『Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture』Act 1 stage greeting commemorating the screening, featuring Mr. Kōhei Amasaki and Ms. Reina Ueda and others! The key visual and trailer for Act 2 have also been released.
Honestly, we're all still incredibly excited about the new 'Code Geass' series anime 'Code Geass: Rose of the Recapture.' This story of 'recapture' featuring the new protagonists, the brothers Rose and Ash, began screening in May 2024, and the first act is currently showing. If you're a Geass fan like me, you've probably been screaming in the theater, unable to wait.
Now, let's take a look behind the scenes of the recent commemorative stage greeting held for the screening. The main cast voice actors Mr. Amasaki Kouhei and Ms. Ueda Rena, as well as Director Ohashi Yoshimitsu and Producer Taniguchi Hirojirou, took the stage. They shared their current feelings after the successful release and behind-the-scenes stories from the dubbing sessions. These always give us more understanding and anticipation for this work.
Moreover, new information such as the key visual and trailer for the second act has been released, and it will begin screening on Friday, June 7. We can look forward to more plot developments and character growth—I can't wait to see the next act!
This anime will consist of four acts. Five years after the previous work 'Lelouch of the Resurrection,' it is set in the United States of Japan—the former Hokkaido region—and depicts the mercenary brothers Rose and Ash confronting the New Britannian Empire. At the stage greeting, they talked about fun stories from the dubbing sessions, like how Mr. Amasaki, who plays Rose, and Ms. Ueda, who plays Sakura, needed to match their breathing in their performances. They said, 'No matter what, we worked hard in the dubbing sessions to listen to each other's performances and gradually completed the work through mutual coordination.'
There are even more interesting stories and anecdotes, such as during dubbing when Director Ohashi was present, the voice actors would ask 'I won't die next week, will I?' (laughs), which lets us feel that everyone was full of passion and enjoyment while making this work.
Finally, producer Taniguchi said: 'Being able to continue this series for 18 years, and to start a new beginning 'Rose of the Recapture' in the 18th year, is all thanks to everyone. Please enjoy until the final act and witness with your own eyes what kind of ending Rose and Sakura will meet.'
We also want to thank this outstanding production team, who continue to attract many fans with their meticulously crafted world view and unexpected story developments. We look forward to this new work bringing us more surprises and emotions—let's anticipate the next act's release together!
