Code Geass Star Chaser Aspal is officially scheduled for a release sometime in 2027, but a more concrete release date or potential international streaming plans have yet to be announced as of this time. It’s set to have some preview screenings in Japan beginning next January, so there is a solid chance it’s going to hit much sooner within 2027 than fans might expect it to. As for what to expect from this next entry, it’s going to be a full TV series unlike some of the other Code Geass miniseries or feature film projects that have been released over the years.

Code Geass Star Chaser Aspal will be directed by Kazuya Nomura for Bandai Namco Filmworks and Sunrise with Mado Nozaki writing the scripts, Rolua handling the character designs, Yoshi. designing the Agarmatha (the mechs seen in the series), Junbun Lin overseeing the special effects, Ichinogi designing the new animeโ€™s logo, Kengo Shigemura serving as editor, and Taro Iwashiro composing the music for it. It’s also been revealed the main duo for the cast are Ivan Shibata as Aspal and Hibiku Yamamura as Zoe, but more will be revealed at a later date.

What’s Next for Code Geass?

Code Geass has been working through a special anniversary celebration for the past few years that has resulted in all sorts of new projects, but this is the first full TV anime series released in quite some time. It’s set in a distant future where Emperor Fokasu has been lording over the Roman Empire, and has been in the midst of a long string of wars. Aspal is a young slave meets the detached head a young woman, and the two of them spark a whole new journey that they embark on together.

Code Geass has long since left Lelouch behind following the first iteration of the series, and has instead been all about the titular power as later generations of its users end up using it for their own means. This is likely going to be the case for Code Geass Star Chaser Aspal, so what are you hoping to see in this new series? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments!
