The fourth episode of Code Geass: Akito the Exiled is set to land in just a few days on July 4th in theaters and now Bandai Visual is doing what it can to draw more fans in by teasing them with a really extended preview. The company has brought out the first eight minutes of the OVA online, without subtitles of course, in 360p video form. So it’s not high quality but it makes you want to see it in a higher quality form right away. Bandai Visual has set an October 28th, 2015 home video release date for the episode with the usual regular and limited edition Blu-ray releases, both of which will feature English subtitles. Check out the cover artwork for them below.
The third episode premiered on May 2nd, 2015 in theaters with a home video release to follow. The episode was originally going to get a March 2015 premiere, but was pushed back after the second episode got pushed back significantly previously.
The show has been picked up for release in North America by FUNimation and has been licensed in Australia by Madman. The original series was licensed in North America by Bandai Entertainment but has fallen out of print since the closure of the company. FUNimation picked up the rights to both properties back in the summer of 2013.
