so much merchandise questions...

[chunky-bunny.livejournal.com]

I'm planning to order (or pre-order) the geass novels or the manga over the internet. Since dad said we'll discuss about my ordering of them online tommorow. I decided to give some thought about the novel and the manga.

I'm curious, do the geass novels also cover some details that's not actually found in the story? I've heard that the Geass novels happen to also mentioned a few things like kewell's sister and events that happened prior to Marianne's assasination.

Also, the geass manga. I'm considering buying Nightmare of Nunnally, but since that manga's set to be released next year (and honestly, I can't wait that long), I'm stuck between buying Suzaku of the counterattack and Lelouch of the Rebellion for the meantime. Which would you suggest to me? I haven't seen Suzaku of the counterattack yet, so I'm that curious 8D;

ANNND on a final note:

Does anyone know where to get the Code geass Chara Keychains from the first season? I'm looking for two Cornelia Chara Keychains and two Euphemia ones. I say two of each because I want to pimp my ds lite with more keychains and my phone seems... bare. do you happen to know where to buy one?


thanks for your help guys <3

and, we have a tag called "Mooks" instead of "Books"? ORZ
and I am sure I tagged this right, yes? 8D?

All the mangas have their own little versions of what happens in the series in general. I have Majiko's(manga artist for the Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion series) version of the comics and don't recall reading extra plots like the ones you've posted. In terms of "details" you'll never get it in a comic because they tend to shorten the series such that they can fit into um-th volumes of comic. If you want detail events of what happens in the anime series you're better off buying the novels.

Each manga tells their stories differently, and I don't just mean because they're focused on different characters. They have an almost completely different storyline from the anime and each other. For example Majiko's version of Geass involved scenes with Euphie going to Ashford school, Suzaku's Counter Attack had him dressed up in a crazy masked suit called Lancelot rather than letting him ride in a mecha of that name, and Nightmare of Nunnally had her meeting Geass-related aliens or some sort. These stuff never ever happened in the anime, and though to some extend they tell the same story of Lelouch's Rebellion, there are TONS OF DETAILS that differ from the original anime series.

That beind said, Majiko's version are the closest thing to the anime compared to the other two manga. And it *can* be fun to read (extremely) altered versions of the Geass story...I guess it depends on what you like.

Suzaku of the Counterattack has the best art imho.

the ones I've posted were related to the geass novels, not the manga itself.

but the info you give me is pretty much good enough 8D

Manga:

If you browse the comm (or my LJ (http://kitsune-no-ame.livejournal.com/tag/raw+scans)) you'll find raw scans of all the available volumes and some scanlations if it's any help to make up your mind ^_^

[piggyhoho.livejournal.com]

WHAT? Majiko has very cute style. XD Though I must admit doing Geass is killing her natural talent since she used to do comedy. VERY NICELY I might add.

Re: Manga:

thanks :3

[piggyhoho.livejournal.com]

Glad it helped. As for the figures, you're probably relating to the Chara Fortune set such as in this YesAsia (http://www.yesasia.com/us/code-geass-lelouch-of-the-rebellion-geass-fortune-telling/1004824725-0-0-0-zh_TW/info.html) listing? Unfortunately that's quite an old set, even auction sites such as ebay have limited supplies. It's especially hard to find them individually since they come in a box set of randomly packed 24. Little people auction them off individually, and those who do auction them usually sell them in a set.

[chunky-bunny.livejournal.com]

Yea, I'm reffering to that one.
that is what scares me D:

This was the same when I was in Hong Kong two years ago. Me and my sister each bought one of those randomly packed GSD figurines in hopes of getting what we wanted...

We ended up with two Kiras. WHUT

mooks and books are quite different ^___^;

or so i'm told.

[kitsune-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Isn't a mook more like a magazine (many small articles etc) than a real book (book as in novel, with text > images)??

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

i forgot which of my code geass merchandise are mooks XDD but i think that's it. they have more pictures than a book, but then bound/set out differently from magazines :x

[kitsune-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Hmm~ I think both Graphics (Zero and Ashford) and VSZero and WithLelouch ones for sure.

[hatsumomo.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen any of her other stuff to be honest, I just think that manga had the best art out of all the CG mangas. Not that any of them are particularly outstanding ;/

[wishmasterfuuma.livejournal.com]

What's your email? I might be able to help but there will be an explanation to go with it, so~

I'm Chibi_Xandra@hotmail.com , if you don't want to post yours, send me a message to reply to. ^_^''

[fujiappletan.livejournal.com]

JUST GET IT ALL.
that's what i'm doing. >>
lol self control.
i think the code geass by majiko is very good, though the suzaku counterattack one is nice. however even in japan there haven't been any other releases for it aside from volume 1 while the manga by majiko has five volumes out in japan. errr if that is helpful to your deciding.

you should totally buy nightmare of nunnally when it comes out~ i have the raws of it and may not know what's going on half the time but i really like it. xD

no idea about the S1 novels.

[chunky-bunny.livejournal.com]

my email is aile_striku@hotmail.com

sorry for late reply, I was asleep ^^;

[xoxeskel.livejournal.com]

Mooks...okay, the Gothic & Lolita Bibles? Those are mooks. I don't really know how to explain them aside from thus: Magazine X Book.

And, frankly, that is a REALLY sucky explanation.

[chickee1.livejournal.com]

This is just my opinion on Suzaku of the Counter Attack, but it has a very obvious Self input SUE! which takes over the roles of both Cecil and Euphie in Suzaku's life, so I didn't read past the first volume.

[decolorize.livejournal.com]

Oh god, what, Suzaku of the Counter Attack has a Sue in it? :O THE HORROR! Wait, but wouldn't she be considered an actual character then? Since it's an AU from the anime? Urg, I am so confused. x_x
