New Code Geass Project Launched

[Used Can]

His twin brother's name is Charles zi Britannia. So, naturally, his last name must be zi Britannia as well, no?

Britannia is like a last name. Zi is a middle name?

Well, I guess you're right. V.V. probably means something an idea/aspect of life, or nothing.

[Used Can]

Personally, I don't think codenames like C.C. or V.V. mean anything. But, all the same, we have no information on why Code bearers go by these codenames. So, we've got nothing to discuss unless we get some information.

Hopefully, this project will shed more info on Geass and its mysteries.

All of the "vi" and "zi" names were used to differentiate between the various family lines. Not exactly middle names.

Who the big man?

EDIT: Well, that's amazing. That means Britannia may not even be a last name.

Maybe not when the Empire was first founded, but it is now.

[ncrushx]

-.- You said the same thing I said.

It is, but considering the chances are it probably isn't.

I wonder why Lelouch calls C.C. even after knowing her real name.

If he did that would ruin the magic of what made C.C., C.C.

That and she herself said he is horrible with pronouncing it.

[ncrushx]

Ok, I think I got it now.

Reifū C.C.=C.C

Hmm... I wouldn't know. He looks far too serious to be this story's Suzaku, but, perhaps, this story will show the side of the lawful guy. Who knows?

I hope this new Geass project will be a new anime series w/ a new story and a new character. But for goodness sake, PLEASE KEEP LELOUCH DEAD.

[Used Can]

This new project is a manga, and it takes place in the Edo era. So, Lelouch wasn't even born back then.

So it's not an anime, then. That's cool.

We don't know, 100%. There's a chance, Sunrise will pull a blind spot on everybody.

Spoiler for This one was over the top even for Sunrise.:

Like having Ali Al-Saachez have half his body disintegrated by Setsuna at the end of season one only to come back via "regeneration." If half your body gets disintegrated I don't think regeneration is going to help bring you back...but hey, this is Sunrise we're talking about.
The most important thing to them is Profit-regeneration!

I wonder if Lelouch got blisters on his hands from the leather driving reins of that cart???

I think Sunrise was hinting at this during the summer...remember this image?

Spoiler for Lulu meets Lassie:

I knew that this picture meant something...as in "something fail this way comes."

We know Sunrise, we should've seen this coming since Lelouch is wearing a crucifix with Jesus on it...yeah, yeah, we know On the third day he rose again from the dead, we get it Sunrise...damn corporate-trolls.

I so do not want to see the fan-war aftermath of R2 repeated.

Spoiler for gundam:

If you look closely to the scene you'd realize that it wasn't Setsuna who destroys Ali's throne Zwei, it is Neil Dylandy AKA Lockon Stratos using the broken GN Arms. Also, the beam only hits the lower torso of Zwei (the cockpit is in the chest). It makes perfect sense that Ali would have some chance of survival. If you wanted to complain then Mwu la Flaga would be the best example as he was clearly brought back out of nowhere for Destiny.

[Kuroshinobu]

Yes, Mwu La Flaga was the pinnacle of Sunrise Resurrection.

[Revolutionist]

I like the idea of a prequel to CG, it's the perfect excuse to show how Britannia came to be and explore the CG universe. Besides, I'm a huge fan of Napoleonic warfare and that's exactly how Britannia would fight during this time, which is awesome. I'd love some Last Samurai-esque anime action.

If they do a direct sequel to R2 the safest bet would be a Les Enfantes Terribles type of project where Lelouch is cloned. He'd have the same looks, and attributes, but be a different person.

Straight pimp, no wonder Lelouch is so popular with the ladies.

This announcement really made my day the other day. New Code Geass. Hope things go well. This new manga sounds pretty interesting and can't wait to get more information regarding it as well as any other work they have planned.

As far as the franchise is concerned, I always thought of Zero as the iconic figure of the series (outside of Lelouch). Obviously it'll be difficult to follow up the awesomeness that was Lelouch with a new character, but I always imagined if they ever did new series, they could always go AU and have a character that utilizes the Zero persona in one way or another.

I also agree that a certain amount of Lelouch's characteristics should in some way be carried over into the new series, whether its the main character or otherwise, as Lelouch really was the show. Without him, we might as well have been watching another gundam

As far as Lelouch showing up in any sequels or anything (if there are any direct sequels), I wouldn't mind as long as it was done tastefully, doesn't mess up the geass continuum, and if he returns in a minor capacity like Touma in Railgun. I think it'd be interesting to see him pop in from time to time for whatever circumstance they come up w/ and do his usual awesomeness and I'm sure lots of fangirls would tune in just to see if Lelouch showed up in each weeks episode. Outside of that, Lelouch can stay dead, as Zero Requiem brought about the desired outcome Lelouch sought, in creating a peaceful world for his loved ones and atoning for his sins.

I also think an ova series is fine too as they can take their time and include whatever they wanted in the story without dealing with as many restrictions as tv anime due to time.

Honestly tho, I'd probably eat up anything code geass as long as its decent and not complete garbage.
