Double-posting. Please blame the official site for this. D:

Apparently the Geass team got a lot of questions about the recap episode, so they decided to post an explanation up on the official blog. Translation as follows.

"...The next episode, 8.5 (recap) will be an organized look back at what Lelouch has done in the episode 1-8 and his past.

We've received a lot of requests from viewers who started watching in the middle about what sort of story happened before and that they wanted to see it. We've assembled this recap episode to answer this request. We hope our viewers who did not start from the middle would have more enjoyment of the later episodes as a result.

As for those who's been our viewers right from the beginning, we'd like you to think of this episode as a reaffirmation. If you'd like to bring your friends to watch it with you, it would make us very happy.

Thank you in advance for your support of [Code Geass : Lelouch of the Rebellion] from now on.

*Stage 8.5 will not be counted among the episodes on the DVD, but as a special selection programme. For further information, please check the official site."

...well, I did, but nothing's up there yet. If something's put up, I'll make an edit on this post and give you the breaking news. (Or make a new post if it's further apart and too much of a pain to dig) At least it seems that Episode 8.5 is made because they're answering fan demand and/or this is a good place to recap for middleroad watchers because things started changing post-8, instead of not having enough time to make a proper 9.0. (They did not seem to expect the popularity, haha) Or it could be just pretty words (ironic, if it is) but I'm going to give them the benefit of doubt, it's been very good series thus far. Does the DVD comment mean 8.5 won't count towards the amount of episodes we're getting? We can only hope.

they will??? japanese fanboys scare me. it's... weird D:

it depends what the content is for me XDD i'm absolutely scared of thrillers and horrors, but i can withstand NC-17 fics to the extreme. but some just scare me a bit too much. like ripping sensual organs out of you x______X;;

Certain groups of Japanese fanboys like girls groping each other. I mean, take a look at Strawberry Panic. No offense to the fans of that series, but you've got to admit it's a draw.

You're scared of guro. XD I can withstand a lot of gore. Don't like horror movies, but gore? Gore is okay by me. I blame it on early exposure to X/1999. ~~As for NC-17, remember the Ed/Al/Roy stuff in FMA? If you've seen threesome armorsex, I think you've seen everything~~

i'm used to the ichigo 100% fanboys, thank you very much ~____~

guro? what's that? .___. gore depends on the situation. 1am with lack of sleep? get it away from me. in broad daylight? bring it on :D ~~i don't read FMA fanfics, but this (http://www.amanuensis1.com/andjustplainwrong.html) i believe is NC-17 enough XDDD~~

Ah yes. You know the kind, then. Ichigo 100% is a different beast, though. It's a harem series. Strawberry Panic...you know, Yuri. Hardly a male to be seen.

Guro = Gore + Ero = Goreporn. Where you go choppity chop during the merry act of procreation. I can't say I know that much about it, but I've seen it around. Body parts have ceased to scare me. Except in real life, of course.

i have a thing for harem manga.. i even have negima O___O;;

O___________O that's... good or bad depending on the writing and the pairing. i think i can withstand it if he's ashura/that lightning god in RD veda, or pottercest in HP, but that's about it. D:

Hey, I like Negima. It actually has a plot that isn't melodrama, for one thing, and the characters are nice. And Negi is far from your typical male lead.

You haven't seen that Star Wars fic where Mace Windu poked Yoda's eye out with his....er, procreational stick, I presume. I'm not sure if that counts as guro, but it sure changed my perception of pr0n forever. D:

i don't mind it, but then i'm stuck on volume 15 or so. i just can't continue reading it... D:

O_____________O i don't want to know that D: i've seen a very twisted HP version of the twelve dancing prinesses tho :D
