If there is anything preventing a U.S. license of Code Geass, it would be the Pizza Hut product placement (who knows how that was hashed out in the beginning and what kind of licensing issues it could cause) and possibly concerns about percieved political messages.
After Gundam SEED Destiny, I wouldn't put anything past them. Based on how things were paced in the early 40s, one would think (and hope) they were going for around 70 episodes but no, they just crammed their re-written plot inot the remaining 5 episodes. And they even found time to spend half an episode shopping and trying on clothes.

Yes! More Code Geass! I'm still on the first season, of course, but it's great to know that there'll be lots more a-comin'. I was getting a little concerned, because, as some have mentioned before me, Geass has way too complex a plot to resolve in a mere 26 episodes (or 25 or how many ever – still need to get there).

This show is great, except for one thing I don't understand:
If they eat so much pizza hut, shouldn't the characters be in the bathroom afterwards for half of the show? |

Just to interject, CG is the kind of show that needs TV exposure, and while I doubt the Pizza Hut advertisements would hamper a DVD release, it certainly wouldn't go well on [adult swim] where it deserves to be showcased. Hopefully, the delay in aquiring agreements with Pizza Hut in the US might allow a certain fun animation anime distributor/dubber to aquire it... Also, CG II could be bad news, since a lot of people seem to think the anime will follow the manga's three seperate adaptions by using a different character's POV for each new season. Frankly, I won't even touch "Code Geass - Suzaku of the Counter Attack" since "Lelouch of the Rebellion" is far more interesting and less, well, anal. |

It's a mecha anime by Sunrise. I don't think there's any question as to which company will be licensing it. It would probably do well on YTV in Canada if they were to pick it up in the future, since mecha always seems to do way better here (ie: Gundam, the various Transformers anime). However, E7 would be a tough act to follow, and Geass is only decent. Of course, after GSD finishes, who knows what peoples' expectations are going to be like.

even tho i liked eureka7 as well, Code Geass is far better, imo. eureka7 never had me shaking from anticipation of each episodes like Geass did. |

They could very well change the name (or subtitle) of the series for this new season, I've seen it happen plenty of times. Also, he might have meant that Lulu was the main character for THIS series, maybe he's count a second season of CODE GEASS as a separate series?
To give you an example, Ah! My Goddess Sorezore no Tsubasa is the second season of the 2005 Ah! My Goddess series but it's still considered it's own series. =P -Karasuhebi |

I don't see why Pizza Hut wouldn't want Code Geass to advertise it.
From what I see, watching Code Geass has caused a lot of people to eat PIzza Hut. I know I have Although CG is fasted paced, at this rate I don't think it will be solved in 6 more episodes. I would think after "Lelouch of the Rebellion" they will probably create "Suzaku of the Counterattack" to take advantage of its popularity. But of course I would get annoyed at Suzaku and miss Lulu (as he's much more interesting) |

I'm sure Pizza Hut wouldn't mind the advertising, but it could still be an additional hoop for a licensor to jump through depending on how the contract works (if Pizza Hut in Japan and here are the considered a single entity, it may not be an issue but I suspec they are two different entities). And then there is the question of whether Pizza Hut would want money for using their logo (even if it is free advertising). If they did, that would hurt things.
Of course, these are all just a bunch of "maybes" and "what ifs" since none of us know how it was hashed out in Japan in the first place. |

can't they just edit out the pizza hut logo? seems like it would be easy
also, i don't think they would change the point of view. it doesn't seem like there are enough episodes to conclude the plot in this season. besides, suzaku is a boring character...no one wants to see things from his perspective! |
