In the continent of Astraea, a man falls from the sky, possessing no memories other than his name, Yuuki. An elf named Kokkoro finds him, introducing herself as his guide in the world they are about to traverse. With Kokkoro's guidance, Yuuki is able to learn how this world works, from battling monsters to handling currency.
To earn money for their journey, Yuuki and Kokkoro decide to go to a nearby guild association to accept a simple quest. In their expedition, they meet Pecorine, a somewhat gluttonous but charming girl skilled in battle. The next day, they also meet Karyl, a cat girl specializing in magic.
After some time, a bond of friendship and camaraderie forms between them, and the four decide to create a guild of their own. As they continue their adventures, they explore the world, meet new people, and will perhaps uncover the mysteries behind Yuuki's missing memories.

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 withthe 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. With our lovable cast of characters, there’s no shortage for entertainment as we follow Yuuki and his adventures.
However, I will say one thing. Yuuki is the male protagonist but he’s not the one to watch out for, or to invest your time into. Being mostly silent doesn’t help his character nor does it help that he feels like an NPC bot. The real selling point is the character chemistry between the three main female cast – Pecorine, Kokkoro, and Karyl. United under the Gourmet Edifice banner, each of them has their own colorful personalities and it catches on very quickly once you pay close attention. Pecorine is armed with a big appetite and a bubbly personality. She is essentially one of the poster girls and it’s easy to see how friendly she is. A recurring gag in the show also revolves her love for food so prepare to see a lot of cooking at her guild. We are also joined by Kokkoro, a servant who is very loyal to her friends. And while not as energetic as Pecorine, she will draw the audience’s attention with her inner thoughts about herself. Finally, there’s Karyl, the tsundere-like cat girl who seems have her own personal mission to keep an eye on the guild. As the show progresses, her character changes and she begins to trust in her new friends. While the writing here isn’t any dynamic or unique, it does bring her character as someone to appreciate more. Plus, Karyl adds popcorn entertainment to the show whenever others try to befriend her, most noticeably Pecorine.
Naturally, Princess Connect takes place in a fantasy setting with the show’s various gimmicks. I won’t deny that it can be a bit cartoony at times. It’s adapted from a mobile game after all but don’t let that take away your attention. The show is able to take its gimmicks and bring out the most of it. This is accomplished through the different running gags such as Karyl’s entomophobia, Yuuki being a monster magnet, or Kokkoro’s emotive reactions. Every episode, it uses these little bits of comedic moments in addition to the main storytelling. Make no mistake though. Princess Connect doesn’t have a very serious plot. Sometimes the plot focuses on the adventures while other times can feel like a relaxing slice of life. What’s more fun is how our characters takes their adventures and enjoying the most from it. This isn’t about a group of adventurers trying to save the world or in fact, they don’t really have an endgame goal at all. This show is ambiguous in its main purpose so don’t think too hard into it. Most of the supporting characters also serve some purpose but ultimately, Princess Connect sells itself as a comedy adventure, not some dramatic high fantasy.
It did became clear to me this series wants to have fun with the cast as much as possible. Remember, it’s directed by Takomi Kansaki so some character personalities in this anime will feel similar to Konosuba. Pecorine for instance has a dumb mentality comparable to Aqua. What makes their characters entertaining really lies in their emotive reactions. Perhaps Karyl is the biggest face to watch whenever she interacts with the main cast or her fear of bugs. Pecorine and Kokkoro also has their own moments due to their personalities. As a mobile game adaptation, the overall art style actually looks polished. From the sunny beaches to the gourmet guild itself, everything looks convincing like it’s in a fantasy world. Even the food has its own unique style that’s made as eye catchy as possible. The weakest link would be Yuuki, our main protagonist. He’s the epitome of ordinary in Princess Connect.
I decided to watch Princess Connect:Re Dive for one purpose but got exactly that: a simple, fun adventure about a group of goofballs. There’s no complex plot and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out our characters’ personalities. In fact, I do wish more fantasy adventures would be simple as this show. Now are you ready to go on an adventure with Gourmet Edifice?

