It seems that it isn’t wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon as the fantasy comedy anime is set to return this February as a movie, Arrow of the Orion. Unlike the previous seasons, the film will be a completely original story based on the characters of Fujino Ōmori’s novels. On top of that, Ōmori will be in charge of the story.

While we don’t know much about the original movie, the trailer does provide some hints. It seems that Bell and the rest of the Hestia Familia will venture beyond the dungeon and get themselves into quite some trouble.

Katsushi Sakurabi (Flying Witch, Heaven's Memo Pad) will direct the original movie instead of the TV anime’s director Yoshiki Yamakawa. While Ōmori, as we mentioned, will write the screenplay instead of the TV anime’s writers.

After more than ten years, fans will finally see a sequel to Sunrise’s original anime, Code Geass. The film takes place two years after the events of Rebellion R2, where Zero stabs the tyrant Lelouch. While this brought peace to the world, it's short-lived. Luckily, there are a few that will do anything to bring things back to normal.

Studio Sunrise will return to animate the movie, and several voice actors will reprise their roles. On top of that, the film will have several new characters joining the story. The anime’s director, Goro Taniguchi (GUNxSWORD, Planetes) confirmed that fans could expect Lelouch’s story to come to an end, and as such become the finale for the series.Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection will hit Japanese theaters this February.

The series follows G-Wrench, who’s the leader of the Boltechs. But, things take an unexpected turn when a mysterious girl crosses their path.

Taking the helm is Daisuke Nakajima (Kino's Journey - The Beautiful World, Sket Dance ) at Bandai Namco Pictures (Gintama) with Sunrise in charge of the CG animation, and XFLAG for the original work and production.
