Holy crap! That song is a banger! The trailer left a good impression. Wow, they changed the title from Z to Roze due to the Russian situation (reported by natalie). (Capcom did the same with in the Rockman EXE collection regarding a country in the game). So this was going to be the first (anime) title to not have the MC's name in it. The trailer did show the Knightmare's screen say "Megistus Zeta". Probably just a coincidence. 4 part movie, huh? And I'm assuming the timing will be closing. Would make sense why it took 3 years for a full reveal. So its at least up to 1 hour like Akito (might contain more). They added Shimamura to "character design" when it was originally just Kimura. That pains me. Still can't believe he's gone. This is Kimura's last known work for CG. They added Kawai instead of Nakagawa. Taniguchi isn't working on this himself so it makes sense.

For some reason I was unaware of this project.

That's not surprising, they sort of announced it in December of 2020 and then haven't mentioned it again until now

AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline is an unashamed (in-house) Geass clone and that writer is now writing a spin-off for Geass. Big Brain thinking only Bandai is capable of.

Only the premise was similar on paper. Everything else in AMAIM was closer to a (weak) Gundam than Code Geass.

This has a different director involved and there is the expectation of at least being set in the Code Geass setting at a point in time when said original premise is already resolved (in other words, Japan shouldn't be under occupation or anything like that).

So is this related to the film trilogy? I still need to get around to those.

The Knightmares look so much better than either Akito or Re:surrection, my god am I happy about that!

Yeah. I believe it's been stated that this takes place in the film continuity

Is the movie continuity all that different? I still haven't gotten around to them yet, either -- the impression I've gotten is that the first two (three?) are basically just recaps and the last does precisely what its title implied.

The three recap films have differences compared to the TV broadcast throughout. The biggest ones IIRC are probably that:

spoiler[Shirley doesn't die. When Jeremiah uses his anti-Geass power he notices her acting strange and talks to her a bit which results in her calming down and not meeting Rolo while panicked.

The Black Knights betraying Lelouch is changed somewhat such that it seems to happen more due to the Black Knights there are the time being idiot pushovers than as an actual choice the Black Knights make. Ohgi isn't the one that initially order them to eliminate Lelouch. Rather Kanon does and everyone else just goes along with it. And later on when Lelouch attacks Kamine island, Kaguya and Xingke are shown as still being interested in working with Lelouch and distrustful of Brittania. And later on, after Lelouch becomes Emperor and is in a meeting with Kaguya and the other UFN representatives, they don't do the whole locked up and using screens things.]
.

Both of these are important in regards to what happens in the fourth film. The fourth film in addition to reviving Lelouch sets up some stuff regarding Geass that will likely be important in any sequels.

I don't think this is a sequel however, considering Brittania still seems to control Japan and almost everyone is still in land based Knightmares. It's kind of giving me the feeling of being between R1 and R2 like Akito was. In that case there might be more differences that matter that no one really paid much attention to yet.

Soo...it's...another OVA. And not a full series like they originally announced. And for all us overseas fans, we all know how much love and care Crunchyroll puts into their OVAs.... =_=

They literally never even bothered with Nunnally in Wonderland.

Seriously. The f*ck is happening with this franchise? Ever since Akito the Exiled ended, they've constantly been changing gears on pretty much everything. Resurrection was supposed to be a full blown series. Instead, the footage from the first trailer was actually from the compilation trilogy while the project itself was made as a canon override movie... Then Renya of the Blackness was just unceremoniously killed off without finishing the story. Then Genesic Re:code was announced as a "true" sequel to the original series and Akito, only for it to be absolutely nothing that didn't even last a full year. And their next big series...is now a four-part OVA.

It kinda sucks being a Code Geass fan.

Okouchi himself called this new project the "aftermath" of Code Geass on Twitter, so I think your own assumption above is likely to be wrong in that respect. This is almost certainly going to be a sequel to the Resurrection movie.

Regarding the compilation films...I didn't really think the differences were so huge in practice that they're required viewing or anything. Barely worth the effort of avoiding a raised eyebrow when a certain person was very briefly shown to be alive during the Resurrection film.

These have always been announced as movies.

I had also personally hoped that it would be a TV series, but such a thing was never formally mentioned. In that respect, the disappointment comes from people making their own assumptions in advance.

I haven't heard that name in a long time, but I seem to recall it did reach a conclusion.

Well, that was a mobile gacha game (and not a very fun one, for the record). Those are unlikely to last for too long. There's already another one taking its place.

They were also basically playing with alternate dimensions and other such shenanigans since you could summon characters from almost any point in the story. It never really got around to depicting any events linked to the post-movie world in a concrete chronological sense.

Well that $550 "complete" Code Geass set certainly didn't stay complete for long. Yes, Crunchyroll didn't call it "complete", ANN did, but all the more reason to just skip it and wait for a Super Deluxe Ultra More Complete Collector's Edition down the road.

The sets included in that giant ass box are gonna get standard releases in less than half a year, most likely.

But....then again, as always, it's Crunchyroll.. Gauging their level of shit-giving can be a challenge.
