The Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion website announced the premiere screenings of Stages 24 and 25, the last episodes of the robot war anime before the planned sequel. They will show once in Osaka on July 21 and twice in Tokyo the following day. The events will also have a half-hour actors' panel with Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch), Takahiro Sakurai (Suzaku), Yukana (C.C.), and Ami Koshimizu (Kallen). The tickets will be distributed by a random drawing of application forms available to patrons of Newtype, Voice Newtype, Monthly Asuka, and Comp Ace magazines; the Animate store chain; and the Biglobe website.

Yeah yeah, this was posted a while back, but i saw a bogus Geass 24 on tokyotosho and thought i would let people know, it aint coming out foe a while, so we are just guna have to grin and bare it for a while.

How ya doing, buddy?

Episode 24 and 25 will premier at Movie theaters in Japan on July 21 and 22nd. Japanese people can "raffle" for it if they buy some magazines and send the raffle ticket in the magazines. Two episodes will be shown together, and the runtime is about 90 minutes.

More info can be found at the official website, http://www.geass.jp/special_13.html.

What about those who do not live in Japan!!!

Like i said
We will have to wait untill the DVD comes out :P

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh, it's right up there, haha sorry!
I totally didn't see that.

Yeah i guess we will have to wait until the DVD release... kind of funny if season 2 starts to air before the DVD release... now THAT would suck.

How ya doing, buddy?

We...Lookin at the Japanese Release, They are releasing a DVD a month, dont quote this because i cant read Japanese, But it looks like they are releasing the DVDs with 3 episodes each, and the 6th dvd is due out next week. donin the math, that puts episode 25 out on dvd 9....so we have 3 more months before we see it it looks like...so yeah looks like unless it airs on TV sometime this summer, the 2nd season will probably start airing before we get to see the end of the first XP

FELIPE NO

First fully public release after premiere screenings, 500-user net streaming
The official website for the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion announced the Japanese broadcast schedule for the Stage 24 & 25 Special, which is the postponed one-hour ending to the 2006 war robot television series. The episode will air on the MBS station on July 28—more precisely, 2:25 a.m. the following morning. It will air on other Japanese stations throughout the following two weeks. The Biglobe video streaming site is also allowing 500 randomly selected users in Japan to view the two episodes for one day between July 25 and 27.

The website had previously announced premiere screening events for the two episodes as well as an greenlit continuation of the story (in an unspecified format).

SO! it looks like we WILL get to see it before season 2 starts! now weather one of those 500 netusers subs in and has it on the net before the accualy showing or not, who knows. but it looks like we will probably have the last 2 episodes of the first season by August

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

From what I can tell, no one has outright said that they're making a second season of the anime; just a continuation. It could be a second season (I hope it is, too), but it could also be an OVA series, a series of movies, or it could continue in light novel format. Or, like Star Ocean EX, the story could be continued in a series of drama CDs.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

According to what happens in episodes 24 and 25, there probably will be a second season. Or at least some type of OVA series.

It has been subbed though, so lucky us we got it before August.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just have watched the last episode, and gosh, there is no conclusion at all, but seriously, the last two eps pumped all my adrenalin up!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No Geass fans here? Sadness...

Anyway, figured I'd bump this since I didn't see an R2 thread.

We're roughly three weeks away from season 2, and there's a ton of info (BEWARE SPOILERS) here

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm a big fan of Code Geass (my last avatar before this was of Lelouch actually), and I'm really looking forward to the second season! But there's no way in HELL though I'm gonna look at that site you just posted, because who'd wanna ruin the fun by getting things spoiled at this stage? I'd rather wait.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Quote:

Director Taniguchi (in what appears to be a slip of the tongue in the PASH interview) and the animators (in their private blogs) have referred to the first episode of R2 as Stage 26; all the voice actors refer to it as “first episode of the sequel” or some variation of that.

I bet they're kicking themselves for that one...

Either way, it sounds exciting. The EU was sort of a backdrop existing somewhere on the periphery, so it'll be interesting to see what they're all about, but at the same time I'm disappointed that it'll chip away at the 1984 parallels to see outside perspectives.

Awesome spoilers ahoy!

Spoiler:

Begins the season working as a bunny-girl waitress at a casino in the Babel Tower, which forcibly employs Elevens as waitresses and even has a coliseum for them to battle each other in.

(a new character):Wants to be remembered, so she maintains a blog which she frequently updates and is always snapping pictures with her camera-phone.

The new Governor General of Area 11 is a cruel man named Carares, who holds executions in the garden Clovis built on top of the administration building.

HAIL BRITANNIA!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Speaking of spoilers...

Spoiler:

Shamelessly taken from the animesuki forums, a few tidbits

TRANSLATION:

'After one year...a new destiny has begun.

