A recent cosplay shoot for Code Geass R2 Odysseus and Tianzi at Taman Tasik Perdana. This is actually the first time I did a photo shoot for Code Geass character so hopefully the shots are good enough ^^. Warning: lots of photos after the jump, enjoy.

This week the bounty is plentiful! After receiving Saber Lily yesterday another parcel awaited me today. Had pre-ordered Alter’s Yoko Littner from “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann” at Archonia, whom only received it in stock this week, even though the figure has been out for a while now. But she was certainly worth waiting for! Next to [...]

It appears that Code Geass is going to have a new picture drama entitled: "Revival Re:advent"The event is going to happen on December 5, 2009 in celebration to Lelouch's birthday!Big Event: The Miraculous Rebirth [or Birthday or Revival ]Event Info:The main cast has a new picture drama coming out.Surprise!Tokyo International ForumPre-orders start on the 10th of this month.General marketing starts on the 10 of next month.1 2nd edition 7800.3rd edition 6800 yen [about $75-ish in today's market].[Translator Note: I'm not 100% sure about the word "edition" in this line and the next since the kanji here usually refers to the counter for storeys or floors of a building. The word "level" or "release" might be more appropriate.]Fans of course are excited about this and many are discussing whether this could mean that Lelouch is actually alive or he's going to be reincarnated. Other possibilities that I see is that it's just an alternative story/universe, or a what-if scenario, or maybe the staff just wants to drive us crazy. Haha!I look forward to this very much because not only Lelouch makes a comeback, my goddess C.C. and my dear Rolo are also there! Oh December hurry!!!Credits/Note:~ official page for more information about the event~ yedijoda for the translation of the event info

As Code Geass IMO (in my opinion) was a great series, I though that I would do a small tribute to the 1st year from when the last episode of Code Geass R2 aired today. All hail Lelouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Below is my Tribute pic.

Let’s face it. The best part about Code Geass R2 was the bishoujo cast. (I wouldn’t make the same claim about Season 1 which I enjoyed a lot more.) Anya, Tianzi and the expanded role of Kaguya brought much joy to a certain not to be named soon to be arrested Zaku – his [...] Related posts:Code Geass R2 01-02 – Judeo-Christian inspiration?Code Geass R2 Ep 25Code Geass R2 Ep 13

Gigazine (Japanese version) linked me to the official Code Geass blog, where there's some interesting word. Anime Vice intern Eric says that the blogger, Yuu Utsuo, had a meeting at Bandai Visual's Tokyo office. On a whiteboard there she saw the words " Code Geass Meeting," which were written in a section for Jun Yukawa, an anime producer. Now, Yukawa wasn't involved in either Geass TV series, though he produced the special edition of Gundam Wing Endless Waltz and the OVA Gundam 08th MS Team. Combine this fact with the blogger asing her contact "Kichiku no Kicchan," who says that "even after the DVD and Blu-Ray release there's some other stuff going on with the Production Committee and whatnot."Utsuo and the blog readers think that this means there's more Geass in development, and now everyone's speculating. And it's our turn!So, what do you think: will there be a new Code Geass anime? A TV series, OVA, or movie? A spinoff, a remake, or perhaps a reimagining-- maybe even based on Nightmare of Nunnally, an official AU manga in which Nunnally gets a Geass? And hey...what if they did something live-action instead of anime? Can you imagine Lelouch with a voice other than Jun Fukuyama? Go ahead, think about it. What do you expect, and what do you want?

  Anime on DVD reported over the weekend that the first release of Code Geass R2 was different from what was originally solicited: the first part had seven episodes rather than nine.I e-mailed Bandai Entertainment to get confirmation, and was told that the spec info in the original mailer-- which states that specifications are subject to change without notice –was incorrect. R2 is going to be released as four parts, not three. The first part contains seven episodes, and the subsequent parts have six. Bandai does, however, "apologize for the initial information regarding Part 1 being incorrect in the mailer.” Code Geass is a pretty awesome series, but budgets are also pretty tight these days. Will this affect your intent to buy R2?

Supreme trollan’ there, Saki. This episode has left me with no doubt that Saki has the Geass of Mahjong. And Ikeda kinda reclaimed herself with this episode! Look at that near Kokushi Musou! ’s too bad Saki trolled[1] her out of winning. [1](Yes, in mahjong, the ultimate trolling method is to win with a cheap [...]

If Shidou Mariya from “Maria†Holic” isn’t your character of choice to acquire a hugging pillow of, then perhaps this dakimakura by Movic featuring the lovely C.C. From “Code Geass” may be more to your liking? One side features C.C. in a partially undone school uniform looking more innocent than ever, while the other gifts us a [...]

It’s been a while now since the series ended, but on reflection I think the many failures of Sunrise’s 50 episode long Pizza Hut commercial deserve another look. The mistakes the show made are in a lot of ways representative of larger problems in modern TV anime (although honestly I can’t think of any other [...]

As the title suggest, the book features a collection of artworks created by different artists showcasing the leading ladies from “Code Geass”. Offering a good mix between the heroines, each character [...]

One of the Code Geass panelists hadn't even finished watching the series. That actually explains quite a bit.

What do all these have in common? Nothing really.. except it’s what I’ve recently been doing. In New Zealand, Kaikoura is a well known tourist spot on the east coast of the South Island and is famous for its whale watching in particular. It also happens to be where I was for the past four days, [...]

We're pretty used to seeing a lot of stuff about Code Geass stars Lelouch and Suzaku around. After all, between CLAMP's character designs and the strange back-and-forth from emo to GAR to psycho and back again, the two are a fangirl's dream, at least for many.But we can't let those poor girl-lovers go without their own fanservice, can we? So there's a Code Geass Heroine's Tribute art book coming out this May. The book features work by 35 artists, including mangaka group naked ape, Satoshi Urushihara (creator of Plastic Little and Chirality, if you remember those), Atsuko Nakajima (character designer of Princess Princess, animation director for Rurouni Kenshin), and Iono-sama Fanatics creator Miyabi Fujieda, to name but a few.It looks pretty hot to me, and I'd love to get some more art of C.C. and Kaguya in particular. Who are you looking forward to?
