man ichirou okouchi sure does love his gay breakups huh

[ferhog]

If I may be so bold I think some G-Witch fans are overreacting a TAD bit.

Specifically the odd number of people saying that Sulemio has been "Decanonized" by this statement, or turned into "Retroactive queerbaiting". People, the company's social media saying that the relationship is "Up to interpretation" does not erase what the writers and artists put into the actual show. If you ask me the only sensible response is asking what substances Bandai is on that they consider THIS up to interpretation:

If future releases of the show start removing all this THEN we can panic, but I sincerely doubt Bandai wants to do that, otherwise they wouldn't have let it happen in the first place.

I may be optimistic here but I also don't think this means they're going to be shying away from the relationship in the future like many are fearing. Iron-Blooded Orphans was featuring blatant gay content half a decade before this show and that included confirming that two women were married in an interview after the show ended, so clearly the company isn't utterly terrified of this stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being a one-off incident (Which ISN'T to say that people shouldn't be angry about it by the way, I just think the wrong conclusions are being jumped to) especially since it seems to be receiving a negative reaction in both the English and Japanese spheres.

It's also worth noting that this stuff is almost certainly going on behind the scenes with a lot of franchises. Series like Nanoha and Symphogear are famously very sapphic but their lead couples have never kissed or verbally acknowledged their romantic relationship presumably because there's also men in charge who think there's more value in things being "Left to interpretation". Not saying that it being more common makes it okay. I just think that the people saying that they now want to drop the franchise over this should consider if that means they should give other franchises the same treatment. No moral consumption under capitalism and all that.

TLDR: I care more about what's in the show than whatever the PR team says. Ichirou Okouchi has been liking tweets of people praising the romance and art of the two kissing. He knows what he made.

Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 Sound Episode 2 // Not Canon (Crack)

For More information about the Sound Drama, check the post for the First Sound episode of R2 over there

Track List :

1 - ARABESQUE (Rolo's character song) 2 - Short Drama "Village of Kururugi, Hotel of Evil Spirits, Geass That's Really Really Scary" 3 - Short Drama "Naked Lelouch" 4 - ARABESQUE (Instrumental)

Arabesque, Rolo's character song, sung by Takahiro Mizushima

Audio Drama "The Village of Kururugi, Dwelling of Evil Spirits, A Really Scary Geass"

The Drama begins as Suzaku happens to be back at the Kururugi temple, musing about nostalgic memories of his past there, with Nunnally and Lelouch;

Lelouch, Gino, Anya, Rolo and C.C. have come to the Kururugi temple, seemingly to everyone's belief, to enjoy a festival, but it turns out they mistook Lelouch because he meant a matsuri (offering to the God living in the temple) and they understood omatsuri (festival) As Anya and C.C. are bored by the perspective, Gino wonders what Suzaku plans to do there, to which Lelouch replies he doesn't know but that the Kururugi temples isn't the same as most temple in Japan. Anya is seemingly wearing a miko garb, while Lelouch keeps on explaining things about how some stuff about this temple is weird, Gino and Anya are all about doing some cliche tourist stuff and Lelouch gets pissed at them not even trying to listen.

Suzaku then interrupts them, noticing how they have followed him only to discover what he planneds to do by coming over there; He also notices how Anya's miko isn't very miko like as she wears a very shot skirt; C.C. then mentions she once cosplayed with a similar miniskirt and Lelouch and Suzaku tried to imagine that before C.C. calls them back to reality.

Eventually Suzaku get his stuff ready to perform the ritual (which has nothing in common with usual shintoist ritual) as it involved the blood of a behaded chicken, a cursed straw doll and a sword which was drown in criminal's blood. Suzaku wants to seal demonic spirit for it is the role of the Kururugi temple, and the seal has weakened so it needs to be renewed.

Suzaku then begins to say basic stuff like "disappear evil spirit" to everyone's delusion as it is very simple and an evil spirit with emperor Charles's voice eventually appear; As Suzaku can't defeat the evil spirit he decides to use Lancelot but gets defeated anyway; Gino then uses tristan but gets killed, just like Rolo when he tries to use both his geass and his Vincent;

Lelouch then decides to step up and use an all time technique to defeat the spirit, which is to simply deny it's existence (okay this one was good, that is so Lelouch) before calling him out on his lack of closed relatives and him being an illusion. He also tries to use geass but it doesn't work; The spirit gets super angry at that and threatens to eat them all. Xing-ke and Tianzi suddenly intereferes, with Kaguya as well, Xing ke mentions that his family mastered several art like the ones of Feng Shui (…) and that he can defeat the spirit.

