| So this is basically a shoujo with reverse harem. I can give an oportunity, looks interesting. So... is this anime fan of Lupin III? |
| Wow, the was unexpectedly good. I will follow this one with high interest this season. Reverse harems are a guilty pleasure of mine, even if most are cliché at best and just sad at worst. Code:Realize seem to stand out from norm, with likeable characters, a slightly mysterious and fairly interesting plot, and a heroine with a snow white innocent side and are dark deadly side with space for a lot of personal growth. Not to mention the setting. If steampunk and victorian London had a baby it would look like that, and it´s a pretty goregous baby. I´m really digging Cardia´s outfit aswell, it certainly fits the theme of the show. Looking forward to the rest, for some reason I don´t think it will dissapoint me :) |

| A mansion that holds a beautiful girl that ended up being stormed by the knights of London now thats interesting. So the girl in question has a condition that makes physical contact lethal then. The ambush of the convoy was pretty well planned but Arsene's entrance sure was funny. Never expected this team of thieves to have a mansion as their stronghold though. Cardia's father was a genius that revolutionized London then. Cardia's virus must really inconvenient her though. So Cardia has no memory of why the crystals were put in her then. Lupin see's a bit of his childhood in Cardia then. An interesting episode that introduced some really interesting cast of characters though. |

| Colour me surprised. I had low hopes since otome game adaptations usually miss the mark, but this was a pretty solid first episode. I'm glad they're already getting into the chemistry between Cardia and Lupin. If they can find a way to keep the focus on him while still giving the other boys their day in the limelight, I'll be one happy C:R fan. |
| I love the steampunk vibes. The plot looks interesting enough, the art is beautiful. I don't mind having a girl surrounded by handsome boys. I hope that once she starts developing a personality (episodes 3 and further, based on the above post) I won't be let down. |

sporkoon said: I'm just...intensely disappointed because I didn't know this was a reverse harem going in. I thought it was going to be a dark Victorian romance with horror elements based on the description and opening scenes.. I had such high hopes for what Cardia's character could be and then she turned out to have zero personality like every other otome protagonist out there -_- I won't give this a bad rating just cause I can't stand reverse harems, it seems to be better than most and the animation is absolutely beautiful.. I'm just upset because this whole premise has so much potential if it were a different genre. She is a blank character because she is a doll that had no positive connection with other humans most of her life (her own father says she should become an isolated monster), the entire episode nods to her personal growth in the future. The first episode changed some things from the original but Cardia no way in hell is bland and has no agency, she connects with more positive influence and becomes more capable every day. I don't know why some people expect full character development within the first episode, or couldn't see that the entire prologue here is a set up for a gloomy doll with no knowledge to become her own character. |

I don't know why some people expect full character development within the first episode, or couldn't see that the entire prologue here is a set up for a gloomy doll with no knowledge to become her own character. Ok ok, if she has massive character development later on that's great, but you gotta admit reverse harems don't have stellar track records for strong female characters. They're often purposely made to be kind of dull so that ordinary girls can project themselves onto them and imagine themselves as bishounen magnets. So when I see yet another blank slate + amnesia otome protagonist what am I supposed to think? I'll admit I'm probably being more critical because what I expected was so different from what I got. I'm trying to decide if I want to give it another shot, but this probably just isn't my cup of tea. I know that happens with some otome MCs because they want you to focus on the guys, I play them. However that's not the case with the original C:R because the heroine has it's own growth and exposition, and she's competent just like her bachelors. Granted, maybe the anime fails to convey her true character because of the rushed narrative (the original is a long VN), but I hope they do a better job later on with her. The introduction in the anime does it's necessary job(bare minimum) but in the game . Some things are different already. Anyway, maybe it's not your cup of tea and in the future the anime keeps failing to convey the MCs importance(I really hope not), but the original C:R it's vastly different from the average otome game. |

