Quick Final Thoughts – Code:Realize

Eh, this was bland. I gave it the three episode try and it didn’t improve things, so I’m dropping it here unless anyone strongly objects.

This show is just painfully boring to look at, and I suspect it’s got something to do with the fact that it’s a visual novel adaptation, because the characters look like sprite rips. They aren’t without detail, in fact they’re not bad looking at all, but only on their own. They skew brown, the environment skews brown, and it just makes it all look dull as hell, and the characters look very flat and expressionless in all situations.

Combine this with a really played-out plot (Oh, my heart didn’t work, so my cruel father replaced it with the Macguffin!) and an incredibly bland female lead, and there’s just not much here to hold anyone’s attention.

5/10, a boring score for a boring show. At least it wasn’t as much of a snoozefest as Konbini Kareshi.
