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

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

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).

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

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