Takahiro Kimura, also known as the Character designer of Code Geass, just passed away.

He died from amyloidosis. His wife (and colorist of his most well known artwork) wants people to learn more about this disease so that it can be noticed and treated more efficiently.

He was the Character designer of various well known anime, and amongst them, of Code Geass, with Clamp, they designed most of the characters and he redesigned them with his signature style, adding some well known features (Like Lelouch's longs finger and hand work)

This man is one of the main reasons I fell in love with this show in 2006, his artworks and his designs gave Code Geass an unique flavor and his design of Lelouch is unmatched.

Rest in peace, Takahiro Kimura sensei, thanks for all of the artwork, the designs, the episodes and the memories. You will be remembered. Adding two of my favorite work of his for Code Geass, Lelouch of the Rebellion, and Akito the exiled.

Memories of Geass 2 : The Mystery of the missing Kallen Gum Line " If you say "I Love you" I will never forgive you"

This Geass information is about a scene which had to be changed after being fully planned, so planned that there were actual leak of promotional material mentionning this very scene and others (which happened in the show !)

The Gumlines were the source of endless speculations, fears and hope till the end, because it was official stuff for once, not some unsure spoilers, or theories. It's the Gum Line drama !

Back in 2008, we are like less than 2 months away from the Code Geass Finale, everyone is into debates, speculations and theories when a leak of a merchandising pictures of future Geass stuff come out, including some characters card which will come out as a bonus when you buy chewing gum (Hence the Gum Line name); Till then, nothing important, just basic merchandising.

BUT on Each of those character card is printed a line, those lines are supposed to be each of the character's most important lines in the final part of the anime; Of course those are HUGE spoiler, but this merchanding isn't supposed to come out before the ending of the show, it's a Leak, and A BIG ONE at that. (Oh how we were glad lmao, innocent fools, really)

In less than a day, all of the lines had been translated, and theories and fight were newly starting over those till the end of the anime (gum lines really were the driving force of 6 last episode of geass when it comes into theories, they were taken very seriously, as they should since ALL OF THEM WERE EVENTUALLY SAID, faithful to the translation; All of them but…One.)

Here are the Gum lines and the episode they were said to : Anya : "people's memories are vague" :Here, in Turn 16

Nunnally : "I will put an end to Oniisama's sins" Here in Turn 23

C.C. : "Hurry up and Go, then come back, you said you'd make me smile" : Here in Turn 24

Kallen : "If you say "I love you" I'll never forgive you "** Never said.

**For Kallen's line, since there are no pronoums in japanese, it's more like "If (someone) say (someone) love (someone), (someone) will never forgive (someone) To Be clear you understand the subject when you have the context, but given the gumline were all about each character's most important thing (Anya and her memories, Nunnaly and her brothe, C.C. and her smile) everyone knew it had to be about Lelouch's feelings for her but….Kallen's line was never said while all of the gum line appeared.

Everyone waited till Turn 25 and when it was clear the gumline had been cut it was pretty clear either some Kallen scene had been cut or else, her face off with Lelouch in Turn 22 had been changed (for her to say her gumline, they'd have to have a talk, but Lelouch kept his mouth shut in the version we got.)

It's also important to notice the "I love you" is Aishiteru, once again it's a very intense word, it's a love for which we barely have any equivalent in english, so for Kallen to use that word, she had to be pretty confident. (Another flame war happened in 2ch because of that, cause you don't use Aishiteru easily, in japan, Love is mostly shown through actions rather than words, it's really rare so to use it, for a girl like Kallen, it was either she knew something or she was full delusional (quite OOC of her to be this confident about feelings when that's exactly because she isn't that Lelouch managed to push her away.)

And that's when things got even funnier;

Her gumline reappeared, in a modified version in her poem; It was exactly the same base but it went from "If you say I love you'll never forgive you" to "If you had said I love you i'd even follow you to hell, you knew that didn't you"

We went from something in a current conversation to something she said in the past sense, because he was dead.

To this day it's still the biggest mystery because all of the other gumline were in the show, and because they finally used a different version of this line in her poem, they really wanted us to know she thought he was going to say "Aishiteru" didn't they ?

(The chewing gum and the cards finally came out after the show. But the lines one the card were gone, replaced by character's name.)

