From the very first episode, I felt like I was watching Konosuba: lighthearted humor, funny adventures, and engaging side characters. The story isn't particularly unique, but that doesn't matter—each episode is a new, entertaining adventure.
The animation and art style are beautiful and perfectly match the cheerful tone. The characters all have their own personalities, strengths, and weaknesses, and their reactions make sense within the series' world.
If you enjoy Konosuba or other lighthearted isekai, this is a must-see. It's cheerful, relaxing, and fun to watch, without the over-the-top fan service.
They go on adventures, but will also have stories just within their original town. Which makes it not have that repetitive feeling

Well as far as game adaptations this one's easily the best (maybe except some H-game adaptations but those are a story for another time).
The animation is it's best point by far, and that's unusual for adaptations of this kind. If i had one nitpick is that one scene with the knights at the gate... 1 random CGI , they probably ran out of time . The story is not bad..... It's a comedy in the same style like Konosuba,but it has some serious moments,unlike the former. And the plot's decent, as far as what's probably a gacha game that is. Of course when you'd compare it to others like FGO who also has adaptations...yeah, that's all imma say.
There's honestly not much to complain about and not much to praise in particular either. It could have been worse it could've been better as well. As far…

I think I have a somewhat bias as I played Princess Connect! Re:Dive and was looking forward to this adaption. However I am pretty neutral to this, as the first season is 95% slice of life with no direction in a generic fantasy world. It does not tell you much of anything of who our main character is or what's happening, and that's further reinforced by him being a mute for essentially the whole season. Episode after episode is simply trying to introduce the plethora of characters due to this being from a gacha game. While the anime suffers tremendously from giving you any depth of characters or plot, it does have a great soundtrack and animation, mostly due to some staff being the same from Konosuba (yes this is partially why it took so long for Season 3 to release). However, those two fa…

This show is missing the CGDCT tag, basically all it is. I enjoy my fair share of CGDCT but that aspect isn't even well done. The gourmet tag is false, I'd say. For being a show that is supposedly about a group of people cooking, eating and enjoying food, very little time is spent actually exploring the culinary side of things. It amounts to, in every episode with nearly no exception, "someone's stomach growls, food is eaten (may or may not have needed to acquire some random ingredient) it's delicious, the end." That basic plotline is heavily watered down with a lot of slice of life fluff, which again, I enjoy my fair share of, and again, isn't well done. So despite supposedly being the centerpiece of the plot, the food element feels extremely tacked on. Episode 13 was great. Wish the whol…

First of all why the mc is so ussles like cmon Man. Are you the mc or side kick I can't tell the different like bro being usefull at the last episode. but the animation direction, and the sound desigh is so good I never seen type of sound use in anime. And the world buldingI i wonder who build castle in the shape of star, like what is the point its wastefull why not shape like a circle and why so many caracther is op kike where is the balance. like what is the point of the wall if the caracther is op and why all women is so strong. But I give it point for the smooth animation and fan service. And the gam suck ass

Actually, I've wanted to write about this anime for a long time in a review forum, but because I haven't watched the second season so I postponed it. but now I want to express my opinion about this anime (even though until now I haven't watched the second season because of several reasons).
This anime, princess connect : re:dive, in my opinion is one of the underrated anime. with various effects that are pleasing to the eye, very smooth animation quality, as well as iconic opening music. What's more, I think the storyline that is delivered is 'balanced', on the one hand, they show a relaxed daily life anime, full of laughter and funny incidents which always manages to make me think 'They are all really very close friends. familiar', perhaps likening it to the same feeling as watching Kono…

I forced myself to sit through the complete season. I had to do it in bursts, otherwise there was a chance that my small intestine would crawl up through my stomach to strangle me in order to put myself out of my misery.
Okay: First the positives.
The animation isn't horrible. It's not great, but it's "acceptable". The voice acting is actually on point, and the theme music is okay.
Okay the negatives:
Literally EVERYTHING else. The backstory is alluded to but rarely explained, (except the OBVIOUS bits, (I mean she's wearing a CROWN for hells sake)) the characters are flat and 2 dimensional. The writing is ALMOST up to a grade-school level. With a little tweaking it might actually get a C- in a 3rd grade assignment. The pacing is just as bad. Random characters are introduced at points w…

