Code Geass Official Information

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Just a heads up, Episode 23 draws a line between 'season 1' and 'season 2'.
Episode 24 and 25 will be aired starting from Summer of this year.
(I'm guessing, even if they say summer it'll be August since summer break for us (Japan) is the month of August. The second season will be around fall... if not next spring. Also, I have 24 will be like a 'review' episode... but that's just me)
This means Code Geass will be taking a 'break', and will be momentarily stopped.

This is no rumor and official information.

Also, if any one wants the RAWs of the previous episodes, comment. I'll upload it for you.

(x-posted to fukuyama_jun and taishou_sakurai and aarinfantasy forums.)


Seiyuu info... kind of spoiler for epi 23? (actually, not really..
It's only information of a seiyuu of a NEW character that only comes out for what... like 5 seconds?)

V.V. is voiced by 冨澤風斗 According to the credits.
There's not that much info about him, so I can't really say if it's a 'real' seiyuu name, or just a fake name seiyuu like to use in games and anime.
I'm guessing his name is read Tomizawa Kazato. The first kanji can also be read "fu", The third one is normally "kaze (wind)" but in names, it's usally used as "kaza"... gah, the weird Japanese names, and on top of that, seiyuu/actor(ess) names can be made up so it's sometimes really hard to figure out how you read it. So no matter how Japanese I am, no matter how long I've been in Japan, and no matter how much Japanese education I got, this is my limit with names.
Other info I have:
If I remember correctly, he was in "kemonodume" (another anime series) as a really really side extra (a village child A.. or something like that)
I'm guessing he's new, and you can tell by the way he 'voices' V.V. His acting isn't that great.
But he's not that bad, better than a lot of new seiyuu.
I guess he's someone to look forward to now...

I'll look into him before season 2 starts.. and maybe write up an report on him someday.

I know they said 24 and 25 would be this summer, but I didn't know that the rest of season 2 would be then too (I figured there'd be a longer break than that.)

I'm guessing, even if they say summer it'll be August since summer break for us (Japan) is the month of August.
And, I'm pretty much sure 23 is the end of season 1, or that's what the site is trying to hint... and also, the 'trailer' or 'preview' at the end of the anime is trying to hint.
And I highly doubt the break will be 'years' or even half a year.
that'll decrease the number of listeners/watchers, and wont be too good for the TV production company.

i thought the second season would air this fall .
well if it does air this fall , that may mean code geass 24 & 25 will be somewhere late Summer so we can guess then end of August .
In that case , i think i can consider 23 to have been the last episode of the season . actually..it's almost pointless to consider 24&25 to be part of season 1 , unless season 2 occurs some years later .

I know that summer break in Japan is August, but isn't the summer season of television in June or July? (or did I just make that up? x.x) Cause the Fall season is in October, so.... If season 2 follows 24 and 25, I wonder how many episodes it'll go for... Urgh, I'm really going to miss my Geass fix each week ;_;

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Usually, the summer specials are towards the end of the season summer (so August~) some TV specials are in the end of July... but that's pretty rare. D8
June is considered "tsuyu" (rainy season) and not really summer yet. . . or at least for us... and Japan's pretty crazy with these mass media and seasons and what not stuff so... yea.. xD;;
I'm going to miss it too.. it's only March still. D8

[thesilentsenshi.livejournal.com]

Aww. No more Geass? D: I'll have to find something else to occupy myself with.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

:) New season of shows starts in a few days. Bound to be something in the 50 odd shows beginning this April that will catch your fancy and pass the time. ^_^

[thesilentsenshi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but Geass is special. :p I'll miss Lulu and Suzaku. *squishes them*

What does the text on your icon say? *is curious*

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

It says 'Orenji?!?' in Katakana. ^-^

No show is special at first! :) You have to give 'em a chance to worm their way into your heart. ;)

[thesilentsenshi.livejournal.com]

That makes it even funnier. ♥

I don't know about that. I fell in love with Lulu that first episode he went batshit with the eye. I knew then I would love this series. ♥

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Lol, I fell in love with Garasu no Kantai from production art, so I guess that's so; but even so, you can't tell until they begin! So please don't not try them because they aren't Geass; I am looking forward to Kissdum, Darker Than Black, RomeoXJuliet and Bokurano. :)

[thesilentsenshi.livejournal.com]

Garasu no Kantai?

