Doing the rewatch with my brother around got us to notice something weird. Chanma early on mutters it was six hours when the chaos at the prison occurred and didn't go back to fix things. Later on Lelouch figured that he time warp let he fix things up to nine hours earlier through the timing of the fixed air vents. So why didn't she fix the shitstorm at the prison if she had enough time to? Level Seven fucked around with this message at 03:30 on May 8, 2019 |

Level Seven posted:No, I was also at AB and brought the mask for fun. Depends on which part of it. The implication, if I remember correctly, is that she may have already ordered Shestal to replace Shalio at the prison precisely because Shanma could have witnessed another outcome where her brother died by staying there during the rescue operation. Like it's also implied she probably went back in order for Shalio to capture Zero right at the start of the film.

what was going on with the codes and geass itf. am i misremembering the symbols dont show up on your body unless you get a code? but lelouchs and shamna had geass and the symbols? and i thought codes transferred at time of death and you lost powers, so lelouch would have known? i know they said he was fractured and mixed upo, was shamna as well?. also shirley being alive was super lame, but from the wiki that seems to be a movie continuity thing? so dumb

Mao, for example, doesn't exist. And yeah no the Code/Geass combo stuff is totally new. Doctor Reynolds posted:I remember watching this show way back in high school, good times. Awkward, but fun.

People tend to bully Akito too much. There's issues and all, but I enjoyed how it tried to do new things. I will say it's funny how in some circles the vibe is "Code Geass was lame, Akito is fine" instead. If you can approach Akito like a standard mecha anime, you might probably like it more. Relin posted:what was going on with the codes and geass itf. am i misremembering the symbols dont show up on your body unless you get a code? but lelouchs and shamna had geass and the symbols? and i thought codes transferred at time of death and you lost powers, so lelouch would have known? i know they said he was fractured and mixed upo, was shamna as well?. The movie does mention that Lelouch/Charles messed up the World of C during the Ragnarok Connection episode, which is apparently what changed the rules and allowed him to have both a Code and a Geass at the same time. It was the leftover will/soul of Charles (after he got erased in that realm) that blocked Lelouch's soul from returning to the body...until this film, when some other souls seen in shadow helped C.C. solve the problem. Apparently a Code doesn't activate (or become visible on the body) until you actually recover from a first death. It's not explicitly spelled out, so maybe the exact details could be different, but in either case...I did get the sense that Lelouch definitely didn't know in advance what was going to happen to him. We get only limited data about Shamna, but she does have a Code...so she probably gained it years ago the normal way and only recovered her use of the Geass (well, an evolved/changed version of it) after the Ragnarok stuff had altered everything. Overall, all this unclear metaphysical stuff can always be explained by simply saying "it's magic" but I thought it worked well in practice to set up the actual final fight/challenge within the context of the movie. wielder fucked around with this message at 05:30 on May 9, 2019 |

Relin posted:and do the combo codes not revive you? else how would shamna's geass even function? we dont see lelouch take any damage though That's the main question they seem to leave hanging about Lelouch himself, at least after he recovered the first time. What C.C. does say is she seemed to have a restricted access to the World of C near the start of the movie, so maybe there's just a limit of some sort and Lelouch might not have the seemingly endless ability to revive that C.C. showed in the TV series. I suppose the real answer will be whatever the creators find to be convenient later on. This is open to debate, but Shanma's Geass seems to send only her mind and memories back to an earlier state, rather than actually rewinding time itself for everyone else...so I guess it creates the equivalent of a parallel "route split" in the world every time she does that? It would make sense, I think.

I'm just gonna assume C.C. going to C's world and getting Lelouch's soul back might have actually fixed it all up since Shanma seems to go there and it looks fine again. Good on the movies for getting Ohgi out of the poo poo list, making Sayoko even more of a badass, giving Kallen the much needed screentime that R2 denied her, keeping Shirley alive, and continuing to ensure that Gino is a worthless loser. I also loved the cameos by the Oz cast and seeing Nonette still being alive was also nice, and I guess we got official confirmation that Xingke is absolutely loving dead?

I would say the movie ended up being like a B- for me. It was better than I had expected in some ways, particularly the character moments in general and the use of actual humor, but the big picture was quite bland despite having some legit exciting sequences. Overall, it's a more middling level of quality than either season. I am still fairly interested in where they will go next, since the obligatory revival is done. Ohgi really had the weirdest overreaction. I guess the staff knows the fans tend to hate him by now, so it makes some sense from that angle, but yeah. Dude, just don't do that. wielder fucked around with this message at 03:16 on May 16, 2019 |

The new Code Geass movie is coming out on Japanese Blu-ray in December. https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2019/08/23/code-geass-lelouch-of-the-resurrection-dvdblu-ray-release-date-set-for-december-5-2019 Based on that, I assume there might be a U.S. physical release in late 2020.

