found these online randomly... mostly japanese...

a few comparisons of the DVD and TV broadcasted anime (screencaps - wider screen = DVD; shorter = anime)

bad comments on the new OP
it's sad... or maybe this site is just mean in general, but i think ppl are just having really bad comments on the new OP by Jinn ^^;;;; they even linked to amazon.jp for this single and the reviews seem quite negative too... someone even said they're definitely not buying this product... >.>;;;

PS: youtube full version of the MTV for the song
and a fan suggested new OP song by uverworld... MAN, THAT IS JUST HEAVENLY COMPARED TO JINN @_@

What does the Orange advertisement say? >>; I'm too tired totry and read it...

[saorren.livejournal.com]

im not entirely sure... from the looks of it and the help of online translating sites XD it means sth like "buy it with all your might!" the second phrase im not sure.

the word 全力 seems to be used very often in geass and for advertising geass dvd... so ppl started using it a lot =P

[ryans-cupcake.livejournal.com]

I always thought they would have a pic of the Geass telling people to buy things. But Orange-kun works too.

[raitokira.livejournal.com]

haha yea.Somehow "zenryoku" is a very "in" word, together with orange kun in Geass. 全力 【ぜんりょく】 (n) all one's power; whole energy XD

[raitokira.livejournal.com]

hmmm...
supposed to be the origin of "zenryoku".

ジェレミアやゼロの発言から、2chなどの一部で流行った言葉。「全力で○○しろ」などのようにさり気なく会話に織り込まれたりする。公式でもキャラクター人気投票のキャッチコピーとして使用された。とにかく何もかも全力を挙げて行動するのが真のコードギアスファン。

I cant remember that Orange kun and Zero did mention that word in their speech though. Maybe I shld go n rewatch it some day?

Link to a high quality version, I think it was posted before in this community but whatever. It's infinitely better than the new official opening...

[saorren.livejournal.com]

thanks. i must hv missed it but ya. i jsut cant make myself to like this new op... *sigh*

[kazune1988.livejournal.com]

lol......colours of the heart' is the op of blood. how can use on code geass? but other new songs by uverworld, i definitely don't mind, so far uverworld has never failed to make me like their songs for anime op. like blood+ and bleach

[fangirl-ism.livejournal.com]

I don't like the new OP too

LOL. The song in the fan made video is definetly much better and the timing of the animation fits well.

[zalem.livejournal.com]

I WISH that was the real opening. It IS heavenly in comparison. Not a bad opening sequence either...whoever worked on that did a pretty good job.

[glazzal.livejournal.com]

Well, I hate the new OP too, heh; funny thing about Jinn -- when they sang for Blood+, they also turned me off so much I couldn't skip it fast enough each time. Can't imagine what the tv fans do: stab the mute button?

[dshae47.livejournal.com]

Hahaha Jinn's OP for Blood+ did exactly the same to me! I still wonder how they manage to get their songs into popular anime series O_o.

[the-sports-geek.livejournal.com]

They have pictures of anime producers. With goats.

[hikari-cyhan.livejournal.com]

I actually like the new opening as a song, but I don't think the feel of it is appropriate for the series.

[halevy.livejournal.com]

I actually love the new OP. I think people said the lyrics fit or something... I need to find the lyrics for it. Anyway, it would be nice of UVERworld or someone did a new OP but um, we've only had Jinn for a couple of episodes now. I don't understand what's so hard about forwarding through the opening.

Damn, the fan-made OP makes me want to listen to UVERworld! :P

[mossygirl.livejournal.com]

I thought I would hate the new OP, but I ended up really liking it, and I think it fits 9.9 Though I liked UVERworld when I first heard them (Bleach's 2nd OP), all their songs kind of sound the same to me o.o

[saorren.livejournal.com]

i tried for the new OP, i really did. it's not like horrible, but there's just something about the song that irritates me a lot, im not exactly sure what...
as for ur comment on uverworld's songs similarity, i know what ur talking about, i got the same feeling too... but... at least for this fan made OP, it sounds + looks really good =w=;
