The CG wasn't needed.. I don't see why they went with CG when the mech battles were great in the TV series without it.

Just seems like they opted for CG to save money and/or just to be lazy. I'm disappointed as well.

I don't get the hate for CG especially when it is used well in the ovas and just because its CG doesn't mean its lazy. It probably costs a lot of money to make the CG mechas look that impressive. It also makes the mecha battles feel a lot more intense.

It is lazy. CG is cheaper and faster to produce.

All the mech action in the OVA is pretty much what was in the tv series as well, except the mechs didn't look like plastic.

Well I don't have much to say about your opinion. I for one don't see the mechas as plastic looking but see them a lot more detailed and more visually impressive than the mechas in the series.

He looks a lot like Kallen to me, must be the hair. So he's like the love child of Suzaku and Kallen? I've always liked that paring, despite how she hates him and how they both annoy me (but then again, everyone in the tv series annoyed me). Since Suzaku is apparently gonna show up the next episode, is he gonna be like, "Akito, I am your father, it is true."

Its still too early to say if he's gonna be a douche like Lelouch but some of the characters are annoying. Too many morons who thinks its "cool" to be bad, evil, and heartless for no real good reason.

This is why I don't really like movies, not enough time to satisfactorily justify some of the events that's going on. So far its alright but nothing's really happened yet so can't make a clear judgment. At least, the mecha battles were really cool, much more exciting and spectacular than the tv series' scenes. And don't let the fanboys get to anyone, this was bond to get biased hate for being the followup to Lelouch but not Lelouch.

That was surprisingly better than I thought.

I like Akito; it seems like he's under the same Geass command that Suzaku is, only he is a shit ton crazier when it activates.

Can't...get...over how damn skinny they are.

Heh, so Elevens were treated like sub citizens even in the European Union.


Must be the because he already is batshit crazy without it.

I just watched the 50-minute "movie", Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito 1 - Yokuryuu wa Maiorita, it was okay.

I just felt Sunrise was just "milking" the Code Geass franchise, their new series would probably fair far better if it was a TV series rather than 4 x 1-hour long movies for actual "character development" to take place.

Too many of the characters of this new series, try and act way too similar to most of the cast of the original Code Geass series, the preview showing the appearance of C.C. and Suzuka (my most hated character of the original) actually made a breathe a sigh of relief because I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing those 2 again particularly C.C. for obvious reasons.

This new movie seemed to try too hard and convoluted but it was a nice touch to add "drama pictures" in the credits as it showed more in-look of the other characters like Ayano, Ryo, etc and how their lives were before the war started.

The movie was good but it made me cringe often, I was kinda hoping for it to finish faster because nothing really seemed "original" or "refreshing". However, it was well-animated....wait that's all it had going for it. Apart from the plethora of new female characters in the CG universe, which will eventually become an association of the doujin world. :lol:

I'm giving the first movie a 8/10, in my eyes that's an incredibly low score for anything from the Code Geass franchise.

I kind of wish they made this a series rather than 4 movies. It progresses like an anime series (at least this first movie did). There were definitely parts where I thought it could have ending as just an episode but whatever..

I don't think this deserve to have the tag code geass in its name. The major things that lack in this movie are intelligence and character's ideals. There are no strategy, no plan, just pure action. Oh well, there is a plan but it is pretty mediocre. During the first half of the movie, I just felt that I was watching gundam, not code geass, the main character is pretty stereotype, he is imba, he kill shits, that's all. Onto the next part is the ideals, there are no ideals being shown, when we think of code geass, we know that character has strong ambition, and as a fan, I was really looking forward to what the characters have to offer, but there are nothing really.

Even the conversations are weird, they are like divided in two parts, one is pretty much common talk then just suddenly switch to something big. I was like, wtf are they talking. There are no real connection between them. Especially in the last part with the terrorists, laila or whatever, ask them what they want, they say they want some knightmares, then right after that, they want a place to return too, rofl, what the heck, I thought they want to rebel or sth. And they join the main casts so easily, talking about terrorists, shit!

All in all, this is like a dessert to us fan of code geass, something that means to satisfy our addiction, but to be honest, this tastes bad!

Overall I like it, I was enthralled by Akito's sinister aura. I just love characters who are mysterious and seem like they are planning something evil/are evil like him. Though it was sorta hard to understand who was fighting who. Like individual characters it was ok, but I couldn't figure out if it was on the same timeline as the original Code Geass and which group/country was fighting who.
Oh yeah, one more thing, I was trying to figure out about Shin and Akito's geass. I think Shin cast his geass on Akito and it sorta works like Lelouch and Suzaku. Like since we've never seen Akito use the geass, just that his eyes are red rimmed, I think he is like Suzaku, using the geass to become more powerful. Shin's geass, I think is similar to Lelouch's. Well, I assume that Shin used his geass on Akito cause well, they're the only ones who have any indications to be related to geass currently.

