Despite the show's popularity, fans have been eagerly waiting for news about a third season of Code Geass. In this article, we will explore the rumors and speculations about when Code Geass season 3 will arrive and what fans can expect from it.

The first two seasons of Code Geass were released in 2006 and 2008, respectively, and fans have been waiting for more than a decade for a third season.

The announcement was made at a special event to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the first season. However, since then, there has been little news about the progress of the third season.

Others believed that it would be released in 2021, but again, there was no news about it. Currently, the most likely release date for Code Geass season 3 is in 2022. However, this is still just speculation, and fans will have to wait for an official announcement from the producers to confirm this.

Fans are excited about the prospect of a third season of Code Geass, and many have been speculating about what they can expect from it.

Lelouch's death was a powerful moment in the show, and many fans are curious to see how his absence will affect the other characters and the world he helped create.

Another aspect that fans are hoping to see in season 3 is the return of some of the beloved characters from the previous seasons. Code Geass has a rich cast of characters, and fans are eager to see what new adventures and challenges they will face in the third season.

[Trans] Director Taniguchi interview from Resurrection pamphlet

By the request of the pamphlet’s owner, I won’t post the full look of the pamphlet. Just contact me if you want to see the Japanese text on some section, but please be moderate and don’t ask for the whole thing.

--After the movie trilogy, now it’s “Lelouch of the Resurrection”. Since when did you come up with the concept of this work production?

Taniguchi: Since quite a while ago. In retrospect, at early stage of the TV series planning, this work's concept already existed. At the beginning of the TV series planning, naturally I thought about in what kind of ‘form’ the conclusion would take shape. Then as this series welcoming its 10th anniversary, and its world has expanded, I thought “this time, let’s put them together into a ‘form’”.

--At that time, what kind of ending was it going to be?  

Taniguchi: It was something similar to this “Resurrection”. However, because a production is something that's perfected as you're making it, I do believe that TV is TV's one answer.

--So this work is created to draw that ending concept?

Taniguchi: For me, “to make something that fans would enjoy” is all there is. While affirming TV series as TV series, this time I wanted to expand the world of “Code Geass” in a broader sense. The feeling that I wanted to present this as one possibility is really strong. Because a work is a living thing, this work won’t be able to survive without the support of the fans. First of all we would like to express our gratitude to the fans who have given their support. At the same time, we also would like to welcome those who experienced “Code Geass” for the first time. With this work, we're considerably mindful of the first time viewers so that they'll also be able to enjoy it.

--When you're formulating the detailed story, what did you decide on as the axis?

Taniguchi: In the making of this work, the first thing I talked about with Okouchi Ichiro-san is "Let's make a fan movie that would make fans happy. However, with only that new viewers won't be able enter, so let's make the story easy to understand". Eventually we had a prolonged discussion on which points that would need to be compromised.

--In the end, the KMF is renewed, a new enemy also comes out, and it became a showcase of all-star.

Taniguchi: Since we're going to do it anyway, I didn't want to do it half-bakedly. Since the very beginning, we created "Lelouch of the Rebellion" by taking on board every elements that make up the work and elements that please the fans as much as we could. We're scraping things off not for the sake of narrowing the scale. Even though this time it's somewhat unreasonable because we're making it as an extension of "Lelouch of the Rebellion" trilogy, we take everything on board anyway. Well looking from another perspective, nowadays it's impossible to do this kind of work in a TV series. First the production site won't be able to handle it, then viewers also don't want to see this kind of dark works in TV anime. However if we lighten it, it won't be "Lelouch" anymore, so we decided that there's no other choice but to do it in a theatrical movie. If there's something I want to add, is that I think if it's for "Code Geass", there is an opening to do dark work in TV anime. However I think it would be difficult to do "Lelouch arc" within that 'opening'.

--How did you come up with the newly appearing country, Zilkstan?

Taniguchi: We already used Asia with Chinese Federations, and aristrocatic elements have been left to Britannia. Regarding E.U., "Akito the Exiled" already touched on it. In the world power map that was in my initial draft, I turned Antarctica into a country named "Penguin Empire", but we can't have an empire of penguin as the enemy (laugh). Narrowing down to the areas that we haven't done before, then around Arab or Africa. However, it seems the audience will be confused as to how to cut out certain ethnic or religion, then we might as well create a country. When the world was roughly divided into Britannia and UFN in "Imperial Road", there were still areas that don't belong to anywhere yet, so I figured to solidify that setting more firmly. Even though it's a new country, I want it to have persuasive power, and the foothold have to be solid so that the fantasy element "geass" can be supported, so I built it with discussing with each staff, while consulting with concept designer Teraoka-san, Hishinuma-san from art department, and researcher Shirado-san...

