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.

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!!!

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 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.

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.

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.

SHORT REVIEW: I don't normally write reviews but this show has far exceeded my expectations. Many reviews I read elsewhere has criticised the plot, or lack thereof, but it is after all based off a game. Yet, even with the seemingly abrupt start and finish, this show is still a worthwhile story on its own. The animation is beyond spectacular and the outro song has the same vibes as Chiisana Boukensha from Konosuba. Overall, I'm giving it a 10 because of how little I expected from this at first, but was completely blown away by just how good this is. Granted, this will not crack the listof Top Animes Ever, but it is still a gem nonetheless.

What a show. Caught me off-guard this season! Basically, if you enjoyed Konosuba at least a little bit, you will enjoy this EVEN MORE. I enjoyed this so much, everything in this anime was just right. Konosuba did its own things right to convey what it wanted to be and what the show portrayed, and this anime does that as well, in its own way. To begin with, I believe our main star of the show is Pecorine - the best girl I've come across so far. Pretty much the most likable character that I couldn't stop enjoying. Having a friend like that in real-life - canyou imagine? Absolute madness! (in a good way) She has all of that energy and warmth, or so it seems.
A good thing to note is that the lord Yuuki's guide - Kokkoro-sama - actually is being voiced by the same person who voiced Schwi in NGNL:Zero and Shiro in NGNL. That is very great to hear her in this show, even despite the fact that her voice, at least for me, didn't really blend in with the rest, it felt monotonous for me, but it did convey the character well - the modest, honest, heartwarming Kokkoro. Might be just me though.
I would like to point out one thing I couldn't overlook throughout the whole show - Kokkoro's character, at certain points, had absolutely strange face proportions which I couldn't comprehend. No idea why it is like that, but it always caught my attention (and you might notice it as well).
The animation is absolutely great. The fight scenes are very good, even the little fights or simple victories look stunning and manage to amaze you, maintain your attention and make the impression that it was... SOMETHING. Something bigger than just a simple strike.
The story is... well, another... story. some details are hard to understand due to the lack of information in certain parts (some of the information can be hypothesized). That might be due to the fact that this is based on a mobile game, so I believe it is aimed more towards the people who already have played or know about the game. It is not that big of a deal though. Of course, I had to read some of the information in order to understand what is the deal with the whole world and what is happening, but fortunately, none of that information affected my enjoyment nor did it really spoil anything. If anything, there isn't much difference rather than just your own curiosity - are you satisfied with what you learnt, or you want to understand the whole picture in more detail? That is basically that.
Either way, the pace was great, I enjoyed every moment of this great show, it kept me interested, every battle had me hooked and the characters always intrigued me with their motives, secrets, behavior, actions and ideas. They are all a fun, friendly and loyal bunch who were bound by fate. By fate they cannot avoid.
By the way, the OP is amazing, especially the beginning - all that J A Z Z ! Absolutely flabbergasting.

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.

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

The story isn't clear, I agree. But the last few absolutely stepped up it's game. Well to be honest, the story might jump around a bit. But at least it's heartwarming and wholesome. It's basically just reverse Konosuba. The animation is very good, well Cygames tend to have good animations for their games anyway. So that's not a big surprise. To be honest, I didn't really like the opening song. But in the end it sort of stuck with me. Let's be honest here, you know the protagonist is literal hot trash. Nah but really, gotta see the original. But the girls are great. Ireally enjoyed this series, maybe cause I played the game.

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.

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.
