Get ready, Code Geass fans! The iconic Sunrise-produced series is gearing up for its 20th anniversary next year, and the celebrations have kicked off with a bang. During today's "Code Geass Project 'To 20th'" event, the official team dropped a massive announcement: a brand-new anime series titled "Code Geass: Aspar of the Star Chaser" (tentative title from the Japanese "Code Geass: Hoshi Oi no Aspar") is officially in production! While a broadcast date is still under wraps, they did unveil the first stunning key visual and confirmed Kazuya Nomura as the director.
Since this is a completely fresh take, the official synopsis remains a mystery for now. However, it's safe to assume it will expand upon the rich lore of the Code Geass universe. What's also up in the air is whether we're getting a new TV anime or a theatrical film – though, let's be real, it's been a minute since we've had a Code Geass TV series!
Confirmed to helm the project is director Kazuya Nomura, known for his work on titles like "Sengoku Basara," "Run with the Wind," and "Moriarty the Patriot." Handling the series composition is Madoka Nozaki, who penned the screenplay for the anime film "HELLO WORLD." Character designs will be crafted by illustrator rolua ( @Rolua_N ).
As a major new project unveiled for the 20th anniversary, fans are undoubtedly buzzing with anticipation about what kind of story this new installment will bring. The official team is keeping us on the edge of our seats for now, so stay tuned for more updates!
