[News] FUNimation licenses Code Geass

FUNimation has licensed Code Geass and Code Geass Akito the Exiled for domestic release. (Bandai had previously released Code Geass on DVD). Lets hope for Blu-ray releases this time!

[News] Barcode Geass +

Barcode Geass: Lelouch of the Sale will be released in tankouban form April 25th, this week!

Code Geass: Shikkoku no Renya #4 is also out...but I don't think many people are reading that.

I'm a little slow, but you can see the Nunnally in Wonderland trailer at Amazon.jp. The bandai site didn't allow overseas viewers so I didn't link there before.

[News] KMF Variations?

There's some new work announcement in this month's Newtype Ace magazine and maybe another announcement in next month's magazine.

Sounds like a new manga, but there seems to be Akito teasers.

More info at [houani's blog]. Any help with translating the info would be appreciated.

ANN has translated some info. It is just teasers for now.

Gigazine.net has news that the third season of Code Geass will (possibly) air this winter (thus, the new merchandise). No word if Code Geass: Bokoku no Akito is still the title.

[News] from Otakon 2011

During the Sunrise panel at Otakon this weekend, there was an open Q&A with Sunrise's anime producer/General Manager of Overseas Development, Masayuki Ozaki.

Q: Can you tell us anything about the new Code Geass spin-off series?

Ozaki: I knew that question was coming. The uh, next season of Code Geass is behind schedule. They're working hard. We're looking forward to releasing it next year. And it will take place in the same world as Lelouch except with different characters. And, the stage is set in Europe, so we'll see a lot of European countries. The new directer is Kazuki Akane, the director of Escaflowne.

Despite being May, I had to check this wasn't actually an April Fool's joke

The Code Geass spinoff I don't think anyone saw coming!

Barcode Geass: Lelouch of the Sale.

It's a new 4-koma manga in the 4-Koma Nano Ace magazine (which apparently only started recently - it's on its second edition, the first having come out two months ago) in which to quote ANN, "the manga re-imagines the anime's title character Lelouch Lamperouge as a part-time convenience store worker." The original story is credited to Okouchi and Taniguchi.

The only question I ask now is: Where are the scans?

ETA: Well, I've found a scan of the first page. Hopefully the rest turns up too, eventually.

Thanks to someone in the ANN comments, I am now imagining this as Code Geass meets Clerks, which is an odd visual.

[Rumors] :/

Everyone on twitter keeps linking to this rumor (also here). Maybe someone here can decipher what it says?

[Info] Code Geass Kiseki no Tanjoubi DVD/Blu-ray

The official website has updated with information regarding the Birthday event DVD. It will be released April 23rd.

Cut for details )

More Info on New Code Geass Project!

Just saw this on 4chan and Sankaku Complex (site NSFW); there's a magazine scan with more info about the new Code Geass project, and it looks like it will be a full tv series.

Low-quality scan behind the cut )

Sadly the scan is so poor that I can't actually read much info, but there's something about a "new birth." Probably not a continuation, but a remake of the original series?

Edit: ANN has part of the scan with info about a possible musical.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-01-06/geass-producer/stage-musical-versions-considered
Until we get higher quality scans I don't think we can get more info than this right now.

More info about the new project [Update 2]

According to the official website, Producer Kawaguchi Yoshitaka said the new project involves manga adaptations, music, goods, and video works.
From MAL
Code Geass Official Site
I'm assuming "video works" = new anime

Also, from the Newtype January issue, there's going to be a new manga series serialized in Shonen Ace.
Cut for scans )

Title: Code Geass: Shikkoku no Renya (from ANN)
Left: The Mysterious Man
Center: Renya
Right: Reefuu C.C
More Images: 1 / 2

Starring a NEW main character, Renya, the adventure of “Code Geass” unfolds once more. A new manga script writer, Goro Taniguchi, makes his debut with the newest “Code Geass” project serializing in the monthly magazine, Shonen Ace. A manga series with Taniguchi, the director of the anime, writing the script, and Tomomasa Takuma doing the artwork. “I show much gratitude to both the head editor of Shonen Ace and the manga artist, Mr. Tomomasa Takuma. I’d like to take on this project as a challenge, being an inexperienced manga script writer,” says Goro Taniguchi.

The long-planned project finally comes to materialize. “The new project, ‘Renya of the Dark,’ will be an episode within the ‘Code Geass History.’ There will be stories from two different eras in the same world. The anime featured the ‘Lelouch of the Rebellion’ chapter, and we see this as the ‘Renya of the Dark’ chapter.” This “Code Geass” will be expressed through manga. READ THE REST HERE
