let me tell you a story... about a sad bunch of people... there aren't many of them, yet last year has been shockingly painful for them they... or we are called the princess principal fans. a show that aired in 2017 with 2 movies in 2021 and another coming out in 2023. a story about a group of spy girls in a steam-punk setting who fight a secret war unknown by most to prevent war from breaking out. despite it's masterful ost done by the same person who did the soundtrack of madoka magica, demon slayer and case study of vanitas, A grade writing and story structure, and fantastic world building and visuals, the show is not popular. in fact barely anyone knows about it. which is fine, hidden gems are things that exist. I just bashed it off as it not having mainstream appeal. until this year.... first spy x family blew up which it's spy section had the exact same premise. but I thought, well, other than the similar setting and spy section premise, they are completely different, so it doesn't matter. but then lycoris recoil blew up. which was EXTREMELY similar in a lot of ways while also being a lot less well thought out in terms of story and setting. but I still thought, the dynamic of the 2 main characters was very different from the cast of princess principal, and that was it's selling, so even though it did do most things worse, the main thing that people liked about was arguably something not even present in princess principal. and now we are here, with this. if this also blows up... I will be broken. because it would mean the only reason pripri didn't was bad luck. now I have 2 things to say: 1. what do you think the reason for this is, and do you think this show will blow up as well or not? 2. please go watch princess principal. and do it in dub. I promise it does an extremally good job with doing the premise justice. it can make you cry, smile, care and has one of the coolest twists I have seen in a long time. |

Princess Principal suffered from mediocre cast and phenomenal soundtrack made by legendary Yuki Kajiira can carry it only for so long. Once series finished airing it was quickly forgotten and people were only remembering it for it's soundtrack. Movies did not really brought it back to life. Now, if what LN readers are saying is true, Spy Classroom is much better in that aspect and each girl is lovable, quirky and contributes in her own way. Also, SILVER LINK is a solid studio and has expertise in those kind of shows. |

I tried to watch Princess Principal because so many people were comparing it to LycoReco, which I loved dearly and I couldn’t even make it to the end of the first episode. LycoReco works for a myriad of reasons — because it’s not an overwhelming ever-present ensemble cast that constantly feel the need to keep track of, because its premise is intriguing and grounded, and we aren’t forced some kind of objectifying perspective of the girls by, arguably, anyone other than the girls themselves. I can see that PriPri might work for some people that enjoy these more typical, not-quite-harem all-girls’ casts but I personally get put off by them and might end up instantly dropping Spy, too. This might come off as rambling about my personal tastes, but aside from flashy presentation, from the first episode I can already tell that LycoReco and PriPri are two completely different shows. Because ultimately, LycoReco isn’t about the Lycoris program in the sense that these girls’ quirky little lifestyle is glorified — we actively see that a lot of these girls start caving under the pressure, they start brutally infighting, and questioning what their life could mean outside of the scope of that system at all. Maybe PriPri goes there? But if it’s closer in concept to Spy Kyuoshitsu, (I assume, given that you’re lumping it into the same category, and having skimmed the light novel, the absolute last association I have is with LycoReco), then the comparison just isn’t there — they’re two fundamentally different shows and there isn’t any kind of curse on the “genre” (other than maybe Girls With Guns, but we not only already knew that, I also don’t think PriPri really fits there either). |

I would beg the differ, and I think you would agree if you had finished the show. princess principal does have some of that characters messing around and you getting to know them moments. there is a full episode of them joining a laundry and helping their business. their main goal was finding someone from their clothes, but 90% of the episode focused on the laundry stuff and just characters helping each other. pri pri is VERY similar to the more serious parts of lycoris recoil, specially in it's format. and it does have some of the more characters messing around moments too, BUT pripri is mostly the serious stuff. while lycoris does have more focus on the messing around with the cast moments. It is true that, both have different amounts of those, but both of them have those to some degree. they aren't copy pasted, but they are extremely similar. and as I said, nothing in pripri is exactly like the dynamic of the 2 main characters of lycoris. well, there is, but chemistry wise lycoris is on a completely different level. those 2 girls were made for each other. BUT, I do think it does everything else better. but then again, that one thing is the main selling point of lycoris recoil so I can very much so see how that one thing can make a huge difference for a lot people. |

I assume by this you think the characters are just waifu bait, and I really don't think that's the case. if anything, lycoris recoil is way closer to being that than princess principal. I get why you think that when seeing only a small part of it, but still... |

Pripri is indeed underrated!!! But unfortunately, 2017 was kind of a weak year of anime considering the year beforehand!!! If my memory serves me right, Dragonmaid, Black Clover, MIA, AOT S2 were the only big names in that year!!! Unfortunately, for me it started airing at the wrong time & eversince then, Its hidden!!! |

