| Surprisingly, out of all 5 movies I liked this one the most. I found the rest pretty meh..and the plot is really simple compared to the original code geass. However, this finale kind of had the Code Geass feeling that the previous 4 movies didn't have. |
 Doesn't this make you hungry? |
| The entire series have the worst battle BGM I ever heard. Listening to some jazz while blood spreading and people dying is just ridiculous. Compared to great visuals it's ridiculous even more. And on top of that, it seems to be that this BGM is the same almost for all of the battles... Also loled hard when that girl called hersef collective consciousness. Out of a million ways to represent itself it has chosen a...hot chick. Yeah. Sure. 5/10 summary for all of OVAs and it is only for a decent visuals. |
| Seems like people don't really like this OVA, but i think it was quite good and watching it was worth my time, maybe it is because i wasn't so much of a fan of code geass. The ending is pretty nice and i was surprised that there was a kiss at the end. And not being a fan i'm kinda interested if this story is non-canon? If it is, then there's no reason asking anything, but if it's a continuation after some time skip can anyone, who knows information from original source (of course if there is one) answer: 1) What was the point of Lelouch and Suzaku in the story, especially with the ending? 2) Don't question the identity of the girl controlling all of this, and the skull (i assumed it was one thing with different perceptions) just interested if CC is related to her and if yes why CC has physical body. And again i think those Q are relevant only if this story is canon. |

allenjke said: 1) What was the point of Lelouch and Suzaku in the story, especially with the ending? The ending was just setting up a chronological connection to the start of R2, by having Rolo pick up Lelouch and Suzaku. The Emperor will brainwash Lelouch once again, sending him back to school as a student with a fake brother, and the familiar story will continue in the same manner. According to the director of Akito the Exiled, Kazuki Akane, the main conceptual or thematic point of their presence was to show his own interpretation of Suzaku's complicated feelings towards Lelouch (Suzaku hates Lelouch for what he has done, but at the same time, he can't truly bring himself to kill him). That's what he wanted to portray through their interactions. Narratively speaking, they weren't too important. Why? Because this new story was different from the TV show and isn't focused on their lives. Lelouch and Suzaku weren't there to steal the spotlight from the rest of the characters. In practice, they were guest appearances and symbols of the world that exists outside of Europe (the Britannian homeland, Japan and so on). 2) Don't question the identity of the girl controlling all of this, and the skull (i assumed it was one thing with different perceptions) just interested if CC is related to her and if yes why CC has physical body. About Lelouch and Suzaku, i assumed that the story happened with some time skip after R2, because didn't recognize any of royal family members. So i was confused about the ending and it's just my mistake. Oh and now i remembered that it was his fake brother, seems like i'm getting older. It was quite a long time and i forgot about V.V. , pretty sure some kind of information about her was mentioned. And thanks for the info! =/ |

| Wow what the fuck did I just watch The 4th episode got me all hype as fuck, and the assault on the castle was still hype as fuck, but the resolution to the main conflict was... less than satisfying... and they went way overboard on the supernatural elements considering how little of them there had been so far, at least in relative terms. A disappointing finale to an otherwise excellent series. |
| now it connect where code geass 2 years is going on. at least there is romance with happy ending for MC in here. The original is not. IDK |
| "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, EVER cut a deal with a dragon." |
| really..i wait for 5 years, watching this to see the end,after marathon it, it still wouldn't give the pleasure to know this, idk why.. |
| "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, EVER cut a deal with a dragon." |
| I guess I'll need R2 reboot with better script & less what an idiot moments.. |
| Lelouch T___T .... biggest hypes of these movies were seeing Lelouch.. but Lelouch was quite broken in these movie T_T ... As for Akito parts... meh.. was more of a "Code Mecha" .. felt as it was fanservice anime for mecha battles than "bonus for Code Geass" ... When around the end the whole Akito vs brother Geass shitstorm started.. it kinda felt really random and forced. They pretty much just mashed all random emotions all over the place since the "geass shitstorm" started.. On a side note when "shitstorm" started, music reaally reminded me of Bleach. Was okaish to watch, gave 6/10. And Leila X Akito was also cute. but still Lelouch ;( |
 |
| Leila best girl for life! For what it was, the OVA series was great. Ending felt kinda rushed, but I'm all for happy endings. I would've liked to see a more fleshed-out epilogue with the rest of the crew. |
| Sigh... they really wasted this series. Instead of making 5, 1 hour films they really should have just made an entire anime season instead. This was such a waste of time. |
 |
| Well, that was corny.. |
| I'm a simple man. I see kiss, I rate 8 instead of 7 :P |
| What the hell was that? Not only was it mostly boring, also that whole spacetime universe-creating stuff made no sense at all. What a horrbiel aneding for an alright series. |
| As I watched all the movies over the course of two days I have to say they are mediocre at best, the movies got worse with each one I watched with the last one being the worst of them all... As someone who really liked the first/second season of Geass I wont accept these movies as cannon :/ Overall, the movies gets a 6/10 from me and thats being nice. The biggest issue for me is that there was no excitement in the movies, because it was clear from the start that no-one would die, ever, unless they are one of the "bad" guys... |

