Code Geass : A News and Fan Community

My Code Geass #1 DVD just came yesterday, so I thought I'd take some time translating the extras that come with it. They're all rather short, but some provide interesting looks into the series. And since I'm making a translation post anyway, I decided to throw an old interview I just got around to finishing in there, too. Ah, the days when we only had six episodes, and everything was ripe with promise! (It's still fairly relevant and interesting, though)

I'll be buying this month's magazines this Saturday, so you can expect more shortly. If they're not too long.

DVD Extras

( Oukouchi Ichiro (Main Series Composition) Interview )

I was planning to translate Yoshino-san's interview, too, but since most of it concerns his work and his relationship with Oukouchi, I'm skipping. Maybe I'll get back to it by the time DVD #2 comes out.

Now that the interviews are out, in come the special articles. If there's anyone who wished we're shown Lelouch crackling whips trying to get Suzaku's academic progress into gear (me, namely), you got your wish.

(Highly edited to retain comic effect. Whatever I can retain. Sob.)

( Lelouch-sensei's Britannian History Lecture )

The next is a gun design. I'm too lazy to make out the scribbles, but interesting thing is that Britannian guns use motors instead of gunpowder.
And then, next.

...And now we're back to our usual programming. The official site summary for Episode 16.

Reading through the Code Geass official weblog, I noticed something interesting again that the comm doesn't happen to have. And with my opinion of information being like Pokemon in that we must catch them all, forthwith are interviews from CLAMP, Director Taniguchi and Scenario Writer/Series Planner Okouichi. We're all familiar with the hard facts, but it's still interesting (and hopeful) to know what they have in mind for Code Geass.

I think that means we can look for good, juicy plot after Episode 6?