--A mercenary country that sends out mercenaries to other countries as an exchange of not having resources. Within the country itself there seems to be disparity as well.

Taniguchi: When the country is hiring out soldiers to other countries, people who have money will come along because they'll have a chance to build relationship with other countries. On one side, there's an area where rich people from abroad live, while on the other side, there are also local religious facilities. People who work for those religious facilities live in poor neighborhoods. It's a country with such structure. Because the capital is the entrance for the customers from abroad who come to buy the country's military power, there are railways and highways there. Behind the flowery part of the city, there's an exact opposite area. However, as identity as a country is necessary, the more I think about the foundation of the country, the more it becomes plain pictorially, so I was intentionally careful in how to capture the parts that aren't so.

--The character from Zilkhstan that you particularly emphasize?

Taniguchi: It's Chalio. Thinking about a character that holds his own against Suzaku, it has to be a character who has already given up on tomorrow. Should I call him a character that will be acceptable as Suzaku's opponent? While for Kallen and the others' enemies, I balanced it by introducing super modern weapons and ridiculously large stuffs. Although Suzaku and Chalio both have special machines, I wanted him to be a balanced pilot in a different way from Suzaku. His body doesn't move the way he wants it to, but he still charges ahead with obsession alone. That's the part we did thoroughly.

--Chamna and Chalio as siblings, are they supposed to be a contrast to Lelouch and Nunnally?

Taniguchi: Well, there’s awareness of it. But country-wise there's not much connection, after all the older sister is the religious leader, and the younger brother Chalio is the king. Although there's actually an idea to put Forgner on the side as a political counselor, but if Chamna controls both politics and religion, it will end up becoming a religious state. As you may have understood by seeing it, Chamna can use her geass multiple times, conversely, it's a contrast to Lelouch who risked his life just once. Because for Chamna, the direction she's facing has already completed since the beginning, she's almost completely free of doubts and hesitations.

--How about the highlights on the production side?

Taniguchi: The production was fully improved. The outfits, the hair presentations, even the filming processing, we renewed everything. I did things I couldn't do enough in TV series, like putting gradation on certain characters' hairs. On the action side, first I increased the amount of true-to-life hand-to-hand actions. Starting from there, old-type KMF gradually became the latest model. As I imagined the sensation of the whole thing heating up, I think it's good that this kind of flow came out.

--Your thoughts on the casts, such as Fukuyama-san?

Taniguchi: Because they're the people I've had the privilege to work with for a long time, the feelings are deep indeed. It's difficult to control everyone individually when you're building the characters. Even with the power of our animators, eventually we need to have logic to run through the voice play too. It's something only voice actors can do, so I trust and respect them. That's why there are times I gave them instructions like "At minimum you should do this much work" or "Everyone should already understand the balance there" (laugh). The balance there is achieved while consulting the sound director, but unlike during TV start, this time everyone has already understood that. All the actors who newly joined in this time have individuality so each of them is interesting, if I was to say it then Chalio-kun's voice actor, Murase Ayumu's peculiar sense of distance is very good. I first met him a few years ago, but he hasn't changed at all. Whereas Fukuyama-kun is a real bother (laugh), he's truly similar to Lelouch. But that's a good thing, so this is a compliment.

--While "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" is also a picaresque romance, as you have been depicting the character named Lelouch for 10 years, what do you feel?

Taniguchi: Though he appears to be  "dark", Lelouch is actually an honest person. The things he wants to do and his goals appear to be wholesome for some people, while for others they might seem "dark". If you make a character of justice deliberately do something that goes against the justice that character upholds, at that moment that character will become a lie. The things that Lelouch do, looking at the result, can only be seen as something dark from outsiders' point of view. Since he's only acting according to the goal he sets himself, he's totally unshakable. From the start, with this series, I thought of making it about the building process of the 'enemy' organization. Actually, that was also the underlying theme of "Code Geass".

--What do you feel now about "Lelouch of the Rebellion" series?  

Taniguchi: I feel grateful that "Code Geass" became a series, and that it has become something that's possible to aim for diversified expansion. "Lelouch of the Resurrection" is a reply for those who have supported "Lelouch of the Rebellion". I'm also very grateful for the privilege of being given such opportunity. I've been thinking about it, but this series is blessed. Various people helped and came to join us, and good things came out in unexpected shape. A work that includes all of those aspects, I'm really grateful to be able to get involved in such work.

--At last, please tell us your favorite scene in this movie.

