Code Geass : A News and Fan Community

I thought I already said that I considered anime and manga series to be separate; same timeline or not. Not discrediting your opinion at all. My original comment was to clarify that Lelouch was in the picture, but image wasn't necessarily promoting the new anime series. I guess my use of AU is what set this off, but AU is just a term that I use when the original series is being explored in different way, or a way that was not originally intended. From the whole setup, it sounded like an AU story similar to the NoN, Suzaku or the Bakumatsu manga. (probably spamming poor biodamper's inbox (good thing lj's msging isn't working well).) I understand you that you don't consider it AU. That's perfectly ok. :)