Heh! I'm an anime junky so there's no fear there! :D Those sound pretty cool. ♥

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Ah, I think no one watched Garakan except me! XDD It was a melodramatic space opera, Gonzo Studios; people didn't widely like it because they said it wasn't well animated but it had a great twisted plot. Being honest, Code G was my Garakan substitute as they share many of the same qualities to me (large plot of morally ambiguous characters with complicated relationships and they're both about the relationships between 'tyrants'; and 'rebels' ;) But I love Code G for itself now, this far down the line. ;)

[thesilentsenshi.livejournal.com]

Heh, thanks, I'll have to check it out. I love morally ambiguous characters and complicated relationships. :D I'm a bit behind in my anime viewing since I'm a senior in my last semester of college. Haven't had much time (or money) lately for anime and manga.

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

the new season shouldn't start in April when 24 and 25 is in the summer... and I haven't seen anything like that on the official website...
Can you show me where you got your info on shows beginning this April ?
I'm curious and may be I just missed something..

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Eh? About 50 shows start in April every year! It's ...it's April!

Here's Kissdum; http://www.kissdum.com/tv.html
RomeoXJuliet; http://www.romejuli.jp/news.html (start date in the second news item down)
And Darker Than Black; http://www.d-black.net/

They're all I have bookmarked. Code G 2 won't start until around September/October, I guess. Like season 1.

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

Oh, you were talking about them in general... I thought you were talking about CG2. @-@;;
Sorry about that.
But yea, CG wouldn't start til this fall or next spring.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

*nod* In general. Things to pass the time that may become fandoms in their own right; I always enjoy the start of a new season! :)

[haitechan.livejournal.com]

That's good news! I thought airing of ep 24 and 25 was totally apart from the airing of the second season. ^_^

[tehkev]

His acting isn't that great?

I was... just kind of under the impression V.V. isn't exactly the most polite person kinda like C.C. was at first (And still is actually), so he was just being blunt and direct. Or maybe that was just me? Ah well.

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

I guess he's suppose to sound blunt, but his lines are still 'bou-yomi' as in... err, expressionless? Like as if he's just reading off the paper. @-@;;
Mostly new seiyuu come out like that. They get practice and exprience and become the "award wining" seiyuu like Fukuyama Jun and what not, so I wasn't expecting something so great. but for a new guy, his "reading off the paper" isn't as visible, which is good~ x]

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I just thought he was supposed to sound emotionless and detached? C.C. sounds like that a lot to me and that's why I like her too, so I think it suits him? Then again we know nothing at all about him, so.

[wao.livejournal.com]

(unlurk)Actually, I have watched that episode of Kemonozume in question and had looked up the credits at the time, and couldn't find anything about this seiyuu - however, I'm pretty sure he is actually a real kid. It sounds very different from an adult acting as a kid... and like those child actors they brought in for Mushishi. I could upload an audio sample if you'd like me to. Anyway, that might explain it.(/unlurk)

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

a kid, that explains things~ he can be a child actor, or one of those child voice actors media is in love with using right now... @-@;; That explains the weird acting, or at least it sounds weird...

[kamuro-ishigami.livejournal.com]

*pouts* So 23 will e the 'last' episode for some time? That's sad though I hope the delay will be worth it. A continuous final 2 episodes of the first season and a second season might be quite the electrifying event..

[meitsu.livejournal.com]

i guess they're taking into account of the rest we need after all the massacring ~_~"

[yamikakyuu.livejournal.com]

I remember hearing this before so guess we'll just have to wait but atleast we'll get something in the summer to quench our Geass needs xD

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

It's up on the official website and in the trailer/preview part at the end of episode 23. C:

[dark-alone.livejournal.com]

Okay, so i'll try to remember not to wait for it to be released next week then. XD Cause that would be a long wait, lolz.

[saorren.livejournal.com]

u sure 冨澤-san is a he? o.o normally i'd assume child voice to be -she- ne, plus i think the voice would pass for a girl's too...

n i googled '冨澤風斗' and some tanteidan kind of drama? thing appeared... =/

[drug-holic.livejournal.com]

apparently it's a child seiyuu. @-@;; or a child actor...

the kanji used in the first name are usually for guys, so I guessed it was a male. xD;;

[dollhouse--x.livejournal.com]

Yah I thought V.V.'s seiyuu would be a she to, but a name that ends with "斗" is definitely a he i think XD. I totally feel like I heard the voice somewhere before though, and it's a CHILD seiyuu? Dangg. XD I actually love children seiyuu, they sound more like children (duh.) because even sometimes when the seiyuu is very good (or a girl) and voices children, they sound nice, but I realized its just really different from what actual children sound like.

I can't really tell if it's an actual kid though, since he only said like.. a sentence. And damn, his hair is long.
