Future anime schedule?

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

Rumors from a pretty reliable source about the anime schedule; 26 episodes, a break, then 26 more?..Gundam Seed did something similar...

First reaction: roflmao
Second Reaction: Yay! Code Geass has too many thing to wrap up in a single season.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Well, it sounds feasible...they have enough plot and characters potentially for it to run and run. :) (Yay, that would be a good thing! ^-^b)

[halevy.livejournal.com]

Lol @ Sunrise.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

*hugs your icon, just because*

[halevy.livejournal.com]

I hug my icon, too. Orange-kun is love.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Yes he is! More love for him!

[halevy.livejournal.com]

OHMYGOD SEXY ICON.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

You know we all were thinking it! XDDD

[zalem.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! I really hope it turns out to be true....I was actually thinking that 24 eps seemed too short for Geass. Now hopefully the director knows what he's doing and paces everything well.

[kaito-1412.livejournal.com]

It's good that Code Geass will have more than 26 episodes. Lelouch ambitions are so big, and there is so much potential to explore several plot lines and subplots that having 26 episodes is like a waste.

Who knows, maybe of Code Geass becomes very popular it will become another Dragon Ball Z-length series XD

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

I heard a similiar rumor floating around JFen, which would make sense considering how the pacing is absolutely glacial for the subject matter. But still, I don't think CG would do as a 4-coures series....(or at least I hope it isn't one)

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

the writer was also the main writer for gundam seed...so i'm sure he can pull off whatever he needs for a longer series.

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

haha. usually only kid-series and/or fighting series last more than 100 episodes. i don't see lelouch powering-up like goku.

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

moonphase is a pretty good source...usually most english anime news sources get their info there

...but i guess the diary section of the page could be pure speculation

...but then again, they haven't yet announced how many episodes this series is...and that usually means a lengthier series.

..ah well, more fun and merchandise for us if true.

[empanadas]

Whether the rumors are true or not, CG needs more than 26 eps for the pacing it's going. =)

[halevy.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it's going to be set two years later like Gundam SEED Destiny XD Geass seriously reminds me of Gundam SEED. Heh, I never even saw all of SEED or Destiny. Just bits and parts.

The writer for Geass is same as GS and GSD? Oh my. I heard rumors she wrote Suzumura Kenichi's character (Shinn) less likable because he apparently offended her and made Naomi Shindou's character "useless" because she approached the writer about it.

WATCH OUT GEASS SEIYUUS.

[annwyd.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd heard the thing about Shinn, but I hadn't heard that the reason Cagalli was treated so crappily in Destiny was because Shindou Naomi approached her. Jeez.

But no, Morosawa is not the GS/D writer associated with Geass--it's a different one entirely (I forget which one). So I wouldn't worry about that sort of behind-the-scenes wankery.

(Fun fact: Tanaka Rie, Lacus's seiyuu, and Morosawa are both huuuuge, obsessive Athrun fangirls. Tanaka Rie was always pissed off that Lacus ended up with Kira instead of Athrun. So there's a rumor that Meer was created to give Tanaka Rie a chance to briefly be with Athrun.)

[annwyd.livejournal.com]

Personally, I'm glad if it's true--Geass has way too much plot to be wrapped up in 25 episodes, and since it's not a true sequel with a totally different plot, a second half doesn't have quite as much of a chance of totally screwing up.

Now, if they decide to make a true sequel, then I'll get nervous.

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

one of the two the series composition and screenplay person worked on GS/GSD. the other worked on turn-a-gundam. there seemed to be like a dozen scenario/script writers for GS/GSD so not sure if that person one you are talking about.

[chiapetzukamori.livejournal.com]

as much as I love the show....I pray it isn't any longer than.....75 episodes. Even that's a little long....but any longer than that would just ruin the show >_< I personally hope the current sub plot lines are explored in their fullness...but at this point it seems to me like adding more would be like adding fluff to the story. Anyone here ever see the Inuyasha anime? And how they just kept adding more and more and more and MORE to the plot? (That was Rumiko Takahashi's fault...but still, lol) It just seemed like it would never end! And after 165 episodes and 10+ years of manga serialization, there is no ending.

But still....on nokiirat's comment....I DARE you to picture in your mind Lulu powering up like Goku...pointy hair and everything....and even throw in a kamehameha for good measure XD
Lulu, you have lost your dignity, lol!

[empanadas]

What the hell...?

So the reason Shinn became less likeable is because Morosawa didn't like him? Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the writers, script people, or anyone in the staff should be biased against a character or many. o.o; Wouldn't that have a negative effect in the show or something?

The Cagalli thing is new to me as well. =o

Either way, thank God that Morosawa is not in the Geass staff!

[halevy.livejournal.com]

It was this rumor I heard that Suzumura Kenichi offended the script writer somehow. I don't know what he said or did but it must have been a terrible misunderstanding or he really did say/do something rude.