Tokoya said: I like the setting but so far the show looks like it'll be decent at best but Lupin is really charming though 2nd that. And of course he is, it's a shoujo after all xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I thought it'd be a shounen, but I suppose a shoujo could be good... right? I wasn't really blown away by this first episode, but I like how it's based in London! I'm pretty sure the creators of this based it on Black Butler or are huge fans of it, because the three male mcs literally each look like 3 characters from black butler. Atleast it's not all posh here like annoying dick heads say England is! |
| Pretty nice setting. Really enjoy this setting. Hope to get more answers in the next episode. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| The plot was nice, but all this "pretty" and "cool" guys was the dissapoint for this series, because this style broken the narrative plot trying to do funny!!! |
| Surprised I did expect that this will be bad, however turned out to be okay reverse harem with accaptable art and somewhat interesting plot, kinda looking forward to next episode. |
| Did one of the Rokka, Aldet, escape here? hey, didnt see the shoujo tag before I watch it, but it was good for first ep. |
 |
| well it wasn't that bad |
 |
Seriously, I find super funny its an Otome game yet I ended up with Cardia as my one true Waifu, she is the best, and as if that wasn't enough she is being voiced by one of my favorites VA, match made in heaven. |

| Another Frankenstein in anime this season... It was nice, Cardia is a lovable girl! Lupin is a bit full of himself, but he is likable. |
 |
| Great first ep. I love the original VN to death, but seeing the anime meet my expectations is a pleasant surprise, especially after being disappointed by so many other Otome adaptations. Looking forward to Cardia's development into a strong-willed heroine. |
| I thought this was a horror at the start lmao. This is definitely a dark horse of the season. I noticed that the studio behind this hasn't made anything in 3 years. ...Interesting. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Not bad. I've always enjoyed the romanticized Elizabethan/Victorian setting. Still not sure why the dog led her outside, I mean was there a point or was it just to for her to be like "I'm a monster"? Eh. Lupin seems like a cool dude though. |
| Mostly meh to me. The most interesting part was when the doggo showed up, and least interesting were the scenes where Lupin was talking to Cardia. Cardia herself is pretty boring so far. Guy who was singing London Bridge at the start, and the guy with the gun in the preview seem more promising. I also like the steampunk theme. I've heard a lot of praise for this game but wasn't interested enough to play it as I don't own a Vita. The one thing I really fricking hate about this show is the stupid thing with their eyelashes showing lines. It looks bad and is not necessary. |
 |
| It was interesting. I will watch more. The main guys have kinda unfitting voices, Maeno is too deep for Lupin while Kakki is too tenor for Fran. |

Have you played the game already? If you haven't, you should. She's totally above all MC from the otome game genre and even above many heroines in other types of genre. Anyway, I'm just surprised at the spoiler above out in the open like that. That really need to put that in a spoiler tag... But yes, the fact that she's voiced by Hayami just made it even better... |
| Speaking of visuals and animation, the show looks good, though since its source material is an otome by Idea Factory that's not really a surprise. What the next episodes would show is whether or not the plot and the characters stand up to test. Lupin seems fine enough, though I hope he and the other reverse harem characters don't end up too similar to the rest of Idea Factory's male leads in other games. That company has a notoriety for recycling again and again not just character art/CGs and designs, but character tropes as well. |

soraibi said: This was quite a good first episode. It states a motive, or at least hints at it. Lupin and the gang want to protect Cardia from the British empire and other evil people. There's a gang called Twighlight after Cardia's powers. Cardia wants to know who her father is and what he does etc. Agreed, and I share your concerns about Cardia. She was such an amazing character in the game. There was so much in the game, that I expect things to be greatly cut down for time purposes... ...but I hope it's not done at the expense of her character and overall plot. It's been awhile since I finished the game, so I'm hoping that helps me be a little less biased while watching this. So far, so good I think. Really, I'm just happy to see my favorite characters animated. |
 |
| The characterization seems decent enough, so I'll keep watching... but somebody needs to rip that STUPID tiny top hat off of that dog before I pull my hair out. IT LOOKS SO DUMB. |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| 13 minutes in and the protagonist begins to undress, best reverse harem ever!!!11!!1! On a more serious note, this seems decent enough, and Lupin is quite the nice main hero. Cardia is also very cute. |
 |
| Not a shabby start. Took interest in this because I kept seeing the games at the store and was fascinated by the cover art. It's amusing how Cardia keeps throwing the guys off balance with airheaded innocence. |