Watched it. It kind of worked as a nostalgia fest, but I dont't feel it has anything more to add. And it certainly weakens some of the themes that worked in the old series. cancelling the self-sacrifice, the increasingly monstrous nature of the geass, and the overall general forgiveness for LL by everyone Overall meh, but I'll probably watch more if the make it.

Finally got around to seeing all the new movies. Made the mistake of watching the sequel movie before the compilation movies as I did not realize the compilation movies established an alternate timeline where Shirley lives, so I just stared at the screen and muttered to myself I watched you die. The compilation movies themselves did an admirable enough job given that you can only include so many scenes and plot points when trying to condense/re-tell an entire series with just three movies. Even if there was no sequel movie to follow, I found that the new ending track helped to take away some of the sting. As much as I like Continued Story, I appreciate Ne:one for its ability to help re-center my thoughts on Lelouch's accomplishments rather than to simply mourn the loss of the character. As for the Resurrection movie; the story was fine I suppose, but I feel that certain scenes could have had more breathing room. I though the reunion scenes with Kallen and Suzaku were fairly well done, with Kallen's being my favorite if only because we get to see the character gradually come to terms with what is happening over multiple stages. The reunion scene with Nunnally wasn't quite as tearful as I would have expected and the scene with Cornelia definitely felt the most rushed. Had we been given another season instead of a sequel movie, I can't help but wonder what could have been done differently, especially with regards to Cornelia. As devastated as she was by Euphy's murder, I imagine that Lelouch's death helped Cornelia obtain some sense of closure. Seeing him alive again could have caused her to relapse and begin grieving anew, while giving us some of that patented Code Geass Pathos that we all crave. Definitely curious to see what's on the horizon.

 SOMEWHAT RECENT NEWS Code Geass Lelouch of the Re;surrection Manga Launches in April  Anime News Network posted:The official Twitter account for Kadokawa's Comic Newtype web comic site announced on Friday that Tomofumi Ogasawara will launch a new manga titled Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection (Code Geass: Fukkatsu no Lelouch) on the website in April. The manga will premiere on the image sharing website pixiv in May. Sunrise's Kōjirō Taniguchi (Code Geass: Akito the Exiled planning manager) is credited with the scenario based on the original Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion anime series.The manga will begin with an original story that depicts the blank period leading up to the resurrection. Between the Re;surrection manga and last year's announcement of a 10-year plan, I'm cautiously optimistic about future content for the series. At present, there does not appear to be an official english release of the manga yet, but the first chapter is off to a great start.

It seems that new manga has been delayed a little due to the virus craziness going around (which will probably also affect other related projects), but the first chapter was nice enough. For those who like behind-the-scenes materials, there's been a few interesting interviews about the movie and the past/future of the property. quote:–How did you work over the plan for “Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection”? quote:–Please tell us the story behind Lelouch’s revival following the compilation movie trilogy. quote:–How did you come up with the newly appearing country, Zilkstan? quote:Taniguchi: It’s one period mark, but it isn’t the end of this series. However, because I think I won’t ever make a story that centers around “Rebellious Lelouch” anymore, this time it’s “the end”. Even if he appears in the future, perhaps it will be in a different title, as something new. And toward the entirety of this project, my sentiment is “For now I’ve put it into a shape, for what comes next I’ll leave it in your hand”. quote:Thus Lelouch was revived. What changes has this brought about? wielder fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Jun 16, 2020 |

Lelouch wouldn't need to command people to vote for him, as we all saw during the last episodes of R2.  This guy also seems like he's ran for office numerous times and never gets elected, so I guess running as an anime character cosplayer is just his latest gamble.

Fairly Recent Manga Spoilers Technically Linked Below I Guess So I've been going through the manga CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Rebellion Re; and it definitely appears to be set in the timeline established by the anime series. Then you get to Chapter 15 and you see things like this, and the last page makes it crystal clear that the story will continue in some fashion. The impression I'm getting is that the Re;surrection manga is supposed to be a continuation of Re; and yet it also incorporates elements from the movie, so we may be looking at the creation of a possible third timeline. What I'm trying to say is that Code Geass is

Well yeah, it wouldn't be very interesting if all they did was slavishly adapt the movie into a manga without adding anything new. But I think it's still not as complicated nor as messy as trying to explain the Fate franchise and all of its spin-offs. I've lost track of how that works. Btw, apparently there is something planned for Lelouch's birthday according to the official Code Geass Twitter. Which is not too important, except Sunrise likes to announce new projects at events scheduled for that date. Since we all live in the coronavirus timeline though, it may be an online presentation or something.
