Random Musings - GEASS Updates and Tsubasa OVA Edition June 11

Filed under CODE GEASS, Random Musings, Tsubasa Chronicle by Omni | 69 comments

There will be a new theme song for episodes 24 and 25 of CODE GEASS called Hitomi no Tsubasa by access. The song is already being played on the airwaves in Japan, so copies of the full version are floating around the Internet. If you have a Nico Nico account, you can listen to it here, and someone has also put a fan-made opening sequence with that song onto Youtube. I’ve listened to the song several dozen times now and although it started off sounding like an average T.M.Revolution song, I really like it now. The song goes on sale July 4th as part of access’ binary engine album.

Despite the special premieres announcement from last month, there is still no official television air-date for episodes 24 and 25. I believe speculation and sources place the time in early August, but again, no official word. There have been, however, quite a lot of spoilers, much of the former courtesy of anime magazines. According to Celiss Galvea, the confirmed spoilers are:
Show Spoiler ▼

- Suzaku knows about Zero’s Geass; V.V. told him. No mention of Zero’s identity so far (Animedia and Hobby Japan)
- Black Knights will take over Ashford Academy (Animedia)
- Nunnally will meet V.V. (FO)
- Nunnally will finally take action after “finding out about things” (FO)
- Sayoko is as strong as Suzaku (Animage)
- There is a hidden meaning behind Nunnally’s phone call (Animage)
- “Nunnally shares the same blood as Lelouch” (Megami Magazine)
- Nunnally may have known all along who killed Marianne (Megami Magazine)
- Suzaku will get into a pinch, but something or someone will save him (Taniguchi)
- Suzaku may end up in a living hell — “Suzaku won’t be able to die even if he wanted to” and “Suzaku’s future may not be a happy one” (Animedia)
- The Live! Geass will be triggered (FO)
- The Geass on Darlton will be triggered (FO)
- There will be a showdown between Cornelia and Zero (FO)
- Lelouch, C.C., Kallen and Arthur will survive the 1st season. No mention of the others. (FO)
- Rivalz will be “really cool” in episode 24; almost everyone will get their chance to shine in the last two episodes (Hangyaku no YamaYama DX)

Speaking of which, the latest batch of magazines - Newtype, Hobby Japan, Animedia - have some very nice covers. The one pictured above is the spread from July’s edition of Newtype, and you can find scans of the others here. I especially liked the CLAMP-drawn cover of Newtype and the one of C.C. from the July edition of Hobby Japan.

And finally, some other CLAMP related news. A lot of people have been asking me about what happened to the next season of Tsubasa Chronicle since this spring season passed us by without the third series. There’s been a lot of speculation about whether it was because the next part of the story was too violent or because CLAMP was unhappy with the production or whatnot. In any case, it was announced today (sort of) that Tsubasa will be getting a special OVA called Tsubasa TOKYO REVELATIONS. I say “sort of” because publisher Kodansha originally posted the image of the manga’s volume 19 cover on their website with the announcement attached, but they have since taken that image down. Based on what was seen before the image was removed, the OVA will supposedly be available through purchasing volumes 21 to 23 of the manga, but details are still sketchy and will probably become clearer once there is an official announcement.

5. tay at 12:40 am on June 12th, 2007

9. Hypernova at 1:25 am on June 12th, 2007

   But what about the mob and Viletta?!?! Are they going to !@#$%^()_ her?!

10. jen at 1:42 am on June 12th, 2007

    BRILLIANT! (:

11. Angelic Devil at 1:46 am on June 12th, 2007

    i would rather if they’d make a 3rd season of tsubasa instead of just an OVA~~

12. layla at 3:05 am on June 12th, 2007

    omg just omg i can wait for code geass

13. Kannie at 3:06 am on June 12th, 2007

    Nooo~! We still don’t know when it’s airing~! Though, I enjoyed the spoilers!
    Go Code Geass! x]

    “But what about the mob and Viletta?!?!”
    That’s also a big question for me. As for the spoilers, I have expected some of them.
    God, now we are waiting until August.. Dear them if they won’t start the second season in Winter, they had enough time >.

15. GP at 3:14 am on June 12th, 2007

    Great news, I don’t buy much into those spoilers bosted by different mags, but we’ll see how close to fact they are. Either way if that pic says anything, then maybe CC and Lelouch will finally get whats coming to them. So many others have lost people they loved/liked and so forth. Sooner or later if you go around killing others, it’ll come back and bite you on the ass.

    this was well done, I kinda wouldnt mind it being made….but thats the past =(

17. Gil at 3:32 am on June 12th, 2007

    Maybe Cyborg Orange will save Suzaku………….seems to be no mention of him.

    Btw, that picture, Lelouch doesn’t have the permanent Geass in his left eye….

18. Kamui at 3:33 am on June 12th, 2007

    Forget a third season of tsubasa, I want them to remake the second! it was terrible. Why make us wait six month from the end of the first season, to allow the manga to get ahead, if they were going to make it over 50% filler!

19. Gil at 3:33 am on June 12th, 2007

    And Rivalz “being cool”? No f***ing way!

20. ida at 3:43 am on June 12th, 2007

    no announcement on the date(s) the ep(s) will be shown? o.o
