The official homepage of Code Geass: Bōkoku no Akito (Akito the Exiled) has been revamped with some great news.

There will be a screening of this in 10 theaters this summer. Hopefully, a kickoff to a tv series.

There will also be a Code Geass musical (separate from the stage play): Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch -Majin ni Sasageru Prelude which will be an all-male cast! It will play in Tokyo's Tennōzu Ginga Gekijō theater from June 28 to July 8. Cast info here and at Diamond Dogs.

And Code Geass: Nunnally in Wonderland will be made into an OVA this year to be released on Blu-ray/DVD. The OVA will also come with a picture book. ETA: Images from the streaming.

Check out geass.jp and you'll also see spots for other projects. There is a page up for an upcoming Code Geass Social Game, too.

Please add additional information in the comment area as it is revealed today. Thx.

ETA: A separate Code Geass movie has been announced (not Akito-related).

ETA: And an image of an upcoming mech/figure

There will be theatrical event for the Akito series, just like it was for the R2. Limited number of people will be able to see the first episode in cinema before series hit the TV(most likely this fall).

And now that you mentioned it - film project was announced too - http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-01-12/code-geass/lelouch-of-the-rebellion-gets-film-project lol

My body isn't ready for all of this.

The person playing Rolo in the musical is so damn cute. <3 Only watching it for him and the lolsausagefest!.

Well, on one hand, I finally get that musical I was hoping for!

...On the other, the all male cast is new to me. I've heard of the all female troupes, but not all male ones. (Also, given the fanserviceness of the some of the girls, I am not sure how having them played by guys will work.)

A Geass: LotR movie isn't that surprising, since most big animes seem to release a movie these days. The Nunnally in Wonderland OVA is completely WTF, but probably in an entertaining way.

As for Akito... hopefully well get some more detailed reports on things (like whether it's OVAs or a TV series or whatever) soon.

When you abbreviated "Geass: LotR", I thought it meant "Geass: Lord of the Rings" for a minute. LOL

Yayyyy GeassMyu!!! I think it's pretty interesting Zero and Lelouch will be played by 2 different actors :D

I wonder if Yoko Kanno doing the theme song for Akito, means involvement with the show's ost?? Man that would be so epic, and so fitting for the battle scenes. Just look what she's done with classics like Tenkuu no Escaflowne, or more recently, the Macross franchise (like Macross F) :DDD A new track by Sakamoto Maaya along with her involvement in the series is also promising :) And I think Miyu Irino was Syaoran in Tsubasa Chronicle.

It'll be nice if Nunnally in Wonderland is an actual ova instead of a PD *crosses fingers*

An R1/R2 retelling could definitely be interesting, although could completely go in a different direction, like with the 2 recent Macross F movies (which were supposed to be a retelling of theanime, and ended up being not so). But since it's been a while since R2 aired, changes might be welcomed.

We'll just have to wait and see :)

Code Geass: Nunnally in Wonderland will be made into an OVA
0_0
Could anybody tell me what it was originally? an audio/picture drama or an official doujin? because google only finds announcements of this same OVA.

thought it was a picture drama originally and then pvc figures. i'm pretty sure the ova will be fully animated.

Found out that those images are from the OVA. It's a mix of animation and still images.

Nunnally in Wonderland, a film adaptation of Geass, AND all the Akito-related stuff...

DO WANT

[info]ryuakire

January 12 2012, 22:31:41 UTC 4 months ago

.... I'm so happy to be alive right now. Thank you God!!! *tears of joy*

Not only does "Boukoku no Akito" look absolutely amazing, my favorite Sakamoto Maaya is voicing Reira!! (*0*) And I can't even begin to explain how excited I am for the "Nunnally in Wonderland" OVA!!! *flail*

But that movie! I want it! There's no news on what it is yet, (besides it being a Lelouch-related movie), but 2012 is going to be one heck of a year!!!

OVA or TV series that is the question. I will admit the animation and characters look awesome, but lets be serious for a second what are our expectations of this new series? I for one want to see the continuation of Geass itself that Lelouch thinks he destroyed in R2 and more background into it that was glossed over in both series. I sincerely hope it is a TV show as I think the fans deserve a 24 episode series after 4 years of waiting. If its an OVA I will be so disappointed cause I didn't wait this long for a OVA.

As for Nunnally in Wonderland that would be interesting but whats with japan and wonderland? Really i mean we had Miyuki Chan in Wonderland, Ciel in Wonderland, card captor sakura in wonderland(episode in the series) and now Nunnally? Its like there's not enough great classic work in the world they always have to beat the dead wonderland horse?
