Sunrise demands removal of fanart, screencaps etc.

Not exactly Code Geass related, but Sunrise. Still an interesting read though.

Though the article is safe, the website and images is NSFW; wait till you get home guys.

I understand they have the right to 'protect' their work, but ugh... v__v (Though I do agree on the banning of KuroKami...)

Someone should tell Sunrise that the main reason their stuff get popular worldwide is due to fandom. At least I've started watching Geass after seeing a friend's fanart of Lelouch.

And then I've spent 30 dollars in official Geass merchandise :D, they shouldn't be complaining!

Hope it doesn't affect non-Japanese sites... I mean, I can't post fanart on their sponsored sites by the simple fact that I don't know Japanese o_O.

I agree.
The reason I even started to watch Code Geass (and Gundam 00 too) was because of all fanart I saw.

I believe that fancreations is a way for an anime to continue to 'live on', even after the show itself has ended.

IAWTC. So hard.
