[Update] Code Geass GAIDEN

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

Geass.jp has updated with news on their new project that they've begun working on. It looks like there will be more information released in the summer.

If someone can translate any other new information, that'd be great.

And here's the Code Geass article in Newtype 6.

And once more, Google Translate demonstrates it's suckitude.

The only (coherent) things of interest I could find on that webpage was that Boukoku no Akito is only a tentative title, and might change, and from the Taniguchi & Okuichi comments that though there were a lot of calls for a sequel, they decided to go with "expansion" instead of a continuation.

Oh, and that there may be more "expansion" in the future, so fans should stay tuned.

Someone who can actually read Japanese ought to take a proper look. And at the Taniguchi interview in the scan.

I think a Code Geass without its original characters isn't Code Geass. Instead of a sequel or expansion, I'd rather have backstory. And not that timeskipping with Goro Taniguchi crap either, real backstory not "fan" fic.

Is the metal arm dude Lelouch's proxy in that Edo era manga or what?

I hope this side story retains at least some of the original main cast. I really couldn't care less about all the irrelevant Elevens even in the original anime, let alone about a whole new set of them.

Personally, I'm happy with there not being a sequel or back story. As much as I'll miss the characters, that story is over and if they try to expand on it at all I think they'd ruin it.

Bring on the new series, I'm ready for a new story and set of characters to love just as much as the original.

I really have mixed feelings about it. I'm going to really try and take it as a completely different series though...

I guess I might be one of the few people really, really confused about this.

What the crap is going on?

I think they shouldnt be calling it code geass...since code geass basically means c.c, lelouch, suzaku, knightmares, geass. From what ive heard of this manga, only c.c and geass are in it...i dont care if they put a lelouch-alias or suzaku-alias...i want the REAL lelouch...nobody messes with lelouch >o! if they screw this up, i'm slry gonna bomb clamp up! :D
