As expected from CygamesPictures, this looks really good. This was one of the shows I was most looking forward to this season, not because I played the game, but because I liked what I saw of the girls in the PVs, especially Pecorine, and I must say that this first episode delivered, it was super fun!

I'm so in love with Pecorine, she's so gorgeous... and there's so much boing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Both Pecorine and Kokkoro are so cute <3

Freaking wolves lol.

So many waifus at the end... I want an English version of the game xD. Looking forward to the next episodes.

that was very wholesome first episode

and the episode was not confusing like how some people are saying

anyway i give this episode a 5/5

As someone who knew the game existed, but otherwise has seen zero game play of it, I had an enjoyable time with this first episode.

I went in with low expectations, so that probably helped. This probably isn't something to praise the episode for, but having our main boy be mostly mute and express through body language was cute and a breath of fresh air from common tropes. Does this provide any substance other than being different? Probably not, but I'll take it.

The slapstick humor and colorful visuals made for a pleasant, relaxed experience. The characters mostly have their heads in the clouds, but if that's going to be consistent with the world, or a source of humor, then it shouldn't be much of a problem. Seems like this will be the more wholesome equivalent of Konosuba at this rate.

The self-insert character is way too dumb and the setting is beyond generic. I never played the game. I saw some good Momochi fanart, which was the reason why I had any interest in watching this, if she isn't the cutest thing ever this will be a very easy drop.

I have the same sentiment as you. It makes me wonder if they'll do an original story because of this. I hope not because the story from the game was really good and well done so I'll keep an eye out for future episodes. Though people would really not understand the story much especially when Re:Dive is a sequel of Princess Connect! (2016 game) which is a shame.

Princess Knight is just a name. There's a lot of cool stuff going on in the original story which I'm not going to touch. Let's hope they recover from this disaster of an episode.

Otherwise I agree with everyone whose opinion is "WTF did I just watch" and "Why is everyone mentally handicaped".

This is most certainly not following the original flow.

Honestly i only want to watch it because its isekai, i despise harems or at least harems where the mc does not feel attraction towards anyone. The colors are amazing to look at but the story just seems retarded. Probably the only thing i really liked in episode one was the wolves. I dont know if the mc will ever regain his memories (he might have at the end) but its hard to watch for me considering the other two isekais that started airing this month which i enjoyed watching way more.

I will watch this only for the animation and the fan-service, the pacing is really poor and the direction disappointed me a little, taking into account that this is the same director who worked in Konosuba. Anyway, Pecorine is best girl and I would love to rest on her breasts while she eats.

As much as I adored the game for past two years, this episode was a disappointment.

Can't tell if it's a good thing yet, but it focused on events outside of early events in the game or manga, which are virtually the same--which in turn means there was no meaningful plot. Also, no intrigue left, except for a beautiful flashback scene that barely took 5 seconds.

The tempo is ridiculous, and if you know nothing of the game, you would barely be able to makes sense of what the hell is this world at all, and what to expect of the plot. If you do, in fact, know the contents of the game, you can't help but notice that every character acts like a comedic idiot for no specific reason.

I assure you that the plot and the characters are incredible in the original work, but I'm not sure what to expect of the anime version. I'll keep my hopes up, especially after learning that this, in fact, comes from the director of KonoSuba.

I think is a better way to introduce the characters than Azure Lane did. Just take it slowly, there are enough episodes left to explore the world and introduce more characters. and there will be enough time to learn more about the past, I'm certain about that. (even though I know nothing about the game)

Tbh I didn't know this is an adaptation of a game, it was fine, seems like the typical adventurers world / isekai, unlucklily for me seems like it will be an harem? The ending shows like 30 different girls. And if it's hard for me to watch an harem with 5 possible romances then if this turns out with more than 2 (since this isn't a romance anime) it will be a no watch from me. And another problem are the mentality of the characters, a lot of people already said it, but are they babies? The comedy makes Kokoro look stupid if she isn't already, the main character well, for now isn't doing anything but can't even talk?? and the other girl is just stupid with no brain at all.
I am going to give it a try because the animation-colors are great and the main boy looks cute.

It's time for Grimnir on the big screen ,granblue memes aside i really enjoy how dumb this was.


