Code Geass: Akito the Exiled

   First off, it isn't a anime series. It's a short OVA series that takes place in a different place while at a slightly different time.

   I watched episode one of the OVA series for Akito the Exiled and it really brings back some memories about the old Code Geass R1 & R2 which took me around two weeks to finish them! So far there is no Lelouch and I don't think there will be. They did show Suzaku, though. As well as some hinting at some "flash backs" with C2 in the preview for the next OVA episode.

   The plot was engaging right from the start and the various key character threads were introduced seamlessly. Gradually the personality clues and plot hints draw you deeper into the story and desperately make you want to know more while still giving you a good feel of who these characters are essentially which makes it like the old Code Geass.

   The discordant classical BGM was an interesting albeit nontraditional choice but I feel it suites the actual OVA better then the previews and gives Boukoku no Akito its own special tone. Overall, what i can say is that it is a great first installment and I can’t wait for the next part to see what's going to happen.

The allied unit left behind on the European warfront which they're searching.

Some familiar faces from Code Geass R1 & R2 return in the scene.
