Funimation Releasing Code Geass Movie Trilogy

but will not be dubbed sadly.
Resurrection releases early next month so blu-ray won't be out until August so I guess I have plenty of time to watch this recap trilogy. Only point of contention is whether they've changed anything to lead the trilogy into the new movie, and different people are saying different things.

What is with this trend of releasing movies as recaps followed by a sequel movie? And this one is 13 years after the series aired. Do they just wanna upgrade animation and production quality to modern standards? Madoka magica recap movies were pretty much identical to the series so it can't be that. Do they make more money? Or protect their product from piracy? It has to be that.

More money and yes also to bring people up to speed when there's a sequel movie. Haikyuu, Kuroko's Basketball, Kabaneri, Attack on Titan, Chuunibyou, Kyoukai no Kanata, and a ton of other anime also have recap movies.

Hey don't ask me. There's a reason why top studios like IG or KyoAni do it on a consistent basis. Plus anime usually relies on a niche audience so they usually go out of their way to watch something they like, that's how they've been making money.
Plus Code Geass is actually extremely popular there, it still manages to break into top 10 DVD/Blu-ray sales now and then so makes sense for them to release it.

I am pretty sure from what I have gathered that the movies alter the story line just enough to justify the new movie and what happens. Which I hope the new movie at least gets dubbed.

At the very least the new movie will be dubbed. Usually Funimation dubs movies they plan on releasing in theatres. Most recent example being Broly.
BurnsyCEO said:
That's another reason as well and they usually have extra scenes thrown in.

only big titles, like DBZ, see the big screen and still get very limited release.

From what I know GKids dubbed and released Mirai and Fireworks. Funimation has obviously more clout so I'm sure they'll release Code Geass. I mean it's not as popular as DB but it's still something. It'll obviously be a limited release but I think they'll do it. Maybe a few months after Feb.