He then motivates everyone to yell a nonsensical formula to destroy the spirit, but after several trials it doesn't work and the spirit take out Xing-ke. The spirit then propose to avoid destroying them all if the most beautiful woman around is willing to give herself as a sacrifice; Upon hearing that, Girls begin to fight in order to decide who should be the sacrifice cause they all think they are the prettiest. Eventually C.C. decides to use the power of…Ichirou Okouchi in order to defeat the evil spirit which …works, since he is the creator of Code Geass. As all the survivors leave carefree and hungry we get a glimpse of all the defeated who have been left behind and ask for rescue.

Audio Drama "Naked Lelouch" You can listen to the original audio drama right here

This Drama is about the art week festival which happens in Ashford, and really begins when Rolo enters the student council room, visibly tired; Surprised, Milly wonders what's wrong and Rolo tells her it's because of the Art sessions, Shirley sighs and understands; Milly doesn't understand and they explain that Rolo is tired because he had to be a model for the other students because of the Art festival; as Milly is super disappointed to not know about it, Shirley summarizes the event and end up mentionning Lelouch was the model last year, to Milly and Rolo's surprise; She then imitates how people asked him to not move and to not change his expression ; Rolo gets all dere dere thinking about how it's similar to him; Milly on her side is very unhappy that she didn't knew and didn't witness Lelouch's demise; We then skip to Lelouch entrance, seemingly looking for Rolo to talk about cooking, when Milly welcomes him with a very well done Charles's imitation of his "RuRushuuu" before they switch to the topic of the art week; Milly wants Lelouch to get naked so they can draw him and of course, Lelouch doesn't want to; He begins to think of all the reasons why he doesn't want that, such as they might draw him poorly before he gets back on his feet and reminds Milly that if she forces him to be a nude model, she'd have his fans who'd blame her and she might lose her seat as president. Milly is shocked at his idea to use women against him but Lelouch is very satisfied with himself. Lelouch then proposes Rivalz as model, Rivalz seems ready to sacrifice himself for Milly's happiness but Milly…doesn't want him.

Meanwhile, Rolo is all admirative of his big brother being able to get out of it of his own before the attention shifts to him, Indeed if neither Lelouch or Rivalz can do it, Rolo will have to do it; Milly then compliments his look and makes him feel quite uncomfortable before Lelouch reminds him it's an order from the president of the student council, to which Rolo is like "Brother ?!" Rolo then begins to think about ways to get out of this mess without endangering Lelouch but suddenly Lelouch intervenes and reminds Milly that she can't have his little rother be naked in front of a crowd, to Rolo's relief; He then implies that to protect Rolo he'd be willing to do it but Rolo intervenes and says he'll do it if it's for Lelouch's sake; As they are in their very brother moment Milly realizes she is the mean one there while Rolo is all happy in his thoughts because Lelouch wanted to protect him; Suzaku eventually arrives, all cheerful as usual and as Milly begins to try and bribe him for her project with her super sweet voice he rejects her offer without even leaving her the chance to say it; Gino comes in after him shortly and the evil mind of Milly and Lelouch combined decide to have him be the prey, by talking about how Lelouch is the only one who can do what they need for the next event; Suzaku tries to warn him but is shut down by the others, and Gino falls into the trap because if Lelouch can do it, he can also do it; They manage to have everyone "agreeing", leading Gino to agree and he ends up in the position that you can imagine, much to Milly's satisfaction.

That's about it for This audio Drama, The second one could very well have happened as it's not pure crack, like the first one and last one of the R2 sound drama but it's a mess so it's up to you how you want to consider it; Hope you enjoyed ~

Gwitch has a lot of Utena in its DNA.

The fandom has considered Code Geass to be... a cousin, of sorts. Ichirou Okouchi has now worked on Utena (novels), Code Geass, and Gundam (GWitch, Turn A Gundam, 08th MS Team novel).

Hey folks, Cis Guy who’s barely queer and has literally no experience with Gundam here, is The Witch From Mercury good? Like aside from the gay ppl (which is awesome) is it good? Will me not having any context on deeper Gundam stuff be okay or will I be lost? I mean it looks good but like do y’all recommend it?

Cus I’ve been seeing you all freak out about it so like… should I watch it?

[restekova]

one of my favorite writers was up to some shenanigans yesterday

[eaudebla]

Crybaby’s sound dubbing work is all done. 

Picture with Ichirou Okouchi (Script), Masaaki Yuasa (Director), and Kensuke Ushio (Music).

trinity

why don’t i just…. post this by itself cause i can already tell im gonna be using it a lot

[monkeyfaced-trickster]

Ladies, gents and enbies, we're getting a prequel miniseries! And Telecom's involved, so you know the animation's gonna get UH-MAY-ZING!!

