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.

oh trust me, i live for high-traffic fandoms XDDD i think about... 2 or 3 new news in a post? or you could post something once it comes up, then when something else comes up, you can edit the first post and update the time as well, so it'll still be 'current' ^__^;;

then when the traffic becomes so little people are crying for a new post, spam away! XDDD

FMA was pretty much 1 news article per 1 post when it was still running, I'm sort of used to that one. ^^; I'll try to do that if the post is the same type or if it hasn't fallen too much (how many people go back the pages in the comm? How much is too much? Four-five posts or seven-eight?).

Unless the news become scarce, too?

ohh the climax period of FMA was great *____* i would be spammed by them every single day DD: now there's not much traffic... even the digest post has to incorporate other comms other than fm_a XDDD

you can just try ^___^ i never go back pages, but i guess the max number of news would be 4-5 in one post, then you can make another one :)

yeah DD: hope it doesn't tho!! then we'll need some crack fanfics XDD