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 findshis 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 Edifice", where even Gordon Ramsay would be jealous. Their main activities are finding new gourmet food, a dream of many of us that will come true for them. Besides that, they protect the people in the city from all kinds of danger. They really care about them. On their quest tour they also have to survive the one or the other dangerous adventures. Although there isn't anywhere a big EXPLOSION, the quests can be really hard sometimes and they have to take care. But luckily their discovered food stays intact even after the fights.
CHARACTER:
Each of the characters has their own charm, which is presented beautifully. They are all completely different, but still have a perfect harmony with each other. The close friendship between them can be clearly felt, they have fun and understand each other very well. Everyone of them has a different background story but in the end they still found each other. The troop really belongs together as one unit.
Our main character may not be the smartest at the beginning, but he is very friendly and helpful. No matter if he has the skills to do it, he always tries to save his friends.
His loyal companion and servant Kokkoro always keeps a cool head, she has a very calm and pleasant voice and even when the troops get into trouble, she stays calm and show her fear and apprehension only with her famous OxO expression.
What would life be without good food? Then you would have no strength to do anything. Our always happy Princess Pecorine, who is also a great cook, has this attitude. She is always optimistic and in a good mood, she wants to make new friends and is able to cope even with dark-looking characters. Besides getting along with everyone, she is also a strong fighter and willing to do anything to protect the weaker.
Last but not least, we must not forget the fourth Yuuki-Party member: Our Tsundere Neko Karyl, who has also a few hidden secrets. Nevertheless, it can be said that she feels very comfortable in the group, even if she questions one or the other action of the group.
In addition to these main characters, we also experience many other members from other guilds. They are also very nice and friendly. They help each other and have fun together.
ART:
I have to refer to Konosuba again. At first sight, it immediately gives you that feeling. The beautiful landscape, the really cute characters, all animations are nice to look at. It is a festival of colors, many bright colors are used, which create a very pleasant feeling. The colorful and beautiful nature as it should be is presented here for us!
SOUND:
Although the music and lyrics do not highlight any special things, it is simply fun to listen to. The OP gives you the feeling that an adventure is coming, get prepared for it. Meanwhile, the ED music fits perfectly for resting after a hard long day. Get yourself an after work beer and make yourself comfy. You probably know the ED song of the first season of Konosuba "Chiisana Boukensha", if you enjoyed this relaxed music, you will definitely love this one as well.
ENJOYMENT:
I had a lot of fun watching Konosuba back then, so Princonne got directly my attention. There are so many parallels, you can see the similarities between those two. Just sit back, relax and watch our gourmet troop. Although I am not a big fan of action stuff, I even enjoyed the fight scenes here. The main part is comedy of course and this was very well brought over. Although I have no idea about the game itself, it was a lot of fun for me watching it.
In the end I recommend this anime to everyone. Just have fun and enjoy it!

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 inthe 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 other etc. It's very poor written.
Art 7/10:
Well it's beautiful, kawaii, full of color. As i said, the monsters looks dumb it really doesnt feel real like in Goblin Slayer or Hai to Gensou no Grimgar. So they don't look dangerous but weak.
Sound 5/10:
It's not really noticeable, it's ok.
Character 2/10:
The MC is the worst character ever written. He can't talk like a normal human being. He's useless. He's just OP because he has to since it's the MC. When I say he's OP, he doesnt even know. It's like very cliché. If his friends are in danger, he'll have the power to protect them. If they are not, he's weak. It's supposed to be funny or something. The others characters are not good either. They are very simple-minded. Like, it's painful to watch. And once again it's cliché, so they're going make fun of a cliché personality trait.
Enjoyment 1/10:
It makes me angry. You want to slap the MC, you want to tell them don't do that, do this instead. Please use your brain and think. Where is your education ? The comedy part is not enjoyable, amusing. You can see the joke coming miles away. To be honest it's depressing.
Overall: I want to smash my head into a wall/10.