Quite a bunch of Part 5's crew return for this one. We have Daisuke Sakou in the director's seat, who was the chief animation director on Part 5's divisive yet visually stunning finale (and also wrote and storyboarded the pinkjacket episode), Ichirou Okouchi returns for series composition, and character design is supplied by Asami Taguchi, who was the assistant character designer on Part 4. One interesting change is the music composer: Instead of Yuji Ohno, Otomo Yoshihide will be filling in, and judging by what we hear from the trailer, it will be harkening back to the more eclectic style of jazz from Part 1.

Needless to say, I'm beyond excited!

[dagmartoons]

man ichirou okouchi sure does love his gay makeup hand symbolism huh

[largo-265]

This post is a summary of notes posted on Twitter by participants of the talk event 'Listening to Ten Years of Screenwriter Ichiro Okochi' held on April 17.

For more information about Okouchi, please refer to wikipedia.

In this event, he talks about many of the works he was involved in, but I will only extract the one about 'sk8'.

Note: That the source of the quote is the tree of tweets linked to this post. See also.

---------------------------------------------

For Okouchi, sk8 was the first project where he expected to have more female fans than male.

But essentially speaking, sk8 is a project for director Utsumi. Pleasing her is the most important task. It didn't have to be a hit anime, but he tried his best to write a script that would satisfy her.

Utsumi had a deep affection for the characters, and she would read the scripts his wrote and offer her opinions such as "this character would never say this" or "this is somehow not cute." etc.

However, Joe (Kojirou) and Cherry (Kaoru) were about half different from his image and hers. But Utsumi liked his image and adopted it.

Unlike many sports stories, sk8 is not a story about club activities, so it's good that both adults and young people appear in the story. Adults can't go back to the time and relationships they once had, but Reki and Langa can. That's what makes it so precious and bright.

sk8 is the story of Reki and Langa. It's about what makes them happy and what they have to overcome. So the relationship with Adam is not that important except for the "S". (He didn't give any extra description.)

Every strong character has someone who serves by their side. (About Ainosuke and Tadashi.) The presence of an entourage prevents the character from becoming just a funny or ridiculous guy. It makes the character's appearance and statements more convincing.

He thinks Code Geass and sk8 are similar, because they have love and hate at their core. Reki and Langa are different, but the adult group is quite similar.

He thought wouldn't be too long between Ep7 and Ep10, but the viewers and staff said "please make up hurry!" It was lovely and fun to see so many posts that showed how many people loved sk8.

"Successful script" is one that produces a visual work that is more interesting than the script it was written for. His already knew what it was about, but he really enjoyed watching sk8 every week. Ex: "I never thought he had such a beautiful smile in this scene!", "I never thought he would grow wings in this scene!"

sk8 is a very good anime because that went beyond the script.

[ayumicchi14]

Now that someone mention it...

I'm surprised. But if I looked back at the trilogy compilation movie... So that's how it were. No wonder that the movie were so focused on C.C. and Lelouch relationship. Also I remembered that Okouchi Ichirou said in Fukkatsu interview that he want to make C.C. happy. Glad that Sunrise gave them a chance and space to pour some of their ideas.

Hmm I don't know that Taniguchi and Okouchi are a shipper too 😏 /slap

Oh also, it's ironic that masquarade song was actually LuluShirley theme, but if you look at the lyrics, the lyrics itself fit more with LuluC 🤔

Well it's funny to found out that the creator themselves are actually a massive LxC supporter 😂

I don't know if this is true or not, but it's nice to know. Should I stalk Taniguchi's twitter? /slapslap

[codegeassfacts]

Ichirou Okouchi x Clamp // Suzaku Mutality artbook Novel // Canon

Those Novels were written By Ichirou Okouchi in order to fit Illustrations made by Clamp; In the Mutuality artbook he talks about how difficult of a work it was to actually come up with ideas for those while basing himself on their works and how he finally chose to write a sort of prologue to each picture;

This is the Suzaku's point of view story, happening While Lelouch, Suzaku and C.C. have gone in hiding between Turn 21 and...the end of Turn 21. When they came up with Zero requiem.

*** My own words : Even though this picture is about Suzaku and C.C., just like within the Zero requiem, they still barely interacted.

There is also a very long interview of Mokona x Taniguchi, I'm thinking of translating it, but's it's insanely long and not everything is of interest, maybe i'll just select some part and add some of their comments about some of their illustrations.

Zero Requiem always makes me sad.

"Don't be so cold. Actually, I came to invite you on a date."

There was a slight pause before Saionji's tentative response.

"Me?"