Knight of Rounds, Kururugi Suzaku

New Character, Rollo

And a new Zero appears

New TV series to be aired at spring '08!'

Confirmed by official sources

- 1 year time skip (official trailer)
- New character's name is Rollo (trailer, NewType January)
- Suzaku has joined the "Knight of Rounds" (trailer)
- Zero has a new look (trailer, NewType January)
- Zero might not be Lelouch (Kawaguchi in NewType January)
- New season starts Spring 08
- Season 2 will take place on a global scale

By Fake Yoshino

- Season 2 starts off with scenes that appear to depict normal, everyday life; he doesn't say whose
- Rollo is a character with an "interesting role", and that "(yaoi?) fangirls will probably like it very much" (Alluding to his being Lelouch's sibling?)
- Suzaku's new position will also be an interesting one (Most likely alluding to his joining the Knight of Rounds)
- New season will air in the Sat6 slot (currently Gundam 00's)
- Subtitle for season 2 hasn't been decided upon yet, but it'll be "mostly the same"

By Taniguchi

- Taniguchi: "Fu-kuyama will find himself in an interesting position in season 2." (NewType Taniguchi + Fu-kuyama interview)
- There'll be romantic developments for Lelouch in season 2; the writers deliberately kept them out of season 1 because they felt they needed to show what Lelouch's goals are without complicating matters (PASH! Taniguchi interview)
- Season 2 will have battles after battles after battles... (PASH! Taniguchi interview)
- V.V. is one of the many "key person"s in the show, along with the new Chinese character. (PASH! Taniguchi interview)
- Some of the things that happened in Season 1 will come back to haunt Lelouch in Season 2; "he needs to learn that life is one continuous series of events, and that everything is connected" (PASH! Taniguchi interview)
- Lelouch will meet a lot of new people in Season 2; how he deals with them and gets them on his side will be something worth watching. Who knows, there might also be a betrayal... (PASH! Taniguchi interview)
- "The story has only just begun. I'm really sorry about that. (bitter laugh)" (PASH! Taniguchi interview)
- Not many characters will die from here on (Koshimizu's interview, from the Complete Guide Book; she talks about being relieved to hear it, but then realizes that "not many will die" also means "some will die".)

By Kawaguchi

- While most of the battles in Season 1 relied on Lelouch, season 2 will test the Black Knights' strength as a proper organization. Lelouch using his Geass for outrageous schemes will still be part of the show, however. (NewType)
- "I want Lelouch to continue leading a double life in season 2" (NewType)
- Not many characters will die from here on... but there will be a living hell waiting. (NewType)

By Anonymous

- 1 Year Later
- New character's full name is Rollo Lamperouge (spoiler provided long before NewType January)
- Villetta becomes an Ashford teacher in order to look for Lelouch
- When asked what becomes of Suzaku: "He's busy with his Knightly duties. From what I've seen so far, I don't know if he ever goes back to school."
- Lelouch's hair is slightly longer (not quite shoulder-length)
- Lelouch remains the protagonist; his stance hasn't changed much
- Lelouch remains an Ashford student

By animators, through their blogs

- New Chinese character looks like Yasha from CLAMP's RG Veda
- Rollo has a helmet? (Rides a bike? Unless KMF pilots are suddenly required to wear helmets now)
- There is a scene where Lelouch moves a chess piece
- "The siblings (Lelouch and Rollo) are not much alike."

New!* - A character who looks like C.C. appears.
New!* - Most of the characters on the enemy side are "good-looking".
New!* - Lelouch is as "dark" as usual (the term used in the Dark Nunnally sense), while Suzaku appears to have gone back to being Ore-Suzaku for good.

Code Geass season 2 -- SPRING! - AnimeSuki Forum

Its been so long since I've watched the end of 'season 1' of Geass, I'll probably need to go back and rewatch the end to remember just exactly what the hell happened.

Its also quite convenient that Geass is taking Gundam 00's place (though I'd still much they rather keep these seasons continuous instead of breaking them apart).

Although the biggest thing I took from that spoiler is that

Spoiler:

There is another Lelouche sibling who is alive who we're going to meet. I guess he is that baby that their mother was holding when their home was attacked (if memory serves, I could just be making stuff up, or was that Nunnally...). That and certain spoilers point to the possibility that this new sibling (Rollo is allegedly his name) isn't exactly loyal to his blood siblings...

Oh, and one more thing.
And 1 year leap eh? Bradylama, your prediction on the Gundam 00 thread about the season gap also being a time lapse seems incredibly likely.

Hail Britannia indeed.

FELIPE NO

So I've started to rewatch the first season, and I just noticed something I didn't the last time (why I didn't is a mystery). I was like "Heeeeeey, that Nina girl... SHE DID JUST WHACK IT OFF TO EUPHIE'S PICTURE, DIDN'T SHE D: CAAN'T, UNSEEEEEEEEEE!"

