| The Code Geass ship sailed long ago for me, but it'll be nice to see Lelouch again. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
I know right? it's overrated |
物事は良くなりますか ？ |
| My main issue with the original two seasons of Geass was that it had a lot of elements in it from various animes that, while entertaining in some ways, also kind of undermined each other (the whole Ashford Academy high school stuff didn't really need to be there, just for one thing). And it sort of wanted to have its cake and eat it too, with how goofy and ridiculous it was that it eventually becomes hard to take the melodrama all that seriously. It was gripping...when I was 14 years old, but nowadays I'm not sure if season 1 would hold up. I mean, it isn't always impossible to have your cake and eat it too (like Jojo which is hammy and over-the-top but still really compelling after part 4), but I don't think Geass quite manages that. And even when I was 16 I thought R2 was really unsatisfying and underwhelming except for the ending, which some people complained about because of the fates of certain characters who they felt got away scot free, but to me it didn't really matter since I felt they wrapped up Lelouch's story in a satisfying way, unlike everything else about R2. I can only guess that this series will show that Lelouch's gambit only lasted for a little bit, which is realistic and expected, but the question then becomes what Lelouch himself is gonna do. If they just recycle his character from R1 and R2, it isn't worth it to bring the series back. There has to be an interesting place for his character to go to, and honestly with how cleanly his arc was wrapped up with R2 I'm not sure that they can do that. |

His survival is not pre-planned. He has been 100% confirmed dead and R2 ending has been one single thing the writers intended to happen from the very beginning. His resurrection is here because for whatever reason Sunrise wants to revive a dead cash mule instead of making new one. |

Awesome~ super excited for this. |
 |
| First place where i found this out was on youtube at 3 am when someone else was following the anime announcements in ANN just minutes after the article popped up. I'm not worried if this new season will make/break it for others because i just want to see more Lelouch. Binge-watching CG again! |

jgomezg said: You're exaggerating, since it depends on your perspective. The ending was planned from the very start, that much is true, but your own interpretation of that "the writers" said is both incomplete and open to debate. It is not "up to perspective" when the official sources uses words like "passed way", "died", "his time has ended" etc or has CC outright refer to him as dead in ZR. Trying to shut down any other interpretations is not intellectually honest. There is absolutely nothing written down where someone asks "Is Lelouch dead?" and the answer provided is "yes, I can confirm Lelouch is dead" in simple and straightforward terms. On the other hand, there is at least one question which was literally answered in the opposite direction. The "Lelouch survival" hoax is easily on the level of the "Dragon Ball AF" Hoax in how fast it spread memetically and how much misinformation there is. I dealt with shitloads of it during the show run as one of creators of CG's biggest club on MAL and it was insanity defined - circular arguments of the same memetic theories, the same photoshopped video, etc, till it devolves into conspiracy theories, name calling, harassment and overall vitriol. Shutting it down before it gets out of hand into pointless repeated arguments that have lasted for TEN YEARS is the most logical thing to do. But enough talk. You've ignored or downplayed any suggestions or evidence to the contrary and insist on looking at only one set of data. I'll wait for newer interviews and extras released in the context of this new project that might either confirm your argument or, what I think is more likely, shoot it down. I am looking at the official information available. Which is unquestionably pointing into a single direction. And I did say that any sort of change in what IS now depends on the future - namely whether Sunrise will pull a Sunrise and retcon something in upcoming recap movies or what they will do in the show. However the argumentation can only use the facts that ARE, not the facts that "could be". And right now what I linked are the only 100% confirmed facts. |

| ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!! Cant wait for more CC x Karen, 2017 hype. |