| [quote=jgomezg message=45809796] xardansu said: 2.) Why did Akito not die when his brother ordered him to when he was a child? 3.) Why did it instead give him those crazy-ass powers? At that point in time, Akito was too young to understand the command. Like young Shin said during the flashback, Akito was still too innocent. Children rarely have a clear concept of death (much less suicide) at that age. But the command never left his brain. It seems that, over time, Akito's mind adapted to the "Die!" command. Similar to when Suzaku learned how to use the "Live!" Geass. It wasn't broken, but simply became a trigger for a berserk state. Rather than killing himself, Akito uses it to kill others instead. In other words, he re-directed it. But that's not how Geass works. Even assuming that, as a kid, he didn't understand what dying was, when he was older he clearly did understand the concept. Therefore, the command 'die' should have kicked in and made him kill himself. The Suzaku comparrison doesn't make sense. Suzaku was ordered to 'live', so whenever his life is threatened (by himself or by another), he does whatever necessary to ensure he lives. The way he uses this is by throwing himself into dangerous situations, forcing himself to take extreme measures that his human nature would otherwise hold him back from. |
jgomezg said: Actually, the original TV show clearly established that Geass cannot make you follow any commands which are impossible or meaningless for you. It changes how your brain works, but doesn't give you any additional knowledge and still allows for plenty of miscommunication, interpretation and even adaptation. Not to mention there have been a few cases of resistance to and even subversion of a command. The show established that one would carry out a command to the best of their abilities, and showed through Suzaku that the command would persist indefinitely. Even if didn't understand "die" at a young age, he would when he grows up. It's pretty clear when you're an adult. The only resistences we saw were due to sheer willpower because the user felt so strongly, so desperate. Euphy wanted peace between Japan and Britannia so she resisted, but ultimately submitted. The only time she seemed to break it was with Suzaku, because she loved him. Nunally broke the Emperor's Geass because she was desperate to stop her brother and end the fighting. I never got them impression that Akito was 'desperate' enough to live that he could break the Geass, let alone change the meaning of 'die' to 'murder with glee and share this command with other people somehow, work it out yourself'. jgomezg said: On the contrary, I feel Suzaku's use of the "LIVE!" command would be a good example of that evolution. He couldn't control it at first, but near the end of the story Suzaku had already learned how to exploit the command to his advantage and he did that in a sense which wasn't connected to Lelouch's original intention. Not to mention that, rather than doing everything necessary to survive in a mindless manner, Suzaku was able to successfully fake his death in spite of all the risks involved. That's quite a bit more complicated than just reacting on instinct to save himself. But again, he did that by placing himself in these extreme circumstances that would prompt the Geass to force him to live, allowing him to perform actions he wouldn't willingly perform because of his kind nature. He used it to remove the 'human' aspect that was, in his eyes, holding him back. I can't see how you could use an order to 'die' to become stronger, let alone share it with other people. Honestly, I was expecting his Geass to actually be something like a power that stirrs up the bloodlust in people, prompting them to become violent, even psychopathic. That would've actually made sense for the most part, though still would've been a little sketchy for other parts, I guess. |

