Code Geass: Akito the Exiled (Japanese: コードギアス 亡国のアキト, Hepburn: Kōdo Giasu: Bōkoku no Akito) is a Japanese anime original video animation (OVA) series and a spin-off to the main Code Geass series. It was created by Sunrise and directed by Kazuki Akane. The story is set in Europe during the Britannian invasion of the continent between Lelouch of the Rebellion's two seasons, focusing on the young soldier Akito Hyuga from the European Army and his superior Leila Malcal, both of whom are victims of a power known as Geass.[2]
The five episode OVA originated from Sunrise's desire to produce a new work related to the franchise with Akane taking the director role despite his inexperience with it. Akane has cited both the Roman Empire and the 2011 earthquake as influences for the OVA's darker narrative. It was written by Hiroshi Ōnogi with music composed by Ichiko Hashimoto. In North America the series was released by Funimation and in Australia by Madman Entertainment.
Despite the OVA being commercially successful, critics have provided both positive and negative comments. Praise was given to the OVA's character-driven scenarios for how they handle the duo of Akito and Leila as both gradually develop their characters while bonding during war.
