About Code Geass: Akito the Exiled - The Wyvern Arrives

Code Geass: Akito the Exiled - The Wyvern Arrives (Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito 1 - Yokuryuu wa Maiorita) arrives as an action anime by Sunrise (2012), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: It is the year 2017, and Europe is being invaded by the forces of the Holy Britannian Empire. In an attempt to combat the opposition's overwhelming pressure and put an end to the massive casualties, the army forms a special unit called Wyvern, or W-0, composed of former Japanese citizens referred to as "Elevens.

Also worth knowing: Recruited from ghettos, these young men and women pilot Knightmare frames—humanoid war machines—into risky operations where death awaits. Among those selected for the rescue operation is Lieutenant Akito Hyuuga, known as "Hannibal's Ghost" due to his prowess on the battlefield. However, the supposed rescue assignment grows into suicidal when, in an attempt to take out as many Britannians as possible, the commanding officer initiates the Knightmare's self-destruct sequence.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