Now I've gotten more disgusted by her than I was in the first place.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Now I've gotten more disgusted by her than I was in the first place.

The best part is I don't think she was really masturbating, it looked like she was just staring at the photo and came :skeet::skeet::skeet:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Apparently, from what I heard, she was humping the table. Like this



I wonder if that dude who got arrested for doing it with his picnic table was a fan of Code Geass?

How ya doing, buddy?

Welp, now that Gundam is over, Geass is almost here

Spoiler:

I can't wait

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If you didn't know, the first episode of the second season is now out, subbed and everything!

So I watched it. And, wow. Just, wow. Right now, the only thing I can say is, wow.

I'll come back tomorrow with more thoughts on it, because right now I'm unable to think clearly both because I'm dead-tired and because of the episode.

P.S. Wow. D.S.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Didn't really care much for it, tbqh. I'm sure it'll get better, but the whole false implanted memory thing makes me can't help but feel like it's going to reinforce the dementia of otakukin.

I was speaking idiomatically.

yeah i also kinda thought thought that it was a cheap way to start off the series.

Spoiler:

with luluoche (not spelled right huh ~_~) having lost his memories. how many times have you not seen this happen to the main character. Also, it seemed as tho it recreated a few scenes from the first episode of the first season when he first got the geass. It sorta reminded me of how shakugan no shena second started off by recreating the first season but I don't think it'll be that bad, shana really dissapointed me ;_;.
I was actually confused in the start of the episode so I wikapedia'd the episode list to see if I missed anything.
It was a bit of a slow start but I feel like it's going to get much better. I have to admit, when he got his memory back at the end I just thought "The king is back! =0"

You all must die.
"yes your highness!"

How ya doing, buddy?

Not really bad introduction though I expected something more different. Seems like this R2 will be much more angsty than previous season.

My guess for the next eps:

Spoiler:

Zero will make a plan to rescue the rest of the Black Knight

FELIPE NO

Its definitely somewhat of a slow start but I think it helps to setup the backdrop for future' normal life' episodes.

Spoiler:

So did anyone else notice that (presumably) the emperor's Geass in his right eye?

Also, what the hell is Sunrise's Jupiter fetishr? Its in Gundam and its in Geass (connection between GN drives and C.C? hilarious).

It would also appear that Ogi didn't die from the gunshot wound that woman gave him. Who is now also a teacher at the academy? Interesting job change, oh and she is capable of leaping out of the second story window and land right on top of Rivalz, who surprisingly doesn't end up with a herniated disc or something but I digress... oh that and most of the Order of the Black Knight's elite are still alive, and it appears there is going to be a jailbreak episode next week.

I also found the parallel between this first episode and last season's first episode entertaining that is ordering a group of Britannian soldiers to kill themselves, an order with which they answered with an enthusiastic 'Yes your highness.' Very awesome.

Though I must say I'm not terribly impressed with the music so far, I found the OP to be quite mediocre and the episode lacked that Britannian theme that the first season had.

And in the end credits did anyone else catch the pic with the Emperor and V.V? if the Emperor has Geass powers could it have come from V.V? Also, where is Nunally, Lelouch will probably be rather pissed to find her missing and Rollo sort of in her place.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, it was definitely a bit of a slow start and it kind of threw me off with everyone's memories being erased. However, all that was needed for me to get all hyped up was to see that cold mother fucker Zero again And I quite agree, it was simply awesome to see him order them all to die and with them all proceeding with a "Yes your highness".

In a way I'm thinking maybe it's just good that they started out the series like this, and save the "cave" scene from the end of first season till later, cause I'm probably guessing there's some major shit that happened that'd throw the series off balance if they'd pulled it off in the beginning.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So after a slow start I think things are really going to pick up.

Spoiler:

That new lord general of Japan/Area 11 (take your pick) is now dead after his short stint of being the ruler. We also discover that the Emperor has not one of his eyes with Geass, but two. In the accompanying scenes we see what happened between the last episodes of S1 and S2. After seeing that scene Suzaku's position as the 'good' guy (if you held that view) really comes into doubt. That and the emperor has some kind of crazy dig floating in mid-air.

In other news it would appear that this time around Lelouch is willing to drag other nations into his war against Britannia (which from the opening intro appears to actually only be in possession of the Americas, and not Europe, despite its name).

In the meantime we find out the whereabouts of some of the other characters of the cast (including that crazy girl who wanted to set off an atomic explosion at school, she isn't happy to see Zero again)

We also discover that Suzaku and the Emperor are now BFF. That and Rollo too possess the Geass (Geass users really seem to be growing exponentially this series)

There's nowhere I can't reach.
