OP updated with all new scans by Scanbro and the official subs for OVA 5
>>14178689
haven't been in code geass for a while. What is this knightmare and did Colors ever get translated?
>>14178810
Its the final upgrade of one of the OZ manga protagonist KMFs: Gouka Byakuen
Lost Colors was only partially translated
>>14178705
Still no BD video rip?
>>14178822
Looks pretty cool. REminds me of the lancelot club. Also, still? Jesus.
>>14178828
nope, should appear in arearaw or nyaa soon
Eternal Dreamer won't finish the Lost Colors translation project, all he did is here: http://code-geass-lost-colors-translation.yolasite.com/
>>14178836
If you find it first, post it here. I've been holding off on watching the subtitled version until the BD is out.
>>14178938
me too, it has been available on share since the 23
someone just needs to download it from there and upload to more accessible place
any pics or info about the picture drama that came with the BD of the ova?
>>14179839
I would like to know it too.
almost a month since the wikia admin disappeared, I could have updated the KMF pages months ago
blame him
>>14181226
What about Bahamut?
>>14181317
he can't give me admin status nor can he code so he can't do anything about this
OVA 5 BD Rip is up on arearaw

>>14185188
So it's mostly making Ashley a part of the team. I guess it makes sense, given he interacted so little with them beforehand.
now we wait for BDbro to scan the final booklet
>>14185188
So what, Ashley has a thing for Ayano now?
finally watched the BD rip
Ryo's Valiant pulls a slash harken out of nowhere, unless it was stored somewhere I didn't catch
>>14184383
What exactly are we seeing here?
>>14186640
Nonnete deflecting the Grail's harkens
>>14186651
I wanted to say it was the Club but I was wondering if it was meant to be the Core Lancelot vs the High Grail or something from the final chapter.
>>14186686
I will post O2 manga vol 5 pics as soon as the site I know uploads them when it releases later this month.
hopefully they will show the Palomides and Leefung
>>14186617
Is it up on nyaa yet with the subs in?
>>14186901
manually downloaded from here

>>14189469
I don't like it.
>>14189469
I prefer this to the standard Sutherland Sieg.
>>14185188
Another PD that will be translated FUCKING NEVER
>>14192525
fuck you too, shitposter-kun
Is there anything they redid or touched up for the BD version of Akito 5?
>>14194575
You know I'm right.
I've tried to explore ways of getting it translated but no-one is interested.
>>14185231
Not until the end of the month or around that time, I fear.
>>14201423
no problem, I've already seen the KMF pages though I hear there are explanations for some plotholes in the other pages
Is the BD on nyaa yet?
Anyone know how to make these subs fit the raw?
I'm using CCCP
>>14203541
Screenshot? I have no idea what you're talking about
>>14203570
The subs for Akito 5 are slower than the video
Pic related, blue haired guy finished speaking ages ago but the subs are still there
>>14203579
Have you tried google?
>>14203587
Yes, delaying interval by 2000ms doesn't seem to do anything
>>14203592
On mpv I had to wait a few seconds after seeking for the sub to realign itself, don't know if this also happens with mpc. You are changing the delay in the player right? Not the lav filters?
>>14203608
It's not an issue with seeking through the file, it's just wrong for the entire time. And yes I'm delaying it by 2000ms in view>options>subtitles
>>14203642
Sorry, I can't remember enough about mpc to help.
>>14203642
>>14203656
Hang on, if you're saying the subs are slower just don't delay them then or use negative values
>>14203658
The default delay was 500ms, which was slower, changing then to 2000ms did nothing. And unfortunately I can't put a negative value in
>>14203661
>And unfortunately I can't put a negative value in
What? I definitely remember being able to put in negative values. Why is the default 500ms? It should be 0.
>>14203664
These are definitely the default settings, I even reset them
When trying to put a - in it says
>Unacceptable Character
>>14203683
Those subs in >>14203579 are correct. I have the same problem that the subs gets stuck on the screen from time to time after seeking.
I'd put a torrent up for OVA 5 BD but:
-I lost the files
-my upload speed is 100kbps
Just download it from arearaw like I did, there are ways to bypass the free limits from DL hosts
>>14199202
Oh muh waifu
Bumpn
will the Geass franchise die after the compiled vols release this month?
>>14211750
No.
It's only a matter of time until they announce a new Code Geass anime of some sort.
They will still keep making more merchandise in the meanwhile, such as the second pachislot game.
>>14211838
how can you be so sure about a new anime, does your dad work for Sunrise?
>>14211965
It's not a fact, but a reasonable assumption.
>>14212775
there's no basis for any speculation, lots of Sunrise stuff went thru anniversaries recently and got jack shit.
What happened to OZ O2 should be an indication of how the franchise is really dead
>>14212790
Not when Akito sold as well as it did
>>14212836
Akito sold well?
How
>>14212845
the BDs did well and supposedly it also sold many movie tickets and that's it.
no plamo, no RDs, mooks were compressed into one final one, etc
Akito wasn't enough to hold OZ so O2 was discontinued
>>14212790
I understand your point, but OZ/O2 was never intended to be the main attraction. It was supposed to be the manga "companion" to Akito, so to speak. It can't be directly compared to any of the animated works since they didn't invest as much.

qcing OZ chapter 3
Commission anon here. Been a while since I gave an update.
I've had personal reasons taking the majority of my excess funds for some time. I've had to put my money towards more pressing responsibilities for now.
I will resume at some point looking for a commission, but for now, I can't put my money towards the manga translation. Probably won't be able to until at least June.
>>14218009
Thanks anon.
That's fine, I hope you'll take care of things in due time.
Though, all things considered, just as a suggestion: perhaps it would make more sense to see if the previous translator is already back from his break, by the time you're able to resume things on your side. If not replacement has been found and we're going to be waiting a couple of months anyway (more or less).
>>14217825
Interesting, thanks for the notice.

