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…

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…

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…

it made me bash my head into my pillow quite a few times but it wasn't complete garbage
yuuki is a non-existent protagonist so as long as you sit trough everything regarding him you'll be fine, sadly that does mean the first 2 episodes are super hard to get through, all the rest just feels like a ten times less interesting konosuba, that is oddly very focussed on food which I guess is a fine theme.
it does have its funny moments but I often find myself questioning if I was supposed to laugh at whatever is going on, here and there it lands though.
Karyl is the only character I would consider a
"good" character, pretty much all the rest are just fine.

When I set this up to plan to watch I honestly didn't expect too much, if you've seen my MAL I do give off a lot of 10s and 9s and it's probably because I just love anime and everything about it so most anime I watch is amazing for me but if I could give this a higher score rating I would. When I first started off the series I was confused and lost as I, admittedly, did not play the game or read up about it. Basically, I came here watching it completely fresh to everything other than my knowledge that it was an isekai and it looked promising. First thing off the bat, the sound, animation, and music are amazing and I just couldn't help but bop to the beat and awe at the animations. The characters seemed quirky and adorable, and I mean almost all the characters, not just the mains. At first,…

UPDATE: I have finished the show. The plot doesn't make any sense- I don't feel as if there is a plot at all. I stand by my word. It's not a good show but I guess you'd find this interesting if you played the game.
Why do people like this. What's wrong with the world?
It really doesn't deserve the "high" score. It's just a Chinese knockoff Konosuba but the main cast is dumbed down where their average mental age is 4.
Story:
Nothing is ever explained. It's probably just a generic isekai but there is a horrible lack of development. The plot is nonexistent. They don't even have the overdone "truck-kun" scenes. At least that would give some sort of narrative. Again, nothing is ever explained. Who is that initial girl? I don't know. Why are the characters there? I don't know. There is n…

I am someone who played the mobile game of Princess Connect! Re:Dive ever since it was released back in 2018 and I absolutely had a blast going through its magnificent storyline and set of characters. So when I first saw the anime adaptation getting announced, I was pretty excited to see it and it delivered pretty well.
First off, the story. The anime's story (season 1) is entirely different from the game and it's a good thing. People who played the game and those who can understand what's going on are the ones who would most likely appreciate it but it can also be appreciated by those who are still getting on to the series, especially if they give it a chance and time. The story revolves around Yuuki and his guild, Bishokuden and we see how they go about their daily lives as the anime in…

In my opinion, cliché isn't always bad, which this anime has a lot of, but well-executed. The first couple episodes are a bit too silly for my taste, but don't give up on it yet, it gradually gets better. To me it counts as a fun chill anime, makes many good jokes (many plain ones too, but nothing cringy), the little fights it has aren't cheap. Visually this anime is ridiculously good imo, especially the first episode, but each and every of them are well-animated throughout, no recycled / still-standing pictures, no foul draws, it's just flawless, while keeping the usual anime-style ofc, which I find important. My reason for writing this review is because I think it's way underrated with its 7.1 MAL score. I can tell a lot of effort was put into this anime and it paid off pretty well. Even…

what a fucking horse manure pile, i guess we were the fucking gourmet guild all along judging by all the shit we just ate.
hey kids do you like artstyles? its fucking variety hour over at cygames pictures, we've got them in the double digits. and i dont mean in total, i mean per shot. wouldn't want any amorphous fucking blobs that actually watch this shit to get bored, so we'll be switching entire art directions every few minutes. this is of course when we decide to actually have animation, a decision quickly proven disastrous for the common good when we outsource the knights from overlord or the cgi effects from 80s arcade shooters. abe knows we cant have cgi tits but cgi spoons are our fucking hill to die on.
okay now that we've got the visual directions done lets get down to characte…

Two anime genres tend to be targets for complete dumpster trash: isekai and gacha game adaptations. However, Princess Connect Re:Dive manages to pull off both very well.
One of the biggest sticking points for this anime has to be its plot, which is VERY slow-paced. Most episodes are told in an episodic manner and we really don't get much plot until episode 10. Further, it focuses a lot more on slice-of-life than most other isekai anime do. While I wish the anime progressed the plot more in the slot it got, and we really need a season 2 to see just how good the plot's going to be, I still very much enjoyed seeing the group dicking around and eating food, not to mention meeting the colorful supporting cast.
I can see why Yuuki is a very polarizing character. He makes Aqua look useful as he…

I've seen a lot of Isekais. I love fantasy, magic and swords. So obviously I had to watch Princess Connect. It even has a high score in MAL.
I don't understand how this sh*t has a better score than the average isekais. It's the worst and there is why:
Story 1/10: Alright, so there is none. it's a comedy show. It should be but it's not funny. It might be fun for 8-14 years old kids to be fair. Konosuba is hilarious, Gintama too. But this, the level of the jokes is so low, it feels cringe. How to stop a cute dangerous enemy that everyone in the group think it's a cute and kind ally ? One of the character will resolve this issue by eating it. The design of the monsters are made to make people laugh because they look retarded, like tongue out, big eyes one rlooking at the opposite at the oth…

As a person who've never played Princess Connect! Re:Dive. I think that this anime was actually pretty good.
All in all, it feels just like a CGDCT fantasy where characters simply go around, do quests, eat and have fun. I've seen a lot of reviews saying that they hate the male protagonist but I don't see anything wrong with it. For me, he resembles a player. He gives off the aura of a low level player who simply boosts his princesses ( works like FGO Master enhancing their servants ) hence his presence was not even necessary. He's just there for the sake of it. To make the show more comical, perhaps relatable(?) and more entertaining. It's also not even a harem so if you're overly offended about a male being in a group of girls then don't worry.
Very good. I enjoyed this a lot. I'm eve…