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 leftout 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 this game in their in-house studio CygamesPictures, and he took it by chance to make it Isekai-like (but thankfully within the confines of KonoSuba), and both directed and scripted this show that's in my opinion, close-but-not-close much to said series, but in its own unique way that stands out a lot to ooze its own charm.
Reading the story synopsis though, I'd bet anyone who've watched KonoSuba be like: "Hey, doesn't this sound all too familiar? *proceeds to check the person directing this* Yeah, it's that one guy who made KonoSuba a masterpiece comedy!", and you'd be right....with a few exceptions. Yuuki the main "protagonist" isn't like Kazuma, the shallow, bird-brained and altruistic kind against someone who knows the "tricks of the trade" right from the start, and before you ask, YES, both boys have to find out the answers on their own, whilst others giving out parts of it in their own sweet time. Instead of being street-smart like Kazuma, Yuuki is that cliché dumb person who doesn't talk, and when he does, becomes a parrot instead. But the most important aspect: if he is the "Hero" to save the world, then "save the world" he must take full responsibility for. I can see some criticism for this character, but to be perfectly honest, his character I can dig for the fundamental dynamics of the show in all circumstances.
Along the way, the characters to meet-and-greet the residing protagonist:
Elf Kokkoro (or as catgirl Karyl would nickname her Koro-ster), for her simple charm of being thoughtful and caring like a mother would be to a wandering and lost child. Her dedication to Yuuki is simply unmatched to see him be a hero, and always that OxO face that gets me each and everytime.
Pecorine the bubbly, energetic and enthusiastically OP girl, who knows no bounds at anything, eating, her magical powers, you name it, she has it all as the Jack of all trades. She's like Megumin, only more constricted to her abilities and plays wagers at almost everything to keep everything afloat in good spirits.
Cat girl Karyl (who came from the Dark Side), she's a plain tsundere once you get used to her character, but she didn't start out that way. Being mentally disturbed and controlled by her "Master" as a tool to spy on Yuuki, she soon gets bamboozled in the actions of Pecorine, Kokkoro and Yuuki, and eventually joins their group of shenanigans. Altogether, these 4 people of 1 chad and 3 best waifus make up the Gourmet Guild, because the only plot in this show is to keep filling your stomach, non-stop.
And not to mention, the other characters that make their cameos in the anime from the game itself, that's always a treat for the players of the game to exacerbate some excitement from the hardcore fans.
It's not hard to say that I'm a massive fan of Cygames's style of games, especially at the start of their mobile game adaptations (with P.A. Works' Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, and the OK-ish Manaria Friends). And I'd have to say, Princess Connect Re:Dive really shines the best when done at the company's in-house studio CygamesPictures, which are just plain nice, very vibrant and the best of all, the action scenes that are full of constant sakuga that never stops me drooling at how the visuals and artwork are really just well done throughout. Expecting more from Cygames and their mobile game adaptations done majestically.
Even more, is the music, the impressive performances of the seiyuus and such: M.A.O for Pecorine, Miku Itou for Kokkoro and Rika Tachibana for Karyl. The OP is already a heartwarming banger in my book, and for a fun fact: it was actually released last year as part of an AMV (with sneak peaks on the anime when it was still in the works), which when I always go back to listen to the great song and basking in the great visuals, makes for a great throwback. Sad that the planned ED is different from the anime, but whatever, I'll take it for what it is for such a pleasant end.
Overall, this was more than what I was expecting of a good anime adaptation based off a mobile game, this thoroughly exceeded my expectations a lot to throw my brain off and just watch a not-so-KonoSuba-ish in the flesh show that anyone can still enjoy to the fullest.
Impressive work. One of the dark horses of the season if you'd ask me. Total recommendation, that's for sure!

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 even considering switching from FGO to Princess Connect. Well. Haha. We'll see about that. It all depends on my x10 summon roll today.

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 overlordor 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 characters.
okay now that were done with characters lets get to music. it has one pokemon movie song as its flagship, probably to make doubly sure the declaration of war against digimon got across in case they didn't get the hint when we stole some of their more furry designs. the rest was procedurally generated using samples from only the most carefully curated pieces of inspirational media like season 2 of SAO, Bad VNs and the brazillian national anthem. to complement the overlord knights we also borrowed the clang sound effect from the award winning berserk 2016 adaptation.
now that we're done with that let's get to psychology. who are you, you absolute bottom of the barrel human being, that consumes this? you worthless fucking parasite, people suffer worldwide unable to consume media and you use your lucky genetics like this? you waste it on a gatcha adaptation which probably required less thought put into it than using a random fucking plot generator.
you fucking shit taste pioneer, you insufferable visionary of shit, you excrement seeker. going beyond just consooming mediocre shlock and trudging the putrid waters of absolute garbage instead. and even worse, you have lost the very semblance of taste and critical thought to the point you will extoll this goddamn disaster using any retard logic in your arsenal.
it makes me sick, imagining you laugh at these non-jokes. it disgusts me to the very core of my being imagining you cheer every time a poorly-imported gatcha game character appears in all their horribly designed glory, voiced by joe rogan impersonating a chimp and written by a fucking microwave, a fucking shell of a being you once were.
"it's comfy!" you will splurge out, watching non-characters do nothing for 20 minutes. you will nod along with a smile, as half of the last episode recaps all the good times we've had until now, before ripping off its own enemy from the previous episode. "classic karen!" you will laugh while your ears bleed and the sane part of your brain screaming back to no avail. "the face! she did the face!" you wheeze, while the face i make is that of loss.
"cant wait for you to get to best girl!" you say, oblivious or perhaps willfully ignoring the fact there is not a damn thing worth seeing here. what the fuck is the point of being best girl in a show with its only redeeming quality not being parallel paradise? i almost feel like begging you to come to your senses but you know what they say about madmen. they got you, and you got us. truth is the game was rigged from the start. now there is only dread until cygames releases the next installment of their magnum opus, continued further in connect season 4. they've obviously laid the foundations to a whole cinematic universe with legendary unforgettable characters like alpaca furry, forgotten sister #3, generic npc and stolen asset. can't wait for 13 more episodes of rehashed jokes straight up lifted from better shows (still awful, but better) like that one time they legit just 1:1 copied the first 10 minutes of shokugeki no souma's premier episode. i am estatic and quite fucking euphoric to know i will one day enjoy once more the amazing comedic masterpieces such as THE FACE, endless screaming, attack on titan season 3 finale, MC being vored by random passing furries (classic), vapid dialogue whose only sign of being supposedly funny is terribly paced comedic timing and occasional sound effect from the local library, and pecorine liking food ahahahahahahahahahahaha what a fucking zinger my dude.