Played the game a for a little bit in JP so i couldn't really speak for the actual story since it mainly seemed like light hearted fluff from what i played for a cute girl gacha collecting rpg with very high productions since it's cygames and i play a ton of their parent game gbf.

taking the mostly mute MC approach just like the game can honestly just pretend this new born baby doesn't exist

i'm just ready to see our gluttonous knight eat everything...EVERYTHING, say it with me people "i'm watching this for the cute waifus" if you aren't well you're gonna have a bad time

Anime adaptations of smartphone games aren't exactly known for their high quality, but I still believe in giving them a fair chance instead of automatically dismiss them for whatever reason. The visuals are amazing, the music is beautiful and the vocal performances are incredible, but the story is non-existent and the characters themselves are bit bland and unoriginal. I don't really like the fact that Yuuki can only speaks in broken sentences, so I hope that changes over the course of the series, if only to showcase some character development.

Much like Konosuba, the show indulges in subversive and wacky humor, the kind of humor that quickly introduces some comedic element into an otherwise serious and dramatic moment. Unlike Konosuba, however, the main characters aren't selfish jerks, they are genuinely good people who care about each and just try to make the most out of a bad situation, so at least the show has that going for it.

All in all, this wasn't the best way to start the show, but it could have been worse. While the production values are nice, the show will ultimately stand or fall by the strength of its characters and narrative, so hopefully, these things will improve as the show continues. I'm not expecting much from this show but it could be fun.

As someone who knows the source, if he already thinks it's "gay" I don't think this anime is going to change his mind. Look up his profile. Princess Connect is basically Kryptonite to him.

There are a lot of problems with the story: 1. too many female warriors. Unless you have a different system to procreate like in one anime were they are born from a tree, you cannot have so many women having life threatening occupations or occupations that might cause them to miss the fertility window. That is why modern world is dying.
2.the two thieves act really unmanly
3.what man eats crepes?
4. even if one loses his memories he will not revert to the age of a toddler

Also while I am honored for you looking at my profile I am curious what from it made you say this type of anime is my kryptonite. I have a varied list of anime including seinen shojo shounnen and others. There are two things I hate in anime: extremely unrealistic settings and anime that try to feed you propaganda.


I can usually tell if someone would like/dislike a certain anime based on empirical data like top anime, avatars and someone's complaints/praises from their opinions. And from the evidence I've gathered, it may be the smarter choice for you to just walk away because Priconnect will keep this style straight until the end. You could subvert my conclusion by keeping an open mind however. It's your choice really.

There are some who end up liking the MC for what he has done to them but he doesn't return it back for pretty good reasons though. The "harem"ness of the series actually has an explanation but I won't go too much into it. I just don't like how they stemmed out from the original flow on the first episode.

Idk anything about the game, but I have to admit this first eps did a good job to make me want to play the game. Aside that, it's refreshing to watch such a comedy fantasy isekai anime while waiting for the next season of Konosuba.

The visual quality is consistently good. The music fit with the easygoing and comedic theme. And the waifu are legit cute. The main heroine voice by Itou Miku which is no wonder she is cute. I'm expecting more.

While I understand some people complain about how dumb and blant is the MC, I think that's also the strong point for this eps, considering how all the dumb scene he is involved in will trigger the heroine to react in cute manner and funny. Somehow this remind me of Konosuba, while I understand both are just different.

In konosuba, usually the heroine are the dumb ones instead of the mc, while MC will react to make the scene into a funny one, instead of the heroine. I know that's not always the case, it just what usually happens and let's take it as example. To compare it, I just felt Konosuba tried to make the scene into funny and sometime erotic, which is fit to our horny MC (Kazuma) to react about it. And in other case, Kazuma will just react based common sense instead, which make the scene relateable to our humour sense. That's usually the approach that happen.

Meanwhile in this eps the role are reverse, and the approach is different from konosuba... which is MOEness. Right they just want to make a comedy based one Moe as the theme. And they did it really good. If you're not into this kind moe in the first place that's fine. Meanwhile I just hope the MC will have more development in his character later.

There's so much stuff I want to describe about this thing which I obviously can't because the spoiler territory will probably cover the whole of the Earth and then some.

It's just that... Most of the things about this world are not what they seem.

What I want to point out as well is that the game is written by an accomplished light novel writer going by the name Akira(日日日)and the original writing is excellent. And this is not even an original game, it's a reboot of a game he also wrote.

I see what they're trying to do with the MC.
Pretty nice idea in itself, but there are still a few parts where the MC didn't really have to say anything (the narrative can just flow as it is) and there are also a few parts where the MC should have given us hints.

well, once they get the execution right, it should be great (as long as people don't expect stuff they should have known they wouldn't get here).