It just tries to be something like Konosuba, but with a 0 relevance storyline and 0 interesting character development, it turns just irrelevant at the middle of the serie, they expected to have a funny main character with a low expresive reactions or idk, it just turns boring and even more boring episode to episode, i dont even know how the fuck this have 7 points on the ranking... This anime its just good to see for his good animation style, but not enough to be a 7,maybe not even a 6... i cant just watch it without being bored in the 90% of the time...
Im not used to write a review of any anime, usually i just enjoy them or drop them without any worry, but this case has been made me a little bit annoyed.
maybe i just seach for something different.
the point of the review is that i feel…

Princess Connect! Re:Dive (2020)
For a show again based off a game it really stayed true and conformed to its base.
One thing that may confuse people is why the groups are so abundant and that is based on the game having a 5 member party limit generally. This is why it is understandable that guilds are so small. Some do affiliate to expand, however.
The show itself is pretty damn good overall and brings a nice story and a great finale. It is also an absolute dream world, what could be better than such a world full of so many girls and for the most part, they are all cute beyond belief. What an abundance.
For this moment I will just say for me Eriko the fiend girl is my absolute waifu of the show. Let me have her for real.
The story is let down until you understand the situation by…

Do you like Konosuba? Of course you do, after all everyone had fun looking at the Kazuma troop. If so, Priconne is perfect for you! Welcome to the latest work by Konosuba director Takaomi Kanasaki!
STORY:
Have you ever lost your memory and can't remember anything? (Hangovers don't count here...) This is exactly what happened to our main character Yuuki, the poor boy can't remember anything. A super nice guy, but surely not the most clever one's and his actions are sometimes socially...you could call it "unacceptable". With the help of his "servant" Kokkoro, who always speaks to him very politely even in the "master-form", he finds his way back to the normal everyday life slowly but surely. Together they meet new friends (Pecorine and Karyl) and found the guild with the best name "Gourmet…

As a once avid player of the game, I was initially disillusioned when I heard that an anime adaptation was announced. The mobage itself employs the use of animated cutscenes frequently and is advertised heavily as being so. With the game being incredibly long as it is with a tedious and ultimately boring storyline to boot, I was expecting the worst when it came to this.
Thankfully, the show adapts nearly nothing from the actual mobage. With the director of Konosuba at its helm, Priconne is honestly more of a spiritual successor of sorts to Konosuba, albeit less focused overall. The show is practically anime original with only the characters and some vague character traits lifted from the original source material. Even the isekai aspect goes entirely unmentioned throughout the duration of…

From beginning to end, Priconne is a really fun time. I like to think of it as a Great Value Konosuba. While it never reached the heights that Konosuba did, you could definitely see the inspiration in its art, comedy and direction. In fact, the series director from Konosuba worked on the series as well. To save time, if you liked Konosuba, you’ll like this.
Coming into the series, I had never heard of or played the game. The show did a decent enough job of setting the stage for the game’s world and story. It’s definitely another one of those anime trying to get you to play the game type deals, but it works. After the first episode, I downloaded the game and have been hooked ever since.
Plot wise, you’ve got your rather generic fantasy/isekai world with your standard adventurers guild and…

I’ll be honest here. I don’t like mobile game adaptations. From the top of my head, there hasn’t been a many mobile game adaptation in recent years that I rated more than 5 or above. The reason being is that most of them are bankrupt on the creative side. They seem like projects aimed to make a quick buck. Princess Connect! Re:Dive tells a different story. This particular cute little gem is a mobile adaptation that I’ve grown fondly to actually say it’s enjoyable.
Right off the bat, I noticed that we have Takomi Kansaki helming the show as the producer. He was previously involved with the popular Konosuba franchise. So in other words, do be prepared for eccentric humor. It depends on how much you’ll approach this show’s humor but to say the least, it has an immense amount of charisma. Wit…

Oh well, finally a GOOD game adaptation, made by the one and only Takaomi Kanasaki of KonoSuba fame. If there's anything good about this now-famous mangaka, is that he can turn anything into a KonoSuba-like world, and Princess Connect Re:Dive, based on Cygames's repertoire of mobile games that are always a wholesome time to get invested into.
To tell of a trivia on how this anime adaptation went through (if I remembered it somewhere in my memories): There was a time last year when the master comedy director himself wanted a KonoSuba-ish stylized fantasy world, whilst adding all the bells and whistles of what was left out of KonoSuba into a new entity (after finishing the work for the anime and movie), and the opportunity presented itself when Cygames offered to make anime adaptation of th…

"How to absolutely abuse your animation budget" is what I thought while watching Princess Connect Re:Dive.
This anime is based from a mobile game with similar name. I haven’t played the game and look at this as an anime only. This may look a bit like Konosuba and that is right, because it is the same director. Don’t expect deep plot reveals or character development as this anime has more the purpose of comedy and luring people into the game. This is my full review. TL:DR at the end.
*** most light spoilers come from the first 2 episodes ***
---- EYE CANDY ----
What makes me mad is the quality of the animation. This insane highly detailed anime has quality animation that most modern anime could use. I’m mad because the story telling or plot is so bad and nonexistent that I feel that the a…
