Set in the same universe as the massively popular "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" — you know, that legendary series that had everyone glued to their screens from 2006 to 2008 — "Akito the Exiled" marks the franchise's very first spin-off venture. If you were already invested in this world, this one expands it in ways that make returning to the Code Geass universe an endeavor genuinely worth your time.
