An anime film trilogy recapping the two anime seasons screened in Japan in October 2017, February 2018, and May 2018, with each installment featuring several changes to the original storyline. The Fukkatsu no Lelouch (Lelouch of the Re;surrection) sequel film, taking place in the alternate continuity established in the recap trilogy, debuted last February.
Bandai Entertainment originally licensed the anime in North America in 2007 and released the two seasons on home video from 2008 to 2010. Funimation reacquired the anime series in 2013 and shipped both seasons in 2016. The distributor also licensed the recap trilogy and the sequel film and released them last March and on February 25, respectively.