Once again I'm pretty sure they intended to make things clear between Lelouch and Kallen but had to backtrack because of the popularity of LuluC, and Taniguchi was known to react very strongly at leaks (he almost chose to redo the beginning of the first episode of R2 because of a leak) so some also suggested it was him being pissed and removing it (I'm more on the ambiguous side, ambiguous end means more sales, that's Sunrise)

In the end they robbed Kallen of her most important line. (And because they are schizophrenic anyway, they kept releasing positive side stuff for Kallen and Lelouch. But since it wasn't within the show, it could be easily missed. (Even though honestly the show was already pretty telling). Alas, marketing always prevail.

Now, it's always funny to think about what Lelouch might have replied to that since we know it was planned; As a friend named Tokkan said, a line like "I don't want forgiveness" would have been very Lelouch like, wouldn't it have been ?

(Instead we got that. Mouth shut and sort of bitten lips shot lol)

It was so important during the airing days that I wanted to share this story, for all those Kallen fans who think her pairing wasn't popular (it was one of the two biggest pairing in the show, (Three if we count Suzalulu) her fandom moved on because their story was over, they had their conclusion and Lelouch was dead, that's it, they were never unpopular) and who missed so many of stuff about her and Lelouch. Cheers !

Sakurai x Taniguchi x Fu-kuyama Interview // NewType November 2008

--Congratulations on the completion of "Code Geass". When did the thought "It's ended" first occur to you, Director Taniguchi?

Taniguchi: That's a difficult question. Visually, that would be after the V-edit (Video Editing) ended, because after that you can no longer do anything about it. However, in terms of the end [of Code Geass] as a project, I really don't know.

--How did the final recording session go?

Taniguchi: It was difficult for me to control myself, psychologically. Since it was the final recording session, I kept thinking "This is the end", but in terms of the actual work, I had to hold on for a little while longer.

Fu-kuyama: I was thinking "Let's record our lines in high spirits!", but that only lasted until episode 24. The final recording session was...... This might be the first out of all my works so far in which I completed the final episode without putting too much effort into it. I took it all calmly.

Sakurai: I was in a spiritual state of nothingness. More than two years have passed between the recording of the first episode and the final episode. To be involved in a project for so long is something of a rarity these days, and because of that I was also overwhelmed with feelings. Still, "Code Geass", true to its nature, ended in a cool way.

Fu-kuyama: I think the VA with the most mixed feelings when it comes to the last episode of Code Geass might very well be Hoshi Souichirou, Gino's VA. To tell you the truth, I received a phone call on the night before the recording for the final episode. I wondered who it was... and it turned out to be Hoshi-san.

Sakurai: He called me, too.

Fu-kuyama: When I answered the call, all he said was "Tomorrow's the final episode, isn't it... do your best*." (laugh) [*ganbattene]

Sakurai: He said "Do your best" to me, too. I guess he was especially attached to this show.

Taniguchi: (laugh) It's up to everyone how they want to interpret the ending, I don't mind, but for me, it was a Happy Ending.

Fu-kuyama: I, too, think it was a happier ending than expected.

Sakurai: As for me... I'm looking at things from the viewpoint of Suzaku's VA, of course, but I've been watching the show as just another audience, too. That might be why the ending was painful for me.

--Was the final episode something you thought of from the very beginning?

Taniguchi: Yes. The ending was decided upon beforehand. Although it was eventually cut, I actually had [Okouchi] write a script for episode 1, one which began with the scene of Suzaku attempting to kill Lelouch. I'm talking about episode 1 of the previous series, not R2.

--The relationship between Lelouch and Suzaku described in these 50 episodes has seen a lot of ups and downs. They've shot at each other with guns, tried to kill each other, stepped on the other's face after he humbled himself by getting on his knees......

Taniguchi: From my point of view, Lelouch and Suzaku's relationship in the previous series did not go beyond that of reunited childhood friends. It wasn't "friendship" -- they were playing at a "make-believe friendship". With R2, my intention was to show how it turned into "friendship" in the truest sense of the word. ......As for the part with the kneeling, if Lelouch hadn't done that, he might have been killed by Suzaku, and Suzaku, had he not stepped on Lelouch's face, would probably not have been able to control his rage.