I was surprised to find this show as delightful as I did. The characters are adorable, the food in the show looks incredible, it's just a nice feel good show. Although the plot is kind of thin, the show makes up for it in enjoyable characters and giving the audience the ability to have fun with these characters rather than needing them to save the world. There are some comparisons to Konosuba, but I honestly don't think it really compares because I found the characters in this show a lot more likable and the humor much funnier than the slapstick and fanservice comedy of Konosuba, but that's just personal taste. I would probably compare it more to something like Little Witch Academia which focuses on the smaller things that make up the lives of characters in the fantasy world. I know this p…

Princess Connect!
This is probably the first and last time in my life that I have watched such a high-quality game adaptation.
This anime can be compared to a slightly weaker version of Genshin Impact and KonoSuba in terms of atmosphere. We have several individual crazy personalities, bizarre and wacky character humor, amusing running gags, and several very appealing character relationships that add to the creaminess of it all.
I didn't know the game before and only glanced at it afterward to see how similar the game and anime were. The concept is the same, but the anime is a bit different, which doesn't affect the quality in any way. One thing I have to say is that I love that they actually used the main song from the game again as the intro song for both seasons to create an even str…

*short review*
Princess Connect stands as a straightforward example as to why you need an actual story and well written characters, as opposed to painfully one-dimension caricatures, in order for a work of fiction to be enjoyable by those of us who pay attention to the quality of a shows writing praxis.
This anime has a lot of qualities you would expect from a good show. Well done art, decent animation, OK jokes from time to time, a nice easygoing fantasy setting. But the story is horribly predictable, filled with cringe cliches we have seen done better hundreds of times. And yet even that could be forgiven if the character cast had any personality. They don't. Princess connect has some of the most stale characters I have seen in an anime for a long time. There really is no way to empha…

*so spoilers*
This one is pretty easy to sum up in just a handful of words... Basically, its what happens when you invest an INSANE production value into something with next to no potential.
First of all, what IS princess connect? Well, apparently some kind of game? Maybe gachcha game or something? Idk. And there's a lot of characters. Idk if you collect them or whatever, but anime wise, it translates to a whole bunch of characters being there, some getting very little screen time as a result.
This also affects the story because it makes it feel very badly structured and the motivations and logic can be quite vague and not the best. The story overall? Pretty lackluster, more of a fantasy slice of life really. Entertainment value? Decent, but nothing special, its like a watered down vers…

Don't be fooled by people saying this is like KonoSuba. The only similarity is the art style. Princess Connect! Re:Dive doesn't have an ounce of the well written humor, story, characters, and pacing of KonoSuba. The only reason I watched this was because so many people were comparing it to Konosuba. Don't make the same mistake I made. Princess Connect! Re:Dive is a very ordinary fantasy anime. It's nothing special and doesn't say anything new. It's a listless show, Princess Connect doesn't know what wants to be and its frustrating to watch. If your honestly interested in the show give it a 3 episode watch rule, and if it isn't hitting you then its not going to hit anytime soon.

I wanted to love this show. It is right up my alley. I love all kinds of isekai harem shows and this one started out fun and interesting with a fun premise....at first. I'll try not to spoil anything but The MC lost his memory.....which apparently makes him mentally handicapped. By episode 10 he gets in the water, says "salty" and starts playing around in it like a kid, and that's the only thge he realy says in the entire episode. Later in the episode a repeatedly squeezes a sea cucumber till it spits it's guts out and has no reaction to it. They legit made him someone who is mentally handicapped and not just someone who lost his memory. He never says a full sentence EVER. The most you get out of him are grunts, thumbs up, and stupid single words like "salty" As if he was a baby. It is bey…

