Code Geass: 2010 Project

[Shinn Kamiyra]

As it has been hinted and suggested through much of this past year, it has just been announced that there will be a continuation of Code Geass come 2010. Thoughts and opinions everyone?

well i guess it would be possible. but i always figured that it would have something to do with lelouch not dying. i mean theirs a giant plothole thats asking to be filled at the end of R2.

"Sunrise did not indicate the format that any hypothetical future plans might take."

It's just going to be more milking of the cash-cow. At this point, anything that comes from the CG universe is, no matter how canon, just Sunrise trying to squeeze money out of their prior success while the industry is in drastic decline.

It would also kill off the idea which R2 ended on. That being Lelouch's death signified lasting world peace. If Lelouch is alive then the symbolism doesn't work, and the ending of R2 is moot. If they continue with a new "Zero" and Lelouch is dead then they are contradicting the "lasting world peace" that was established.

Either way, they've got themselves a plothole.

[Sr Machinehead]

yeah but they can do something like say suzaku gives up his position and the peace ends. so lelouch takes back the position trying not to be seen or something along those lines.

The directors confirmed many, many times in interviews after R2 that Lelouch is, in fact, dead.

[Sr Machinehead]

well then lets just say some other person who is trying to fill the very large shoes of zero. i mean ive seen crazier stuff happen in anime. or it could just be a reboot or at the very worst a adaption of the manga. you know the one.

[Ramirez]

That would be insulting... There is enough ongoing animes as is. And if the series did do that, it would slowly lose popularity as mediocre. Code Geass should never be considered Mediocre.

I wouldn't mind a OVA as much as would if they made a series all together. They wrapped it up nicely, in my opinion. Though there was that plothole. (Maybe they tried viewers to think about it, not trying to make a plothole, but it ended up as that, IMO).

I think it would just create baggage and inflexible character builds if they decided to re-use characters. New characters would "Kill the Feel", Which I hate.

I'm hoping it doesn't happen. I'm just content with Martyrs, not continuious strains of a virus' called 'franchise'

[Sr Machinehead]

well im not saying its a good idea which its not. but just which route the story would take if this project does happen. i mean what could they actually add theirs only some things not answered and i like the way that they still killed off lelouch. and lets just say that maybe they make a movie what would it be about?

[Diocletian]

I absolutely hate Sunrise. All they care about is money and not making a good product. I think with this they went below Gonzo. At least Gonzo knows when to stop an anime. Good luck getting me to buy Gundam Unicorn, since there's probably going to be 4 movies summarizing the damn anime.

[Sr Machinehead]

well they are a company but i just want to see how they pull this out of its grave. i mean what plothole are they gonna use? code geass just isnt code geass without lelouch.

[Rolo Vi Britannia]

God, don't let it be true!!!!

[Negi]

I personally hope that it doesn't continue.
It ended perfectly.

Amen! You said what I thought.
Nice quote on your sig BTW.

[Sr Machinehead]

well i do agree that it was a great ending and should stay that way. i also think that no show like this should ever go past two seasons/series. it just starts to get old just imagine if this show got anywhere near the the amount of series of gundam, macross, or any other mecha series.

[Rolo Vi Britannia]

yeah but they can do something like say suzaku gives up his position and the peace ends. so lelouch takes back the position trying not to be seen or something along those lines.

Yeah, but that would be boring. I loved the school parts in CG, otherwise it would be just like all the other military shows....

[Sr Machinehead]

well if they continue it just might become another one of those military shows. sure it wont be good but these shows are not made to last a lot of seasons anyways.

[Viral_]

I can not wait!
Anyway, I can't figure that Lelouch is alive. I mean...it's more likely a prequel or a sequel without lelouch.

[The Rebel]

I just want to know who was in the back of the cart C2 was driving in the end of R2?????

There was no one in the back. There was a random guy driving it, and CC laying on top of the stack of hay in the cart.

[OtakuInu!!!]

Maybe it's about Suzaku being Zero. I'm not sure. I don't wanna read the article.

No worries. Spoilers aside, I can assure you that the new project doesn't have anything to do with Lelouch or Suzaku. As a matter of fact, the project itself is set in an entirely different time period.

[Sr Machinehead]

ugh that just helps my idea. at this rate well end up with another g gundam. something that was only connected to the source through the name gundam. what made code geass a good anime for me was that they carefully set up the events so that they actually ended the series while they were ahead with a good closing.

I doubt this is accurate. At least link me to where to got that information.

[Shinn Kamiyra]

Certainly. My apologies for not giving it to you earlier.

Code Geass Project

Also, I need to make a small adjustment to what I said earlier. According to the information that this link provides, I still stand by what I said in that I don't think this new project has anything to do with Lelouch or Suzaku directly; however, it's possible that they'll play an indirect role so to speak. You'll probably see what I mean. In any case, the specifics haven't yet been released; so it's probably too soon to tell.

[Gjallarhorn]

The story takes place in the same official Code Geass history as the anime, but in a different era. The title character, Renya, is a 17-year-old boy with a mechanical left arm and shuriken throwing stars as his weapons of choice. The story begins when Renya encounters a mysterious, perpetually young witch named "Reifū C.C." C.C. has appeared in Japan's historical Edo era to seek a new partner for a covenant.

This is going to suck hard.
