Random Musings – What CODE GEASS Would Look Like If It Were A Harem Anime

My friend Patrik pointed me to this, and it was just too good to not talk about.

I was really floored by the level of quality that this fan-made opening had, including its own h-game style logo and all sorts of flashy effects. It really made me think of what GEASS would be like if it were strictly a harem show. I can only imagine how long it took to make, so a huge kudos goes out to the creator(s).

Random Musings – CODE GEASS News Overload Edition

There was a crapton of CODE GEASS news and spoilers that came out today courtesy of upcoming issues of Newtype and Animage, both of which feature the show on their covers. As you can see on the right, one of the big stories is that Newtype gave an official announcement that CODE GEASS was getting a sequel. Admittedly this was something that most of us had already treated as a forgone conclusion ever since December, but it’s good finally to see it in print. I’m gonna stay away from talking about all the spoilers, but if you really want to know, you can read about them here (a big kudos goes out to poster Celiss Galvea).
