Re: Code Geass Complete Series 720p Torrent

I am wanting to buy season 1 and 2 of code geass on DVD because its a great show and I have never bought anime before so I was definitely not expecting to find like a million dvd's for this 1 show that had 50 episodes total. I am going through ebay and amazon and am finding a combination of volumes and complete series however it seems that even some of them that have the complete series are different. Some of them have the marking (2011) and some have the marking (Anime Legends) and they have different cover art although they all say the complete first season 3-6 discs episodes 1-26. Is there any real difference when it comes to two dvds that say they are the entire first season with both English and Japanese or is the cover art the only difference?
To my knowledge there shouldn't be too much difference. Japanese originating DVDs will have less-episode per disk but this apparently means the video footage wont be as compressed (though have never had a compassion to confirm this)
When looking on eBay you should be careful of bootlegs where the seller just gets downloaded episodes, burns them to disk, whips up a quick DVD Menu and cover and tries and sells it as legit. This post in Madman's Entainment Knowledge Base can help you sort out the bootlegs from the real ones
There has been a recent increase in these DVD sets being spotted and these are most certainly not real products but rather an illegal bootleg copy, usually imported from South East Asian countries and contain extremely bad subtitles and are of low quality. Easy signs to tell if they are real or not include:
Should you come across any of these products do not purchase them and if you feel this isn't right report it to the authorities or to [email protected], please include the store's name and if possible get details of the distributor, the closer we get to the source of the problem, the eaiser it is for us to stop the flow. The Pirate Anime FAQ site also has a lot more useful information regarding these illegal bootleg DVDs as well as other knock off anime merchandise and how you can avoid them. Alternatively you can also report it to the newly setup Anti-piracy task force. Remember the more reports that are reported the more likely something will be done about this problem. Piracy hurts the industry and you can help by spreading the word and reporting these illegitimate practices.
Tokyo-based anime production firm Sunrise has been contributing to anime in a major way since 1972. The notable works they have produced include the various Mobile Suit Gundam and The Ultraman. Sunrise is responsible for bringing fans the 2006 anime series Code Geass, and plans to celebrate the franchises' 10th anniversary with the recently announced "Kiseki no Anniversary", which also includes several new Code Geass projects currently in development, as well as a new series and a film trilogy.
It's an early holiday gift for anime fans, as the announcement brings about a third Code Geass series, titled Code Geass: Fakkatsu no Lelouch (translated: Code Geass: Lelouch of the Ressurrection). There hasn't been new Code Geass since the series ended in 2008. While it is known that the new series will have a time jump of several years after the events of the last series (Zero Requiem), there are few details beyond that.
Adding to the excitement is the announcement that there will also be a trilogy of films recapping the entire series next year. The films are set to compile a comprehensive overview of the 25 episodes from the original series, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and the 25-episode sequel series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2. The original voice cast is even looking to return to the franchise to re-record their roles. The film trilogy series is a great way for new fans to get caught up on the series without investing the time into 50 episodes.
Code Geass found a home on Adult Swim in the United States for a time, but can be more difficult to come by today. The complete series will be getting a DVD and Blu-ray release by Funimation next April, so you can delve into the entire show if you want. The Funimation release will also include the five-part spinoff series, Code Geass: Akito the Exiled, which is set between the events of season 1 and season 2.
If you want to watch the anniversary event, you can watch it on Bandai's Anime Channel beginning December 23 at noon. The franchise has also found its way into the pages of manga, novels and in games. You may or may not have heard of Code Geass, but its sure to make a comeback now in a major way with these new productions under development.