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 animeoriginal 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 the show, as the show provides a fine slice of life comedy every week.
One of the things that surprised me about the show is how funny it can actually be. The comedy is well written in this, and while not the most high-brow or sophisticated work out there, it still never fails to make me laugh every week (barring the final episode, but I'll go into that later). While you may think the character bloat may diminish a lot of the scenes, the fact that only so few of their traits made it in, they practically become flanderized versions of themselves and ironically it contributes more to their likability and adds heavily to each scene's comedic value. And by flanderization, I really mean it. Kishi-kun for instance becomes a complete utter fool incapable of even basic social interactions, while Kyaru's tsundere traits are bumped up to max leading to her going hammy in almost every scene she's in. I just love it. Charles and Ikacchi really are the MVP of the show though, and I love all of their appearances the most.
The plot is paper thin and hardly resembles the mobage it's based on, but even then it's pretty shallow and weak. The whole series concludes just as the plot is about to get interesting, and without a sequel being announced, it does add to the feeling of emptiness. That said I'd be remiss to say if the plot was any good. Which it most certainly isn't. Priconne excels at being a slice of life comedy, its attempts at seriousness comes across as total schlock. It's laughable at best, but frustrating and tedious at its worst (ie the final episode which provides almost no joy).
Still despite this, Priconne was an absolute joy to sit through and I was deeply entertained each week by its presence. Even finding Ayumi hidden in each episode was a fun treat.

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 qualityin 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 stronger bond.
Of course, it should be said that the anime seems very generic at first glance and the fact that the characters are 99% female doesn't make it any better. And also the actual main story keeps both seasons mainly in the background and is transmitted only fractionally. If you're looking for a great storyline or expect a huge background, you definitely won't find what you're looking for. 3/4 of each season consists of everyday episodes, fights, and pure comedy. But it also has massive stronger and not only thanks to the studio.
[Story 4]
The protagonist wakes up in a mysterious world with no memories of his old life, finds "new" comrades, and starts to enjoy his life to the fullest. In the course of the plot, you learn more and more fragments about the connection of the protagonist to this world and the truth that lies behind it. It is a slightly above-average plot, but nothing mind-blowing. To experience the full extent, you'll probably have to play the game.
[Animations 9]
The animations really made me stumped on this one. That SO much budget can actually go into an anime adaptation is beyond my comprehension.
The lighting effects are almost permanently at their peak. The dynamics practically never let up. The backgrounds and details are impressively beautiful.
Even in the most unnecessary scenes, immensely detailed work is delivered, so that one can only marvel as a viewer.
[Characters 5]
Completely average. You have some minimal backgrounds and a few monologues, otherwise, that's it. Also, most of the personalities are just old familiar stereotypes. BUT, here it comes! The characters are completely convincing on the basis of sympathy and charisma. Not only are they simply lovable, but they have excellent chemistry with each other and complete the dialogues and scenes as they should.
Certainly, I would have liked more character depth or better backgrounds and ambitions. But what I got here more than satisfied me by far.
Particularly positive to me is the protagonist Yuki (solely because I find him incredibly endearing) and Pecorine, who despite her demeanor and naiveté has been a very mature and adult person who prefers to talk out problems rather than allow them to escalate.
[Music 9]
The intro is relaxing and simple, it's not catchy and it's not a masterpiece. But it simply has a very inviting melody.
And on the subject of relaxing, the outro is exactly what I want to see at the end. It shows smaller meaningless scenes from the characters' everyday lives, with very good contrast and a piece of very inviting and relaxing music.
The osts in the anime were very well placed and added a lot to the dynamic. And then we have the sound effects, as we know them from series like Fate and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Nothing else can add as much weight to attacks as this kind of presentation. Every single punch, slash, and kick had such a force that you could even feel it on your back.
[Conclusion 6]
If you're looking for an anime that resembles Genshin Impact or KonoSuba and is more into comedy and likable everyday episodes, you'll more than find it here.
The second season is slightly better than the first until the finale but drops off significantly at the end. Which makes the first season the better one, to my surprise.
This series can be easily forgotten, but not the positive memories.

