New Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito Info

Finally, some new information on the Code Geass spin-off anime, Boukoku no Akito (Code Geass: Akito the Exiled). At a Code Geass event that took place last week, Sunrise announced that the anime will be shown in Japanese theatres starting this summer. The main character Akito is going to be voiced by Irino Miyu, and Sakamoto Maaya will play Reira Marukaru as well as sing the show's theme song. The song will reunite Maaya with composer Kanno Yoko (Macross Frontier, Sousei no Aquarion) and lyricist Iwasato Yuuho. The three of them worked on Maaya's debut song "Yakusoku wa Iranai", which was the opening theme for 1996's Tenkuu no Escaflowne. Sunrise is also planning to release a movie adaptation of the original Code Geass TV series Lelouch of the Rebellion, but haven't said anything about a release date.
