The video release of the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Kiseki no Birthday event (a Code Geass event that originally took place in December, 2009) is announcing a new anime project called Code Geass GAIDEN: Boukoku no Akito (コードギアス GAIDEN 亡国のアキト). The video of the event will be officially released tomorrow in DVD, Blu-Ray and UMD.
Several sources are reporting that CLAMP will be once again in charge of doing the character design concept for this new project, including AnimeVice. Most of the original staff who worked in Code Geass and R2 will be back for this new anime.
It is still unsure what format (TV Anime, OVA, Movie, etc) this new project will take.
Apparently the story takes place in Europe, 7 years after the beginning of the series. Update: The story takes place in a.t.b. 2017. I said “7 years after the beginning of the series” because I considered the first scene of the series, which is a flashback from 2010 when Lelouch and Suzaku were still kids. Sorry for not being clear! =/
More information should come soon since the video where this project was announced will be properly released tomorrow in Japan.
That’s very exciting news! I really like CLAMP’s involvement in Code Geass, it has brought so many good things in the past, I’m looking forward to what’s coming next.

Ara~~ Will be looking forward for it. I’m very curious on the anime’s storyline! XDDD
Looking forward to new character designs *-*
8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
;D
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Gosh, what else can they do with that story?
Hahahaha I have watched like… 10 episodes of Code Geass? I really am just interested in the new chara designs and new CLAMP illustrations *-*
I thought so XD Are there any sketches or anything yet?
No, nothing. Not even a proper source where you can see CLAMP’s name in the credits. I was reluctant to post this news for lack of official confirmation but some trustworthy websites are announcing CLAMP as part of the staff so I decided to post the news o.o
Will post here when more info (and definitely sketches show up).
Whoaaa o.o Weird.
Thanks for that!
Ooh, that’s good news. I always like seeing CLAMP’s work outside their own projects.
It does well to CLAMP’s popularity to be involved in such popular projects =)
whatever it is, please change the director. Overdone reactions and facial expressions, stick thin appearance and limb disproportion… D: ruined CLAMP’s design damn it
Hahaha unfortunately for you, the director and character designer will be the same :’D
*sigh* it was nice to dream for a while… At least get someone who knows how to DRAW, and tell Jun-kun to calm down… -.-;
face it. no one types with thei hands crossed over on a keyboard. it makes them look stupid.
”

From what I’ve read from other sources, Code Geass Gaiden is set 2017, the same year when R1 started and when Lelouch got his Geass.
So, it’s like you’re saying that it’s supposed to be 2010, when Lelouch is only 10 years old.
Isn’t the beginning of the series when Lelouch was 10? So yes, 7 years later would be around the same time Lelouch got his Geass.
Actually, your statement which I quoted, brought a lot of confusion in Animesuki forums. Please careful with that since one of them used you as a source.
Oh I see how it can be misleading, because of the flashback scene, which people may or may not consider as the beginning of the series.
I’m sorry if I brought any confusion (I saw that someone called me a moron in that forum LOL). I am always very careful with the information I post here, I should have mentioned “a.t.b 2017”. That would do it.
Thanks for pointing that out, and sorry again =/
I heard that character design is by Kimura Takahiro (I don’t know if CLAMP is part of the team).

Yes, he worked in R1 and R2 as well. But CLAMP will do the concept, and he will adapt their design to anime-friendly characters.
Happy news!I’ll give this a chance even if Clamp aren’t in it as long as C.C is in it.
Yay for new designs from CLAMP!!
But I don’t really get it, would it be like an alternative story? AU? new characters? or what?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Thanks for posting it though ^^
