Favorite anime series Geass Code is returning with another series after many years of radio silence. Hailed as one of the best anime ever and an icon of the mech genre, the war-filled series will get another movie that will continue the story of the previous one.
The project was announced in December 2020 and fans had to wait over 2 years for any further information to be released. Before December 20, 2023, it was announced that news regarding the project would be announced, breaking the long drought.
A trailer has been released along with key visuals and a list of staff and cast. Titled Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture, the film will be released in May 2024.
Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture will hit theaters in 2024
While one of the main reasons fans love the series is because of its anti-hero protagonist Lelouch, it looks like the show will focus on two other characters, siblings Rozé and Ashe. The trailer perfectly demonstrates how far animation technology has come in recent years, with the animation being much smoother and more vibrant than the original anime. The film won’t shy away from Code Geass’s gore, either, with the goriest trailer possible.
From the makers of Inuyasha, Gundam and Gintama, Studio Sunrise will continue to animate the series and will invite Takahiro Kimura, the main animation director of the Code Geass anime, to participate. Assisting him will be Hidekazu Shimamura, director of YuYu Hakusho and animation director of the two Code Geass films. Kazuhiro Obata (My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising) will be the art director and the sound design will certainly be great as Fire Force, Horimiya and Re:Zero sound director Jin Aketagawa has been hired. The staff is being pushed back, to say the least, with the studio putting all its resources into the film to make it a success.
The film has been confirmed to be released in Japan, and while it is unknown when it will be released internationally, it can be estimated that it will be a few months later based on other popular anime films. Even though Lelouch doesn’t appear in the trailer, it’s still possible that he will return as this movie continues the story of the movies, in which Lelouch regains his memories in the 2019 Code Geass movie and goes on adventures with C2. However, the new characters look amazing and they are more than enough on their own. With such a devoted following, Geass Code‘ the upcoming film is sure to be a hit in theaters.
