(this review is for all 5 parts of Akito The Exiled) Code Geass never fails at telling interesting stories, though the first 2 chapters run quite slow, the pace picks up very quickly by the end of part 2. Differently from the original series, Akito The Exiled focuses more on the military aspect of Code Geass rather than the psychological one, which is the part i’m most interested in, Akito has a very intriguing backstory, but that and why he is the way he is are only told in a few short scenes and flashbacks, i think his story could’ve been much better told with a fullseries that’d allow more time for character developement

Lelouch also appears in the short series alongside Suzaku, same as before, this series is too short only giving them a few scenes and showing just a glimps of Lelouch’s mental state inbetween Code Geass and R2
