Newtype Gaiden Scans! Sort of.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

So, scans of this month's Newtype have made their way online, and we finally have some more information about the upcoming Code Geass Gaiden, Boukoku no Akito.

And by "more information" I mean Knightmare Frame designs.





Anyone care to translate the article to see if there is any other new information there?

Also, for those who weren't aware, three chapters of Shikkoku no Renya have been scanlated so far.

I always thought /and the way it was presented in season 1 ops and covers etc./ that the four main charas were Lelouch, Suzaku, C.C. and Kallen. /granted, Lelouch being the main-main of course, duh. default. it;s his story afterall/
It is true, that Suzaku gets development on his own. I think there was potential for C.C. to get a similar treatment while Kallen had less but apparently, R2 kind of messed it up a bit. Who knows what could have happened if the original script was not discarded?

and i meant, original script for R2, wth self. way too sleepy now.

I do agree on the main characters thing, it's just that even in the first season, Kallen and C.C.'s narratives are very much subservient to Lelouch's (their development is mostly in how they relate to Lelouch, or what he finds out about them) while Suzaku's is more parallel - and thus seperate. And that carries over in R2, just even more so.

No idea about the original script, except the Suzaku connection to Geass was supposed to be in there somewhere - what did the other characters have dropped (I hope Kallen had something - for a main character she gets less individual development than some of the minor ones).

Yeah, i agree with that. Lelouch/Suzaku dynamic is really important on the series but both of them have other stuff they need to attend to. /of course Lelouch more, since the show focuses on him more than any other chara anyway/
While C.C. and Kallen, are mostly connected to Lelouch's strings.

Well, the R2 original script had quite a few stuff worth mentioning. The Suzu-Geass stuff you already mentioned, C.C.'s backstory and Geass origins getting explored more and other stuff that i cannot really recall now. /for Kallen i cannot remember much since the whole ruckus was around her gumline that was never included in the series, so yeah, everything else got clouded back then. Someone once mentioned something about Naoto i believe, her bro and her past getting a focus on and some more Lelouch/Kallen interaction but tbh, i cannot guarantee about that, way too many trolls in the forums/comms then, hehe.
