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.

So it IS in there? AWESOME. Geass Team, you know how to keep your fans happy. ^_^ (I'm just wondering about the lack of backlash in Jfen, but eh, maybe it takes time---September Animage took like two months to generate on-theme fanart)

Next week. Starting which day? XD Also, what was the resolution you used? I suck and have problems reading Newtype's novel kanji font in print. -_-;

well, it's like one page per issue, so there's not much really ^__^;; i tend to buy the 3 main magazines then scan them 2 weeks before the newer issues come, but now i'm cutting down on money, so the past few month's scans are on my LJ :)

starting.... in half an hour or so XDDD i used 200ppi, but i tend to half the image size when i upload them for people to cover up my crap merging skills, but they are skill completely readable at about.. 800x1000 or something XDDD

Oh ho, one page? The ad was so misleading. But a story's a story, and one page means it's actually plausible to translate! *finds the silver lining whenever she can*

800x1000 should be sufficient, yes. XD So 200 dpi is okay for scanning? CGing takes like 600 dpi. It's insane on the file size.

yes ^____^ stuff that are too long for their own good kill you when you want to translate them. *thinks of the manga* i warn you, the picture with the 'novel' freaks me out. and i'm not that easily scared DD:

at the original size, the font is like.. font size 14 on a 1024x768 screen o___o;; well i guess 200 is alright for scanning ^__^;; some of the details that shouldn't be there can be scanned out tho... 200dpi is already 2MB per file, i can't think of 600dpi O__O;;

Ahaha, manga. The days when I used to translate them. XD As for the picture accompaniement...whatever it is, it's canon (or damn close to it). If canon wants to scare me, let it does so. Let's called it 'short story' instead, though. XD

The 600 dpi is for grayscale, though. XD So it ends up being like...I think the general size is around 5-7 mb depending on what I scan. Which is the reason I don't do much fanart lately. XDD;;

i only translate them when no one else is XDD if THAT's canon, i'm sticking with fanon ;____; i'll call it diary entry XDD ~~milly or whatever looks as if she's threatening shirley in a not that good way o__o;;~~

O___O still big XDDD

I only do them when everyone else sucks or when I'm incredibly excited. XD When there's decent translators about, I sip tea and enjoy the scenery. XD ~~Millay does not surprise me. Fanboys probably would enjoy it, too.~~ Diary entry works. But wow, an entry once a month? Lulu---or whoever writes the diary---is one heck of a lazy writer. XD

See. And my computer sucks, so there's this whole LAGGGGGG OF DOOOOMMM whenever I re-lineart or color. It sucks. *sigh*

you're... lazy DDD: which reminds me i'm lazy on my interview translations too. damn. ~~they will..? O_O i'm scared on japanese boys D:~~ it's this new writer... and they sure are lazy XDDD

I am. XD But really, if there's someone else who can do the job just as well as you can and do it in the same time, there's no point wasting resources and alienate the other guy in the process. Translating leaves too little time and mood for generating other things. XD ~~Japanese are VERY WEIRD. But then again, I haven't seen how scary it is. It can't be worse than guro, at the least.~~ So it's an OC. Well, that's not exactly unexpected, but I was hoping for a canon viewpoint. You live with what you get, I guess.

you should totally say that to the 3 or 4 people translating the tsubasa and xxholic chapters now XDDD

well, it's not exactly an OC, coz sunrise has given this to 3 mangaka's to do already DD: i'm sure she/he writes what sunrise tells him/her to XDDD

Oh, I know people like doing competitive translating stints, but I don't really like them. I've done it (under another name) and it's...not my style. The comparison is fine, but I don't like the feeling of thinking all the work's gone to waste. Collab, though, is something I'd gladly take. On the whole, I'd rather translate something that needs a translator than things that already has them. Otherwise we get poor series that have no love.

OH. You mean it's in the viewpoint of the 3rd person narrator or one of the known cast, but the 'new writer' is the author? That's okay, then. XD I'm pretty used to various cracked canons going round. One has to wonder if Mr. Ookouchi thinks all those scenarios or are they all cracked out by the rest of the team.

i don't find much point in having a lot of people translating something, but i guess it's something that i do as well ^__^;; i still scan stuff when i know people already have it, coz i'm used to it and all XDD i translate either coz a chinese raws leaked earlier than the japanese relase, or coz no one else is doing it.

well there's a writer's info thing next to it, so i'm sure it's not from the pen of sunrise person. the diary entry seems to be in the POV is shirley .____. so i guess a new writer is writing in a character's POV? .___.

(deleted comment)

I was correct. The Japanese fanboys would love it. The art style is pretty screwy, though.. XD ~~It takes a WHOLE FREAKING LOT to scare me~~

Looks like Millay's teasing her about something in the dialogue, but unfortunately. I'll wait for the larger version. ^^

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