I’m gonna be real: Princess Principal suffers from possibly the worst, most misleading titling of all time. When someone sees that name they would brush it off is a show about princesses or something for kids. Many people won’t even bother to read the synopsis of a show with a name like that. I’m a huge fan of princess principal, but I had to be suggested to watch it before it caught my eye and I looked into it. Meanwhile, Spy x Family and Spy Classroom have the word “Spy” in them. This immediately grabs your attention and tells you what it’s about. Even though technically Princess Principal does make sense as a title once you understand what the show is about, it’s still a terrible one that gives the wrong impression. It’s simple marketing, and unfortunately Princess Principal suffers there. |

I hate this though, because the title is catchy and makes a whole lot of sense when you realize what it is referring to. but you are correct. the name isn't really straight forward. I guess there is a reason some anime have an entire synopsis as their title. although even with that I still really like the title. so idk if I would change it or not. |

Honestly, there’s no need to be upset about something insignificant like this. I didn’t like how Lycoris Recoil got as popular as it did, but having these sort of feelings is such a waste. You can’t control what other people like or dislike, so there’s no point in thinking about that imo. |

Also I read the LN and it does have a lot of appeal imo, but let's see if the adaptation is good because at the end of the day it's a LN adaptation.Princess Principal suffered from mediocre cast and phenomenal soundtrack made by legendary Yuki Kajiira can carry it only for so long. Once series finished airing it was quickly forgotten and people were only remembering it for it's soundtrack. Movies did not really brought it back to life. Now, if what LN readers are saying is true, Spy Classroom is much better in that aspect and each girl is lovable, quirky and contributes in her own way. Also, SILVER LINK is a solid studio and has expertise in those kind of shows. |

I mean, what the hell is a Lycoris, anyway? And all this stuff about marketing...I wasn't exposed to any marketing for either title. Where do ads for upcoming anime run? I've never seen one. I think the actual reason Princess Principal is ever so slightly less popular than Lycoris is timing. Post-2020 anime community operates on a different wavelength, especially when it comes to hyping up every single random maaaaybe slightly better than average show as the best thing since sliced bread. |

Yes exactly. Lycoris Recoil is gibberish which leads you to be curious what it means so you read the synopsis or look at the cover and see girls holding guns. Princess Principal is not gibberish, it’s misleading and sounds like it’s about princesses. That’s different and leads many people not to give it a chance or even read the synopsis. |

I don't know why you would be upset by another show blowing up when the one you think is better didn't. Just don't care about the show you don't want to blow up then, I don't think this one has many chances anyways, it seems like a harem but I can barely see the MC so you can tell you are here for the girls that want the random MC, seems like something people will forget after it finishes airing. |

Lycoris Recoil never reminded me of it, but it did remind quite much me of Gunslinger Girl. Which made it feel rather bizarre, because of how comparatively light-hearted it is. And I wouldn't want them to not get popular. I'm just saying the more other shows similar to it blow up, the more I feel like shit about it being underrated. |

Totally relatable to me but with other series. Sometimes the underrated one is better than the popular one. But we can't do anything for that, atleast the underrated ones remain as hidden gems and we know we enjoyed it. Maybe get your friends to watch Princess principal? Atleast you'll have someone to discuss about it. |

I expect it to blow up. 1. It already has 100k jp twitter followers before airing. This doesnt haplen often for new shows that are not some big name shonen. 2. The voice cast is stacked. Like 8 popular female seiyuus. 3. Studio feel that has an excellent resume especially after oregairu. 4. Amazing character designs. Really like lily and annette I do hope it blows up since it looks to be a good show. Also fantasia bunko really needs more hit shows after date a live and saekano. Management of novice alchemist, demon lord reborn, kimisen, didn't take off and fantasia rebuild shut down |

You have made me more interested in Spy Classroom. if people think that's to spite me, they missed my point. i'm not angry at these blowing up. i'm angry at pri pri not doing the same despite there being being clear mainstream interest in the concept. i just phrased the title that way, to get more clicks, so more people can know about princess principal. |

Horrible director, just accept it... |
In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit? Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase. Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality. |

