Season 2 Preview Flash

[chansonxchou.livejournal.com]

Geass site just updated with a flash on season two. Just click on the top banner, the bigger one, on the official site and it'll connect you to the flash. It doesn't really show much about it, just pictures, same as the one shown in Newtype. Except Rollo's facing full forward this time.



'After one year...a new destiny has begun.

Knight of Rounds, Kururugi Suzaku

New Character, Rollo

And a new Zero appears

New TV series to be aired at spring '08!'


I'm pretty sure that for Suzaku they put 'Knight of Rounds'It could be 'Lawns' but then that would be really weird. XD; I'm guessing they're going for the Athurian legend style and he's supposed to be one of the Knights of the Round Table or something.

Anyway, Discuss?


P.S. Update in the gallerys. OMG THE 2007 AUTUMN ONE IS TOO CUTE!!!! Although I wish they would show the full picture of the one with Lelouch and Suzaku sleeping...

I guess so. But, it sounds like they're animating it really well based on the frame count for some of the scenes the animator mentioned. Here's what the animator said (thanks to Celiss' translation :D)

- According to her, Geass season 2 requires more frames than most other shows. This is where it gets interesting, because she actually describes some of the scenes:

Lulu positioning a chess piece, 20 frames, 3 days to complete
XX (new character) takes off helmet, 20 frames, 2 days to complete
XXX (new character), hair waving in the wind, 14 frames, 1 and a half days to complete

- Her opinion on the season 2 art style: It's closer to KimuTaka and ChibaYuri's style now than it is to CLAMP's. According to her this makes it all the more difficult to animate, and she suspects that Code Geass season 2 is now #1 on the industry's "Black List" (I'm assuming it's a list of shows animators would rather not work on because of the workload)


There are other miscellaneous spoilers on the thread at Gamefaqs (look for the Female Mao title) :D

Provide a linky~ pls~

And ouch...Now the epi's might take longer to make o.o;

...*prepares to see more .5 ep's*

Sorry... but where are the frames that you mentioned above? ;__;

[lulu-quality.livejournal.com]

Uh...well, they're in the 26th episode, but I don't have any pictures if that's what you mean. And the animator's blog is long gone (probably taken down for posting spoilers).

[angel-katsumi.livejournal.com]

Aren't the episodes just 25? O___O I can't wait spring to come... Thanks for your reply!! :D

[lulu-quality.livejournal.com]

Just so you know, the 26th episode = 1st episode of the second season. <---The Geass staff is calling it that.

Knights of Round

[(Anonymous)]

I love the fact they took away the Table...

Probably because Nina would taint the holy table itself if she ever saw it XD

lol but n-no cornerssss ///

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Lol, Suzaku looks very grown up. ^-^ Awesome. Bring on the Oranges action. XD

" a new zero appears"

really hope theyre just referin to his new helmet

the new guy looks like a girl in a guys uniform [flashes of haruhi from ouran XD] and it really does look like nunally!!! O.O...maybe vv did sumthin to her and she can walk again!!

[volfield.livejournal.com]

IS THAT... IS THAT LULU AND SUZAKU'S SON. WHAT THE HELL.


Anyway, as everyone else I'm deeply concerned in the Lulu lacking going around... It's not that I hate Suzaku, or the new Zero, or... THAT... THING. but seriously, if it wasn't for Lelouch I wouldn't have watched this series at all. It's all about his point of view, it's all about his story. Wtf Suzaku.

Maybe they're just hiding Lelouch. The bastards. Hmmmm. Lelouch in a knight-ish suit. :|~~

About the Knights thingie, I remember doing some wiki-search on the subject some time ago and found some coincidences at a point, you may want to read this little thing over here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gawain#Gawain_in_French_literature)~ I think it's quite inevitable that in the end things just cant't be happy... I think Lulu will sacrifice himself (get shot D:) for Nunnally... or something, and Suzaku will stay with her. If you think about it, Suzaku just WON'T die (geass, anyone?). Unless C.C. shows up again and some kind of Sunrise-ish-surprise-buttsecks-event takes place, we'll have the Lulu-dead end for sure. ARGH.


I STILL THINK THAT BOY IS DISTURBING.

IS THAT... IS THAT LULU AND SUZAKU'S SON. WHAT THE HELL.

OH GOD I THOUGHT THAT TOO.

[deadums.livejournal.com]

LOL Maybe V.V. did some weird magic and melded himself into Nunnally to create Rollo.

[faye-naruse.livejournal.com]

Thank you for telling us~ ^o^

Rollo, he's just so... XD
All I have to say is...Wow. Very

[patbjorke.livejournal.com]

Even if this seems stupid, if they cut Lulu out of the show, I'm not gonna watch anymore D: And to top it off, it seems like Suzaku will get more focus, and he's my LEAST-liked character, even lower than Nina *shivers*

[sinspire.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with some other people on this, if Lulu is dead, I probably won't watch the show as much. HOWEVER, I have come up with two theories as to how he might live:

A) He's got to hide for a while so he gets someone else to be Zero for a bit while he lays low on his honeymoon with C.C.

B) He fakes his death. We don't learn the identity of the new Zero right away, so we're all "WHO COULD THE NEW ZERO BE!?" but then surprise, it turns out to be the old Zero after all. ♥

C) A combination of the two.

[satsuki-mika.livejournal.com]

Uhm... is it just me or that Rollo is kinda resemblance to Shinn Asuka (GSD)? Err, I mean his appearance ^^' A total stranger that replaces a main chara from previous series (or something like that)

Geez... If Lulu's dead, I'll bring Sunrise down so it can never 'rise' again! XD

[(Anonymous)]

That Gawain info just makes me more depressed on how this is going to turn out.

Lelouch is not dead yet so I don't think there is much point in discussing it. He is going to die though at the end.

I think Lelouch has probably been a dead man for sure the moment his geass went haywire. There is no possible way he is going to get any sort of a good ending out of this.

[neltis-screi.livejournal.com]

I think the same. he's on the path of revenge. after all the events that went wrong, it's kinda hard to believe he's gonna live at the end. the real deal is how Sunrise is gonna finish him off. though, i'd love to see him alive after all of this is done u__u

[(Anonymous)]

Well there is always the chance he could start changing a bit and win against his past and actions as C.C. told him, but that seems like a very slim chance. If he does die, I hope it's a heroic sort of death that redeems him of what he has done.

I would love it if he made it to the end. If he did though, I think he'd probably live outside from everyone.

[jczala.livejournal.com]

A new Zero? So it's not Lelouch. Now I'm more excited to see the 2nd season. I wanna find out what happened to Lelouch. Of course, he can't be dead, right? He's the protagonist after all. And this new mystery character... He's going to be a student in Ashford Academy. Oh wow... I can't wait.

[ryans-cupcake.livejournal.com]

Rollo is Suzaku and Lulu's love child.

[recklessflames.livejournal.com]

If Lulu dies im going to have to break my computer screen. <.< Lets hope it does not come to that. Because that is exactly what I'm afraid of. I think that lelouch is way too similar to light from Death Note ( my opinion.) And i kept thinking, "omg their going to pull a death note on us!" bring that they kill Lelouch and get someone else to play the role of Zero

I.Will.Be.Pissed. if that were to happen.

Anyway I want to know more about this Rollo. I will be LOLing if hes like the new Zero. Seriously...i will be freakin upset. But hes a student and we know nothing of him. I want to know. <.
