Lelouch gives fans a present on his birthday, or a tease?
by Jeff Chuang, 12/05/2009
Lelouch gives fans a present on his birthday, or a tease? photo

This is totally in the viral marketing category, but Code Geass's cellular phone site in Japan just tossed up a cryptic message today, announcing something about a new Code Geass project. What we know for sure is fan speculations run rampant and rabid Geass-freaks might not get a lot of sleep today, because they didn't say what this project is. In fact, there is little that we can say for certain at this point. Did you know Lelouch's birthday is December 5th?

Below is the cryptic message translated.

New Code Geass Project Launch Green-Lit!

Expect a followup report in 2010!

This is a rebirth...a new birthday.
Beginning today, Geass will move towards a new level.
Before long, you will all encounter this new Geass
Hope for it. Wait for it. Long for it!

Had you forgotten?
Geass is something akin to a wish.
That's right.
If you all wish for it, Geass will once again...

ZERO

You can see the original image below. Your guesses are as good as mine as to what ZERO means by all of that. Speculate away! For starters, why a cell phone site? Why not Twitter or an entire fake site? What does that suggest about the project? Is it something tied to Japanese cell phones?

Oh no, this will probably reignite the whole "Lelouch is Alive!" debate again. Well anyways, my excitement for Code Geass died down around the 2nd season (or probably late in the first), but either way, I'm still glad that a "rebirth" of the series is in the works. Also...that main image looks nice.

I predict an anime version of one o' them spinoffs.
 
Dan CiTi

FUCK YES!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LULU! R3 LETS ROCK!!
 
The-Excel

Since when did Soma Cruz dye his hair black?
 
ShinuZERO

Hehe, today is my birthday too. Cool to know I share it with Lulu :D
 
Mikorio

I ENVY YOU SHINUZERO I wan't Lulu's brithday too!!

IT'S THE TRUE RETURN OF LELOUCH.

If that's the Suza-Zero in that picture I'll kill something. I really will.


 
scientist

i live in holland and today is a holiday called sinterklaas.
never knew lulu's birthday was on the same day as this santa rip-off's! :3
 
Golden Turd

I happy birthday, SinuZERO.


 
The dark prince

Hmm, I feel mixed on this. What more could they do besides a spin-off. The only thing they haven't done is give us CC's real name.
 
Rewarp

The new Geass might be based on sound, if the first is based on the eyes. May explain the use of a cell phone site.
 
Rewarp

One more thing, according to statistical probability calculation, in a group of 23 randomly chose people, the chance of two of them sharing the same birthday is more than 50%.

It's the Birthday Problem
 
Zepwich

Happy birthday Lulu!

@Rewarp
I noticed they always had a an emphasis on cell phones in the series.
 
MistakenChild

Happy Birthday Lelouch!

Can't wait for more Geass.
 
killerpickles

I do want some more Geass, oh yes I do.

 
Pangloss

ALL HAIL SHINUZERO!
 
atunderdogk

isn't geass done by sunrise? if so, i feel like they might give geass the gundam treatment and have different eras and universes and whatnot. i mean, theres plenty that happened in the first two seasons that obviously show there's more they could go into.

and besides, lelouch of the rebellion was treated more like a sub-title to code geass. maybe there won't be a rebellion this time. maybe there will be another zero with the power of geass in some other time period??

i'm pret-ty excited about this.
 
LuLu

there's more than enough reason for me to come back for a third season, and even if i don't make an appearance in this new show there's still a lot left they could do. I agree with atunderdogk, if it turns out to be a new anime I would say that a different era would be the most likely option.
 
otaku1

holy shit I shar a burthday with the empoer yay
 
AQua ng

Pfft, everyone knows that Spice and Wolf was the continuation of Code Geass.
 
PBz0r

ZERO?

Anime prequel. R0. There couldn't, no, SHOULDNN'T be a sequel, anyway.
 
Dan CiTi

@atunderdogk

I like that idea, they could also get into the Suzaku of the Counterattack or Nightmare of Nunnally stuff.

 
zzz777

Who was supposed to be the (new) king of Britania now? I mean right after the R2 last episode?
 
FifthDream

It'll be a movie that recaps the whole series, with twelve minutes of new footage crammed in which will change the entire plot, causing half of fans to entirely hate it, and the ohter half to proclaim how it is the best thing to happen to anime ever.
 
Jon Snyder

FifthDream, that's the most accurate prediction I've ever heard anybody make.
 
Pentence

i tend to agree here with this consenesous .Its likely to be a movie. The first season would be an awsome 2-3 movie piece. The second realy could be summed into one movie decently enough i think.
 
Fishcaek-Chan

OMG Theshitfawk!!! How coool!!! Is this new series rumors have been spreading around? Or an adorable Lelou cellphone strap?xD With info this vage, who knows what we'll get?!x33 Can't wait~;D \
Happy Birthday Gorgeous~
 
matrixdude

You can't bring him back, you killed him! That was the whole point of the second season's ending. If this is a movie, it'll be like FifthDream's description.
 
Gee-Man

They better not bring him back, he's dead for a reason! Having him alive again would undermine the entire point of the second season's ending. If there's something new coming, I figure it'll probably be an animated version of one of the spin-offs or an Evangelion 1.01-esque movie remake.
 
zzz777

At the end of R2 last episode, CC talked as if lelouch was there....mmmm....
 
Rank57

I call for ZOMBIE LELOUCH AND THE GEASS THAT TURN ANYONE WHO SEE IT INTO A FREAKING ZOMBIE!
 
NightyNight

Lelouch was THERE .
Spoiler : He can't be dead bcoz Nunally saw the past of his(Lelouch)deeds , meaning Lelouch has obtained Immortality give by his Father(Charles) who received from V.V(Charles's Brother) .

But I've heard that the Code Geass won't be starring Lelouch Vi Britainnia anymore , but rather someone that looks like him from another story setting .