One of the masterpieces after konosuba. When I first watched it I didn't know that this was an adaptation of the game. And usually adaptations of games are bad, but this one is an exception. They really managed to make the game into an anime that is really worth watching.
From the overall story, I think it's good, because it shows a complete story but can be presented casually as a slice of life. And one thing I really like is how they turn a few trivia into a really fun comedy. Just like Konosuba and I'm so grateful to be able to get a story like that again.
In terms of art, this anime is very similar to Konosuba, from the characters, buildings, scenery, and magic. And the same advantage as konosuba is that they can show a lot of behavior and cuteness of the character very well. They su…

Princess Connect is a very mediocre adaptation of the homonym mobile game... it's mediocre because:
1)Doesn't really make me want to play the original game
2)Doesn't really engage me in any significant degree
The story is a mess, a confusing, generic, vague mess, you don't really get what's the "Overall plot" and most episodes are more similar to a "Slice of life" style anime with no real plot or continuity - and this is the problem - the anime lacks of an identity - is it a story-driven action fantasy or it's a slice of life with cute girls doing stuff? it seems like it tries to do both, and fails equally at both.
There are a lots of side characters that are clearly from the game as, despite being just secondary characters, they're clearly well designed... problem is, design aside, no…

I'm just writing this review to say that this show is better than the other reviews and ratings would have you believe. Sure, in the beginning it starts off as a typical isekai type anime harem thing, but it's not actually a harem because they're all just friends and the main character has brain trauma. Everyone seems to think that's a bad thing, too, but I think the way he emotes with his body instead of his words actually adds to his charm! The animation is actually really impressive too, way better than your typical cash grab isekai anime. It seems like the animators actually put passion into making this project. The ending also answers enough questions to leave me satisfied but leaves more than enough to make me look forward to season 2. This is not to say that this anime is the best e…

Not gonna lie, this anime is very relaxing. This is the type of anime that is best watched during a rainy night. Few people might not like it and tell it's boring, but if you are looking for an anime that is easy to watch and just want to take their time off of the intense animes or you just want to watch anime waifus then this might be worth giving a shot.
Story: 7
Yuuki falls from the sky unconscious with no memories other than his name. When I say "no memories" I mean it. He doesn't remember how to speak, nor does he know how the world works. Because of this, Kokkoro, an elf girl, is tasked to be his guide. Together, they meet Pecorine who is an energetic human girl. She seems to be always hungry, but she is skilled at fighting. And on the next day, the thr…

Didn't know what I was getting into at first but after watching the 2 episodes we have I think it has some promise. The show is far from groundbreaking with its story so far and the ideas in it but that's fine. The art is well done and pleasing to watch and the characters have chemistry with one another. It has some Konosuba vibes to it but it's still doing its own thing with characters that are more wholesome.
It is a lighthearted show that does what it wants to do pretty good, so if you're looking for something to kill time and make you feel good then try this out.
Mobile game is also definitely worth playing. If anyone needs team comp advice for the global game, I use this site.

Princess Connect Re: Dive is a delightful time. It’s happy, full of adorable creatures, delicious food, and light-hearted adventures. It’s not trying to be profound, it’s about enjoying the moment. It brings you along to enjoy daily wild life with the Gourmet Guild. As someone who’s always stressed and doesn’t want shows adding to my stress, this is exactly the kind of thing I look for. And it was fun! Also I love food anime/manga, and food is a core element of Princess Connect.
Neither the story nor the characters are complex, but they’re lively and always doing interesting or funny shenanigans on screen. Its source material is actually an app game, but it’s not a cash grab. The anime is quality and its own thing, and it’s getting a well-deserved second season.

I don't do reviews very often, but man this deserves one. It's like Konosuba but with a touching story and the MC is extremely quiet. I'm not sure why, but people complain about his quietness, so that quirk may not be to your liking? But for me I'm into it. He doesn't play a huge role and it lets the other characters get quite the development. Karyl's character development was the only one I was a bit iffy on but I've come to kinda understand her situation. However every other character in the show you'll love.
The art style is insanely good, like it's serious eye candy. The animation is fluid as heck and there's never a frame that didn't get full attention to detail. It's the studio's style and I see they've come to perfect it.
The reviews on this site don't do it justice. They'll giv…
