Because R2 more or less killed any future conflict or development that might happen.
And while they could continue to make prequels, prequels are usually cheapened by the fact that the end results are predetermined. For example, in Akito, we already know they can't make any decent headway against Britannia, and if Suzaku ever gets involved he won't ever be defeated, because R2 has to happen as is. They'd probably like to move past that. Plus it's the new thing to make a anime film based on mecha series that changes the story. Eva started it, Macross Frontier, Eureka 7 and Aquarion followed it. Now it's Geass's turn apparantly. |

In the end, whether or not this is "cheap" depends on the viewer's expectations. I don't expect Akito to alter the large scheme of things, but that doesn't stop me from finding the exact details and specific developments involved to be interesting, especially since the European front is essentially a blank slate in most ways. The known "end results" are barely a rough outline, which this new story can at least partially re-interpret from a radically different point of view, considering all the existing gaps. Likewise, we already know what will ultimately happen to old characters like Suzaku or C.C. but it's still nice to get a little more information that expands on their biographies, so to speak, since we never even got a glimpse into C.C.'s actions as head of the Geass cult (which is the period when she apparently met Leila) and Suzaku's screen time in Europe was previously limited to about five minutes or so. He won't die here, of course, but someone like him can fufill another role. Quote:

In a way I think most fans of Code Geass would love to see a reboot of it. And personally I would as well, Hopefully sunrise would give the writers more faith and allow them to do the material they wanted to do, at the pace they wanted to, and to the degree it was capable of. But somehow I doubt that will happen, Sunrise always move on to either the latest Gundam series or Gundam clone series.

To turn this thread around a little bit...what would you change about C.C. for a reboot?
I'd keep her almost entirely the same in terms of character. Just focus on filling in some of the large blanks remaining in her background and personal history. |

Nope! Code only pass down to some one has strong enough Geass, and because there is no record of children that has Geass since the day they were born (I'm pretty sure that the children of Geass Order were kidnapped), so your assumption is invalid.
And an army of Witches is not enough. The one she should try to archive is an army of Demon Witches! |

I just got through with checking out some of the Picture Drama stuff and I have a question for Episode 8. The one where CC & Cecile were having their talk. Is it just me or did it seem somewhat weird with the way CC responded to the question on if she loves Lelouch? I mean it sounded like she was trying to figure out if what she may feel for Lelouch is truly love. Hence why the long pauses and whatnot. Then her answer "If it was love then I wouldn't be here", along those lines. It sounded like it was said somewhat melancholic. Maybe I'm just interpreting it wrong? It would be appreciated if I can get other people's interpretation.

Didn't C.C say in the penultimate episode that "she decided to stop accumulating experiences, and she would try to live "properly" from that point?" (I'm paraphrasing but you get it) ; that came after Lelouch promised to make her smile and while she was unsure whether she loved him (note : Kallen asked her while battling together to which C.C. responded "who knows?") we are to assume, that she did...then again, who didn't love Lelouch loool

Depends on whether you watch Code Geass in Japanese, a fansub, or the English Dub. In the English it is made clear that CC was in love with Lelouch because when she and Kallen fight CC realizes she is fighting to win and that she actually cares (something she didn't do before). Also one of the picture dramas talk about this.
Also, we have to take into account the events of both Akito and Renya with regard to CC and Lelouch. However, we have a new series coming up and so what came before will be subject to whatever new material comes out. We may finally get to see CC and Lelouch as a couple.