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 mostpart, 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 the male protagonist Yuuki due to his memory loss. It later gets explained but it doesn't if I am honest to make him any better. For the most part, his being there could have been totally ignored.
The art of the show is very Konosuba reminiscent due to it being from the same place pretty much and it is a high standard of goofy animation that is wonderful for the show. Magic, explosions and cute girls are all done to such a high standard.
Characters come to a large collection and they are pretty much all very interesting.
Yuuki, as explained, is very dull and lets the show down a bit. The exception to the interesting, I am sure he will be interesting should we see his full story. Also ep11 come on man don't be scared of best girl Eriko.
Pecorine a fallen princess that is explained why in the show is very much an eater due to her accessories.
Kokkoro an elf girl sent to look after Yuuki as her lord is extremely loyal and cute.
Karyu a CAT GIRL who is wonderful and a TSUNDERE making her a pretty amazing character. She is very cute too in her actions.
Aoi who is a lone elf girl generally is extremely cute in her search to make friends.
Eriko my favourite from the fiend race is an obsessive girl (Yandere) but one that you would do what you need for her. The KuKuKu noise she makes is amazing.
For the others, we have everything from lolis to girls dressed as animals like a cow all the way to beast girls and girl beasts. (Girl beast you will understand with one specific character) You get so much choice that everyone should be able to find someone.
I would say from start to finish the show is very enjoyable. On one specific note in the finale, we see a user of transmutation that is always nice since it is much cooler than people let it sound usually. One thing I would love to have seen more of is Eriko but that is me since I could have an entire spin-off series with her.
Like said the only let down is how they progress Yuuki which is a shame and it drops the show down.
Hopefully, we get a second season.
9/10.

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 bythose 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 introduces new characters with a bit of foreshadowing time to time. I'm pretty sure the adaptation of the game is just meant to introduce the characters and the world of Astrum and that, they delivered nicely. It reminded me of KonoSuba more importantly and that makes it pretty enjoyable.
For the art, I give it a hands down 10/10 simply because Cygames is very consistent with the great quality of art it has given both in the game and the anime itself.
In regards to the voice acting, the voice actors and music are all pretty good. It is honestly what I loved about the series, seeing my favorite voice actors on almost all of the characters as I recognize their voices, and more importantly, they are the ones who sing the songs of this series so that is also a big plus.
For the character, I am a tiny bit disappointed that there are too many characters they decided to introduce that average people might not remember easily. Aside from that, I am very happy with it, especially regarding the main character, Yuuki because I barely hear him speak in the game so hearing him talk a lot in the anime was very satisfying to hear.
Overall, I think the anime adaptation of Princess Connect! Re:Dive is pretty good and I am very much more excited to see what they will show in the future given that Season 2 has been announced. I am urging people to give this anime a chance at least and not drop it immediately just because the characters are still being introduced and the plot isn't really anything "special", yet. I just believe getting to know the characters first is all part of Cygames' plan. I've been at the end of the road to know what comes in the future of this great series so I am confident to say you won't regret it.

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 no backstory.
Art:
Generic, but quite cute I guess.
Sound:
Normal I guess? There weren't any standouts, but it wasn't bad?
Character:
Where do I even start. Cookie cutter characters. You can basically name any RPG trope and bam- new character. I wouldn't even nitpick this part if they breathed a bit of life into the characters but they're all just so boring. It's nothing I haven't seen before.
The MC literally has 3 lines in the entire first episode. He knows how to say his own name, money is important, and some other meaningless line. He is mentally 3 years old and only knows how to grunt and 'ehe'. It's been a long time since I've seen such an unlikable MC.
Enjoyment:
Jokes were pretty bad. The characters aren't given enough time to develop so I couldn't get attached to them. It doesn't help that there's also no plot for me to get invested in.
Overall,
This is one of the worse isekais out there. Please do yourself a favor and watch something else. I will never get my 20 minutes back.

