Funimation brought out the Code Geass: Akito the Exiled release back on June 27th, 2017 on home video and now the series is getting some new distribution. Thanks to the partnership between the two, Crunchyroll is now streaming the five-episode OVA series on their service in its original Japanese language with English subtitles. Because the rights to this one got divided up between a lot of players previously, Funimation only has the rights to it in the US and Canada and that’s where Crunchyroll can stream it.
Check out our review of the series.
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.