So I was on the wikia when I read this on the Tristan page:
>"In the manga spin-off Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally, Anya Alstreim uses a modified version of the Tristan. It is similar in appearance to the regular Tristan except for the Geass sigil on the Knightmare's face. It makes its first appearance in chapter 18 to fight the Lancelot. Its main difference to the original Tristan is its weaponry, being six Automated Trajectory Variable Type MVS Slash Harkens."
Are there any other instances in NoN of canon Knightmares having been modified? Also any scans of or anyone know anywhere I could obtain NoN to scan?
>>14228633
Only the Tristan is radically different
>>14228684
Cool. Any other new KMF besides Mark Nemo?
>>14228633
NoN has been scanlated

What the hell was Akito 5?
>>14229536
the culmination of a very badly written/directed work
OVA 4 was far worse since it was superfluous to the story
>>14229601
What was Leila's Geass, even?
How did Ashley get to his comrades at the end?
>>14230142
-Leila's unused Geass became something called Fragment of Geass that could cause mind communication
-The Administrator teleported Ashely to where Smilas was to kill him, his friends were there by chance
>>14230153
>Leila's unused Geass became something called Fragment of Geass that could cause mind communication
Is that it?
WHY DID IT NEED TO BE SUCH A SNOWFLAKE THEN
>>14230153
Did the Administrator rewind time after everyone in the room was killed too or was that just a vision that didn't come true or something else?
>>14230171
blame the director/writer and Sunrise for giving them so much freedom with the franchise
>>14230153
>-The Administrator teleported Ashely to where Smilas was to kill him, his friends were there by chance
I think its more that she was able to transport Ashley there because his men were there.
>>14230204
The witch showed an alternate reality to Leila, it's confirmed NOT to be a time rewind
>>14230206
Nope, at least this wasn't said in any interview I've seen
>>14230212
Watching the Akito finale felt like Akane wanted to be directing more Escaflowne or Noein instead and just used concepts from those shows that don't fit in Code Geass. That or he's a one trick pony.
>>14230227
I still don't understand how Sunrise let him add so much nonsense in Akito:
-Euro Britannia
-Getting Geass from killing someone
-Space-time Administrator
-A new Geass form in Leila's
-The castle siege
-etc
The OZ photonovel was the more grounded gaiden so far, the manga was ridiculous though
>>14230212
If that's the case, I wonder if they would have an alternate version of Lelouch which had seen his events from R2 and moments of his time as Julius Kingsly in the Akito ova's
>>14230265
The Julius stuff was BS too, if he at least had commanded the Euro Britannia Army in a huge battle his existence would have a purpose, but nope he just stayed in retard mode in prison for OVAs 4 and 5...
Akane is a hack
>>14230272
God that pisses me off.
WHY BRING HIM IN IF HE'S NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING
>>14230317
A huge army battle between EB under Julius VS Smilas would solve all these problems:
-Decimate both EB and EU armies with a good reason
-Make Julius relevant and show Suzaku arning his moniker
-Panzer Hummel and land battleship action
-Custom KMFs for Farnese, Gaudefroy and Raymond. If they survived the battle Suzaku could kill them in a good action scene
-Show the Lancelot Air Cavalry in 3D glory
-No time for Ashley to turncoat, he and his lackey would die here
-Akito VS Shin earlier
-No dumb Ark plot
-No dumb castle siege
-Ahuramazda and Canterbury would be more effective here
-etc
>>14230346
>-No time for Ashley to turncoat, he and his lackey would die here
Terrible idea
Ashley is one of the best characters
>>14230443
for you
>>14230171
Because Leila's Geass contrasts with Shin's Geass. I thought that was obvious.
>>14230272
I don't agree. Akane might the right, though unpopular, call. Julius showing up in a limited role was enough. Making him take control of Euro Britannia for real would feel too much like a repeat of the old show and leave even less time for everything else.
>>14230317
Because it's simply intended to show how Suzuku felt towards Lelouch during this period. That's the only purpose other than obviously making a cameo. Which is valid. Not every old character needs to be SUPER IMPORTANT ALL THE TIME.
>>14229536
>Akito 5
The conclusion to the story of Akito. It's a really straightforward one. There's some magical stuff that will divide folks, but that happened in the original show too (Ragnarok and such), and the end result wasn't hard to imagine either, if you had a good memory of what happened in 3 and 4.
>>14230227
Given that I liked both Escaflowne and Noein as well as Code Geass none of those concepts bothered me. I think they can still fit within the universe, but could have used more explanations.
>>14230238
Code Geass isn't known for being particularly grounded by default, so there has to be room in the property for those kinds of things, otherwise you're just making a Gundam.
>>14230238
And again, I like Euro Britannia. The concept makes perfect sense to me. The Space Time administration was more surprising at first, but in retrospect it also works out pretty well. The castle siege was a good battle sequence, so I don't see why you'd complain. Geass powers are always going to be difficult, since some people don't want any new ones yet the series has already established that they could vary a lot from person to person.
>>14230346
You'd need 6 OVAs instead of 5, or otherwise make an almost double length one like Unicorn did.
>>14230346
Suzaku and his moniker is weird, because technically he's already been given two. The first picture drama of R2 has him receiving the name "Oni" if I recall correctly, and in Akito they give White Devil instead of White Death. You could argue that's enough.
>>14230171
To be honest, all Geass abilities are meant to be "special snowflakes" by definition, since supposedly they reflect the desires/goals of each individual. Occasionally they repeat, but more often than not, they don't. I'd say Leila's Geass is appropriate for her way of thinking.

