Funimation brought out the Code Geass: Akito the Exiled release back on June 27th, 2017 and after hitting us up with a trailer previously they now have a new dub clip for it. This one clocks in at just over two minutes and focuses on the action side with the mecha and some more personal ways of going up against them. With the original TV series out previously, fans are definitely looking forward to digging into some new material that expands the project. With the five episode OVA series here, it comes with an audio commentary for the first episode and a video commentary for the third.
The English cast includes Micah Solusod as Akito Hyuga, Jeannie Tirado as Leila Malcal, Ricco Fajardo as Ryo Sayama, Aaron Dismuke as Yukiya Naruse, Elizabeth Maxwell as Ayano Kosaka, Alex Organ as Shin Hyuga, Jad Saxton as Jean Rowe, Joel McDonald as Ashley Ashra, Yuri Lowenthal as Suzaku and Kate Higgins as C.C..
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 and released the TV series in October 2016.
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.
