This second season arrived improved from the first . All around the board that is.
The fighting animation especially looked really good. If there's a complaint ... alot of the newly introduced characters aren't really used enough . Other then that i can't find anything to complain about . In particulary on the story side. You'd expect these sorta game adaptations to leave you with alot of the mystery just to entice you into playing the actual game, a sort of bait and switch situation. But not in this one. It wasn't ALL explained sure, but it was more then enough for a satisfying end to the anime.
Same as the first season, i recommended this one. It's a very well made game adaptations that isn't just fluff to promote . It was clearly made with care and alot of work went into it. I recomme…

A bit more entertaining than the first season, with the story now having an overall meaning with twists and turns that felt appropriate and well executed. Questions answered and relationships are furthered slightly but not by much. Action is much more entertaining and for the uninitiated people who didn't know what to expect of the story were in for a treat. The music and animation continue to be a highlight into this second season and even reference some of the pivotal moments from the game with similar sounding music. That being said, Princess Connect is still suffering from the fact that it didn't have much to build on in the first place. What it does achieve, is good, but it's weighed down by the fact that the story and characters are still at best, surface level. Princess Connect coul…

Princess Connect's 25 episodes literally took me 6 months to finish, but I have to admit that this is one of, if not the best mobile game adaption I've seen. At the end of the series, the animation got enhanced and was more fluid. As I was laughing, sobbing, and going through many different emotions while watching the show, I felt like I was a part of the Gourmet Guild myself. Because Karyl is so adorable in this series, I became really attached to her. wwwww. Definitely a must watch
The show did a wonderful job of balancing the more serious topics in the show with the daily activities of the Gourmet Guild in search of the best cuisine. Many new characters were introduced in the show, and many of them are very intriguing in their own right. Additionally, I adored the animation style becau…

I will now present my thesis on why Kyaru is best girl (slight spoilers).
Have you ever tried to pick up a stray cat before? They will claw your face out and leave you bleeding on the side of the road. However, when given a proper home, affection and attention, a stray cat can undergo a glorious transformation and become a cute cat who loves belly rubs and headpats. They will never leave your side, constantly purring and wanting to return the same affection and attention that you show them.
Kyaru just needs a good company. The gourmet guild is a perfect environment for her to grow and thrive. Look at how her character developed when she had a taste of what it's like to have a decent family with Peco, Kokkoro and Yuuki.
Look at how sad she looks every time she reminds herself of her 'mis…

Princess Connect! Re:Dive filled a hole that I had forgot needed filled. As this show went along, it gave me some vibes that reminded me of Sekirei. The problem with Sekirei was that it never got a final season whereas Priconne did. So, I finally got a little bit of closure there.
Now, let's talk about Priconne. It was a great anime. I really liked the characters and they all had flaws but very redeeming qualities as well. The main character was super generic but I understand that they wouldn't want to give the protag too much character as they want the people who watch to insert their own character to him. I wish they would have done like the game and went over individual character stories for the story, but I understand that they may not have wanted to spoil game content by showcasing…

Princess Connect! Re: Drive Second Season
The first season impressed me with its gentle and amusing nature. This is exactly how I want to see a slice-of-life comedy. And the second season did not disappoint me. In fact, the animations have gotten EVEN better and more dynamic. The humor and characters remained the same and in general, this was a very enjoyable experience.... well at least until episode 7. Then everything went downhill.
The animations became almost average, the pacing died and there was no atmosphere at all. It was a rushed final battle with no real build-up nor climax. These last 3 episodes have actually been so boring and sluggish, that I felt the need to skip them. And this in an anime where I rewound several times and watched some scenes twice because they either mad…

After Season 1 we are left with various questions in our minds questions such as will Yuuki regain his memories, who are the 7 crowns, who is the beast sitting on the throne, would Pecorine get back her throne, why is this world a lie etc.. However, its kind of disappointing to see that most of the questions havent been answered at all, and even after Season 2 it leave its viewers this questions. I could have better enjoy and engage emotionally at the last fighting scene and saving mana scene if only they would answer at least some questions that is weighing on us since Season 1, for example why is this world a lie and is this world just a made up fake world etc...
Its not as enjoyable as I imagine, I just could not click with the anime, I love their story, I love their character design,…