>>14232300
>series introduces the collective consciousness as an element
>Lulu's geass works on it as it should
Smilas knowing and fooling said collective consciousness' avatar is still way more retarded
Akito sucked, you just have to accept it.
>>14232187
I like Noein, and Escaflowne even more, but it felt like he was trying to shoehorn these concepts from his playbook in a setting that's not his.
>>14232340
If she was omnipotent, she wouldn't have needed help in the first place. Nothing indicated that she was omniscient. If she was, she wouldn't have needed to observe Leila to change her mind about Geass.
>>14232178
He wrote himself in a corner by requesting to use Lelouch in Akito when it should have been Schneizel(who is the better military strategist anyway). The moment Julius arrived by train he was already the more charismatic character in the show. He should have just commanded the EB army and cripple the EU enough so Scheneizel could take over operations later. If Akane made boring characters then it's his fault.
>>14232194
I obviously meant grounded to the TV series, they gave Akane too much liberty
>>14232202
EB is a retcon, plain and simple. It doesn't fit the established world of the TV series at all.
>>14232208
Nope, this huge battle would have replaced the Ark and siege stuff not to mention skip the short lived coups in EB and EU.
>>14232215
I'd prefer showing Suzaku decimating EU armies in glorious CG than Home Alone Weiswolf Edition. I believe the majority EU military budget went into the castle and the rockets.
>>14232340
>series introduces the collective consciousness as an element
>Lulu's geass works on it as it should
Why?
>Smilas knowing and fooling said collective consciousness' avatar is still way more retarded
Also why?
>>14232428
why not?
>>14232347
What the fuck are you talking about? Taniguichi gave him free reign to do whatever he wanted in the setting while he was off writing shit nobody asked or wanted in Renya. To say that any of these things don't fit in Code Geass is fucking laughable and I will continue to remind people of the shitfest which was R2 and Renya until you can come up with a better argument.
>>14232441
who the hell thinks R2 and Renya are good?
I'm starting to believe R1 was a fluke
>>14232450
I like R2.
Renya is a mess though.
Updates:
-Will finish qcing OZ chapter 3 tomorrow(wall of text), this one is the Dasko debut. I really like this chapter
-OVA 5 BD rip already with lots of seeds, if not for me people would still be waiting for it
-Covers for O2 vol 2 and O2 vol5 should appear this Monday
-Nothing on the wikia front, I guess Bahamut will have to adopt it so he can make me an admin
>>14232479
Speaking of manga, what ever happened to the anon who was going to get the online manga copies and upload them?
>>14232517
he said he would eventually do the O2 ones, but with the scanlation on a hold I guess there's no incentive for him now. Also they cost some money and he might be able to afford them now
>>14232300
If anything, Turn 21 was more convoluted than Akito 5, which doesn't spell everything out but can be understood with some perspective and calm.
>>14232340
Actually, Lelouch didn't really order the collective consciousness. He made a request. The sigil of Geass appeared on Jupiter, but it's different from how the eyes of a Geass target/victim look.
>>14232347
If you hire a new director and give him creative freedom, it's entirely expected that he would go back to concepts and ideas he enjoys working with. Otherwise, might as well not hire Akane for Akito and get someone else instead.
>>14232359
I think it's more about having a great power and preferring to be observer, rather than true omniscience or complete omnipotence, given neither Akito nor the original Geass series implied the collective was constantly intervening
>>14232403
Can't disagree with that first statement, since seeing Schneizel could have made things a lot more simple. I don't think the characters are necessarily "boring" just because they're not extremely charismatic though.
The TV series had some rather crazy contents that aren't too far from whatever over-the-top elements are found in both Akito and, for that matter, either version of Oz
Yes, but it's an interesting retcon for a region of the world that was totally ignored before. All things considered, I am very glad that they came up with EB.
I don't think it clashes with the TV series, since we only had a very small and narrow look into Britannia, through a small number of Royals and the Japanese occupation forces, but learned absolutely nothing about 90% of the rest of their territory, noble class and population.
Alright, I think I can understand your proposed huge battle idea now. If it's really a full replacement for that all, maybe you could barely pull it off.
>>14232441
>>14232450
Renya's big problem is that it's just the Code Geass equivalent of a Naruto or Bleach style of "positive shounen fighting story" and thus extremely far removed from everything else in the property or what people would expect from it. I didn't find that sort of approach to be interesting either, but I don't think it's all that terrible. Just mostly generic and forgettable as a result.
R2 was a mess with both good and bad, but it does feel like an extrapolation of S1, for better and for worse.
>>14232479
Thanks for the information.
>>14232526
It's only worth worrying about most of the O2 volume scans when the translation project resumes.
But if there is something interesting in the epilogue for Vol. 5, it would be nice to have a summary at least.
>>14232617
I will be monitoring 2ch for info from the vol 5 epilogue or any new stuff in the novel vol 2.
and we're getting pics of vol 5 as soon as it releases so we will know how Leefung and Palomides look like.
I don't really know how to feel about the ending to Akito and Akito in general.
If I had to rank the episodes it would be 2 > 1 > 3 > 4 > 5
It really seems like my enjoyment of the show pitched steadily down with each new episode. Which is a shame, because the characters (at least their iterations in earlier episodes), knightmares and world in general is great. Actual Europe going head to head with fake Europe Britannia is a very fun premise, much moreso than China in the original series. Thank fuck we didn't see India.
What I think made me lose enjoyment as it went is that the show became progressively more 'safe'. Like in Episode 1 Leila is a fucking badass that singlehandedly pushes the racist commander's shit in. She showed real power and ruthlessness which was cool and reminded me somewhat of Lelouch. And then we go all the way to OVA5 and we find our her Geass is something along the line of 'the power of friendship and love'. I was like 'what the fuck?'.
To me Geass has always been something that has had some practical effect that's useful in battle. I acknowledge that her Geass is blue, not red like the others but I at least thought it'd be something cool like read an opponents movements or give her a quick glimpse into the future. But nope, the show refuses to make her a fighter and gives her a friendship Geass. It's a real shame that they changed from the cute girl/badass strategist dynamic to just cute girl.
But I think I was setting myself up for disappointment though. When I first saw pic related I though, holy shit are we going back to Episode 1 Leila? She's got a sword, torn clothes, a cut on her leg and her geass in full view. She looks like she's about to do a serious smackdown on her enemy. And then in the actual episode she just sits in the command center for most of the time and wanders over to Akito perfectly clean and happy save for a missing head bun thing. It was false advertising and I absolutely fucking fell for it.
>>14234414
And this screenshot too, which by the way did not appear anywhere in OVA 5.
Just look at this. She's out in the cold snow and looks like she's kept walking our of sheer determination. Again, her clothes are torn, she's holding Akito's braid, there's no emotion on her face and her geass is on full blast. You can just tell she's about to absolutely wreck someone's shit.
>>14234427
And compare it to her in the actual episode. She looks like she's about to cry and boohoo only has her hair slightly ruffled.
Even now during the closing minutes she's not controlling her Geass, unlike the aforementioned screenshot and poster. It's just doing it automatically and really cheapens the whole thing. Again, a great shame. It seems no-one in Akito is really in control of their geass.
>>14234414
>She showed real power and ruthlessness
What, through smack-talking a superior officer that had no right to be in the position he was but was there anyway because the Japs can't escape the desire to portray themselves as oppressed and putting someone in an arm lock?
>>14232558
>>14232441
>>14232300
Ironically a lot of complaints about the first half not being "Code Geassy" enough and the more it went on to be more like Geass people started to trash it, then you have Oz and Renya just flat out being ignored when theyre everything Geass is about moreso than Akito. Bottomline I don't think people are all that interested in the lore or the compounds of the setting much and just wanted another story with Lelouch in it, I guess Code Geass has suffered what led to the end of the CE era with Stargazer and now everything is stuck in an eternal loop between R1 and R2 since nobody cares about Geass origins or a story outside Lelouch of the Rebellion (though given Akito's success it may just be that audiences didn't take to the story and characters in Renya and Oz) so unless we're getting a reboot or the currently rumored AU feature its best to put an end to this franchise as it is now.
>>14234444
>an arm lock
One that was prefaced by staring down a man who was on the brink of murdering her who had a handgun pointed at her temple and then putting him on the ground with cold precision. She did the same thing with Ayano. Sword or gun, she wasn't afraid at all to risk her life to dispatch her opponents. And after both of these events she moved onto her next task (disarming the Alexander bombs and forcing the 3 to surrender) without a break in her stride.
Compare that to her in the command center in 5. There, you can hear the hesitation in her voice to fire on the Britannians. A complete flip in character.
>>14234463
>temple
The forehead is not where the temples reside.
>Compare that to her in the command center in 5. There, you can hear the hesitation in her voice to fire on the Britannians. A complete flip in character.
Yeah, I imagine you'd be a touch hesitant now that your comfortable little fortress is being assaulted directly, wouldn't you?
She's a godawful fighter anyway, as episode 2 and onwards displayed, by having her be little more than dead weight every time she got into a KMF, which is why she stopped doing it.
>>14234480
>Forehead
My mistake, you are correct.
I don't get your point about her being hesitant now that the Castle was under attack. The fastest way to prevent more damage to said Castle is to attack immediately and meaningfully, not hesitate.
And when I said I wanted to see her as a fighter it was possibly a bit poorly worded. It's been established she's awful with KMFs. That's a perfectly fine decision that they made to portray her that way. What I wanted to see was her transferring that confidence she had in hand-to-hand to her command over W-ZERO, which really slipped in later episodes with her getting distressed and hesitant as I said. Everyone fights in their own way and I thought it would be nice for Leila's way to be commanding W-ZERO to victory. It *is* there but she falters so much that her times of distress clearly outnumber her times of confidence.
>>14234494
Just because you know how to execute a basic throw and put someone in an arm lock doesn't mean you don't buckle under the stress of command.
She wasn't even W-0's CO until she snapped back at their old commander, anyway, and across the entire show it seemed that Klaus did more commanding than her, partly because of seniority and partly because she had the great idea to take to the field herself.
>>14234506
>buckle under the stress of command.
A natural phenomenon. But one that makes less sense when she was shown to be capable of it in 1 and then home sections of 2 and 3. It just doesn't make sense for her to continually lose it in 4 and 5.
>She wasn't even W-0's CO
She was Andou's adjutant but it's unclear if that put her above or below Klaus. Regardless she was made Klaus' superior by Smilas.
>Klaus did more commanding
Now this is a strange comment. The majority of the briefings are spoken entirely by Leila and in 2 Klaus specifically names her as the commander of the behind enemy lines operation. He rarely did more than offering a quip and holding the fort when Leila wasn't home.
>great idea to take to the field herself
Her job wasn't to fight the Britannians herself, it was to control the drones that were there to make up the numbers from there only being Akito and the other 3. You could make an argument that her fighting personally was inevitable which would expose her weakness in piloting KMFs but we didn't know that or how useless the drones would be at that point in the episode.
>>14234549
>in 2 Klaus specifically names her as the commander of the behind enemy lines operation.
And again, that was because she had the bright idea to use a Knightmare Frame. Klaus still did all the stuff at home, moreso than Leila did on a lot of occasions.
The girl's barely in her mid-teens and thrust into a command position, and as far as I recall the show certainly doesn't give her any outstanding tactical acumen at all. Even the castle siege just came down to activating traps.
>>14234573
>Klaus still did all the stuff at home, moreso than Leila did on a lot of occasions
I'm still drawing a blank here. She was only not home in 2 and 3 and during that time there wasn't much to do anyway.
>show certainly doesn't give her any outstanding tactical acumen at all
This depends on your definition of 'outstanding'. She saw the better outcome of disabling the Alexander bombs, recognized the potential value of the 3 elevens being pilots, coined the whole behind enemy lines operation (which WAS a success in spite of her KMF shortcomings). Based on her brothers call, she also saw through Lelouch's trick and devised the plan to destroy the floating ship. Plus she convinced the entire (or at least majority) population of the Euro population to stop rioting and fighting by herself. Still, I will concede she didn't do anything particularly helpful in 5 and that is one of my gripes with it.
-Ayano and Jean didn't get any action in 5
-The 3 Swordsmen also didn't get meaningful action against any of the heroes
-Ryo pretty much just spammed his chaingun, never used the missiles in either 4 or 5
-The manned Drones could have gotten some missiles if they were only fire support
-Red Ogre didn't get to use the AP melee grenade, smoke dispensers or reloading the Judgment Mk-II
-EU landships did nothing besides Smilas scene with the Leviathan being stupidly on the front with no support
at least the Vercingetorix fight was cool since the rest of the Michael were fodder
>>14234608
Most of those things were resolved with an application of common sense, not through being the second coming of Ulysses S. Grant or anyone similar.
>>14234414
I would rank them 1>3>2>5>4
I think you're being rather silly about certain things. For instance, Leila's personality was always altruistic and idealistic, all the way back to the first episode. She wasn't ruthless at all. In fact, she admits that commander should have been removed earlier. Not to mention her whole internal monologue and position towards the Japanese terrorists. In other words, if you expected Leila to be a ruthless bastard with no emotions or kindess, you weren't watching Code Geass Akito with a lot of attention
>>14234435
This isn't a case of runaway Geass though, so we can't claim it was "automatic" but something that reflects her will
>>14234459
SEED was always going to end, sooner or later, because Gundam AUs never have a long life. They're replaced on a regular basis. That's part of the business model. Since Code Geass has nothing more than two TV series (technically one same story) plus a single OVA (picture dramas are really just glorifies extras), they'll eventually do something else with it. Even a Code Geass AU wouldn't be impossible, since nobody has tried something remotely ambitious on that scale (just weird manga that reshuffle the same characters).
So what you guys would like for a hypothetical new Geass anime:
-Sequel to R2, either with the same cast or a new one
-AU retelling of one of the TV series
-AU with new cast and world
-OZ animeI don't think we're getting anything this year
>>14235933
Tbh I'm not too sure, I'd like a sequel to R2 only because I'd like to see the new Knightmares of course and OZ becoming an anime would be awesome.
AU retelling would be cool if you mean like how Macross Frontier's movies went a different direction and all. I don't think I'd enjoy a complete AU too much but I'd need to see a premise.
For me, personally, I just want more Knightmares in whatever capacity they come from.
>>14235933
Sequel to R2.
>>14235933
The real question is
>is lulu in it
>>14236060
Are you doing a full scan of O2 Side 2 as you get it or you are going in order with Side 3 then Side Lyre?
>>14235933
I'd expect a vague announcement this year, at some point in the fall season, but nothing concrete until 2017 or 2018.
>>14235933
AU with new cast and world seems the easiest option for Sunrise. I seem to remember a Sunrise exec who went to a convention in Italy said something along those lines a few years ago, when Akito hadn't been officially revealed.
>>14236748
I'd like to stay in order but I will probably and happily post the character and mechanical stuff out of order. Same for S3 and Oz S1.
>>14237007
That said, has a more specific release date came out?
>>14237011
2016/5/26, no cover or page number yet(should appear in the next days)
>>14234427
>>14234414
Oh, you're totally right. I didn't make the connection but when I first saw that visual at the end of 4 I was so damn hyped for the finale, and now months later watching 5 I was pretty disappointed. After seeing your post I noticed it's not at all what they teased it to be.
>>14230153
Wait, if Leila's geass was just that and not some geass reflector, how did she avoid getting geassed by Shin in the fourth movie?
>>14237378
Polarity or something.
>>14237378
She didn't avoid it. Shin didn't know a limitation of his Geass: It only works on those he personally cares about. Akito, his family, Manfredi, his adoptive family. They were all people he loved.
His Geass is born from his believe that life is painful, and a curse, so it lets him "free" his loved ones from that curse.
>>14232567
I don't think using the concepts itself is bad, just the way he used them.
I'm mostly cool with the Vision of Geassflowne, but it was confusing and poorly explained in the actual series, apparently needing interviews to clarify what happened properly. What bothered me more was the Noein moment, which felt genuinely out of place; while it was being explained, that just made me roll my eyes and think "yup, I get it, you like your literal interpretations of quantum physics".
I think the actual problem lies in the fact they're just thrown in there in the last movie, as if he had just remembered he wanted to use those concepts in the last second somehow, making them feel like they don't belong.
If it had been something that was built into Akito the Exiled from the start, I think it could have been really good good. Something like Leila having a Geass that causes sporadic visions might've been awesome, even if a little derivative of his previous work.

