'Code Geass: Dakkan no Rozé' Unveils Lead Cast, Additional Staff, Trailer, May 2024 Premiere

The original character designer passed away earlier this year. Wonder much involvement he had in this, if any. Also listed under KA.


@deg Sequel as in it takes place after the events of the movie. This basically seems like a spinoff like Akito telling stories about different characters as said in the post credit scene of Resurrection although Akito takes place in between R1 and R2 (?)

Lelouch and others will make short cameos I guess.

This was announced to be a thing long back ago if i'm not wrong. They took so much time just to present something which looks completely new altogether lol.

There cannot be a code geass without Lelouch. And nah, cameos won't count as a replacement. 

@Softhenic03 yeah I agree. Even Death Note without Light can exist. Code Geass without Lelouch? Naaaaah. He carried the story for me, I dropped both Akito OVAs and Renya manga because it had nothing to do with Lelouch

@Etherius_ZS ye it might be like akito then where cc and lelouch and other original cast just have small appearances so im not sure im gonna watch this now

@deg
I will watch it for sure and you can ask me HERE later if you want to know my thoughts, so you can watch it

Hopefully, it will help you decide on watching it...maybe...

@Etherius_ZS After the film? Did they accept the trilogy version as new canon? But Ichiro said that the events of the remake take place in an alternative universe.

@RobertBobert I mean, yes, it's a different universe from the TV show, this is just set in that new universe just like the movie was.

@Softhenic03 yeah I agree. Even Death Note without Light can exist. Code Geass without Lelouch? Naaaaah. He carried the story for me, I dropped both Akito OVAs and Renya manga because it had nothing to do with Lelouch

if this is the sequel then why the original cast is missing where is cc and lelouch

@deg It is a sequel though.... of the Akito movies. If you havent seen those movies they take place in an alternate universe.

was so excited when I saw this, this morning. I hope the movies will be an international release. hjkdsdskhj my god I've been waiting for madoka and this to come out for like forever and they're both coming out next year. I hated the spin off akito movies but I'm willing to give rozé a chance. I do wish that they just stopped after the second season of the series tho, can't have code geass without lelouch. if they wanna mess around with alternate timelines/universes or whatever this is then whatever I guess lol. ain't gonna lie I thought roze was a chick till I watched the trailer, had my fingers crossed for another ange for no reason lmao

A resounding.... meh.
Whoever is currently running Sunrise desperately needs to be fired. They recently announced a Netflix Gundam show that's going to be insanely woke (the writer, Gavin Hignight, has a history of woke cartoon writing under his belt, and that's NOT a good sign). Mustn't forget G-Witch which was an absolute misfire of a show written for neither the yuri fan nor the mecha fan (like, guys, if you're already making a yuri mecha show, make the lesbians sexy, not moe). And now this, a sequel to a movie that was a half-assed attempt at quick nostalgiabux for people who grew up with all the Geass memes.

At this point the only things from Sunrise I definitely want to see are the remaining Hathaway movies, whenever they get made, and the SEED movie which looks like it's going to be an amusing dumpsterfire, not a sad one like G-Witch was.

It was said that the decision to change the title from "Z of The Recapture"—more specifically to avoid using the "Z"—was made in light of the current global situation. https://twitter.com/AIR_News01/status/1736768583022395756

make sense about the ukraine vs russia war going on

@deg is this what the creators said themselves or are people just speculating?

Granted this isn't from the original creator duo so they may not want to be as blatant as Code Geass R1 & R2 were at allegorising then-current events.

"🔥 Mark your calendars! Code Geass is back with 'Rozé of the Recapture' hitting theaters in May 2024. A star-studded cast, stunning visuals, and MIYAVI rocking the opening theme 'Running In My Head'—this sequel is set to be epic

So is this set after the films or the original season 2 ending?

@AnimePedestrian As far as I understand after my discussion above, a new film continues the compilation trilogy and a new film that rewrites the series finale.

@RobertBobert I see... I'll have to wait to see.

@AnimePedestrian Ichiro said earlier that the new films take place in an alternate universe, so if the issue of (new) canon is very important to you, then this is more of a soft reboot.

@RobertBobert I just only have seen season 1 and 2 and this popped up and I'm trying to work out what you need to watch prior. Originally I thought it was gonna be like an Akito the Exile situation

@AnimePedestrian Well, the original Geass was made with some of Sunrise's mistrust of the outcome, plus Ichiro and the director made some decisions semi-seriously while having fun (for example, the design of the emperor was created according to the "most ridiculous" ideas.). Perhaps they decided to do some kind of soft reboot when the franchise began to be taken too seriously to maintain continued interest.

@RobertBobert I see, I guess Code Geass is best when its fun and not another Gundam.

@AnimePedestrian I don't know how true this is, so I'll call it an urban legend. There is an urban legend that, at least in the past, Sunrise considered the Gundam tag to be a curse and therefore periodically released non-UC drafts as original mecha with their own idea and branding. According to rumors, Geass was originally exactly like this, but after reworking, Ichiro and Co. changed the setting on original. Judging by how G-Witch was described before his intervention as some kind of hard-boiled military action with a female edgy pilot (come to think of it, the new CGI Gundam looks suspiciously like the draft described), Ichiro generally likes this kind of moves.