Kajeki said: Sighs...this is dumb... I loved this show...and this is dumb But if we really need to.open up the horrible shipping wars again my God I'll o it lol. This will be fun. In all seriousness though very disappointing ending wrapped up perfectly with his death and story arc. I kinda hope this is just a Big hoax like him driving the mule cart in that edited video put on YouTube all the C.C fans thought was real... Actually no. The "happy ever after utopia"-ending is simply not something that should be used after ending the conflict with "a common enemy arose, the common enemy died. The end." Calling it "disappointing" doesn't even describe it. I understand what the idea of "Zero Requiem" was about, but it should be evident that this was at best a short-term solution. The anime tried to hard to deny this problem at the very end. The only thing I really hope here is that they don't continue to double down on that point by somehow making Lelouch's "resurrection" be the main reason for the central conflict of the new series. As long as they avoid that, I am glad that they can correct this big mistake now. I just hope that they DO correct that. |
 |
| Even though the ending was satisfying, I always wanted a season 3 and now it's here!!! YES!!! |
 |
| Well, I've got mixed feelings about this. Should rewatch previous seasons, ffs. |
 |
| Ive only just got into code geass but i hope it is as good as the bits that i have watched.. |

| What a great way to kill a legacy. Might as well make another season of Death Note and Cowboy Bebop while we're at it. Lelouch will awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan and LOGH is superior to this prancing pretty boy in every shape and form. |
 |
| they're obviously after the $$$$. i don't see any reason why 3rd season is needed. |
| Well I hope within the 10 years, the creator had a good one built in his mind. I'm already okay of what happened from the previous ones and still okay for the sequel, let's just hope that it'll not ruin this masterpiece. |
Kreion said: Fai said: The answer was already given by the authors when the show aired and it has never been a question. The show is called Resurrection for a reason. Stop spreading false information. An answer was given by one of the authors, which (unless you have the original) was generally translated as they wanted a more open ending. It has literally always been in question - you don't put immortality into a show if you don't want to deal with that shit. Nobody translated it as "open ended" There's literally NOTHING indicating that.Only one outcome has proof while other is literally tinfoil hat theories not supported by the material. The author even explained WHICH PARTS are open ended in the ending. Lelouch's fate was planned from the start of the show. I am not spreading false information, I am combating it. I have dealt with hoaxes like that for years and heard pretty much every single "argument" presented. At this point its a a self defeating never ending cycle of same hoax theories being repeated and debunked ad nauseum. Till there's no new information, only one outcome is supported by the story material. Sure they could retcon it in the upcoming show but right now there's only one outcome that is there. |

| Lelouch has the power of the King. Even though Lelouch's ambitions were mainly for his sister, he was also a proud and usually egoistical person. He enjoyed his power and people like this don't like to die. However i don't think that he told anything to Suzaku. That he might got the code of V.V. (after making Charles disappear.) C.C also needed longer time to heal depending on the wound she got. So I think he just disappeared, living in peace after doing his part. However, this feeling of not doing anything will get boring to him. He needs an hobby. If they connect this sequel with the Boukoku no Akito movies, this could be interesting (which would be amazing in my opinion). But enough of theories, Season 3 is pretty much confirmed now and we get to see 3 recap movies with new material (rewatched for 5th time the whole CG Story, so I'm prepared for this year :D) |
| Best anime news in years. When I finished second season I was so depressed and later I searched all kinds of forums for weeks trying to prove my theories and even rewatched anime 3 times. If somebody told me 5 years ago I was right I wouldn't live all this years in doubt and hope. Super excited for new season. Akito was garbage. I hope it can live up to high expetations. |
| I revoke my last comment. I'm super hyped. |
 |
| This is absolutely crazy ALL HAIL LELOUCH |
| Event BD DVD Release Comment w. the Info. Announced. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
YES!!!! THIS IS AMAZING! HYPED UP! |
| (Gilgamesh to Saber) "NOTICE ME SENPAI!!!" People die when they are killed -Shirou Emiya, Fate/Stay Night "Lelouch is a god" -Lelouch Lamperouge (JK me) |
| Lelouch did not die. The only reason Lelouch needed to die was so the general populace would believe he was dead. Why would Lelouch, a character who has spent a whole two seasons manipulating others to get what he wants, fail to do that in the climax? Why would a master manipulator actually die, when they can just trick others into thinking they are dead. In the given scenario, Lelouch's death would go against character and make no sense. |
| here marks the end of all the stupid theories about the ending of r2 |
 |
| Kinda ruins the ending in a way too. I mean obviously the reason they are making this is £££s. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| I'm one of those who REALLY wants a third season, but had a feeling that it'll only f*cked up the greatest ending of season 2. |