>>14237387
He loved this entire room full of people? Really?
>>14235933
I'm very scared of an AU retelling being total garbage but I have the desire to see some Geass movies done like that. It's less damage to the series than a sequel to R2 if it's crap and more likely to be interesting than something with a new cast.
>>14237417
It's hinted that they are all his relatives/clan members.
>>14237432
Conversely, I'd want a new cast in a separate AU because playing around with the same basic set of characters can get tiring, unless they have a really good idea in mind for it.
>>14237432
I think rather than a whole retelling, the best option would be for the series to start at a certain point and have the timeline diverge there.
For example, the Administrator could intervene at a specific point, and show a Lelouch of that parallel timeline what happened in the canon timeline and things go in a different direction from that choice.
This could also open up the door to using characters from Akito and Oz in the new timeline.
>>14237482
I think it's kind of stupid that a Geass would have a limitation on what kind of person it can work on. I prefer that kind of thing be left to a conscious choice (something like "I'll only use it on those I love because those I hate deserve to keep suffering in this world") than be embedded in the power.
He got his Geass from a weird floating skull thing that I didn't even understand whether it was a symbolic scene or literal in which case what the hell was up with it though, so whatever.
>>14237504
If a Geass can stop your heart, I don't think one having a limited range of potential targets is that big of a deal.
>>14237512
I just realized a Geass stopping your heart sounds pretty dumb too, dammit
>>14237517
Well, luckily, it was only his own heart.
For some reason.
>>14237519
I'll just assume it's the side effect of him being a defective experiment, instead of his Geass' time stopping power literally stopping his heart.
>>14237498
Like, before the Euphinator?
Somehow everything would need to fuck up even without the "kill all the Elevens" geass though.
>>14237528
Well, I mean, it only stopped the perception of time, so you could like twist it around and say it fucked up his brain, and nerves, or something.
>>14237504
Eh, I don't feel too strongly in either direction. At least it's not just a copy of an existing power. They also did say Shin's Geass is explicitly a twisted/distorted one, probably in part due to its self-destructive nature and also because of the unorthodox way in which he received it
>>14237532
Pretty much. You can erase that whole conversation between Lelouch and Euphemia, but you'd still need something else that would ruin her intentions and make Suzaku hate Lelouch.
I think any plausible alternate retelling would have more differences than that though. Like Lelouch joining an already existing resistance unit and subverting it from within, for instance, and certain characters not existing. Probably what they'd do for a movie...and they could go pretty wild with that near the end, Macross Frontier style.
Can someone help me out here?
I'm organizing someone to go to FULL CODE 2 for me but I'd like to know if there's a list of attendees somewhere so I know what to tell him to get.

