THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
For a shoujo series, I kinda like the setting it takes place in. It has a steampunk-like feel.

Cardia is the main heroine and she has a special case of posion inside of her. It didn't take long for the anime to show that she can be deadly to humans when approached the wrong way.

Visually, I think this anime looks good especially in terms of quality. Out of all the main male characters introduced so far, that Lupin guy has my attention the most.

Despite being a supportive character, I'm glad KajiKaji's character appeared at very beginning. His "London Bridge Falling Down" is creepy in good way.

The main girl is everyone's target because of what her father put in. No wonder her personality is like that, because she doesn't have any memory until 2 years ago.

Starts of her life in a mansion with 3 guys (or 4? because I heard there's one more that not appeared yet) who seems to be nice to her.

OP aired as ED.

I have played the vita game already and so I have wonder how they will fit this massive long story in 12/13? episodes. I like how they rewrote the story of the beginning part (the guys encounter) so they can fast-track to the important/best part in future episodes. I'm also glad there is a lot of focus on Lupin .

Otomate/Idea factory anime from visual novel has always been hit/miss. But this one is definitely great and I have good feeling about this. Excited for the next episode.

Oh wow, one of my favourite first episodes of the season, however, considering this is based off of a visual novel (I believe) the only thing I am concerned about is the pacing and how they will pull it off. Other than that I am excited to see more; the animation and art style are very pretty.

Pretty good start, the setting and set up of this episode was nice.

Characters seem like a good and fun bunch as well,
Feel bad for Cardia and the situation she was put in by her Dad, hope things get better for her and that we find out why in the world her Dad did something like that.

Overall, looks like a pretty nice fantasy shoujo series, will look forward to more.

That was better than I expected, much better.

The setting has a steampunk like feel and I think I have a weakness for animes which have this kind of a setting.

Lupin and the other main characters are charming and likeable. The fist part reminded me of Tuxedo Mask tho...

The animation isn't really unique but it still has a good vibe to it and tbh, this reminds me of Kekkai Sensen(a lot) and Akame ga Kill because the heroes are being thought of as terrorists by the authorities.

Great start, imo this is one of the strongest first episodes of the season. I wish I could play the VN but I have neither a PS Vita nor a Play Station 4 -_-

The art and animation are very good. Cardia is so pretty and interesting and Lupin and Impey are likeable too so far. I'm excited for the next episode. I hope it does justice to thd original source, given that this is only a one cour.

Definitely better than expected. I really like the visuals and the animation. Now the only thing that troubles me is that it will only be 12 episodes. I hope that it will not rush things out and disappoint us.

Cardia is so very pretty. I really like the steampunk feel to it and Cardia's outfit is really nice. The guys are interesting and definitely looking forward to meeting the rest, but so far I like Cardia more than the guys.

Usually I'm sceptical when it comes to Anime adaptations based on otome games. It's easy to get disappointed. Especially when they are not using the featrues you liked the most inside the game (or fous on characters you don't like). I loved the game and I really enjoyed to watch the first Episode.

I'm so glad they seem to focus on Lupin as main male character and I hope they will continue. Out of the guys he's my favorite. I like the others too but I don't like when they start to go from one to another in an anime just to fit as much of the game as possible.

Cardia has not shown much of her unique personality in this episode but it just started. And I wonder how they will continue (I liked the changes they made so far to make the beginning shorter).

There are three things that dominated my mind while watching it..
1. Wow... The art is really nice..
2. OMG!! Lupin and Cordelia.. I ship those two so much!!
3. THAT RED HAIRED GUY'S VOICE!! I'M SURE THAT I'VE HEARD YOU SOMEWHERE BEFORE YET WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER IT!!!
then I realize the answer at the end of the episode.. Yes.. I remembered that his voice is similar to Reiji's voice from utapri.. Which also surprise me that I also saw Okita there.. Lol XD

I've been wanting to play this game for a long time even before the anime was announced.. So I have a pretty high hope for this! XD


I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD

The series is off to a good start, what with the steampunk atmosphere, excellent visuals and the A-list voice performances, especially with Saori Hayami. For now, the series did an excellent blending of anime storytelling and British etiquette when introducing the characters. Also, you can tell a huge portion of the budget went into the visuals given how detailed the animation is. Definitely a keeper for the new season.

I love it already. A very great start to the series. Cardia is so beautiful & the guys are quite handsome too. I have a strong feeling about Lupin being the ONE for Cardia. I know it's only the beginning but I can feel it. The setting and animation is good. I'm looking forward to more episodes.

I like it so far, it's moderately faithful to the VN.
The shift from the first person to the third person seems to have allowed the writers to get more important information out quickly, but it seems like it's come at the expense of Cardia's characterization, at least they established her motivations.

After seeing a bad adaptation like Dies Irae, I'm glad that this adaptation is getting justice. Code:Realize was truly a top-tier otome VN, and I hope it receives the recognition it deserves.

Honestly at first a bit skeptical when I saw the PV, but turn out to be quite good from the Ep. 1. Rarely watch anime that aim toward shoujo but hope this will be a good one like kaichou wa maid sama. Hope the male chara. is at this level, not over the top in terms of the art style, cause now it looks quite good like normal bishounen suppose to be.

Damnn, I'm liking this anime already :))

The animation is beautiful and so are the characters. Im shipping Lupin and Cardia already :D

So far, my favorite character is Cardia bc I feel her personality is unique and different from the others. Lupin is also pretty sexy tbh

The story is also really interesting, as well as the romance <3

I think it looks very cool and promising so far! The art style is beautiful, I thought the opening was okay, and I really like Lupin and Impey. Just by looking at them, and in the first episode alone, you can tell exactly what their personalities are just by looking at them, and they're everything you'd think they'd be.

"Code:Realize" looks very romantic and amazing in only the first episode. I can't wait to see where this goes.

I have the game and I waited so "long" (long enough) for the anime to come out!
I'll devoure every second of it.

Cardia is such a loveable character and not the typical Reverse-Harem Heroine. I like all of the guys (favorite is Lupin) but she is so wonderful!! And there's so much more to the story than only handsome guys ;)

I admit though that in some parts the animation is a bit awkward (Lupin's arm being weirdly thin, or his eyes looking at nowhere). But for the other parts it's stunning (Cardia's eyes)

Honestly it is not my type of genre, but it may turn out to be good.
For a moment I thought they also want to use that thing so they kidnapped her, but it is only about preventing others from possessing it.
Nice ohime design. Cogwheels rolling on the street killed me. Also those names.
3/5 episode. It was OK.

Mehh.
I've already played the VN so I was curious about how they were gonna do this, but honestly I don't think there's any point in me watching a slightly uglier, condensed version of a really good Otome game...because it's only gonna be 12 episodes and that's gonna be a bit of a squeeze imo.

It was nice hearing Cardia have a voice though! Hopefully the anime gets her character right, because in the game, she's easily one of the best Otome leads out there.
Also Cardia be sleeping on Impey when he's actually best boy

One of my favourite first episodes so far of this season. I thought all the characters were great. I really like Lupin, who seems like a loveable rogue type chap.

And Cardia is an absolute cutie. I hope she finds a home with the boys.

The outfits are AWESOME. I love the steampunk look of them.

And the chemistry between Lupin/Cardia is adorable. I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP
