Ah ye, the inevitable beach episode. Characters looked cute in their swimsuits but I think Karyl had the best reactions with the others trying to play with her.

Glad to see plenty of characters show up, even those outside of the main cast including Saren, Suzume, etc. Very fun episode. Looks like there's even a bit of rivalry heh.

Growing rice in the morning is tiring and makes you hungry, how surprised Kyaru when opening the door to see his party friends are getting ready to go to the beach. I thought there was something at night that it turned out that Kokkoro only wanted to show swimsuits, how stupid they were to learn swimming on the floor, lol.

They are very cute wearing swimsuits, princess splash is big waves, lol. Pekorina seems very happy to tease Kyaru, I can't believe that they can't swim, xD.



Taiyaki seems delicious, many new characters have appeared but look at this one HimeDere girl, lol. Pekorina seems to have a big stomach, that much food she can finish quickly, lol.

A gift from Kyaru is an ability to breathe underwater? the scenery at the bottom of the sea is amazing, Kokkoro is incredible, this is an amazing episode .... diving is indeed a good activity.

“What do you think? If it isn’t to your liking their compliments mean little” Yuki: “mhm” lol

A very wholesome and cute beach episode. Some really nice kokoro and yuki moments and of course it’s always nice to see pecorine in a swimsuit. The squid fight scene was nicely animated and led to a good meal at the end. Great episode :) can’t believe we’re already 9 weeks in!

What's a show without some subservient fanservice, and to the beach the Gourmet Guild goes, thanks to Kokkoro's "luck"!

I mean, Yuuki's a guy, so trying to impress him while being all tsundere about it is very normal (at least for the kuudere Koro-ster). And other than Pecorine and Yuuki, Koro-ster and Karyl cannot swim...

And of course, others have to join in the fun a.k.a. Susume and Saren. To think that even on the beach there's rivalry on food (to see other side characters also on the wayside) To add fuel to the fire, all that pressure went STRAIGHT to the easily angered Karyl...so, challenge accepted. That sea cucumber though...

Never in an episode where the side characters got their ambient screentime as much as possible, it's a good mix of characterization.

Adding the excitement though, there's always the pervertic squid/octopus, and this is leaps different (all thanks without the pervert sense, which is refreshing).

Quite a fun, charming and relaxing episode, NGL. Smiles upon my face this time.

Only the last quarter to go, and wondering what's left to milk.

I swear, how can a "mhm" be enough of a compliment.. I would praise the living shit out of these girls! They all looked so damn cute in their swimsuits!!

I love how most of the group didn't know how to swim!!

Interesting to know why Pecorine is so strong, who would have thought her armour holds so many bonusses!! To think the reason why she becomes hungry so quickly lies with the armour she wears XD

Great to see Suzume and Saren again as well! I swear this whole scenario on the beach with those food huts is like Shokugeki all over again from the start of this season XD

Overall a really nice episode, loved it, especially the end in the ocean due to Karyl's spell!

Ah yes, we get a beach episode for this week's episode and all the girls looked good in their swimsuits. Even when Pecorine is not wearing any armor she's still strong as hell. Of course it wouldn't be a beach episode without a tentacle monster.

I like Princess Connect! Re:Dive, I really do, it's just that I think that the show's episodic formula and reliance on comedy can often work to the show's detriment. What do I mean with that? We have already passed the show's halfway mark and we're no closer to understanding Yuuki's past or Karyl's mission than we were back when the show's started. Don't get me wrong, the show's character writing and production values are beautiful, but I feel like the show is dragging its feet when it comes to the main story. That said, it's not something that will make me drop the show and I still enjoy it.

Fishing for compliments in a swimsuit is always cringy af.

Had still some cute parts, but overall just an okayish at best beach episode.

I can't imagine my monday nights without this anymore, it's just so relaxing! I'm glad that they didn't go the "dirty joke" route even though they had the chance to do this more than twice throughout the episode.

The last scene was breathtaking and so was the OST during the Kraken fight

kokkoro's way too cute. The scene where she shows Yuuki her swimsuit is pure diabetes.

Speaking of Yuuki, I wish he wasn't that stupid. Being like that allows him to have really funny moments but there are times when I wish he'd act more normal.

