Trivia / Code Geass: Akito the Exiled

Go To

  • Cross-Dressing Voices: Young Akito is voiced by Ryōka Yuzuki. Young Shin is voiced by Junko Minagawa, who also plays Cornelia in the main series.
  • No Dub for You: Madman Entertainment decided to release sub only DVDs of each OVA episode as a way to hold fans over in Australia. Averted eventually in 2017, when Funimation announced they were finally releasing a complete collection with both dub and sub.
  • Production Posse: A musical example: The OST was composed by Ichiko Hashimoto, with a theme song composed by Yoko Kanno and performed by Maaya Sakamoto. All three had previously worked on RahXephon (in the exact same roles, no less).
  • Role Reprise: Johnny Yong Bosch, Yuri Lowenthal, Kate Higgins and Spike Spencer all managed to reprise their roles for the English dub despite fan concerns after how many years it took for the OVAs to be released in the US (especially after the closures of both Bandai Entertainment and the original series' dubbing companies Animaze and Magnitude 8 Post) and the fact that the middle 2 actors haven't done much or no work at all for Funimation before.
  • Schedule Slip: All 5 OVAs took a total of 5 years to come out in Japan, each installment getting increasingly delayed from the last (to the point where it was originally only 4 episodes in total but then increased to 5). The first installment screened in cinemas in 2012 and the finale in 2016.
  • Word of Saint Paul: When the dub direction was made for the EU characters to have European accents to show that the OVA is set in Europe, Jeannie Tirado mentioned on her Twitter she got help so that Leila speaks with a French accent.
