Code Realize is quite possibly the most average show I have ever watched. Aside from the ending, which I found fairly unique, the show through and through is average. I liked the gang and the girl, but the MC was very underwhelming. Maybe that is how he is different from other MCs, in that he doesn't fight well he just moves the plot forward magically. Also is interesting to consider that he is "Arsene Lupin" and a "phantom thief" as well as his goal of "stealing your heart". Sound familiar? Persona 5 vibes. Now which came first? Well the source material is also a video game visual novel that I am sure came before Persona 5, but I am not sure which was conceived first. The anime came after Persona 5, and now Persona 5 has an anime...

I remember watched the first episode of that, and tried to convince myself it was more than just female fan-service, even as more and more hot guys were being introduced, and the girl didn't do much more than react in typical viewer insert fashion. 

Then I found out the source material is an otome VN targetted at girls that like bishounens. My friend still makes fun of me for trying it out without bothering to look it up.

I didn't watch it anymore than that...but I remember the animation quality being nice at least. The Persona 5 comparison is pretty funny XD

This week's Tada-kun was surprisingly emotional, that last photo from the dad made my throat tight. Miyano's character seems dumb but is surprisingly selfless towards his friends, seems like he does those characters a lot. But ho! A love rival appears...I suppose we need this red herring or the show would get boring though.

I know it's supposed to be comedy, but the mom in 3D Kanojo might be one of my least favorite anime moms ever (bar actual antagonists anyway). How can you just assume your son is a pedophile based on nothing but hearsay? I'd like to see Inko Midoriya slap this idiot. I'm glad this particular drama is over, even though I'm already leery about adding a new love interest when the MC has a girlfriend. Eh...we'll see if it's handled well...or if that even pans out at all.
