One of the most highly anticipated anime series of ‘08, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion features animation studio Sunrise and a story by Goro Taniguchi (s-CRY-ed, Planetes) and Ichiro Okouchi (Eureka SeveN, Planetes) and character designs by the legendary manga creators CLAMP. The story is a military drama with intricate plot lines and robotic action about the character Lelouch and his journey to overthrow a totalitarian regime that has invaded Japan.

Johnny as Lelouch; Dear god I wanna see his calm composure throughout the first part of the ep, then the mental breakdown of Geass and blood all over, and then the evil little " Dakara/That's why..." in a evil voice.

Yuri: He'll get..Little Suzaku love in first ep but I still wanna see him pull off the 'nice' Suzu before he becomes tainted and hated by America as much as Japan XD

Whilst the very idea of another terrible dub horrifies me, I would still like to know; will Pizza Hut be supporting the rebellion?

O.O I really hope so. I would eat at Pizza Hut all the time.
