Anime Expo 2016: Code Geass Getting Blu-Ray Release

Written By Samantha Ferreira July 2, 2016

Now, for the burning question: will this release be brought to you by Pizza Hut?

Earlier today, Sunrise revealed that Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion will get a Blu-Ray release. The publisher did not specify a release period, opting only to state that a release was “coming soon.”

The news was revealed at the company’s industry panel at Anime Expo.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is an original series from Sunrise and manga supergroup CLAMP. The show originally began airing in the fall 2006 broadcast season, and spanned 26 episodes. Several spinoffs and OVAs, as well as sequel series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 have been produced since the show’s run.

Goro Taniguchi (Gun x Sword, Planetes) directed the series, while Takahiro Kimura (Dirty Pair Flash, SD Gundam Force) provided character designs. The team of Ichiro Okouchi (Azumanga Daioh, Guilty Crown) and Hiroyuki Yoshino (Accel World, Macross Frontier) took charge of series composition, with Yoshino serving as assistant to Okouchi.

Bandai Entertainment originally released Code Geass in North America. Funimation Entertainment acquired the series in 2013.