In a way, I wouldn't be surprised because I've heard rumors SuzuKen once said things about one of his co-stars after having sake but he said he doesn't remember. *shrugs* SuzuKen is love. Maybe he should join the Geass cast 8D

[halevy.livejournal.com]

I believe it was the GS/GSD's director's wife. o.o

[zalem.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily a good thing if that writer was the same one as GSD....the pacing on that was awful. Though it could have been the director's fault there. GS was good and well-paced, but GSD....well I hope Geass is more like the former rather then the latter!

[zalem.livejournal.com]

Thank god it's not the same writer. Geass doesn't need that kind of crap going on in the background.

That's really nasty if it's true about Morosawa...a writer should keep their personal crap OUT of the workplace. I mean why ruin a perfectly good character like Cagilli? It's very childish and stupid.

[zalem.livejournal.com]

oops...I meant Cagalli. ^^;;;

[shad-fg.livejournal.com]

Suzumura Kenichi <3
YEAH. HE SHOULD JOIN THE GEASS CAST. That would be wonderfulll~

[shad-fg.livejournal.com]

.. That will be really fantastic if it's true.
I second all those comments in front. XD'

[sapphire-pyro.livejournal.com]

From what I heard, after this 20+ eppies in the first season, there'll be another season sometime next year . . .then they have a break, then they'll have 2 more seasons x_X

I dunno if my memory is that reiable x_X it came from some code geass thread . . .somewhere

If this isn't a rumor, I'm very glad that Code Geass won't be limited to 20+ eppies. The plot covers a lot and there's a lot of plot and character development needed to make the series even more interesting. I simply want to see more Lulu

However, I've heard there'll be a change with the producer and character design . . .which I think isn't good :( because there might be sudden changes in the flow of the story and also to the characters (e.g. Suzaku becomes some merciless killer, Euphemia acting like Cornelia) . . . which would be terrible x_X It would be nice if there is continuity.

Though I still want to see more of Code Geass, I wouldn't want it to be TOO LONG and have TOO MANY seasons x_X such series usually become worse. So many irrelevant stuff added that would make a fan go crazy x_X

Many have seen similarities bet. Code Geass and Gundam Seed. Honestly, I haven't seen much GS eppies but I didn't appreciate them >_> I tried to like it again since I loved Code Geass, but I can't explain how much GS has . . . . been making my eyes bleed disappointed me atm. ^^; I hope Code Geass won't be following GS's foot steps. GS is GS. CG is CG. They're two different entities T_T

[kaito-1412.livejournal.com]

I dont really mind if Code Geass ends up being 100+ episodes as long as they keep it interesting. However, keeping the interest in a series for a long time is hard. I also hope there is nothing in Code Geass that resembles the Freezer-Goku fight.

*Goku is fighting freezer with 1 minute remaining for Namek to self destruct*

"Oh noes! The planet is going to self destruct in one minute!"

*10 episodes later*

"Oh noes! Namek is going to explode in 1 second"

[kaito-1412.livejournal.com]

oh? Do you why they are changing producer or character design? I mean, I dont see why they would do that, considering that they are doing so well right now.

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

...I think I can also say goodbye to my 2007 year end bonus. Ah well, small price to pay.

That is, IF they keep it nice and pacey! I retain emotional scars after FMA. I demand awesome to keep my faith.

[sapphire-pyro.livejournal.com]

I dunno why ^^; sorry.

but I've heard that the new producer would be the same with Fullmetal Alchemist. the character design I forgot ^^; . . .well, of course not CLAMP ^^;

I don't see why they would do that either x_X It's SO GOOD already. How could they X_X

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

At least the main writing guy's not related to GS/GSD, if that helps? I've always liked the director's works, too, even if it's a little worrisome since he's never done anything longer than 25 before. Though that way, I can stop worrying about the pacing...

I suppose its popularity raise helps, though.

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

FMA? Possibly to reduce the "OMG POLITICAL AGENDA" talks? The director's been somewhat defensive about that in his Newtype December interview...

I don't think they COULD change the character design, though. Maybe it's referring to their second designer? CLAMP did the basics, he did the TV adaptation.

[chiapetzukamori.livejournal.com]

LOL! And that (along with the insanely hidious character designs) is why I never watched the show heh

[magical-poof.livejournal.com]

Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding?

I read that Code Geass will be doing the one season-break-season thing, however, I also read that there is a rumor of a new Gundam series that will be directed by the person who directed FMA...

Both of these shows are already produced by Sunrise...

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Eh, I don't really believe they could change producers, but in case they actually change, that'd be the likeliest reason.

And I don't really know why it's always FMA. Probably a lot of people are impressed with it?

[picaaa.livejournal.com]

2nd season...
I wonder if I can handle it >.>;;
I was suprise when I can handle seed >.>;;;;

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

ohhh yeah, that's definitely possible. coz sakurai (suzaku's seiyuu) isn't really supposed to be at work... D:

[sapphire-pyro.livejournal.com]

I wish they really won't change the character design. And yeah, what you said is probable ^_^