It was ok.
The first fight scene was very confussing,I had problems figuring out what was going on half the time.
The character are alright,not too impressive yet.
My biggest problem by far is the music.Most scene barely have any and that makes them kind of boring.
When there is music it isn't very good.

Pretty interesting, though honestly it's been too long since I last watched code geass that I dont remember a lot of things in the code geass world anymore.

Characters' visuals wise, it reminds me a lot of the previous code geass style that I like!

Surprised to see CG in the fight, but it looks pretty nice in a different way (though I still prefer the non-CG)

Hmmm is it possible that more than one character has geass? That Shin dude has it, but it seems to me that Akito possibly has it too...or is he under it? :/

Preview of next episode, I saw Suzaku and C.C.?!

Ya the characters are kind of vapid so far. Akito looks like a robot. Meanwhile, Leila seems like she's strong and wise, but it's inconsistent. Everybody else is forgettable.

Just watched. Mecha fights are high tension heart pumping spectacles as they should be; which is commendable because of the CGI. That said the writing is abysmal characters like the main girls fiance irritate me and leave myself disengaged. I liked the original series because Lelouch is somewhat entertaining to watch.. none of the characters here are that interesting. Also that guy in the convo who was gonna pick up the main character.. why the fuck would he need an ID card stating the main character is from area 11 to know he was from there... wouldn't his facial features give it away? We have no reason to suspect he does not look Asian.. seriously dumb fucking writing man.

Overall I enjoyed this. I found the designs of the mech's to be great and really unique compared to the tv show. I found the show to be a breath of fresh air compared to the original TV series. I found animation to be great and I found the characters and story to be fairly interesting. I appreciate the fact that this story takes place in Europe it feels very different from the original series. One of my biggest issues with the movie is that I felt the pacing of it wasn't so great.

Waiting for that Lelouch cameo. Speaking of Lelouch..Qin has the same Geass as he does huh?

I don't really despise CG that much, but it's weird when they go from 2-D to 3-D animation...it just feels fake.

Okay start. The CGI is not bad if you're watching it on BD.

Now I have to wonder what timeline does this series takes place. It says in the synopsis few years ago that this takes place during R2. So it will be interesting how Suzaku and CC and other original characters will have cameos etc.

Akito is okay. Leila is cool, but wow. Almost every character have similar counterparts in the original Anime.

Can't wait for the next episode!

1) I wanted the characters to be European instead of Japanese, after all what is the point of changing all the settings if you keep most of the characters from elsewhere.

2) The Geass in the movie is not explained at all and was disappointing.

3) Characters design is beautiful.

4) I enjoyed the visuals and the battles, everything else was meh.

5) Characterization is very bad.

5/10

I will check the 2nd movie soon as it seems like it will be better than the first, hopefully.

Everything was fine until the Britannia nation attacked.
Ugh...CG.
Anou got owned.
Cool deaths shown.
That's racist.
Damn. Dat woman in the white dress.
Damn. Dat woman in the red dress with Ioan is fine AF!
Wait...fiancee? Incest? OH YEAH!
Oh...she was adopted. Darn. But Ioan seems like an ass so I hope he doesn't marry her.
Damn. Dat grab sfx. That's the "I claim that." grab.
WTF! Why'd you push her you piece of shit?
I'm happy as hell Ioan has no interest in marrying her.
Akito handled that like a boss!
Why is that woman in the red dress with Ioan? She deserves better.
OMG! Ayano is so fine!
The Black Knights are mentioned. :)
That girl by the fire that turned around is fine.
Left that dude in the car. LMAO
Dat ass!
In the knightmare nuts.
Ayano oppai.
Was that baby Akito?
Holy crap! He has Geass. I knew it once he extended his hand.
So Shin is Akito's brother.
DAMN! DAT OLIVIA ASS IN THE END CREDITS!
Hold up! Is that C.C. in the white robe in the End credits? I see green hair.
Sophie got a body.

It was okay. I dislike seeing the knightmares in CG. Looks weird AF and that forest battle was terrible.

Wow, this was an amazing movie. Glad I picked up the Akito series. The drama is on point and the animation and music is just excellent. The animation amps up the mecha fights and the music is just world class. Plus, the art of European 'cities makes it look like Academy City from Railgun. They really have worked to make the movies work.

I think Akito is Geassed, cause of his orange eyes. And that guy at the end also had Lelouch's Geass too. Maybe he has the command geass, or judging by the flashback, a die geass command.

Akito looks hot. Also that preview of Suzaku and CC at the end.


Even without Lelouch, Akito the Exiled fits in with the dark themes of Code Geass. This is so cool.
BTW, that ED was good. And take a look at where Ayano is keeping her sword in the ED.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.
