Anime: Code Geass New Anime Info & Live Action Stage Play!

   Even though Cable beat me to the new Anime movie, Akito the Exiled, there has been more than just a new anime movie announced. After a good chunk of time hearing nothing about Code Geass (Other then the most recent manga, Shikkoku no Renya) in the recent months, suddenly 2012 blows us away with not only the new anime movie but also another anime being produced as well as an on stage live action musical.
Best of friends, Worst of enemies.
   Titled Code Geass: Majin ni Sasageru Prelude (something along the lines of "Prelude to Sorcerer's Dedication or something. Honestly, I only know the word "Majin" from old Dragon Ball translations.) It will be on-stage in Tokyo late June and feature an all male cast. The all-male cast reminds me of the all female Utena musical cast, even though the idea of a man dressed like C.C. will make me question many things about myself..
   Majin ni Sasageru Prelude isn't the only stage adaption Code Geass is getting! Along with the musical, a stage play that takes place sometime after episode 9 of the original anime. Unlike the musical, it will feature a different cast as well as on stage mecha battles performed on stage. This will be playing on stage in Tokyo from April 7th to the 16th.
   Finally, the new anime production titled "Nannally in Wonderland." In this story, Lelouch uses his Geass power to put Nannally into a dreamlike state to visit her favorite book, Alice in Wonderland. Judging by the art released with this announcement, it's safe to say that Lelouch will be playing the part of the Mad-Hatter.
   I would like to take a couple shots in the dark with some of the following roles, and let's see how close  I get.

March Hare - Rolo
Queen of Hearts - Kallen
Cheshire Cat - C.C. 
Catepiller - Jeremiah Gottwald
Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum - Ohgi & Tamaki
The White Rabbit - Suzaku


Let's see how close I get when "Nannally in Wonderland" is released on BluRay & DVD.