kakeguruitwinxx said: Whoa... it's almost as if people have their own interest. What you classify as masterpiece isn't objective. People are not obligated to say "oh, yeah, that's a masterpiece" just because you think it is. There are reasons Princess Principal isn't as famous: is an original material from a not so well known studio (compared to SxF and LR that you said), was released in a rather boring year for anime, so goes on. "I'm angry at Pripri not doing the same despite there being a clear mainstream interest in the concept". Spy genre have existed for years? And SxF, LycoReco and Spy Classroom have no other similarity with Pripri other than being in the spy genre. Spy anime have been around for years, everyone knows it's not all that original. Why is one more popular than the others? The execution and the marketing. If that logic is applied then why are many shounen mangas still getting axed to this day, even though there are clear mainstream interest in shounen? Many anime, and actually not just anime, good or not, don't blow up. Making a thread on another stuff just to promote it like people are obligated to like it is so??? And you're probably going to say "I'm not forcing people" but at least to me, setting up a whole thread with this kind of title on it is already pretty forceful? 1. its not just spy stuff that is similar. for spy x family, its a secret group of spies doing episodic or arc based missions that relate to stopping a war from breaking out. but as i said spy x family also is a full on SOL. so its not exactly the same. even though the spy aspect has the exact sams concept. lyvoris recoil is about a group of girls secretly going on missions to stop criminals. this time not to hide war. but instead the rest is even more similar. BUT again, its main selling point is the main characters duo, which obviously pri pri does not have. 2. yes you're right. it was released in a more boring year when anime wasn't as mainstream, the studio isn't that well known, and the source is anime original. those are all reasons for why it blew up and none of them have anything to do with the actual quality. i mean here's the thing, the score for the show isn't low. i would expect it to be a little higher, but the show was far from being poorly recived from the people who did watch it. i can easily see it get as popular as lycoris, if not more so, if it came oit today. 3. you say critically aclaimed, but pripri among the people who have seen it is just as, if not more highly praised than sxf and lycoris. why is the score lower? because the less mainstream a show is, the more hardcore weebs compared to casual watchers tend to watch it. and those guys are normally way harsher with scores. there is a reason extremely highly praised shows like kaiba and demo deco have lower scores than demon slayer, despite the latter being way more critisized. 4. there is a massive difference between forcing you to watch something, and making you aware of it. you could argue that i'm advertising. but i am in no way forcing you. i just tried to convince people to check it out. how is that a bax thing? if someone takes interest in the genre, they may very much like pripri, which would be an absolute win win. and even if you aren't interested, it can't hurt to know about it. |

kakeguruitwinxx said: First off. "Spies going on missions to stop wars" isn't that what every spy anime does? Spy films, whatever. What else they're going to do? If it doesn't have any stakes then it doesn't make much of a story. It was released in a boring anime season, but there's no way "anime was not mainstream" in 2017??? You can see it being popular, but it isn't, but if you're gonna post a thread on it then post it on the Princess Principal MAL page rather than Spy Classroom? When did I say critically acclaimed? "Princess Principal among people who have seen it as it is" really? I'm pretty sure you're refering to "Princess Principal among its fan". I didn't even bring up critics and all, so it's weird you think it's a point. "You could argue I'm advertising"... with a thread on another anime's MAL page titled "I'm gonna be mad if this blows up since Princess Principal didn't". Princess Principal isn't the first good anime to go unpopular. Isn't the last either. It's pretty clear that either you got to anime recently since you think anime was "not mainstream" in 2017, or you just want to show that you're an underrated hidden gem finder, or you're just extremely biased, so it doesn't matter to argue. If you don't get why some don't disagree with you here and say you're a bitter fan, that's because you're "advertising" in the wrong place. Most people come to this page are either: light novel readers, or voice actor fans, well overall people who want to watch it, and not to see someone being mad about another show not being successful as if it's this one yet-to-air is the problem. At least that's how I see it, but it's pointless to argue with you, so yeah. not really. if anything most spy media is about getting that one special thing from a highly gourded place. i clearly said anime was not AS mainstream in 2017. that AS is a very important word that you clearly missed. people come to this thread for anything related to what the show. and a similar show with a similar concept is something that does relate to that audience. why in the hell would anyone recommend a show in a thread of that same show. you don't go to an anime convension trying to comvince people why anime is good. also the reason some people are angry, is because of how i worded the title. which i purposely made to be as click baity as possible, so more people can know about pripri. i don't actually get upset if thos blows up. not even a little. it just makes me wish pripri did the same even more. the title isn't a lie, but it is misleading if you don't read the whole thing. and again, that was just so more people would see it, to get that context. |

kakeguruitwinxx said: Recommendation has a recommendation section. This one is a discussion section. What you wrote is not a discussion, nor a discussion provoking statement. It's pointless to argue with you since you are so self-righteous. "Watch this, it's good" then someone says "it's not really that good, and I've watched it" and you keep on "but it's good, and you're wrong". I'm not replying to such annoying statement, so continue being bitter if that makes you feel good lol. are you blind? you can't say: " not a discussion, nor a discussion provoking statement" in a thread where a lot of discussion has happened. I mean even your tantrum about this random thread. IS discussion. it's about why you dislike the thread, but it's still discussion. I'm not self-righteous. if someone says, X show is shit because this, I can say X show isn't because that. that is the very definition of discussion. I don't just go-around telling everyone who disagrees with me "you're wrong". |
