Reception

Box office

The first film failed to reach top 10 in the Japanese box office in its first week.[16] The third film debuted at number 7 in its opening weekend.[17]

Critical reception

Richard Eisenbeis of Anime News Network gave the first film an A- rating, and stated "Not only does it give us an excellent main character in Rozé (someone who feels both similar to and distinct from our previous protagonists), but also a true Code Geass story without undercutting what came before."[18] For the second film, he gave a B+ rating, and stated "Outside of the big battle, the rest of this part of the anime spends time on intrigue rather than action."[19]
