The details of the Code Geass anime film trilogy have come to light as the first teaser for it has been revealed and the dates with the individual posters as well. The series of films will work with the subtitles of Awakening, Rebellion, and finally Emperor, with them landing on October 21st, 2017, February 2018, and finally May 2018. Interestingly, the cast will be re-recording their roles with just Nobuyuki Hiyama coming on to play Shinichirou Tamaki due to the original voice actor, Kazunari Tanaka, passing away last year.
The original TV series is getting a rebroadcast on BS11 this fall as a weekly hour-long event, and we won’t be surprised by more Code Geass projects appearing if these do well enough.
Plot Concept: In 2017, parts of the world are under the control of the Holy Britannian Empire. Japan is now known as Area 11, the proud people treated as lower class citizens. Lelouch Lamperouge was once a Britannian prince but when his mother was assassinated, he was left in Japan and thought to be dead. After getting caught up in a terrorist attack, he encounters a strange girl known as C.C., who grants him the power of Geass and the ability to command others.
With his newfound powers, Lelouch becomes Zero, a rebel leader for justice, and forms his own anti-government group. His goals are simple: get answers about his mother’s murder and make a world that is worthy of his beloved little sister, Nunnally. Even with his Geass, Lelouch will encounter countless challenges. But nothing can prepare him to face his former best friend, Sazaku Kururugi, a Japanese citizen…and soldier of Britannia? The power of Geass: Is it a blessing…or a curse?