Pecorine's Pecorines looked disproportionately huge in the introduction scene of her swimsuit lol... Man, she's so hot! xD

Very interesting to know that her powers come from her armor and from what we saw, her tiara.

Embarrased pouty Karyl <3

That childhood friend <3

The last scene was beautiful.

nice! in a way this feels like a Kokkoro episode. ^^
hmm, she's not familiar with swimsuit. Well, but her princess costume already sort of looks like a swimsuit at the top. That underwater scene at the end was simply beautiful, looks like this anime is going the Kokkoro route?

Karyl alone planting rice in the fields, didn't expect her to take it seriously. Good cat. :)

And of course, nice to see vice captain Saren and her maid again. Some new girls introduced as well.

Hmm, i don't really understand why the anime change the reasoning for them to go to beach into getting prize for lottery, instead of Karin give them vacation's ticket because they have done a lot of quests, n masking the intention to exterminate the kraken, as its making a lot more sense that way..

Also it felt a little bit forced to introduce Mercurius Foundation in a beach episode, furthermore Mifuyu get very little line of dialogue...

Well, the anime finally revealed the secret behind Pecorine's strength, n pecorine is still so strong in this episode because she is still wearing the tiara, which is part of the Royal Equipment set..

Ayumi's cameo is easy to find as it's just in the beginning of episode

And finally next episode will introduce the best n most beloved Priconne character: Pudding-chan \^_^/

Funny beach ep, without unnecessary ecchi stuff, just the usual cuteness is enough.
I think there was a slight drop of quality in a couple of scenes (in the lines and the faces), not so bad, but enough to notice it because it contrasted with the rest of the scenes, and with the show's quality in general. I can't complain, they've been delivering so far.

Unfortunately they never would've been able to cover the main story with just 12 episodes anyway. If the show does well enough we will probably get a second season, who knows though when that will be.

It's actually 13 episodes. We'll still have to see the BD sales to know if it'll have a season 2. Considering some of the add-ons on the BDs though....

Although it's fun to watch. I must say we're getting really close to ep 12. There's not enough time for them to even go back the main route of the story like the game. To begin with, the anime had branch off and took a difference path since ep 1 with the chill and relax tone.
At this rate, it just gonna SoL feel from beginning to end. I'm guessing that's probably KonoSuba staffs' intention to begin with in order to promote the game.

You forgot at the very least Carmina and Kaon. Not sure if Weissflugel (not counting Ayumi) and Lucent appeared in the first episode montage, couldn't remember. Unfortunately Nakayoshi-bu likely won't appear this season.

I also doubt Twinkle Wish will actually appear in a way that isn't flashbacks. Nightmare, Diabolos and Labyrinth technically all had guest appearances before, though... Diabolos is also almost certainly the focus of next episode.

they might skip introducing Kaon (and Labirynth as well) for starting Main story, just my theory though..(I completed watching first act of main story of the game btw..)

Well once you get to like the third act at least or further that shouldn't be a problem.

A few more thoughts on the episode..

catgirl tired from working at the farm, go home to see everyone preparing to go the beach. xD

even without the lewdness // ecchi stuff usually associated with beach episodes, the show is still fun.

Kyaru is sexy in shorts! :3

looking forward to next week. :)

This is the ultimate otaku fantasy. Now you can imagine having a harem, but the main character is an empty vessel so you don't have to bother with another male presence. You don't have to hear a male voice. You can safely insert yourself in his position.

Here, have some free magic for ... doing nothing. This time it's breathing under water. More wish fulfilment coming up.

"But since meeting you, my lord, I've seen far, far more glorious sights than I ever imagined back then."

What? He isn't doing anything. It's doubtful if he even knows how to clean himself or wipe his ass after using the bathroom, or if they have to do that for him too.

The KonoSuba staff are really milking their earlier success. If it wasn't for that anime, this anime wouldn't be noticed at all.

This is some bitter truth but you realized that only after episode 9? This is the kind of comment I was expecting at episode 1 or 2.

And about how "this anime would't be noticed at all'', what about players of the game this anime is based on, who just want to see their beloved characters in action, or what about people who don't self-insert themselves into a story at all?