--Basically, it was necessary to go that far* for Lelouch and Suzaku to be able to rebuild their bonds. [*kneeling + stepping on face]

Taniguchi: It's a matter of definition, but for me, the relationship between "good friends", to put it bluntly, is one in which "they are able to change each other's soiled underwear even when they've become doddering geezers".*

Fu-kuyama: Though in my opinion, that's already crossed the line into "love" territory (laugh).

[*This line sparked an outbreak of "Eeewwww, Taniguchi", "Taniguchi's definition of friendship sets the bar too high" and "...Does Taniguchi actually have such friends?" on 2ch]

--Once again: what kind of show was "Code Geass" to all of you?

Sakurai: "Code Geass" was a stimulating piece of work, in my opinion. It suddenly appeared and swiftly took society by storm before facing its end in style. I look forward to everyone's reactions after the final episode. I'm sure all of us would like to see more of this type of original anime.

Taniguchi: I would be delighted if the viewers accepted [this show] with that thought in mind. When we first started "Code Geass", there was this sense of danger that if we don't do our best now original anime will die out completely. The way things are, there will eventually only be anime adapted from manga, games and light novels. For the sake of creating an entertaining original anime, we concentrated what skills we had and tried tacking them on little by little during the creation process. Of course, in "R2" we had to continue being aggressive. I continued working on this show feeling like a challenger. It was an enlightening experience!

Sakurai: These days, there are a lot of anime with tactical gimmicks, but "Code Geass" was strategically elaborate and daring, and was very much entertaining in a way other anime weren't. We, as members of the cast, were happy to have been part of its creation.

Fu-kuyama: They kept an iron-fisted control over the information given to us, too. We never knew what was going to happen next, not until we received the script.

Taniguchi: Once the episode directors, the animators and the VAs find out what's going to happen ahead of time, they tend to give their performances working backwards from the end result. There are times when working backwards actually makes it better, but if there is a continuous chain of turning points in the story, there are times when you subconsciously save your strength. I was afraid that would happen.

Fu-kuyama: I didn't want to know what was going to happen next. Finding out beforehand means I'll have to set the bar higher for myself, you see (laugh).

--Lelouch was a devil of a role to play, having to face some kind of trial every single time, huh.

Fu-kuyama: Lelouch's role is, to put it simply, the chief villain, and Suzaku is the hero. Watching Lelouch use his Geass and prepare the legwork of his strategies with all his heart and soul makes you feel like pitying him.

Taniguchi: Really, I had no idea creating an evil organization of the likes of "Shocker" [*from Kamen Rider] could be so much work (laugh). It's a lot of effort, truly. Here you are, desperately planning some kind of gambit, and "BAM!", the hero appears and everything goes to pieces.

Fu-kuyama: "Code Geass" is a story seen from the side of an evil organization, isn't it? If you were to see the world through a different point of view, a different kind of logic would come into focus. For example, if you were to consider Marianne and Emperor Charles's actions from their point of view, nobody would be able to say they were wrong.

Taniguchi: If you were to rewatch "Code Geass" with the camera on Suzaku's side, Lelouch would be an absolute evil (laugh).

Sakurai: Who's on the side of justice? Who's evil? It all depends on your position and point of view. Telling the story in this manner was very interesting.

Fu-kuyama: I realized that the viewers don't work according to the logic of "justice" and "evil" when choosing which characters to empathize with.

--Lastly, I'd like to ask each of you which episode left the biggest impression.

Fu-kuyama: It has to be episode 9 of "R2" for me. The conversation when Lelouch snatched Tenshi-sama away from Xingke -- in response to "You devil--!!", Lelouch answers "Ho, is that so?". I thought it was a fantastic exchange.

Sakurai: As for me, it's the final episode of "R2". It lingers on in your heart. The characters' resolve came through loud and clear, and it really got to me.

Taniguchi: All the episodes are important to me, so I can't choose one. If I had to say something... at the end of the recording session of the final episode, the staff, on their own initiative, gave out flowers to all of the cast members. I was happy to see that "Code Geass" has its own special place in the hearts of the staff and cast who have been involved [in the project] for so long. Thank you all for the hard work!

All: Thank you for the hard work!!

Can't stop thinking about this. The image looks so strange. They look like they're eating in silence in the darkest, dingiest, most depressing diner they could find. All of them look mildly upset, staring at their food as if they're too stunned to stomach up an appetite; it's like they just witnessed a car crash on the drive there, and nobody wants to talk about it.
