At the A
nime Triad Con in North Carolina, former
Power Ranger turned notable anime voice actor Johnny Young Bosch was a featured guest. During the Q&A portion of his panel, a fan from the audience asked Bosch to comment on the recently announced new season of
Code Geass, a series many fans felt tied up all the loose end by its conclusion.
Commenting on the project, Bosch stated, "When I first heard there was another season i was like '
Mhmmm' - because it was a great ending! Where as Bleach [ED note: Bosch was the English voice actor for Ichigo] was like 'M
mmhm, you can give us a little more than that'."
Jumping back to
Code Geass, Bosch got really frank when commenting that the series was a moneymaker for Sunrise so it was an easy decision for the studio to produce more. "It's just hard to tell really... With a show like Code Geass, it was really popular and made lots of money, and it just ended and it continued to make money after that. [Sunrise] were like 'Hmm, maybe we should bring it back'. That's the nature of it right? It's a risk. I hope it's going to be great! But you never know..."
