Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection

[Brother Coa]

I also saw many people arguing how Zero Requiem was 'stupid' because it woudl not solve anything in the long run.

I wonder how exactly when Britannia pretty much rule the world and has the strongest military force. The only difference is that Lelouch changed the country from the founding stones, reforming it to some degree. And with Nunally at the head there will be no oppressive Britannia.
EU is a shadow of what it once was and Chinese Federation is non-existent. And the UFN is an peaceful alliance. So I don't see why that peace would not last more than few years if world turned from expanding military conquests to solving all issues with economic power.

The way I see it Lelouch will be brought back becasue of some 3'rd power interfering with his plan to keep that world stable and peaceful. Maybe some new Geass sect that will gain political power? Or aliens?... It's really hard to come up with some threat when it was clear at the end of season 2 that pretty much everything in the world that could bw seen as a threat was destroyed.

Whatever the explanation I really hope it will not ruin the ending of season 2.

Is Okouchi back for the writing? This his last chance for redemption from me after Valvrave (and Guilty Crown)...

Anyway, lelouch is back! I am in a dire need of some good mech anime and Code Geass definitely won't disappoint me in that regard.

I guess I should watch the series so I can hop on this hype train

[JagdPanther]

Will there be more Villetta? If yes, I'll watch. If no, see ya.

[AB079]

Everyone talking about watching more of the girls, but nobody cares about our lord Spinzaku.

[BPD Renegade]

Whaaaaat? Why?

I'm assuming the big secret about how the "utopia" came about is going to get spilled or will be in the process of getting spilled. Hence Lelouch crawling out of whatever hole he's been in to fix it. Although, the resurrection/revival in the title makes it seem like he actually is dead and someone's going to be bringing him back to life.

OMG, how have I not hear of this sooner. One of my favorite animes is coming back? OMG. OMFG!

*mind explodes

ALL HAIL LELOUCH!

[dark44]

Also, they DID try to make a spin off of Code Geass. The problem was very few people cared.

Hopefully they will take setting in over than 5 decades.
That would make sense for Lelouch return.

That because they didn't made spin off on alternate universe
The reason why Universal Century Gundam could squeezed off until Unicorn because Original Gundam has open ending for upcoming sequel left people for excitement for unresolved tales of Amuro and Char.
Mainstream Code geass has Lelouch as the face, would be a big challenge for Sunrise to milk those.
I for the one were among people who did not watched Akito because i seen Akito nothing more than a dry squeeze by Sunrise.

because Suzaku is one of those characters who has done very little truly right.

He's a bandwagon jumper in the worst possible way and frankly he's a hypocrit. Sure there's some pity for him for the way things worked out with Euphy but that pity was short lived when he pulled the stunt with Nunally

According to people who have seen the PV for the new anime, Suzaku, Jeremiah, Cornelia and a few other characters are present in said PV. So, the 5 decade thing is squashed already. The question is whether they were visibly older or not. The summaries I've seen for the PV aren't clear with regards to that.

For argument's sake, I expect the time skip to be anywhere between 3-10 yrs, until we get the specified number of years for the time skip that is.

Tbh, Akito wasn't all bad. It had a pretty decent start and followup, things started going south from the third OVA imo... And well, the fourth and fifth OVAs were the final nail in the coffin.

Spoiler for Akito spoiler:

When you see the character motivations for Shinn (main antagonist), you really facepalm hard. I felt dumb for thinking that this dude had some kinda deep psychological scars that resulted in his obsession with death, but then the reasons are revealed and I'm like, "naw, fuck this shit! -_-"

There are also a few other things like very visible loose ends that were never resolved and completely forgotten and they really stick out like a sore thumb, so they can't be glossed over and ignored. eg. why introduce a new [immortal?] character if she'd have no role whatsoever in the OVA apart from having a couple conversations with General Smilas (another antagonist)?

We can't really blame Suzaku for ending up the way he did. They had to abandon the original script for R2, only managing to keep some of the content they intended and rewrite everything else, resulting in that rushed mess of a second season.

Spoiler for Space:

Among other things, the subplots involving Cecile's relationship with Suzaku and Suzaku's connection to Geass (ie why he went catatonic at Kaminejima when the elevator thing activated) were basically dropped, and Rolo was added in.

One should note that this is far from the first time that a show's direction has been influenced by executive meddling, hell, Geass R1 had a lot changed because it was originally slated for a prime time slot and moved to late night, and probably wouldn't have been as good as it wound up being if it weren't for that.

If you’re one of those people, well you’re right. Code Geass R2 actually went horribly wrong according to an interview Celiss Galvea did with Taniguchi (The Director of Code Geass and Code Geass R2).

In fact, things went horribly wrong as far back as Season 1. You know it sorta irks me that the already AWESOME anime could’ve been 10 times better. Some of the stuff that Taniguchi mentions would’ve ROCKED.

Unfortunately, the links to the original interview itself are all dead. Can't seem to find a working one. But I have read the article for the interview some years back. 2012 to be exact and it's a shame really. If they had followed through with their original vision, CG would've really been that much better. T_T

[Malicre]

Really didn't want a season 3. Code Geass had the PERFECT ending. He died in order to give the world peace but now this happens? ugh......

ill still watch it but i won't be happy about it.

[FlareKnight]

I do hope it is at least 10 years after. Not...like one year. While I do think the show was probably better off staying done, they could do some interesting things with it.

Suppose it couldn't hurt to go for a more...positive conclusion for the main duo. Or it could be a season that utterly makes sure that Lelouch and Suzaku go down in a big explosion .

Could work out.

Make Schneizel snaps out of his geass and takes over the empire?

This video explain that idea in detail, there is indeed a hint of aliens in Code Geass lore.

I seem to recall a fanfiction written by a madman who followed that vein of thought and created such a story.

If you guys wanted to know where Lelouch was hanging out in-between the end of the first series and this 'ressurection' series...he was going out to Pizza Hut with some...acquaintances...
y'know, discussing multiple love interests and other weird things teenage boys do over Pizza Hut...
