Code Geass (both seasons) licensed by Bandai Entertainment

[Deathwing]

its popular so somebody is gonna sub it even if it is licensed

on another note im glad that the same people who did cowboy bebop are dubbing this they did an amazing job with bebop hope to see a repeat performance in code geass

Come to think of it, the recording studio Animaze is going to be used. That studio hasn't been used a lot recently due to Bang Zoom and Studiopolis taking over Animaze's territory. The only one recorded for Animaze this year is GitS: Solid State Society.

I thought Freeman did a good d*** voice for Siegfriend(in Soul Calibur 3)
So if he gets Lu I think he could pull it off...

by the way whens the first dvd due out?

If i remember correctly, there's no announced date yet for the first DVD.

I agree with the people surprised by Lulu's VA. I really hope Freeman is able to pull of a younger voice than most of his characters. I think he would make a better Toudou.

And maybe Michelle Ruff can voice C.C since M.R had a deep kinda voice which suits C.C's IMO

Hoping the english dub is good

[FireChick]

Maybe they should put this on Encore Action. You know, the channel that has Saiyuki Reload, Gokusen, Samurai Deeper Kyo and Mirage of Blaze?

No way! Given it's popularity and the potential it has, I bet this will be on Adult Swim. I wouldn't be surprised if this was premiere along side with Death Note.

i would be surprised... - DN has more popularity then the geass ironically - well still waiting on those dvds T_T

First post in this thread in almost 4 months!

Bandai is having a Code Geass focus panel over at the New York Anime Festival. It is being held on Saturday December 8 from 3-4 pm. The panel is set to give more of an introduction to the series as well as some "surprise announcements".

Yes, I know this news is around 2 days old.

I SO called it! Code Geass will premiere on Adult Swim!

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...lt-swim-in-usa

English cast list has been announced as well! According to ANN, director Goro Taniguchi helped out choosing the voices so NO COMPLAINING!

Lelouch: Johnny Yong Bosch
C2 (CC): Kate Higgins
Kallen: Karen Strassman
Suzaku Kururugi: Yuri Lowenthal
Lloyd: Liam O'Brien
Tohdoh: Steve Blum
Bartley: Peter Spellos
Clovis: Dave Wittenberg
Emperor: Michael McConnohie
Shirley: Amy Kincaid
Milly: Julie Ann Taylor
Nina & Sayoko: Kim Mai Guest

Hmmm, I'm not going to cast judgment on them until the show actually premieres. Though considering how prolific Code Geass is, the guys from Animaze are really bringing in the big peeps. Let's see if JYB can pull off a maniacal laughter at certain points.

That I saw coming as well, wonder if theyll edit Nina's scene

Hmm appears we may need a Dubbing of Code Geass thread soon.

[ashlay]

I'm a little skeptical about Johnny Yong Bosch playing Lelouch...nothing he's ever done really reminds me that much of Fukuyama.

[nines]

NOOOOO why do we english people always have to ruin the good japanese animes curse us <.<

Kaneda as Zero is a good choice, his voice is a good leadership voice. Sasuke as Suzaku, yay now Yuri plays 2 guys I hate! Ironically both these guys played Renton in Eureka 7, VOICE ACTOR WAR!

Not a big fan with Sakura as C.C.

Liam as Lloyd is a good choice.

No announcements on Cornelia or Euphemia?

[Sirth]

Note: All coming from someone who's never seen Code Geass.

Well, no complaining since the guy above said the original Japanese director himself said he wanted these voices.

Although I do think Bosch is a good pick (To me, he's the Vic of Bang Zoom/ Animaze), I would agree, looking at the characters, that Yuri would fit better. Actually, yeah, since Yuri has done both heroic or nice-guy characters (Luke, Haseo, Yashima), he's also done semi evil or psychotic ones (Asch, Gig. Gig is the prime example.). Considering it seems Lulu has both a goody-wimpy side and a psychotic "YOU WILL SUFFER, DIE, AND SUFFER AGAIN" side, Yuri would fit well. No offense to Goro, but I think if he knew that, he'd of picked Yuri, or switched Lulu and Suzu's actors.

Otherwise, so far, the group has yet to fail me in the acting department (Lotta big names I like), so I'm looking forward to seeing Code Geass in English, as I missed the sub run. I don't watch Adult Swim (Since they put anime on at a time I should be in bed for work the next day), so I'm probably just gonna stick with the DVDs.

So this will air on Adult Swim in Spring of 2008 (most likely replacing Blood+ 12:30a.m. slot) while the second season will air in Japan. It doesn't sound like coincidence since the director selected the English cast and he is in charge of the second series as well.