I never knew something so good could come out from a mobile game. One of the most enjoyable animes I have seen up to now, plus the plot twist on the last chapter leaves a great cliffhanger. Every chapter leaves you with a great mix of emotions that really fulfills you. I found it glad to be a Konosuba resemble (both directed by the same person), as I really liked it, but never expected it could be THAT good. But it is. The story is quite entertaining, with strange but fun typical side missions we can found in a MMORPG that take us away from thetypical tension of a far, distant goal. Every side character is really cute and has its own unique personality, which makes it interesting to watch.
The audiovisual level of this is masterpiece. The landscapes are perfect, every animation during battle looks really fresh and visual effects are stunning. Plus, OST is really great, and openings and endings asre great. Lost Princess, Soredemo Tomo, Connecting Happiness, and even Yes! Precious Harmony (which may appear in S2) are great songs, really enjoyable
Characters were completely amazing. We have Yuuki, a dumb but really light-hearted guy who always tries to help everyone, Kokkoro, a nice girl always caring and loving which would give anything to protect you and Karyl, a quite dumb and at first outnerving character, which developed really great and ended up being a great girl. All of them three are great, but Pecorine is the one who definitivelly steals the show. Me, a great fan of deredere type characters, couldn´t actually look anything else when she was on screen. She is that incrdibly affective, loving, sweet and energic girl that will always hug you if you need it. Sadly, as japanese culture is more closed, there are not enough of these characters in anime...
I really liked this anime. I was about to give it an 8, but that last chapter was just unexpectedly sad. That Pecorine crying part got me really sad, but just after that it had a happy ending, with an incredible cliffhanger and the real plot revealed in the last chapter. Season 2 is going to be fun!!!
Story: 7/10

Should you watch it? Yes, especially if you enjoyed Konosuba

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 Ifind 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 if it's nowhere near top10, it deserves much more love and appreciation.