Just took a look on the website, and I don't think there's any yet. The registration for circle participants just closed a few days ago, and they're still accepting drawings from them to be compiled in a big banner, so I think it's likely that they'll announce it in the future.
Hope that helps.
>>14238096
Thanks. Not really that great news though as this buyer is angling for me to tell him exactly what I want (which is understandable) but I'll keep at it.
In other news, I understand that people are probably put off by all the gay stuff at FULL CODE but if anyone here sees something they want I may be able to negotiate on getting it should this buyer work out.
>>14235933
Honestly, I sequel to R2 would be nice at this point.
The problem being that this is sunrise, with that Gundam money. I don't think that they going to revisit Code Geass ffor a very long time. ATE was a bit of a shock all things considered.
>>14235933
>-Sequel to R2, either with the same cast or a new one
Why would anyone want this? The story ended and left no possibilities for a continuation (lots of loose ends but nothing in the variety that can make a story out of) you would have to make up an entirely new conflict and find a way to bring back Lelouch.
>-AU retelling of one of the TV series
Most plausible route really. Something akin to The Origin or the Frontier movies which expands on events, removes a lot of the fat of the TV series (just remove the Geass lore altogether and call it magic) and streamline the storyline to make it accessible for new audiences and familiar to old fans.
>-AU with new cast and world
This is the worst possible option. Akito, Oz, and Renya were practically this.
>-OZ anime
Laziest route and probably what we're getting. Problem is that Oz/O2 weren't exactly popular and given that Bandai has shelved the Robot Spirits line it probably won't be a great investment however the series could be smoothed out considerably in the anime thus making the two stories work far better.
We're gonna get an announcement this year. Code Geass was Sunrise's biggest new franchise in who knows when and before Love Live was the only studio produced franchise outside Gundam they pushed heavily, its a significant part of their history at this point and given none of the new shit has come close to its popularity (Love Live excluded) they're not gonna leave it dry for its 10th anniversary.
>>14237301
>>14234427
>>14234414
That's a real stupid compliant since none of the Akito PVs were actually like the episodes that came after. Hell so much of the footage shown throughout promotion never made it to the actual show.
>>14237517
Most Geass powers are pretty fucking stupid and their drawbacks and conditions make it not really worth it but I actually like the fact that they're really curses rather than beneficial to the livelihoods of the users like so many OP powers. Leila and Rai are probably the only ones with no notable repercussions
>>14238356
>>-AU with new cast and world
>This is the worst possible option. Akito, Oz, and Renya were practically this.
None of them were really alternate universe takes in the first place though, much less with the same format. I think a true AU would try to have a different approach than the ones each of the above took.
>>14238601
>I think a true AU would try to have a different approach than the ones each of the above took.
Haven't been watching Gundam lately I see.
>>14238362
That was annoying every time but I understood it as plans changing, there were eternal delays between movies, after all.
The final movie's teaser being so different from the actual product is the most egregious though, since it should've been nearly finished by then and wasn't actually pushed back considerably unlike the other ones. Did the plans for it actually change so close to release? Was it intentionally misleading?
>>14238669
It was probably just a teaser to get people excited rather than showcasing things to come similar with the PVs for the second showcasing the team getting ready for battle when it was completely different.
>>14238681
I feel like that backfired, unfortunately, when the teaser ended up seeming more interesting than the final product.
>>14238669
Well, I think a fair amount of the general teaser concepts still ended up in the OVA. Just not in the exact way they were portrayed. They still reflect ideas (and character appearances) relatively accurately, even if some were shifted around (C.C. in preview 2, but only shows up in part 3).
>>14238619
Gundam has had its share of AUs over the years that are nothing like any of the preexisting UC side stories (or the main stories, for that matter).
It's not like they would hire any of the recent Gundam staff for this anyway.
>>14238601
>I think a true AU would try to have a different approach than the ones each of the above took.
Then you pretty much have a different show.
>>14238767
The only AU series that are completely different from the general concepts of Gundam are G and Turn A, the rest are pretty much UC retellings in a different setting which are essentially what the Gaiden spin-offs have been .
So, do you guys rewatch CG often?
>>14238782
Last time was a couple of years ago, but I guess I do.
>>14235933
I want a Code Black: Lelouch of the Shred Guitar anime.
>>14238782
Nope. R2 is practically unwatchable.
>>14238777
None of the Gaiden spin-offs made so far have even remotely tried to retell the existing story in a truly different setting.
They've just been side stories that are meant to take place between the preexisting seasons in the same exact setting (or, at best, parallel to them).
Even when it comes to Gundam sharing a basic concept, there are far too many other specific differences between Wing, G, X, 00, SEED and even AGE, among others, to simply call them retellings of each other.
>>14238804
G-Reco and IBO are also not going for the same thing either.
>>14238804
>None of the Gaiden spin-offs made so far have even remotely tried to retell the existing story in a truly different setting.
Oz literally takes place between R1 and R1 and O2 is essentially retelling the events from a different view including retconning the last battle but inserting characters that were never there.
>Wing
Milardo's character arc is a complete rip off Char right up to hurling something big at the earth

