time, and for how long? There is also a big difference in that Gundam was revolutionary, one of the first of its kind in many ways, while Code Geass is evolutionary, re-using or re-interpreting already established concepts. |

Everything Code Geass related are doing very well and it could spark another series. However, Lelouch's character is the reason why Code Geass did very well because everyone could relate to him. I can't see Code Geass going the way of Yu-gi-oh G/X, where they replaced Yugi with another character. At least, Pokemon kept the same characters(Ash and Pikachu) since the beginning. I expect the same with Lelouch, if they decide to bring back Code Geass. The original title was to have been, Lelouch of the Rebellion instead of Code Geass. |

Gundam X, Zeta Gundam, Gundam ZZ, Gundam Wing, all present them as starting as a small group that is good. MSG, its spinoffs, and CCA, all have you fighting on the same side all the way through. G Gundam is about the colonies holding a fighting contest for the right to rule the Solar System. While it turns out that the person bossing around you is an evil ass no one switches sides. |
