Reviews

I'd like to first clarify that this is a review of only the first movie. I have not seen the rest yet, but I will. Code Geass is my #1 favorite anime series but this OVA was unbearable to watch. I never knew I could watch a 50 minute movie in which NOTHING happens. By the end of it there isnt even really a goal established unless you want to speculate. This might as well have been a jumble of random boring scenes that just barely matter. The only thing we know about the protagonist so far is that he's Japanese and pretty edgy. The other character who I cant bother to remember the name of, has basically only been shown as some Neo Euphemia with an arranged marriage dilemma. It's not inaccurate to say that almost nothing happens in this movie and almost anything that does, doesn't seem to matter. I acknowledge that a lot more can be established with the limited stuff they've shown but the first movie is an introduction to Akito the Exiled and as an introduction it falls flat to create any interest in the story. I had to try to watch this 3 times before finally breaking through the boredom and completing it. But yeah, not very good. Probably the most boring anime i've layed my eyes on.