Taniguchi: What I thought as something that came out better than expected, it’s the Zilkhstan animals. Like the birds in the wilderness and the chickens at the village. Also somewhere in the middle, ferrets appear in just one cut. This scene has been pointed out since the storyboard that "This is ferret". Please try to look for where it comes out by all means.

Code Geass Resurrection Spoiler in relation to the 10th Anniversary of Steins;Gate

If Code Geass can get Lelouch x C.C. officially canon for its 10th anniversary, then Steins;Gate should finally put Okabe and Kurisu together as a couple for its 10th anniversary too. 

[bittertomato]

1-15, Misaka Mikoto. 😘😘😘

HAHAHAHHAHA *INTERNAL SCREAMING*

Thanks Mika XD

1. how long have i known about them

Since like… 2013 I think?? I forgot when I started watching Railgun. It was when Railgun S was already airing. My friend had actually recommended the anime to me before that, but I told her it didn’t interest me.

Fun fact, that was probably me denying anything gay. Not that Railgun is specifically gay but it’s pretty not straight okay.

2. whether or not they’ve ever made me cry

Yeah from sheer frustration at all the stupidity she goes through lol. It’s been how many volumes and Mikoto still doesn’t understand magic and the stuff Touma goes through? It’s been how many volumes since Mikoto has worn actual clothes??? KAMACHI PLEASE HAVE MIKOTO AND MISAKI CHANGE INTO ACTUAL CLOTHES THEY ARE IN LONDON IN THE DEAD OF WINTER CAN YOU PLEASE-

3. whether or not i have any merchandise/objects with them

Okay so besides her nendo (where I’ve had her trade outfits with Saber lol), I also have this super cool clearfile celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Railgun manga:

That is definitely Mikoto with her “gal pal” Kuroko. Yep. Totally just gal pals.

4. what about their personality i like

SHE’S SUPER COOL. Besides her tsundereness for Touma, I don’t think there’s any part of her that I don’t like. She’s a tomboy who wears shorts under her skirt (though part of the reason is because she wears kinda childish underwear and she’s a bit embarrassed about that). She kicks ass and has a strong sense of justice. She’s fourteen.

5. what about their backstory makes me emotional

She was barely eight years old when the researchers in Academy City scammed her of her DNA map and made military clones of her. And when they realized they couldn’t clone her potential to reach level 5, they reallocated the clones to a different experiment where they were basically mass murdered for research.

Mikoto doesn’t find out about this until later, but it just really gets me because at the time this literal child just wanted to help other people (suffering from neurological damages like Muscular Dystrophy) but she basically gave the evil people the key to do all their future evil deeds. She didn’t know but it still haunts her to this day.

My poor child.

6. the moment of theirs that made me the saddest

When she was about to give up her own life to stop the Level 6 experiment by letting Accelerator kill her. I hate Touma being a big damn hero, but at that time I was glad for his deus ex machina. Cus otherwise Mikoto would have died for nothing because like the idiot said, “No one would be happy in the end.”

Especially after seeing her side of the Sister’s Arc, we know how hard she tried. In Index it was just Touma meeting Mikoto and stopping her from committing suicide. But in Railgun we see all the shit Mikoto went through- and then all for nothing because she can’t stop it on her own. The fact that this child who was used to being OP (as the third Level 5), did her absolute best, and couldn’t change anything just broke my heart.

I was never a fan of my favorite characters crying, but god did this girl go through hell. I came so damn close to crying.

Nothing tops Euphemia’s death from Code Geass though.

7. the moment of theirs that made me the happiest

ALL OF THEM DON’T MAKE ME PICK. ANY TIME SHE COMES ON THE SCREEN I’M SCREAMING.

I guess just the fact that this girl is so popular that she has her own spinoff series that is equally as popular as the main series.

8. something about them that made me laugh

She’s always calling Touma an idiot and not understanding why he doesn’t ask for help more when she DOES THE EXACT SAME THING HAHAHAHA. SHE’S ALSO A BIG DAMN HERO ALSDKJFDSKLFJ. The irony is funny.

9. my favorite canon outfit of theirs

Hm. This is a tie between her winter school uniform:

Her “infiltration” outfit during Railgun’s Sister Arc:

And her rebooted “infiltration” outfit during the Dream Ranker Arc:

Sorry but I’m not a fan of her summer uniform.

