This is basically a 1 hour promo for the upcoming CLAMP/Sunrise animation project, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. It features a brief storyline of the first episode, interview with the voice actors, Fukuyama Jun, Sakurai Takahiro, and Yukana. There is also a brief interview with Director Taniguchi Goro and series composition Oukouchi Ichiro who once worked together on Planetes. Halfway through, the special shows a group of young girls audioning for a role in the show through beauty-pageant like contest B-Girl Audition. The special ends by showing a few minutes of the opening theme Colors by FLOW and ending theme, Yuukyou Seishunka by ALI PROJECT. Overall, I thought it's an okay promo which makes me interested a bit about the series but also apprehensive at the same time. I have more impression below but I decide to seperate it because it contains minor spoiler. As a side note, I've created a new category called 'Preview'. This will contain the first few episodes that I watch before I decide if I want to include them in my regular schedule or not.
