Well in my opinion this looks really good, what are others opinions on it? Has anyone seen it yet? What do you think of it?

Well, I think following Lelouch further would be over-kill . Clearly the makers are trying out a new cast to see how fans react to them. I personally hope they do well and make a third season (technically first season of side story). Also hoping for some more loveable characters =3

I'm sure we'll have a lelouch-like character, in the sense they'll obviously have complex strategies, battleplans and Piloting skills in order to not even win, but supposedly even if they lost, to survive to whole special would take genius.
I, personally, am hoping for a new Lord Jeremiah type person before he got Geass Canceller.

I'm kind of hoping they shed light on the Knights of Round we were never introduced to. I think a few of them never made an appearance of any sort? It's been a while since I finished R2, so... That said, no Lelouch is enough reason for me to want to watch it. I've never liked his character. The Code Geass could expand so far considering how Geass works, so it's been depressing that Lelouch has been in like ALL media thus far. You could cover so much more!

I hope they do so.

I think making an entire third season might be overkill, but in my opinion, R2 felt kind of rushed. Like others said, several Knights of the Round made very limited (if any) appearances and the goings-on in the rest of the world (i.e. the war in Europe as a result of half of the E.U. joining the U.F.N., rebellions in the Indian subregion of the Chinese Federation as mentioned throughout the series, etc.) were barely even touched on if they were even shown at all. I understand that as a Japanese series, Code Geass was obviously going to primarily revolve around the events going on in Japan, but as so many critical elements of the plot (Suzaku being deployed to France, Cornelia's conquest of the Arabian peninsula, the Thought Elevators in Iran, the U.K., Newfoundland, etc.) took place outside Asia, I was hoping to see more of that uniquely "international" element portrayed in the main series.

I'm more content with stuff like this than some kind of a choppy, sellout-y "R3" or another non-canonical series like Nightmare of Nunally which, in my opinion, is passable at best.

Has anyone seen the actual special yet? Was it any good?
I appreciate random VMs =))

Are they really going to continue the series. They should just shop it now. :P
From my understanding, it's not a continuation (in the sense of a third season) as much as an expansion of the first two seasons, with the events of the special occuring as R1 and R2 are taking place.

Anyone wanna correct me on that if I'm wrong?

That's what I kinda meant....I think. Dx
Was thinking about something else as I was typing.

But it's not really that needed :3

Meh, if they were going to continue CG I'm glad they do it with this new cast and not continuing Lulu. (Even though they probably won't go further then the special, unless it's super popular).
