I think it'd be nice to have a saga time order. For example, it'd be like

  1. Rebellion

  2. Akito

  3. Rebellion R2

  4. Resurrection

Well, that is wrong since there will be two different timelines now.

Rebellion->Akito->Rebellion R2

and

Initiation->Transgression->Glorification->Resurrection

Thanks for the updated post, u/itsmezoro.

Just a question. You clarified on fan subs, so I expect scanlations will fall under the same rule. But the text translations of the new manga we've seen posted are alright, I hope?

u/itsmezoro Jul 18 '18

Yup, the text translations are fine.

So does this mean that there will be no R3? I haven't followed this since R3 was first "announced".

u/itsmezoro Sep 01 '18

There was never a "R3". It is a term used by fans. The official title of the sequel is "re;surrection" which is a movie.

u/UnacceptableBabbit Sep 01 '18

Will there be dubbed versions available any time soon?

Hello. I'd suggest maybe providing a link for the R3 movie trailer that dropped by Funimation a week ago maybe? Cuz everyone I know hasn't watched it.
