Come, join me on my new adventure...of quasi-EEEEEVIL!
Lelouch, Suzaku, Nunnally, and a tiiiny C.C.
What form will it take? What does it mean, that it'll be a "new birth" of the series? And while the image is anime, there's also a small chance that it's not an anime project at all-- it could be live-action, or even a new manga, although that seems less likely to create such fanfare.
Let the speculation begin! What will it be? What do you WANT it to be? (I'm personally hoping that they'll animating the Nightmare of Nunnally, an AU take on the series in which Lelouch's little sister scores her own Geass ability.)
omg really and how is it possible then he survived at the end then;o
Zombie Lelouch comes from the grave to haunt the living once more!
Lelouch is one of my favorite anime characters. I really don't want them to mess with that ending. I wasn't 'happy' with the ending, but it was satisfying none the less. To have a hero make him self the enemy of the world so he could bring peace to it.
I'm more curious if they are going to take the property and make it more like a Gundam series. A new story with a different twist of events. I am praying this wont be a prequel.
I don't really know if they could do live action. Those voices are just so iconic to the characters. Not to mention that live action versions of such sci-fi heavy shows always feel goofy.
Dun dun dun.
If there is a return, I hope it's more about the whole political strife/mech battle/rebellion acts themes the first season explored. I somehow got kinda annoyed at the second season's decision to just be like AHHH HAHAHAHA SUPERNATURAL WHAT I DUNNO DUDE GODS AND POWERS AND SHIT.
@Hellos: HA! I haven't seen that thing in weeks now.
The only way I could really see it working would be taking place in the same world, maybe X number of years in the future with a [mostly] new cast of characters. I feel that the current cast is pretty well resolved by the end of the second season, and they couldn't continue it without some heavy retconning. If that were the case (same world, new cast) I would probably dig it. Not a prequel, but an actual continuation of the world.
I mean, if they end up having a certain character that shall remain nameless for spoilers end up surviving a certain event at the end of season 2, it'd ruin the impact of that entire ending for me. That was what gave it impact to me, I hate it when series/games make the character alright afterall (looking at you Persona 4). It just really takes the impact out of such scenes. I'm not saying I want characters to die left and right, but the way it happened in Geass is what made the entire ending (and thus the series) worth watching. It was an emotional impact that would just be greatly lessened by a cheap ploy for more money.
If they DON'T do that, and either continue with the remaining cast or take place in a future well past any of the characters lifespans, then I am all for it. It's a great series with great character designs ( <3 you CLAMP) and a really strong story. If that can make that happen in a new way without butchering what came before it? Bring it on.
Christ, I've been missing out on some stuff. I was unaware of both mentioned there D: Serves me right for having my mind set on nothing but Darker than Black.
Don't know what they entail, all I can really decipher is that the crew at Sunrise picking the titles for their series' suffer heavily from aphasia or something.
I really really hope they won't do that. Then the whole Zero Requiem wouldn't make any sense at all. But then again, if they don't do that, they have to try hard to make it more interesting than season 2. The ending season 2 left us with didn't make any room for a new season and ended the series perfectly, so I'm really interested in how can they make it better. If they can make it better.

Both Knightmare of Nunnally and Suzaku of the Counterattack take place in another universe, so it doesn't have to conflict with the established lore, or follow it. Well, I think Suzaku might just "Lelouch of the Rebellion" from Suzaku's eyes... but Nunnally is about what if she got a geass instead of lelouche, or something to that effect, but I haven't read them.
I don't get quite what you mean by the biblical allegory. If you mean sacrificing one's self to save the world, the analogy is a bit off. Lelouch died after making the whole world hate him after he had conquered it. Only the smallest handful of people realized what had happened and they weren't to talk about it. Jesus wasn't actively setting himself up to be killed. It was more just his fate it would happen, and the story was suppose to be spread of his actions.
I can see how they must have decided this.
"You know, we had a fantastic, very final and close-up-show series..... Let's piss all over that".
If they really are going to do something... let it be an alternate take. Don't ruin a good thing.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i hope it happens!!
And of course, there is still the possibility that it'll be something entirely unrelated to any of these series-- a prequel, a much-later sequel, a completely new reimagining, etc.
Wouldn't be the first time.
