(Possible) Geass OAV AND movie !!!!!?

[lulu-quality.livejournal.com]

The Geass main site just updated with information that there is a possibility that there will be a OAV AND a movie treatment if my translation is correct. Awesome news XD! Also, it seems the airing schedule for ep. 24 and 25 is still uncertain.

Information from here:

Erm, that announcement is actually.....fairly discomforting. It doesn't say there might be OAVs and movies...

What it said is "We have not decided yet whether the continuation [of Code Geass Season 1] would be a TV series, OAV, or motion picture".

So we might just get Code Geass Zwei instead of Code Geass Season 2. I would LOVE THEM FOREVER if we get OAV supplement, but not the continuation. DDDD:

I haven't been really caught up with the news lately.. so I had no idea what those first few setneces were implying... I only wrote directly what I saw, it's odd.

It did give me the impression it felt more like bad news than good news for some reason, yeah. Just by context.

*blinks* Hai? (I did not, er, look through comments. Was there anything I said wrong...?)

I'm not too worried, since with CG's popularity it'd be silly to make it into OAVs. And movies are unlikely to answer all the remaining questions, so...but it's not encouraging that they feel the need to mention it. :s

I don't know why it's even an issue with them since isn't Geass one of the hottest shows out in Japan right now?

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

I think it's the hottest show, even. Hard to find the three big-name mags without a Geass cover...and even when it doesn't, it always has a booklet or a scoop.

*sigh* For now, I'll just focus on bitching until we get the final two episodes before I decide what I really want out of a Geass sequel.

Nope, not really. I was just saying when I was attempting to translate... I could translate b/c I didn't know the news too well, so all I did was translate directly. XD;

Ohhhh, I see. I dunno, really. o.o I guess you could look at it that way.
I thought it was just there to reinforce the idea.

This is disturbing. >_< I want a TV series damnit. One, we get to see episodes on a weekly basis (I need my CG fix!) and two a TV series would probably be longer. That means more time to really wrap up the series in a proper manner. An OAV and Movie on top of a second TV series would be fabulous, but not as a replacement. I don't get it? The show seems popular, there shouldn't even be a debate about it having a second TV season.

[kur0ma.livejournal.com]

I'm not very sure either.. but perhaps there were rumors of it and they just wanted to clarify? I don't really know.

[empanadas]

I sure hope second season = second TV series. =o Because if not, there might be a lot of things left unanswered.

Marketing tactics, I guess? Create uncertainty to generate continuous interest and all that rot. Code Geass is freaking popular as it is...everyone on the Japanese fandom also pretty much assumed it'll be a TV series. I see no reason other than that for the crew to debate.

UNLESS THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PLOT LEFT WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE.