OxO Konosuba's director directed this?...Ohh it shows! Princess Connect! Re:Dive is the anime adaptation of an incredibly popular mobile game by CyGames and right from all those credentials LA was interested in this anime, BUT LA wasn't expecting the anime to take such a comedic approach to things akin to Last Period, but where Last Period was meta humor stemming form mobile game elements, Princess Connect! Re:Dive is PURE comedy through and through and with the director of KonoSuba, Takaomi Kanasaki, this anime was the perfect mix of great visual and verbal comedy whilst keeping to it's roots of it's source material in all manner of ways. NowLA ha splayed the game but differing circumstances besides LA getting bored of Princess Connect! Re:Dive was the reasoning to why LA can't play it anymore but LA just wanted to say that LA has played the game this anime adaptation is based off and much like Granblue Fantasy before it, watching this anime made lA want to find ways of playing it again.
*Ahem* with those details out of the way, onto story and characters, let's start off with the main cast shall we?
Character-wise, it has an air of KonoSuba about it, well we have LA two favourite characters of Kyaru voiced by Rika Tachibana and Kokkoro voiced by Miku Ito, Kyaru as an agent from the villains of this anime to keep an eye on Pecorine voiced by M.A.O, the Princess of the Astraea but she more or less gets roped into Pecorine, Kokkoro and Yuuki's mess and becomes the minder to ALOT of the situations they get into, she's also a MASSIVE tsundere towards Pecorine due to her mission but the more the anime progresses, the more she opens up to Pecorine and the rets of the main cast. Kokkoro is just the purest maiden of this anime and the one that does the OxO face, she was sent out on a mission to get Yuuki's memories back as the chosen hero but hijinks ensues. Next is Pecorine, the aforementioned Princess and her main schitick is that she's LOVES food and is extremely powerful at that too but she wants to find new food to eat as that being her goal, latter on she forms the guild Gourmet Edifice with Kyaru, Yuuki and Kokkoro in order to achieve that. Finally we have our "main protagonist" an often aloof, sometimes silent protagonist who gets into all manners of trouble, namely wolves or monsters always eating him and him mainly being the ditz of the group. Yuuki IS supposedly suppose to represent "us" the player but he does have a touch of his own personality going into this anime but mainly LA can get a hold of him, like whether he's actually faking all this in order to gain sympathy (and get a harem) or whether meta-wise, Yuuki is SUPPOSE to be this ditzy for the sake of him losing his memories. Nonetheless this combination of characters and their wacky antics leads to so AMAZINGLY well done delivered punchlines, both visually and verbally with the character interactions.
With that, the minor cast aren't bad either as many of the minor characters do get subtle or freeze frame bonuses before their actual introductions comes into play and working them into isolated episodes that sometimes intermingle with one another sometimes, you know like an actual lived in world. To this end, alot of the minor characters like Suzume and Saren gets more than an introductory episodes at times and we get to know them better. Now speaking in terms of game, LA wanted Nozomi to be in this anime and she DID (as she was LA's favourite character in the series), but because of this anime, more opened up to LA, such as Saren, Misato, Ames, Ilya, Shinobu and Yukari. Nonetheless because of Princess Connect: ReDive's semi-isolated plot structure nature, LA is glad that many of the minor characters do get their spotlight and aren't relegated to never appearing again after their introductory episodes.
The comedy from the mind of KonoSuba's directors put both the visually and verbal comedy into play and works wonders for the characters, world building at that. Verbally, it made the main cast extremely likable and funny at that especially with the character jabbing interactions and wacky situations they get into (in a way sorta showing that especially for Kyaru that she likes being with them even with all her jabbing and tsukommi act), visually due to the animation, the execution on many of the visual gags were funny, even the running gas as they used them in great succession that the running gags became things you'd WANT to keep seeing much the the OxO face among others. All in all you'll be getting TONS of laughs form the mind of KonoSuba and man it was a riot on how great in execution the comedy was and still is for Princess Connect: ReDive.
The animation done by CyGamePcitures so another words the animation studio that HELMS the source material of this anime, so you KNOW the animation is in good hands, the animation is top notch with crisp to distinctly great production value across the board, from the visually great backgrounding and battles, the great comical reactions form the characters and really much like A1-Pictures and MAPPA toward Granblue giving it all the attention and quality assurance for it's animation, CyGamesPictures truly outdid themselves with the animation, LA has no words, the animation was AMAZINGLY done.
The voice cast was amazing especially from the Gourmet Edifice. Though Yuuki voiced by Atsushi Abe (ohhh FUKOU DA indeed) has grunts or the occasional words coming from him, his cadence was nonetheless "ok"...for the character he was portraying. The MVP's however easily goes to Rika Tachibana as the minder of Gourmet Edifice and resident tsundere of the cast and LA just loved ever time Kyaru SPOKE. Another MVP would go to Miku Ito as the pure maiden, soft spoken Kokkoro with finally M.A.O doing a great job as the bubbly yet slightly ditzy Pecorine. The rest of the minor cast were great in their roles as well, with some notable examples of Asami Imai as Yukari drawing in her inner Yuu Kobayashi, Kana Hanazawa as Aoi, an incredibly creepy cute of Eriko from Chinami Hashimoto, going from Nero Claudius to Sakura of Ilya from Sakura Tange. LA could go on, seriously this voice cast was stellar no wait, exceptionally excellent with amazing direction.
Princess Connect Re:Dive is by the by, KonoSuba 2.0 if it had source material from a mobile game and this isn't knocking to either of them, LA genuinely had tons of laughs, fun, loved almost ALL the characters, both main and minor, loved the comedy with the great production value not only making it visually appealing but that worke din favour of both it's characters and comedy in tandem with one another. Princess Connect Re:Dive just gives you the entire comedic package and gives it out wholesale as to how great it is. Once again in a game perspective, LA WANTED TO GET BACK INTO THIS GAME, that's telling how great this anime and Princess Connect Re:Dive did it's job in not only advertising the game to you but you also had fun along the way and best yet, if you got attached to a character, no doubt you'd be curious of the game. Princess Connect Re:Dive is by far and quite easily LA's favourite comedy anime of Spring 2020, maybe as strong contender for best anime of Spring 2020. Be it if your a fan of the game and want to see the game on the silver screen or your curious of all the memes of Princess Connect Re:Dive is about, you will not be disappointed and have tons of laughs along the way...it's a must watch.
Karyl is Useless Goddess and LA loves her for that...Karyl Best Girl.

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 wasan 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, I'll be honest, I was not too impressed at the MC, but along the way, I got used to it and it didn't really bother me as much anymore as I just enjoyed how the series was rising up. As I near the end, the heartfelt moments that develop sometimes and the messages that are portrayed really spoke to me and made me keep wanting to watch more. The next thing I knew, I checked off the next season of this anime to plan to watch already. Overall, some tears were shed, and amazing moments were brought upon, and the character development was smooth and interesting to witness throughout, the animation is spot on and beautiful, the music and sounds were simply music to my ears and I can't wait for the next season!

