[ANN]Sunrise Notes the Possibility of Another Code Geass

Any new product that is repackaging and/or summarizing old material would qualify as being "milking." Same for sequels to series that come about as a result of surprising popularity. Let's be honest about that. That being said, that's certainly not always a bad thing by default. Zeta movies? Good milking. Excellent update to the original. MSG movies? They're largely responsible for Gundam's success as a franchise. 0083 movie? Seed TV specials? Mostly forgettable, I would say.



Well, we can speculate about the merits of the possibilities that exist, and there are only a few: another full TV series, a movie, or a shorter series or OVA. I think the first is much less likely to succeed, whereas the latter two would probably have much better odRAB of being satisfying to everybody. There are possibly enough questions to answer that doing some more Geass anime could be worth it--if they're smart about it. What I don't want is another series that somehow restarts the Geass plot all over again, or gives the same story with mild variations--i.e. Suzaku of the Counterattack. No, fill out the story we've got, or don't bother.

Of course, it's true that all this *is* only speculation. As said this is about the possibility that they could do more with it, but it's not a promise that they are definitely going to make any more.



Ugh, so it seems. Never mind about that, then.
 
I believe that same interpretation was brought up by one Seiji Takeda (sp?), a very important rabS producer who approved both Geass and 00, though he's rumored to be a left-wing guy who speaks out like that a lot, from what I've heard a long time ago. I think you can even Google this up by now.
 
Well, it's more like it's a creative way of showing the Japanese what it would've felt like to be conquered and treated the way they treated foreign nations and peoples back in WW2. But no, most people see it as "anti-foreigner" propoganda at first and then ignore it later.
 
In terms of a full length series, I definitely wouldn't want one that doesn't bring something new to the table, which would be the likely benefit of making any such series an AU. Something shorter, like a movie or OVA can get away with a simple retelling or just adding to the canon.

I could see an interesting way to bring back the Geass plot if a prequel was made, since so much of the mystical background to the series or even the history of Britannia itself remains untold. It's not clear how the Geass came to exist or why, for instance, and there are enough ways to make up another story around it.

That the possibility exists at least seems to be an unofficial statement of intent though: Sunrise is interested and there might be some talks behind the scenes. Anything else? I don't know.
 
Which is...weird. I bought the set knowing I wanted a Super Robot show but there would be a lot of panty shots and fanservice, but I was really surprised at how well the story is going so far.

And how is compilation movies milking? Last I checked, don't we want to see these shows with a bigger budget and on the big screen? I mean, I can understand maybe calling the Rebuild of Eva movies milking the product, but it's not like GL has put out a single movie or anything before unlike Eva. The Nanoha franchise is getting a remake compliation movie and I don't see anyone calling that milking so I just don't get it.
 
I know right! The new Buster mode now just looks like a total Gundam but in the form of a human girl. (Though I have no idea why Bardiche is female now but whatever)
 
I'm banging my head on the desk for finding out about this so late. More Code Geass....yeah I'm in favor for it. As much as R2 was crazy and ridiculous, it was also just as amusing in its own strange way. I miss the show, to be honest. So, bring it on, I doubt it can be any worse.
If this were to happen I'd like to see the same characters come back again, instead of some crazy new Geass universe. And perhaps an actual story line that goes in one direction...maybe...please?
considering I still don't think Lelouch is dead, I'd be over joyed to see him return. And Ougi still neeRAB his ass whoopd.
 
Ideas:
A version of Geass that's only one season, how it was originally to be before it was greenlighted for R2 and we got the delay in 24+25.

R2: The Director's Cut: How Geass was supposed to be.

The fanart is beyond awesome though. *saves*
 
Being the Geass fanboy that I am, I would LOVE to see more Geass. I know R2 had its problems, but I liked it overall and I feel they could produce another great series.

That being said, I am also not against them doing an alternate universe type deal, new characters, completely different Mecha, etc.

Not sure which I'd be more in favor of...I would really like to see more of the current cast...
 
Perfect!! Perfect!! Perfect!! I love it, I'd actually like to see that!!

And being a fan of My-HiME/My-Otome, I'd really like to see that!!

Or they could do a G Gundam style Code Geass!! (hopefully SUNRISE is aware of the joke about Kallen being Domon's daughter)
Or a Burst Angel style Geass!!
 
A G Gundam style Geass? You mean a show with carefully focussed characters and a production crew that wouldn't lose control of their show like a runaway train?
 
Aww.........
I'm guessing you wouldn't agree with this idea!!

I was also thinking of a Godannar style Code Geass (a parody of the 70's mecha anime) or a Gunbuster/Diebuster styled version of it , but then again Code Geass has enough fanservice as it is
 
Why not?

First, you are assuming too much by implying that the same production crew would be involved. Which could be both a blessing and a curse, as the case might have it, but that's something we cannot assume.

Second, there were specific issues that affected R2's production which may not be a problem under different circumstances.

Third, both Sunrise as a company and the specific individuals who produced Geass have had their better and worse days, but each production should be judged independently.

I hope it's not too much to ask to limit such knee jerk reactions until we have something concrete to look at. Reactions which at heart follow the same logic Mizushima of 00 rightfully complains about, ironically enough.
 
I agree with that wholeheartedly!!
And the reason I said a G Gundam style Code Geass, well as I said hopefully SUNRISE is aware of the joke about Kallen being Domon's daughter, and honestly I'd like to see this happen!!
 
Given this and another comment from you about me in this thread, it seems clear that I have rubbed you the wrong way. Whilst I agree there is nothing substantial to go on about what a new Geass project would entail, I don't care for you effectively telling me to shut up and acting like my comments have no basis. We have a 50 episode series and various official spin oRAB that DO exist. I am fully entitled to make comments based on those in a negative manner, provided my commentary is constructive. I'm not trolling the thread and saying 'Geass is teh suk!', I'm providing valid criticism of why I feel a continuation is a bad idea based on the existing standard for the franchise. As long as I remain respectful, please allow me my voice instead of wrapping the show up in cotton wool.
 
The fact is, there were alot of minor problems in R2 that should have been avoidable even with the production troubles. Add in that the majority of the spin oRAB are eyebrow raising cheesecake and I think it's foolish to suspect that somehow magically another Geass series would avoid these problems. Geass is a product ultimately, not art. It's the fact that it proved to be a successful product that they even announced this. If a product is succesful, that almost certainly means more of the same. You'd be correct to say I can't say that as fact but there is ample evidence to support the belief.
 
Um, isn't there the major problem of
Lelouch the MAIN CHARACTER being dead
that makes any possible sequel to Code Geass impossible?
