Hello everyone! Long time no post.

I went to the advanced screening of Code Geass Boukoku no Akito today and OMG, it was sooooooooo gooooooooood!!!!! Akito is really cool! And the way he pilots his Knightmare Frame... *___* It reminded me a lot of Zoids at first, and then it transformed into a more human-like form. Akito's seiyuu Irino Miyu mentioned before the screening that he would like us to take note of the action scenes and indeed they were very cool! It's something that definitely needs to be watched in blu-ray HD.

Anyway! Spoilers cuz I'm sure everyone is curious. I'm not going to get too detailed but am just gonna whet your appetite a bit . >D

Anyone excited yet? XDDD Bandai Entertainment is no more in the U.S. but I can't see anyone NOT picking this up so I'm going to be eagerly awaiting a North American BD release. The action scenes really are very well done. It's done in CG but doesn't stand out so much that it looks unnatural with the rest of the animation. There is a lot of movement (think Gundam UC battles) and I was very impressed.

I had tickets to both advanced showings today but because they were very close together, I only caught the last 8-10 minutes of the showing in Shinjuku. (The first was in Ikebukuro.) I think I need to go watch it again when the general showing starts. *____*
Right now, Bandai online is featuring Code Geass and all of its current projects. Take a look if you are awake! (edit: it's over. They featured Nunnally in Wonderland and the updates to the Akito website)

The Code Geass: Akito the Exiled website has a lot of updates including movie ticket info, updated story, character, mech, and merchandise pages. The background images look really nice.
