Code Geass: Akito the Exiled 1: The Wyvern Arrives Trailers

The side story takes place in 2017 a.t.b., between the rise of the “Black Knights” organization and the return of the supposedly "dead" Zero. The setting is in Europe, where the European Union (E.U.) allied nations are being invaded by the overwhelming forces of the Holy Britannian Empire. On the verge of defeat, the E.U. army forms a special unit known as “W-0″, of which a young pilot named Akito Hyuga is a member. Leila Malkal , a former Britannian Aristocrat comes to the E.U.'s aid, commanding the “Wyvern” Knightmare corps comprised of Japanese teenagers. They recklessly plunge into a battlefield, where the survival rate is extremely low, at about 5% only. They fight for their freedom and for a "home" to which they can return.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
cruzchristopher It's an in between season of Code Geass that does justice seeing what occured between that time. Akito Hyuga had to fight the last of his family that he had left. He got the satisfaction he desired bur the nightmare is far from over. I loved ever minute of this and will watch it again cause i own it and the english dub is great
surya teja The Story begins with the EU forces fighting against the Britannian Forces in the European region away from area 11. Akito an eleven is the lone survivor in the first battle, of course Lt. Akito Hyuga has this geass power as his brother. Leila becomes the commander after the success of her operation. 3 underground Japanese rebels attempts to kidnap an officer but fails due to akito. They aren't punished but given a chance to fight along with her Z-0 team. This bull crap story drags for 50 min which made me awful If you liked codegeass R1 and R2 you might possibly like the 2nd episode where Julius Kingsley(resembling Lelouch vi Brittania) is accompanied by Suzaku to St.Petersburg as the Military Adviser. His entry dialogue is the lone scene which makes it worth to watch ep-2 (ending only) and probably ep-3 (Spring 2014)Overall Akito the exiled ep-1 and ep-2 are not worth watching