Was this possibly lead to R2 Story?? No one knows... That never happened in the actual series especially that Lelouch & suzaku part.. Lelouch and Suzaku were in this movie? Oh yeah, that's right. They played such... MINOR parts, I daresay the whole thing would have remained unchanged without 'em. But hey, gotta reel in the audiance somehow. |

| I think one of the reasons why they end up with the Gypsies at the end is because the guy (don't remember his name) declared publicly that Leila and everyone at the castle are dead, and therefore their IDs are not valid anymore and Leila and the others probably cannot access their bank accounts as well, which leave them in a troublesome situation. The second reason is because the weeks they spent there were happy moments, which I'm sure they left the Gypsies with regrets, so they came back. |

| Well, with every movie this series felt less like Code Geass in my opinion. While in Code Geass it became more and more a battle about the world, this felt focussed on a small area where the rest of the world didn't matter much. The EU, Britannia etc. didn't play much of a role. The political leadership of Britannia even less. The Geass and how it was used also was quite different to the original show. Was quite happy when Lelouch, Suzaku etc. were shown in trailers, but in the end the didn't matter much. Their role in movie 3 was ok, but in 4 and 5 they were almost non existing. Sad to see, since the movies were lacking remarkable characters in my opinion. Also liked how they showed Lelouch and his struggle against the Geass. Fits the original show. Completely defeated in the end of season 1, dragged to his mortal enemy and then used by that enemy to serve him. The struggle against this command fits very well, too. Just as we saw it with Euphy. If the acting due to the Geass contradicts the nature of the person so much, this person will be able to temporarily resist the Geass. Sad to see they did not show more of this development of Lelouch. Same goes for Suzaku. Thrilling to see how cold bloded he was and his struggle concerning his feelings about Lelouch. Pure hatred for what he done while he still has not abandoned their friendship. Story wise I thought the series had a good start but decreased during the further movies. The Code Geass Universe is quite interesting, but since they focussed on such a small area (as said before) they did not exploit it's potential. Would have liked to see the war between Britannia and their leaders we know from the original series against the EU. But this was no the case. Instead it focussed on a personal drama between two persons we never met before. Well, what was good about this series? Definitely the visuals. They were stunning. Very high quality and a pleasure to see. Not only the fights, but also the landscape or the humans themself. Since I am rewatching the original series at the moment it is kind of a dissapointment to get back to this quality in visuals. So in total I was dissapointed of the movies. The beginning of the series was good, but with every movie it went into a direction I liked less. This could have been played in a total different universe without changing to much. In other words, it did not feel much like Code Geass. Mech Fights, drama between 2 persons as center of attraction, tragic pasts and Deus Ex Machina moments are not Code Geass specific. The Code Geass universe has quite some potential for side stories, so maybe in the future we see a better one. |
| Good episode, but way too happy of an ending. I kinda like Leila's attitude in the early episode. Where she herself was willing to go to the battlefield. But once that's done, she just resumed commanding officer and never went back. Also that troll trailer on how Leila has Akito's hair and it implied that she had to kill him in some way. Shaing was too power hungry. Tbh, he was just consumed by power and was gifted to him by a geass. What this show needed to explain is who was the death guy that gave him the geass? What about the pink hair girl that keeps on appearing with that General? I found on the wikia and she is called "Caretaker of Spacetime". So i'm guessing she too is a member of the geass order? And with Julius dark face was shown during the massacre at Europa. People could have figured out that he was Emperor Lelouch in R2? The show focuse more on Knightmares and Leila and Akito. It barely explain and showed any of the geass other than it can be passed on to other people. I already saw on wiki that we have so many geass members that were never mention in the main series. So I'm not surprise Sunrise is milking this up. Was hoping the gang would go to Japan or at least there were aware of Zero's terror. Much of the promotional things showed Akito, Suzaku and Julius(Lelouch) on both covers. Was hoping all three would meet up somehow. They gave us some connection to the main series at least. Also Rolo was wearing one of those knight garments at the end? :P Ah well it's over anyways. So many questions that needed to answer. They still haven't explained Leila's geass or why C.C gave her a chance to live. I really hope Leila and Akito would appear after R2. And maybe explain the geass order and probably somewhere out there. Lelouch is still alive. They have a 10th anniversary event happening this year. So expect some huge announcements!! I give it an 8/10. |

