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." Recruited from ghettos, these young men and women pilot Knightmare frames—humanoid war machines—into dangerous operations where death awaits, hoping to make a name for themselves. When a European regiment attempting to recapture a crucial city is pinned down by the enemy, it's up to W-0 to bail them out. 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 mission becomes suicidal when, in an attempt to take out as many Britannians as possible, the commanding officer initiates the Knightmare's self-destruct sequence. In its aftermath, Akito finds that he is the last one standing… [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Interesting start to the Akito spinoff. The European setting gives the Code Geass universe a fresh perspective, and I liked seeing how Elevens are treated outside of Area 11. The Alexander mech designs are cool but Akito himself feels a bit too stoic for my taste this early on. The action carries it though.
I was expecting the worse but bro it was actually fun to watch idk maybe i’m just easily entertained 😭
Solid opening for the Akito OVA series. The worldbuilding establishes the European front of the Code Geass universe convincingly, and seeing the conflict from the EU perspective adds real depth. Akito's introduction as a capable but emotionally distant pilot works well, and the wZERO unit concept raises interesting questions about how Elevens are treated outside Britannia. The action choreography with the Alexanders is visually impressive but the pacing feels a bit rushed trying to set up so many characters at once.