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 goingto 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's often a side character in his own anime. However, I still kinda like the way they portrayed the "blank slate" character archetype here. Instead of having him be a boring stoic, they make him basically a 17 year old toddler, speaking in sentence fragments 90% of the time. While this creates many hilarious moments where the girls have to save his ass from monsters, it also allows the stronger female cast to shine out even more and gives opportunities to see him gradually become less of a monster punching bag, which are quite satisfying.
Speaking of the female cast, they are plentiful and, most importantly, have distinct character designs, which definitely comes from this being adapted from a gacha game. Pecorine, in particular, steals the show with her infectious personality and intriguing backstory, even though I, again, wish they delved into it more before episode 12.
What definitely sets this apart is just how detailed this anime is, from the backgrounds to the animation. Fights don't come often, usually once per episode. But when they do, they're some of the most gorgeous fight scenes this side of Ufotable. They could have just phoned this in for a quick buck to promote the game, but they very obviously didn't. Between the gorgeous setting and colorful cast of characters, this is one isekai I would actually get hit by a truck to enter.

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 youto 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 MC surrounded by cute girls. Nothing realy groundbreaking. The character interactions and comedy are really what carry the show and make it so good. Which is fine, not everything has to be Steins;Gate/Fate level writing. One notable difference between this and other fantasy style shows is that the MC, at least in the beginning, is not super OP and actually relies on the female supports for most fights.
As previously noted, characters are absolutely adorable, hilarious and will grow on you pretty quickly. The story doesn’t take itself too seriously, but manages to mix humour, wholesomeness and seriousness really well. With comedy anime, a big part of my enjoyment is based on whether or not the jokes land. I definitely would say the humour in this one was right up my alley and created a really enjoyable experience that I would recommend.
Art is very bright and vibrant and reminds me a lot of Konosuba’s style which I found aesthetically pleasing. Animation and sound design during the few fights was surprisingly really good. Cygames actually put a really good effort in on the animation and for this type of show I must say, I was impressed.
Priconne was certainly one of my favourite shows of the year and is a really relaxing and enjoyable watch. It’s not anything too deep or heavy, and is just a genuinely fun anime. Priconne gets 8 princess knights out of 10.
PS:Beware Gacha addiction.

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 storylike 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 succeeded in making each character more unique and memorable.
From the sound and music, this anime is really good at demonstrating every scene with suitable music. Like Konosuba, this anime has a good intro, outro, and background music. And also in the sound effect, it is very similar to Konosuba. Even though it's similar, thanks to that, I really enjoy watching this anime without getting bored.
In terms of character, I think each character has its own uniqueness that is easy to remember. Some characters do look simple but their uniqueness makes their characters unforgettable. Because that's the character who managed to make the comedy in this anime run smoothly.
So even though a lot of people say it's a copy of konosuba I think that's a good thing. Because having the same director from Konosuba this anime can provide better things and without flaws in terms of plot, music, and characters. And these two anime can be a benchmark for other anime that want to resemble this genre.

I am giving this a high score. The reason is not mostly because I am a pervert guy who loves girls and only watch them. The reason is I had played the game and I know the story of how it goes. I can see a lot of good and bad but I am kinda sad about seeing people not understand the whole story what it's about. At the same time, I kinda piss off for people not understanding how and why the story goes. PRECAUTIONS, if u are reading this, u are ready to know something important about this anime and the game. Iwill spoil some of them but this will help you understand what anime has shown.

Firstly, the reason why the MC was so useless and can't be able to talk. He was reincarnated as the same person without any previous memory and he is 17 years old but as a 1-year-old child mind, that's why he can only know how to speak less like erm or good. You will wonder how is he reincarnated, you can found out when u start their game.
Secondly, the princess in the anime looks like op and one-shot monster, the reason why is the main character has the power to buff the princess another word is giving princess more power to one-shot monsters. Don't ask why because that's beyond the spoiler.
Third, this is a story where how MC reincarnated, begins his journey, and create a guild with three girls, Kokkoro, Pecorine, and Kyaru.
Lastly, please don't give any shit review and bring a misunderstanding to people who haven't watch yet. This is an anime where MC reincarnated with a 1-year-old mind that can hardly know anything but his name, If u think this is funny, try to play the game then u realize u are the main character with a 1-year-old mind but have the power to give a buff to the princess who is trying to protect u. I am not trying to pull people in to play the game but want to let people who are ready to give a low rating to understand a bit of this anime
