Funimation has awhile to go before their June 26th, 2017 release of Code Geass: Akito the Exiled on DVD and Blu-ray but they’re getting some good marketing bits out for it. The newest piece is the first bit of English dub casting news for it that has revealed that Jeannie Tirado will be playing Leila while Micah Solusod will be playing Akito. Check out their character cards below!
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 had fallen out of print since the closure of the company. FUNimation picked up the rights to both properties back in the summer of 2013.
Plot concept: Leila Malcal, commander of her very own W-0 unit for the European army, takes on dangerous missions with her powerful and mysterious lieutenant, Akito Hyuga. With a group of rebels on their side, they fight the Britannian army but face more than the typical perils of war. A foe from Akito’s past seeks his life and a dark power threatens all that Leila has worked for.
