Code Geass : A News and Fan Community

Well, the Official Site updated, and now we know what the Picture Drama for vol. 8 is going to be. I know quite a few people who would be very happy with this.

1．ピクチャードラマ
幸せな時代。―ルルーシュとナナリーが、我がままな子供でいられた時のお話
（脚本：吉野弘幸／作画：木村貴宏

Picture drama : Halcyon days. A story of the willful children Lelouch and Nunnally once were.

In other words, we're getting little details of how Lelouch Vi Britannia used to live. Finally.

They also have half the result of that superior/subordinate poll up. Ranks thus far :
10. Rivalz
9. Kewell
8. Shirley
7. Guilfod
6. C.C.

The 'Favourite Scene Through Season One' contest results are out on the official site.

( Which scene is the fairest of them all? Cut for spoilers )

You know what I hate most in translation? Aside from words with no direct counterparts in English, it's those sentence structures you understand, yet cannot phrase in English without being utterly clunky or losing a lot in the translational process. Although Technical Japanese would take a close second. (gg translator-san, I admire you for ploughing through this stuff by your ears. Ugh.)

Thus, I bring you the History of the Knightmare Frame, as provided on the official Code Geass site. Aside from being interesting, it also partially answers that million dollar question of why Lelouch could pilot a Knightmare Frame like it was plug and play, if you didn't already know. There are currently 4 parts, I'll translate whatever comes after (if there's anything after) in 3-parts portions or until the end, whichever comes first. There might be grammatical incorrectnesses in this, I've just recovered from a week-long period of braindead, do point out to me and I'll fix if you wish.

It might be useful to remember that the Code Geass world does not have internal combustion while you're reading this.

EDIT : By the way, the 2nd Character Poll is now up on the official site, in case you haven't been going there. It's in bright Orange letters and very noticeable. Go vote, even if you have! The Order approves of cheating at polls! ^^

New items on the official website :

- Sunrise opened up a staff diary here, but there's nothing of note up right now.
- For amusement, check out how the staff came up with the Lancelot's poses here.
- They're making and selling Code Geass trading cards, on sale on January 2007 for 420 yen. Further information/pictures at this or this place.
- They've opened an official poll results page, not like we don't know the results already, here. It seems there were about 100,000 votes overall. Cripes. The 'present' to us fans looks to be a wallpaper that would be further detailed/put up on the official blog. Now? We have commentary from FukuJun, seiyuu for the reigning (and probably continuing) champion :

I'm surprised! Did he really actually get first place!? I'd always figured it'd be Orange---*cough*! Er, no, what I meant is that Code Geass has so many unique and charming characters, I didn't think the main lead would get it. Good thing I went and put that mask on...
However! Moreso than Lelouch getting the top rank, the best thing is the sheer numbers of votes we've got! With so many people watching and rooting for us, recording for each week is going to be quite something!
I'll try my best so Lelouch can go on leading Orange---I mean, the rest of the cast to first place! Please have fun watching each episode from now on! m(_ _)m
Thank you very much!


...So FukuJun actually put on a mask when voicing Zero. Don't you love how dedicated Japanese seiyuus are? Unless he was kidding. Though really, Fukuyama-san, Lelouch is pretty much the most unique and charming out of the cast

- New OP artist = Jinn, New ED artist = SunSet Swish. Don't ask me which episode we're getting those, however. (Edited thanks to _obliviondust)
