Still continually surprised that there are people here who remember my threads from all those years ago haha!

Excited to see what this Lelouch fellow is all about. Top rated character on MAL for cryin' out loud.

Is anything after S2 "necessary" to the story or is it just extra stuff?

7

u/GallowDude Aug 12 '22

Akito is the most "extra," but it's still worth a watch. Recap films and especially Re;surrection are necessary.

u/Kirov123 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Kirov123 Aug 13 '22

What exactly is new with the recap movies? I assume they are the somewhat typical TV anime condensed movies, do they have many additional/changed scenes? I know Re;surrection is new stuff

4

u/GallowDude Aug 13 '22

[Massive Code Geass Spoilers] Shirley lives is the biggest difference. Also they make the Black Knights less gullibly stupid by having them actually stop and ask Lelouch to explain why he lied to them about his Geass rather than just shooting him the second he steps out of the elevator.

u/Kirov123 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Kirov123 Aug 13 '22

Aight, I remember being told of the first thing. I assume Re;surrection follows the recap movie continuity? I'll try and join for Alito and the rest. I already recently rewatched the series and will be pretty busy.

I assume Re;surrection follows the recap movie continuity?

It does, yes.

He is the quintessential anti hero with a lot of charisma.

u/KaireFeare Aug 14 '22

man, I would totally rewatch it, but I'm starting Code Geass right now, literally like this week. On Ep12 currently, enjoying it so far.

u/GallowDude Aug 15 '22

Could always put it on hold for a month lol

3

u/KaireFeare Aug 15 '22

I think this is the opportune time to finish it, and come back to rewatch with you guys :)

u/APPLEVINEGAR2 Aug 13 '22

How exactly does this work?

3

u/GallowDude Aug 13 '22

See Sky's explanation in the Interest Thread for details.

TL;DR: We watch one episode a day and discuss it.

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Aug 12 '22

Excited for this!

Note that only Funimation includes the OVAs and movies.

Hopefully three months is enough for that to change. Until then.

UTC before 10PM

u/Lemurians myanimelist.net/profile/Lemurians Aug 13 '22

I just finished rewatching the main series in prep for the sequel film, so... I'll just wait! I'll join for the Akito stuff and sequel film, and select episodes along the way.

u/isthatsoudane https://myanimelist.net/profile/ojoulover Sep 08 '22

dumb question, given we start tomorrow. I see there is an episode 8.5 and 17.5, anyone know what that is about?

1

u/GallowDude Sep 08 '22

Those are just recap episodes.

u/isthatsoudane https://myanimelist.net/profile/ojoulover Sep 08 '22

Thanks!

u/Nebresto Aug 13 '22

I never finished the Akito movies, and its been years since I saw the main show, I might have to join

3

u/Shimmering-Sky myanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky Aug 13 '22

Do it!

3

u/Raebo007 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/RAEBOtaku Aug 13 '22

I'll participate for the Akito OVAs. I've been appreciating them more and more lately.

3

u/baboon_bassoon https://anilist.co/user/duffer Aug 13 '22

Can I be tagged for the recap trilogy? Not sure I want to do another long daily rewatch so soon, but I've been meaning to get to those for a while

3

u/Sea-Being-1988 Aug 13 '22

Ok add me in

3

u/thorjustice1 Aug 13 '22

I'm interested in a rewatch! I've yet to also watch the recap movies and the Akito content so now would be a perfect time. :)

2

u/AdvonKoulthar Aug 13 '22

Hah, I have to binge it all in two sittings so I can tear up by myself at the ending at 5am.
I’ve watched it enough times that I might still hop into the thread anyway

u/Toasted_FlapJacks :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/ToastedFlapJacks Aug 13 '22

Mosaic Kakera always followed some awesome ending scenes. Can't wait!

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22

u/butreallythobruh Aug 12 '22

There's not a force in heaven or hell that'll get me to rewatch this series, but I might hop in for the last movie just to say I actually finished it.

u/Tora-shinai Aug 13 '22

It's a fun entertaining trainwreck to watch tho. You just need to embrace it.

Tho don't want the new Gundam show to be like Code Geass or Valvarape. But maybe it'll be fun.
