Anime Rule of 3’s

Anime Rule of 3’s Every season there are reoccurring themes in the current airing anime as if the presidents of the different production companies got together and drew lots out of a hat and were competing to see who could make the better anime based off of the themes written on it. It can be the overall theme. Same thing happens in 3 anime’s first episodes. The protagonist all say the same line or comment on the same thing. Etc. Etc. What lot do you think they drew from the hat? List the commonality and the three anime that you see it in. Rules: - Has to happen in at least 3 anime. - Has to be in the same season.

Examples: Summer 2016 - Theme “redoing the past” - (Orange, ReLife, Re:Zero) Fall 2022 - there were 3 anime where ogres tried to sexually assault the protagonist. (Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time, I've Somehow Gotten Stronger When I Improved My Farm-Related Skills, Immoral Guide) Fall 2022 - Theme “Heroine is courted by royalty” (Bibliophile Princess, I'm the Villainess So I'm Taming the Final Boss, Raven of the Inner Palace) Summer 2025 - Theme “Assassins” (The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses, Sakamoto Days, Hotel Inhuman)
