Description

I don't see why you people want an R3. What i find more reasonable will be an ova to explains some things like C2's name, etc. Not another season, there's no point world peace was fucking obtained, the ultimate goal was reached. I don't want to hear that some dude fucked it up forcing R3 to come, i swear if that happens.

—Congratulations on the completion of Code Geass!! It was a shocking final episode; did you have a difficult time writing it, Mr. Okouchi?

Okouchi No. The last episode wasnt difficult at all; in fact, it was the middle parts of R2 that turned out to be rough going. For the final episode, [I'd/we'd] already decided on the ending when writing the script for the first episode of the previous series. Episode 1, Episode 25 (Episode 1 and the final episode of the previous series) and episode 25 of R2 — these episodes did not deviate much from our original plans.

—Some unresolved mysteries still remain.

Okouchi From the very beginning, [I/we] never planned on explaining everything. In fact, if you ask me, I think we might have overdone the explanations. While its undeniable that Lelouchs story has ended with a full stop, the other characters stories are still on-going, and its not like the world [of Code Geass] itself has come to an end either. [I/we] didnt want to end it by closing it up for good.

—Still, isnt it possible that defeating the wise ruler Schneizel, the person who was supposed to have brought order to the world, might lead to some [viewers] interpreting it as a Bad End?

Okouchi Thats true. There are probably a lot of people who think of it as a Bad End, a tragedy, considering the protagonists, Lelouchs end as well. However, Lelouch says in the first episode Only those prepared to be shot are allowed to pull the trigger themselves. If you were to think of that as his pride, then I think his getting shot (killed) in the end was a logical end. Of course, I understand that not all of the viewers will accept this ending. There were people who wanted a happier ending, after all.

—Was there a dispute among the staff members regarding the ending?

Okouchi No. It was decided fairly naturally. During the Code Geass script meetings, there are many cases in which there were a number of disputes, but there were barely any when it came to the scripts for (the previous seriess) episode 25 and the final episode. I think everyone felt the same when it came to the end of the character that is Lelouch.

—Why were you so bold as to choose this ending when the viewers might see it as a Bad End?

Okouchi Bold yes, we were so bold as to chose this ending. Perhaps the show that is Code Geass ending up this way was decided the moment Director Taniguchi and I teamed up. I suppose you can call it our sense of aesthetics, or perhaps a part of our psychological makeup.