10. my favorite moment with them in canon

I CAN’T PICK. Honestly any moment when her opponents underestimate her because they don’t realize she’s the third Level 5. If I had to pick, I guess maybe during the Dream Ranker Arc when she’s fighting against Seike? Her hat gets knocked off and once recognizing her, Seike stares at Mikoto with an “oh we fucked up” face and gets electrocuted XD

11. my favorite relationship they have with another character

With Kuroko: Kuroko is Mikoto’s OG partner until she started getting involved in things that she’d rather Kuroko not get involved in. But they still work together, like the current Jailbreaker arc where they’re both bleeding and injured wow. They also both have a strong sense of justice, so they’re the perfect crime fighting duo. Even though Kuroko keeps insisting that Mikoto is just a civilian XD

Ngl though… Kuroko is really weird. But only when she’s around Mikoto. She’s actually very level headed and practical when Mikoto isn’t in the vicinity.

With Misaki: Surprisingly they work together; once they’ve gotten past their mutual animosity toward each other. They’ve cooperated together in Railgun first during the Daihasei (a shaky start), a little better during the Dream Ranker Arc, then also analyzing the AAA to break through the Windowless Building in NT19 (or something; I forget). As Junko says, they make the perfect infiltrating duo because Mikoto can hack while Misaki alters human memories.

Misaki hasn’t had a lot of anime screentime yet so no good gifs of her with Mikoto orz

12. what i like about the way the fandom portrays them

Well, she’s certainly well liked so she has a lot of content (canon and fanworks).

13. what i dont like about the way the fandom portrays them

I… don’t feel like fanfics illustrate her full badassery? Idk just my thought. Not that there are very many Toaru fics aside from shipping her with Touma in the first place.

14. what i liked about the way canon portrayed them

Again, she’s popular so she’s relevant even in the Index side of things. And I’m glad the Railgun side story exists to really give Mikoto a chance to shine (without the presence of a certain misfortunate idiot). Also having Mikoto interact with people not Touma.

Her character’s also very complex. It’s often easy to forget that she’s only fourteen and allowed her flaws. But she’s certainly the type that I look for in fictional characters (the talented aces who seem like high class unapproachable ojou-samas but they’re actual stupidly quirky, altruistic, and possesses a strong sense of justice).

15. what i dont like about the way canon portrayed them

I hate how the only way for Mikoto to be relevant in the Index side is if she’s tsundere-ing over Touma. I guess I can only find decent Mikoto characterization in her side story…

*+* Megahouse Code Geass Lelouch Rebellion R2 Zero (10Th Anniversary Figure Ver) Gem https://ift.tt/336H5u5

[whiteboxgems]

After a year of celebrations for the 10th anniversary of the original series, the first of the retelling movies--Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion: The Awakening Path--opened in Japan yesterday. In the lead-up to that, Code Geass main writer Ōkouchi Ichirō posted about some of the memories he had from working on the original series. Since Geass is probably the show that started my interest in anime pre-production, there was no way I would not translate them. And boy did it bring back the memories! Perhaps it’s time I dig up those old books and start figuring out what happened all those years ago!

p.s. I also did parts 2 (Spoiler warning!), 3 and 4, for those who are interested.

[mononoke-no-ko]

Hello. Why do you think that they decided to continue the Code Geass history? What do you thought when they announced Resurrection? Were you happy? Upset? Were you angry with the changes that they did?

Why indeed. Well in a way, it’s not like Code Geass as a franchise has ever really ‘stopped’ either. The TV series ended in 2008, Akito was announced in 2010 and it ended in 2016, at the same time Renya (2010-2013) and OZ (2012-2016) were also being serialized, then at the end of 2016 we got Resurrection announcement. In between original TV series and Akito there were novels, manga, fanbooks, games, etc. However if they want to continue this franchise, which is evident from their constant release of new products related to the franchise, at some point they have to continue the story right? It’s not like they can keep making spin-offs without end up harming the established worldview while trying to ‘expand’ it. There’s only so much spin-offs can do too. Hence Resurrection, I guess.

When Resurrection was announced, I was surprised though not really. I already had a hunch with them hyping the 10th anniversary, combined with my thoughts above. I was and am curious as to how they’ll continue it. Mostly I’m just excited to see the same cast again, and I just want the ‘old’ Code Geass feel back. If this was announced in like, 2012, I would’ve been very upset, thinking a sequel would ruin the ending and everything. But, I got older lol. Let’s just say now I see things differently. 

I felt more like ‘it’s a pity’ with some of the changes they did. Especially with how they removed some of Lelouch’s character growth. How he lost to Cornelia at the beginning because of his overconfidence, how he got a reality check with Shirley’s father, etc. It doesn’t harm the story or the message of the story as a whole, but I think there’s some nuance and depth that I really appreciated in the TV series that are missing in the movies. It’s a pity.
