Hoping for the BDs in good box art and such. Though didnt JPN rerelease it recently?

Actually the season 1 BD box set is not due out in Japan until September 25th. Here's the listing on Amazon JP for the box set.

I was hoping FUNimation would confirm Blu-ray rights at their panel. I sure hope they got them and will let us know before too long.

I never completed getting season 2 from Bandai so a confirmation of Bluray rights for both season will get me to preorder it day one.

Not sure if I enjoyed this series enough to double dip on it, assuming they get BD rights. I'll have to think about this one.

I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't get BD rights for Code Geass, but it really would be nice to know for sure.

Yeah, I'm not too worried. I just wish they could've let us know what else would get the BD upgrade like they did with Bebop.

Very happy to see Code Geass (trailer one & two) return. Not only is it another veteran of Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, but I really just enjoy shows with intelligent protagonists. Giant robots, world conquest, school life . . . what's not to like? And that's before you even get to the mind control, alternate history, and cosplay antics

Another non-suprise here. I expect both seasons to be released on Blu-ray as well. If both seasons are really released on Blu-ray, I will most likely double dip.

Well it was released on BD in the UK, and already out on BD in Japan for a long time (the BD set is actually a re-release in a box set format). Therefore, the logic would be that they also have the BD rights. But an official confirmation would also be nice.

I've held off on this series and Gundam 00 ever since finding out the Japanese released BD volumes. I pray that this gets a BD here as well.

I'm sure it will, the question is when.

I don't have Season 1 (only got S2 because it was a gift), but I only care if they are released on BD.

Did season two make sense by itself? A lot happens in season one, and starting with the second season must have been a little rough, even with the "reboot".