There is one word to describe this season and that's "forgettable". Things happen during most of the course of this season but I cant seem to remember most of it. Very little is revealed in this season that hasn't been revealed in the first. I find it to be a show that is neither pleasant nor offensive to watch. Not only that I heard nearly no one talking about this show the 3 months it was airing which is a shame.
Majority of the characters introduced its like they picked their features out of a hat and put no thought process into it whatsoever. Then again I suppose that's to be expected when your source material is a literal gacha game.
While season 2 of Priconne graces your eyes in the initial episodes with amazing animation its a novelty that quickly wears off. Sure you get "plot d…

If you liked Princonne season 1, you will absolutely love this season. The way they animated this season and created intense hype up for the finale was outstanding. I was left speechless and full of emotion by the end of this season and I believe this will stay with me for a quite a while.
The story was just absolutely perfect. Each episode not only had an immense amount of comedy but also brought out drama and action. The way that they built up each episode for the finale kept me glued to my screen and wanting more and more every week. The art definitely has been bumped up since season 1 and has such colourful and impactful scenes. The art during actions scenes make you feel empowered and a part of this anime. The art during sentimental and just slice-of-life scenes make you truly feel t…

At first, I decided to watch this anime because of the posters from the first season that caught my attention. I watched the first season after it was released. I didn´t have idea about what it was about and who made it. Some gestures seemed very familiar to me so I checked that it was done by the same team who did Konosuba,I was so surprised!! But I enjoyed this anime way more than Konosuba. This anime has everything: emotions, mystery, good character´s development, funny jokes (fanservice very little, specially compared to Konosuba, here the comedy is on point).
I really love the way the story goes: the climax of the episodes, the pace of them, the music and the art. Everything is in the perfect place and some episodes were really emotional.
Without spoiling, Pecorine is a girl who does…

Story 9/10
First of all, let's start with the story, the story presented in this anime is arguably very good. It tells the story of Pecorine's struggle to reclaim his kingdom, along with his friends. In each episode, we can feel the various emotions conveyed by each character. happiness, sadness, anger, etc.
Art 8/10
for the art and animation in this anime, well, it's pretty nice. especially the animation that is presented during the scene against the shadow golems. The movement is very flexible and not stiff, it's very pleasing to the eye.
Sound 9/10
the songs on this show are great. bgm/ost in this anime is a supporting factor to convey emotions to the audience, such as in the episode where pecorine and kokkoro cry.
like ... mannn ... the song fits the scene very well, the sad atmosphe…

(2nd review don't expect much)
We're back with the Gourment Guild, what's not to love about it?
This project by CygamesPictures is incredible. The art is just so consistent every time a new episode came weekly. Like at first, I was just happy it was back. But then we got to episode 4 absolutely beautiful animation, I don't even know how I didn't notice before.
Story: 9/10
The story takes place over the adventures of the game, though the game reveals more about the event taking place. The anime hints at these events making you want to wait for more if you haven't played the game. Of course, it won't ruin your watch.
Art: 10/10
The art is spectacular, frame-by-frame perfection of sparkly and bubbly characters and fights. "Sometimes" though, the animation is inconsistent and isn't fully f…

I will try to divide this review into two parts. The first part being pretty much spoiler free in terms of specific details and events (though it is impossible to talk about the plot without including some general information), and a second part which is basically just a spoiler filled place for me to talk about problems I have, that may be useful or interesting to people actually invested in the game.
--- non-spoilery review ---
This is a show based on a game by the same name.
In the game, there is a point where the plot could possibly diverge. During a climactic, sort of final battle, the protagonist gets injured and is given a choice to go back and fight, or to give up, and "reset" the world. Resetting the world means going back to the beginning, and giving up on all his bonds. Or in…

Princess Connect! Re:Dive Season 2 (2022)
First off, bite me, this is the best show of the season.
Continuing from the first fantastic season the show only went and got even better. More crisp and tasty in all aspects. A story that is great fun to watch with emotional ups and downs and even when everyone comes together which sometimes can be a bit rubbish this time round feels perfect.
The art is the same style as before and a credit to the studio as it is that bit crisper. It looks amazing and I love it. The combat looks super too and really amazing to see.
The sound comes with banging music, OST, combat and voices. Even that nice silence before something crazy.
The characters develop like no tomorrow and you get to see old favourites. For me, Eriko is fantastic and still the sam…

