The next chapter of the Code Geass franchise is coming into focus. The official website for Code Geass: Hoshi Oi no Aspal (Code Geass: Star Chaser Aspal) revealed the series' main cast, additional staff and main visual on Thursday.
Anime News Network reported that Ivan Shibata and Hibiku Yamamura will star in the new series, which is being produced at Sunrise โ the studio that has shepherded the franchise since the original Lelouch of the Rebellion made it one of the defining mecha-political dramas of its era.
The coordinated reveal of cast, staff and key art is the franchise's standard ramp toward a premiere, though a broadcast date remains the piece fans are still waiting on. The new visual gives the first proper sense of Star Chaser Aspal's aesthetic direction as the production builds out its creative team.
For a franchise that has expanded through sequels, films and spinoffs over nearly two decades, each new series is a test of how far the Code Geass universe can stretch beyond Lelouch's story โ and Sunrise is clearly betting there's more road ahead.
