ANN reports that the January issue of Animedia contained a quote from the production staff of Code Geass at Sunrise Studios:
"All of you have shown us much appreciation and made the DVDs as well as the CDs so popular. Really, we have been blessed with fervent fans…. Thank you very much. Like we have said before, [a major character development happened] but Geass cannot die. It just ended, but we think it would be nice if we can still do something more. In any case, when we can announce something, in the not-so-distant future…"
Whether an actual sequel, prequel, or simply a spinoff is unknown but definitely Sunrise is not going to stop milking the cash cow.
What better way to spend the holiday season than to see what's new airing this season in Japan? A bit late we know, but this has been sitting on our desktops for months.
Enjoy.
Announced last month, Broccoli emailed their fans last week in regards to their closing. There was much speculation on the survivability of anime in the United States with its decline partially due to fansubs and scanlators, and within the last few months many companies and corporations were hit even harder with the economic down turn and Broccoli turned out to be one of them.
Broccoli has just finished running several giveaways as well as selling off a large portion of their remaining items from their office and warehouse.They are currently still trying to keep some titles licensed in the US by discussing it with other publishers.
The people at Broccoli USA are wonderful people and we've enjoyed working with them in the past. This is saddening news and we wish them the best of luck in their future endevowers.

I was surprised to find a giant stuffed Domo-kun dangling from the ceiling entrance of my local Target store.
Apparently Target is using Domo-kun as their character theme for its Halloween promotion carrying such products such as candied Domo-kun, toys, chocolates, and more.
Domo-kun is the mascot for the television station NHK in Japan.
Pictures and promo video inside.