As an alternate retelling of UC and shares the same core aspects
>SEED
>AGE
Literally UC
>>14238821
>R1
*R2
only the PVs for 1 and 2 had unused footage anyway. Most were KMF scenes/character introductions so they didn't make a difference at all to the story
The 5 poster is meant to signify the alternate reality Leila saw with everyone dying and thus was a red herring from Akane.
>>14238821
>Oz literally takes place between R1 and R1
That's what I was already saying.
>O2 is essentially retelling the events from a different view including retconning the last battle but inserting characters that were never there.
Sure, but it's not a "reimagining" in the same way that SEED or X is to UC. It's more like Gundam the Origin altering details about one of the OYW battles.
>Milardo
Yes, but you can't say Wing is identical to the UC in every single way.
Even X treats Newtypes differently, etc.
AGE had a generational concept that was new to the property and SEED eventually changed a lot more too.

Why is Smilas demonized so? Are they pulling the excuse that dictator = evil character? Apart from faking Leila's death he just seems like a guy who does what needs to be done. For all we know his death and the subsequent power vacuum is the reason the EU died.
And then there's Yukiya, who has had a deathwish for the entire show who makes a suicide attack on the Britannians AND STILL SURVIVES. I've got no issue with his character but just let him die already.
But all that said, there is some hope from the ending. When R3 airs Akito's group is almost certain to make a cameo.

Seriously, what a disappointment. As if they completely backtracked on the serious tone of the first two OVA. This honestly does not give me confidence for a possible sequel to R2, a movie remaster or whatever they try to do for the anniversary. I would prefer new merch and a blu ray release of the original.
>>14251199
You forget Smilas was implied to have betrayed Leila's father and the fourth episode indicated he was also willing to sell out his daughter too. That adds insult to injury.
Dictatorship per se might not be bad in all possible circumstances, but when you climb to the top using such methods that does speak rather poorly about your own moral and ethical status.
That said, his fall does help explain why the EU didn't last too long against the Britannian mainland forces, once they arrived in the continent.
A proper R3 is not likely to happen. It's not impossible, but I think many other options are easier to imagine than that.
So from the illustrations, the mysterious woman is called the Caretaker of Space and Time, I wonder if she may give Lelouch another chance in an alternative world, with his memories from his past life intact?

That's some questionable attitude and shaky logic. Seriousness does not mean some sort of mass murder has to be the only outcome, nor the other way around. It's also silly of you to relate this to any real or perceived future continuation, given the staff will not be remotely similar. You're already getting that merch and BD release, so don't whine.