No. Just...no.
Let me preface my review by letting you know that I really like PriConne. But this is just not it.
- The story is dreadfully boring and generic. That's not something new, but without the Gacha shenanigans muddying it up, it just sticks out so much more.
- The overfocus on Pecorine and Karyl. The fact that Kokkoro and co are always buzzing around Yuuki and we basically never see him alone (or with another girl) is annoying.
- Where is the romance? PriConne is all about that. I'm pretty sure the majority of the people that watched this anime played the mobile game. Where are all the bonding scenes? Hell, scenes with just some romance? There ain't none, because we just have to see Pecorine and co 24/7.
- Why is Yuuki sidelined for 90% of the show? Just so that Pecorine…

Game adaptations of japan do not suffer from the same curse as they do in the west xD
Priconne is a great standalone slice of life, but there is no doubt that this still remains a treat aimed at the user base of the original game.
So the anime only may get left out of the loop in many cases,
The anime was more focused on resolving past character conflicts of kyarl and Yuuki in the initial parts a bunch of new characters are also introduced, the slice of life tone shifts in a very good manner there was no instant switch hence it was quite digestible.I will admit it did get quite confusing when the main story arc was spanning out. A lot of wiki and youtube videos later I must say This anime is very well thought out and intertwines with the game rather well! But do keep in mind that there…

After watching this season, I can conclude that the show finally has its happy ending. It was a great 24-episode journey with the Gourmet Guild and the ending is really satisfying. Usually, video-game adaptations in the anime industry could be disappointing; apparently, the show is not following that harsh criticism. From my experience, the anime did not induce confusion, and I appreciate the fun moments most. Believe me when I will mention fun multiple times in this review because I really did.
Story: 9/10
The story takes place after its video game events which should pretty much signify its importance in understanding the contexts in the anime. It requires the audience to be aware of the events prior to the anime, but it is not necessary since the story will be revealing the events thro…

Lemme just put this out now, I really dislike it when silly comedies attempt to introduce or shift gears into drama or a serious plot. A serious show would naturally be subject to more scrutiny in terms of reviewing its core elements compared to if the show were a complete comedy. Very few shows manage to pull this off competently, not even well, just competently, and unfortunately Priconne just isn't one of those shows.
Then again, the upside is that the comedy bits are just really damned good. It's difficult to recommend a comedy without essentially ruining the joke, but everything from the bright exaggerated artstyles, to the brilliant timing of the jokes is executed with a flair that makes it seem so effortless to pull off when it really isn't. If you were to hypothetically isolate al…

An unbelievable project by Cygames to delight us with unparalleled consistency week by week. Tears flowing, laughs fulfilling, emotions conflicting, and fiction peaking. A comfy yet extravagant show that truly deserves recognition.
Sakuga after sakuga. Peak kino cinema. Framing in Princess Connect don't miss, and so does the people behind this work of art. A big applause to the staff and everyone working on this anime project. Treating us with visuals that surpasses boundaries, bringing out every emotion from its soundtracks and direction, and most of all giving care to their own creation.
We can't talk about Priconne without talking about its waifus. A wide range of female cast that at first feels overwhelming to non-gacha fans, yet they still hold that very special place. Each guild wa…

YABAI DESU NE!!!
Princess Connect! Re:Dive a.k.a PriConne is back with a blast, and so too is Cygames with hemorraging sales and marketing from the massively popular mobage RPG that's now expanded to more territories since the anime aired in Spring 2020 to resounding success, being the first-ever (though) underrated premiere-tier game adaptation ever seen in anime.
2 years have passed since then and now that with the game's global release on January 2021, Season 2 has arrived to continue the story where Season 1 left off, and for the most part, it was as enjoyable as the prequel, if slightly worse off by a tidbit. And of course, being the newest fan of PriConne's anime back then before the global release, I have waited for a long while before I got the chance to sink into the actual game…