| About Akito's geass: Well, he is totally reckless while it's active, so maybe instead of direct suicide, he's simply attempting suicide by battle.. After all, as pointed out, the geass doesn't say how to carry it out beyond the actual words. Maybe Akito is simply not suicidal by nature, so the easiest way he can imagine to die is to go into the worst battle he can find. That may even be why he ended up in the military in the first place. About the episode: It was a bit weird with the random Lelouch/Suzaku scenes, and that time-space continuum thingy was unncessary. She could have used the anti-explosion gel the first time etc. It didn't really make the story better. The ending was nice though. I think it's one of the most unique. High-tech settings, characters in the military, and they end up in a small gypsy camp they came across by accident some episodes earlier? Too bad about Shin and Jean, but at least they are together wherever they are (seeing how death is not really the end there, even without resurrections) and even Akito got the girl. They even kissed on screen *and* in front of the others, so in the (almost) final scene they broke with many of the traditions (tropes) they spent so much time to uphold all this tiime. |
| Hmm no No That was a really weird ending The journey (movie 1-4), actions, characters development is pretty interesting But they're just gonna leave it like it Just throw everyone's opinions into cluster of nothingness Don't forget to put Lelouch a bit for fans No No No Even if it's a happy end, it's a pretty confusing ending   |

| great nude scene by jean 10/10 |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Great action. A little disappointed with the plot, but I liked the happy ending for Akito and co. |
| This was definitely not the ending I was expecting and hoping for... It seems every male character in this show has a grandma fetish |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Enjoyed all the action in all five of the episodes and was satisfied with where the characters all end up at the end but did not understand enough about the different geass aspects to be fully satisfied. 1) What was the geass power of Shin and Leila? 2) What was with the whole teleporting thing at the end? From what I gathered, Shin's geass had something to do with making people commit suicide or possibly just any command in general (but he only commanded people to die). Leila's geass had something to do with manipulating time which was then used to rewind time, look into the past and possibly have something to do with Akito and Shin reminiscing about the past (a bit farfetched though...). About the teleportation at the end, that could possibly have to do with the supernatural woman (that Leila saw previously) being unimpressed with the performance of Smilas (maybe a personal experiment on the part of the woman to see whether humans are worthy of the geass?) OR Leila's ability to manipulate time makes her able to manipulate space as well (considering time and space are connected) and thus the portal. All in all, enjoyed the series but the amount of plot and content in there is really more suited to a whole 12 or 24 ep anime rather than 5 movies... the last movie felt rather rushed and the friendships formed at the end between Ashley and the Wyverns felt artificial |
| I like the darkness. There’s something to the feeling of not knowing your surroundings, not seeing the colour of things as they appear, but as they truly are. There’s something about the unknown, the quiet, the cold. There’s something unspoken about the dark, something I can never quite put words to. Something terrifying yet beautiful. |
| =/ Ugh, that was terrible. Expected it to be somewhat good considering it's related to the anime series but it just turned into some bland movie series. I had an image of Akito plotting some revenge or had hatred towards the world in the beginning, but he just turned out to be some wimpy little bro shouting "Oni-chan"! throughout the movie. They were just throwing Geass powers around throughout the movie. Lelouch and Suzaku were only there to make us watch these series...Lelouch just wanted water the whole freaking time lol. And really? That scene with Jean and the other girl was ridiculously cheesy. What side submits to the other with words and a hug? |