That would be like if the "real" ghost of Char showed up in Gaia Gear or something?
Booklet 5 translation tonight

151GB of Geass
-Ashley's visit made a little change to Jean's heart
-Shin saved Ashley and Jean after they were abandoned by their parents and near death. Both were trying to save Shin in their own ways.
-Jean killing Shin is compatible with Shin's desire to kill the ones he loved to save them from this world.
-3 years after Akito's birth, Shin killed his father and acquired Geass which he used to kill the Hyuga Clan
-Shin met Manfredi in a downtown corner. Shin when he adopted Jean and Ashley.
-Shin and Akito contrast just like the painting with the woman and the Geass skull
-Shin's Geass is to order those who he love to death, that's why it didn't work on Leila. Their mother gave Akito a reduced dose of the medicine and after Shin's Geass couldn't work since toddler Akito's survival instinct prevailed since he couldn't understand the concept of death and couldn't kill himself.
-Leila couldn't understand the meaning of the Geass given to her so her ability didn't bloom. That's why the Caretaker was interested in her. Her Geass created a special circumstance that connected people's consciousness by interfering with the BRS hosted by the geassed Akito.
-The Caretaker is a being who can grasp time as if it were space. She thought the history of mankind was full of mistakes so she gave Geass to them so they could change history. However, those who had Geass used it as a curse. Perhaps giving them Geass was a mistake. People like Leila show the possibilities of Geass.

>-Jean killing Shin is compatible with Shin's desire to kill the ones he loved to save them from this world.
I guess it is sort of poetic that way. Hadn't thought about it before.

>Shin met Manfredi in a downtown corner. Shin when he adopted Jean and Ashley.
So Shin picked them up in the same way he was found by Manfredi? That's the impression I'm getting from this.
>-3 years after Akito's birth, Shin killed his father and acquired Geass which he used to kill the Hyuga Clan
Confirmation that he was a relative of all the dead people in that room

>. Their mother gave Akito a reduced dose of the medicine and after Shin's Geass couldn't work since toddler Akito's survival instinct prevailed since he couldn't understand the concept of death and couldn't kill himself.
The scene with the medicine seemed weird, but it makes far more sense with this explanation. Also why Shin was angry at his mother's ghost for "not killing Akito" too.
>Her Geass created a special circumstance that connected people's consciousness by interfering with the BRS hosted by the geassed Akito.
So you could say that without the BRS incident it's unlikely she would have been able to use her power like that?
>She thought the history of mankind was full of mistakes so she gave Geass to them so they could change history.
Hmm...I think they could return to this idea in a sequel (or prequel or AU) since it wasn't clear from Akito itself. Sounds interesting as a concept.
>People like Leila show the possibilities of Geass
I imagine she probably saw late R2 Lelouch in a somewhat similar manner.

Sorry I didn't complete the sentece: Shin when he adopted Jean and Ashley repeated the same kind act done by Manfredi to him.
Akane interview next
Akane interview:
-He always wanted to do a dramatic scene in the snow, see the 1st PV
-He wanted to use the cemetery from 1 again
-He took this opportunity to go all out in the robot department
-He considered the idea of Shin and Akito stabbing each other
-He didn't have any problems including Suzaku and Lelouch.
-The theme was human anger and forgiveness
-Both Shin and Akito were pure, but Shin couldn't understand the world.
-Yamashita was in charge of the climax storyboards not him.
-The Geass paint signifies Shin using it for evil and Leila using it for good.
-Leila's Geass is not a weapon like Lelouch's. She wanted friends and foes alike to understand each other, so she shared the feelings of everybody without resorting to words, reaching a point to stop the battle. Furthermore if a lot minds link up a new observer is born and a new space-time might be created. This was shown in the control room scene ''time rewind''.
-He found the Geass VS Geass idea already done to death by the TV series, so in Akito he wanted to explore why Geass exists in the world, hence the Caretaker as one interpretation. She's a spiritual being that exists in the five-dimensional universe that's able to grasp time as space. She has an outside view of mankind's time like a map and bestowed Geass as a seed of possibility to better evolve mankind. However mankind didn't use Geass very well so she considered recovering it. Leila proved Geass could be used for the good.
-He said he it was difficult not being able to change the setting this time, unlike an original work. He says he mutated the Code Geass DNA so it could be expanded in the future.
-He considered a ending with Leila running for EU president with Akito at her side but opted for them to live peacefully away from the center stage of history
-He was satisfied with the result and would enjoy working from the beginning again

I'm iffy on the Leila's Geass description since the phrase is long.
I believe it says it's similar to BRS and not that it only worked because of BRS.
I will consult Eternal Dreamer

>Leila running for EU president with Akito at her side
That would be awful due to the EU eventually losing and everything
>>14258069
The only way that could work would be if Leila lost the election. But you know, seeing her with a wounded yet still alive Akito in that context would have been interesting.
>>14257674
>Leila proved Geass could be used for the good
That would've been more impressive if her Geass wasn't so lame. It feels less like she uses her Geass for good, and more like her Geass' power can only be used for good. If it were something that could've been "in the wrong hands" and Leila only chose to do good with it, then it might've had some impact.
>>14258169
See, I don't think Leila is the kind of person who would get a Geass with a destructive application. Supposedly your power reflects your goal/ambition/desire in some way, doesn't it? I think it's less exciting than many other Geass abilities, but it's more interesting in terms of reflecting her nature. It's not something that could be "in the wrong hands" because her desires are less inherently selfish. That's why the Caretaker even bothers to show up before her, since almost everyone else has a more egoistical power and thus is already doomed to fail for the most part.
