Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block will run the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 sequel series in the United States. The late-night block has been running Bandai Entertainment's English-dubbed version of the first Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion robot anime series since April 26. The 18th episode of Code Geass R2 just aired in Japan on Sunday, and the series is expected to end after 25 episodes in October when the second season of Gundam 00 will take over its timeslot. Code Geass R2 continues the alternate-history struggle between the Britannia Empire and the oppressed "Elevens" of former Japan, after the cliffhanger ending of the first series. Goro Taniguchi is directing the animators at Sunrise on this project with character designs by the popular manga artist quartet CLAMP.

Bandai Entertainment just shipped its first Code Geass DVDs as individually packaged discs, a two-disc set, and a limited-edition set.

Update: Bandai Entertainment noted at Maryland's Otakon event last Saturday that the Code Geass R2 sequel will run on Adult Swim immediately after the first series ends. Thanks, Tenkaido.


I dunno...it seems like part of the fun was the whole gap in between R1's last eps and R2, but whatever.

And it almost makes me feel sorry for them that they can only watch one episode per week; so if they're not out searching for subbed torrents, they're all going to be flipping burgers when the lest few episodes are out and they're all full of tension at what's going to happen. Hell, I wonder how many of them even know there's a second season to follow this one.
Of course, there's just something amazing about being able to watch five episodes per night and finish on the weekend the second episode of R2 is released. Muahahaha, that was an great time to jump in.
