Having seen the frist Akito the Exiled Ova(or movie,call it whatever you like) and being excited about the second one and having waited for over a year for it,I can say,it was worth the wait! I don't want to take very long about this so I'll try to be quick.
When I first saw Akito the exiled 1 I was,let's say,kind of conflicted(or maybe scared xP) because I love the Code Geass franchise and when someone tries to push more of an anime just because it was a hit doesn't always have good results.Well I can fairly say that the first movie was quite enjoyable and
...
unexpectedly good!Though being a side story, it is really exciting and interesting to learn more about what effects had the Britannian empire expansion wars on other parts of the world and the thoughts of people in other countries as well...The first movie didn't say that much and left everyone wondering I guess,well,the second movie has some things more to say...
-Story:( Remains the same) I give it a 7/10 because it isn't as good as the original Code geass' story and I've got to point it out(it's a code geass movie after all).It is fairly good altogether,introducing us more characters(and actually very well-written ones) and showing the outcome of the war that has yet to end.
-Art:8/10 Let's begin with the charcter designs.The same bishounen-like designs are everywhere you look.Those chins are so sharp that could be used as drills.Despite that,the designs aren't bad(they are fabulous!),and it's not like they couldn't do them differently,it's just how they like the characters to be! Now the animation.Just like the original code geass,it is exactly like it but,some slight difference in the action scenes,I mean,wow,they managed to pull out some really great fighting scenes,I could throw money at them for those scenes!
-Sound: 8/10 The OST's were very good,I could say even better than the first one's,having added some jazz-like soundtracks as well!They really were fitting in the scenes they were put in!Despite being good,they are nothing very special,I could say they are above "fine". Also,I really love the ending theme(More than words by Maaya Sakamoto)!
-Enjoyment: 9/10 There were some parts in the first movie that I was like"Why am I still watching this?" but,none of those parts existed in the second movie! I didn't even understand when the movie ended! I was so engrossed in it...
So,my final score on Code Geass Akito the exiled 2 is 8/10! I recommend this movie to anyone who likes well-written dialogs as well as fine developed characters,good voice acting,soundtracks and animation,and of course,to anyone who likes Code Geass!
