Code Geass has a new TV anime with a name and a year. The franchise's official YouTube channel posted the first teaser for Code Geass Star Chaser Aspal (*Code Geass: Hoshi Oi no Aspal*) on September 25, confirming a 2027 premiere as part of the series' 20th-anniversary push, per Anime News Network.
Quick answer
Code Geass Star Chaser Aspal is a new Sunrise anime premiering in 2027, directed by Kazuya Nomura (*Moriarty the Patriot*, Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie) with series scripts by Mado Nozaki (*KADO: The Right Answer*). No exact date, episode count or streaming partner has been announced yet. It's the next entry after 2024's Rozé of the Recapture. According to SenpaiRanks, the original Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion holds an adjusted 8.68 and R2 an 8.89 — the franchise's high-water marks.
The teaser
It's a short mood piece — logo, mecha silhouettes, no plot spelled out. The title's "Star Chaser" and a credited designer for something called the Agarmatha are the only hard hints at what's coming.
Behind the camera
- Director: Kazuya Nomura (*Robotics;Notes*, Sengoku Basara S2)
- Series scripts: Mado Nozaki, author of the Hello World novel
- Character design: Rolua, illustrator of the Yūsha Party kara Tsuihō Saretakedo light novels
- Agarmatha design: Yoshi.
- Backgrounds & effects: Junbun Lin (*GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-* film design)
- Title logo: Ichinogi
Nozaki is the interesting pick. His scripts tend to go big on high-concept twists, which fits a franchise whose identity is built on Lelouch's chess-game reversals.
The anniversary slate
Aspal isn't the only thing on the 20th-anniversary calendar. A Gundam Wing x Code Geass crossover manga, Minuet Zero, launched on KadoComi in July; a new stage play runs in Osaka and Tokyo in January–February 2027; and an anniversary exhibition opened in Tokyo this month before moving to Osaka in November.
Where to watch Code Geass before 2027
