This is such a shitty way of doing things. 45 minutes of the series one year, and 45 the next? Where is the logic in that? Sunrise should finish ALL the episodes and release one every month. That way the fans would have the previous episode in fresh memory before heading in to the next.

Yeah I already can't really remember what happened in the last one and I hate re-watching shows. I always feel the time spent re-watching something could be spent watching something new.

Why do I have a feeling this news is related to Gundam The Origin finally going into production and that new Valverave show coming out in Spring. The way I see it I have little problem waiting for more of this since Spring is already shaping up pretty strong and I don't see it adding much of a new dimension to it with 3 other mecha type shows coming out that season alone. Probably actually smarter to delay it a bit if it's on the earlier side of summer like June.

So, like the previous episode, Summer. I wonder if Sunrise is gonna release the other 2 episodes on Summer 2014 & 2015.

What a bad move. Indeed, they should release them within some months. Not even the production values aren't that good to take such long time.

People complain about why CG OVA not released yet.
Sunrise releases it as soon as they can.
People start bitchin' about future episodes release dates. Poor Sunrise.

But no seriously, releasing a highly-anticipated title while screwing it up with overly long breaks?
Not cool, Sunrise.

If it has the quality of the first episode (that is, mediocre), I don't mind. If they will use the time to improve it, it's good.

Meh they should've done a series instead of movies.

The first one didn't even feel like a movie, it was just like a double length first chapter like F/Z.

The thing is, making this into a TV series would bring its own set of problems.

Not to mention they probably wouldn't have the fight sequences look as good with a TV budget.

Personally, I enjoyed the first episode and don't really mind delays. That's not optimal, but I'd rather they focus on getting things right and not rush just to please impatient fans. As long as the final result is worthwhile, I can accept this.

That's not really a question of laziness but, more likely, one of available resources and budget issues.

In defend of Surise here, this is their schedule that I got from another forum:

Studio 1 --> Gundam Unicorn
Studio 2 --> Boned
Studio 3 --> Gundam AGE
Studio 4 --> Code Geass
Studio 5 --> Kaiketsu Zorori movie, Gintama
Studio 6 --> Tiger & Bunny movie
Studio 7 --> Assisting Gundam AGE (?)
Studio 8 --> Accel World, Horizon, Neragaku, Love Live!
Studio 9 --> Battle Spirits, Binbougami
Studio 10 --> Phi Brain
Studio 11 --> Natsuiro, Aikatsu

So they have their plate very full. Sunrise is notorious with keeping everything on schedule, but studio 4 obviously dropped the ball on this. On the bright side, I have to give props to studio 8 since they are able to produce 4 series at once! That was impressive.

I completely forgot about this. I haven't watched the first one yet, but the average opinion of it seems to be mediocre. I might as well just wait for them all to be released and watch them all at once - I'm only mildly interested in this.

They better make it awesome as fuck then. Otherwise delaying the second part would be completely unnecessary.

So they are drawing at a pace ot 7.4 second every day. Round it to 8 or 9 if you take weekends away. That sounds very slow for a studio that's supposed to work doing that. Anyway I'll just wait, what else can we do?

Well, this is a really bad flop on their part. After a not-so-memorable (although I personally liked it) first episode, they're coming out with the second a whole year later. That's one way to screw your franchise and fans. Code Geass is already somewhat tempered by R2 in my opinion. They kind of needed to put more into this series. Now here's hoping at least the second episode will be good when it does come out.

Not really a problem with me, don't have much care for the movies in general, the entire thing feels recycled. Hell, I only just watched the first movie like last month.

Actually, I'd say the DVD/BD sales for the first episode wlil likely indicate the opposite by next week.

It's got over 30,000 stalker points. While it's an estimate and not a strict figure, there's no way one can call something in that range a flop.

Then again, I always tend to underestimate how much some people will complain about literally everything. It's not that you can't personally dislike this, but hey...this isn't really a huge issue.
