In a nutshell
The series takes place in an unknown world, Yuuki is awakened by a mysterious Goddess only to find out that he is sent in another world to uncover the truth and return his memory. What secret is hidden from Yuuki and will he manage to return his memory?
Cliché Storyline That Works
Truth be told, after seeing President, It's Time for Battle! this season, anything connected with a game adaptation would be enough to make me moody, but, as a fan of Cygames I just could not miss any of their adaptations. You might have thought that this synopsis sounds way too familiar and you will be right to think so. I did my little research on the game and it does sound somewhat interesting, I must say. The main genre of the series, as I see it, is comedy. Of course, seeing nothing but comedy would be boring, so the show also has something to offer to the viewer. What I am trying to say is that the protagonist has an aim to return his memory and there is a reason why he should do that; this is what this series is about. It is worth mentioning that when making a comedy, there should be a balance in everything. Making something the viewers will find funny requires one hell of an amazing talent and this series is quite funny.
Eye Candy You Want To Never End
Art wise, Cygames is famous for its amazing visuals. Action scenes look amazing and it is quite difficult to comprehend that what you are watching is not an action, but mainly a comedy centered anime. There are not that many characters, but they look so beautiful: their eyes, every small feature about them, their clothes and just everything looks very cool. This is the pure definition of an eye candy.
OST Many Series Will Be Jealous Of
Sound wise, I do not know what to say. The OST is great, it is so enjoyable that you never want it to end. It helps the viewer to appreciate the series even more and dive into the world of Princess Connect! Re:Dive. In addition to this, the voice actors also did a great job, voicing this series.
Likable Characters
Character wise, you have the main male protagonist Yuuki. He does not remember anything to the point that he does not understand such concepts as money; he is like a child that does not know anything about the world. But one thing is obvious, he is very kind. Kokkoro, is the devoted Yuuki’s servant. She believes in her God and her task as her God’s servant is to assist Yuuki in every way possible. The problem is, however, she is as inexperienced as Yuuki and it always involves comedy. And there is also Pecorine. She is the best part of the show. With the strength of the Gods and the appetite of a glutton, she is a very likable character.
Criticism
Princess Connect! Re: Dive is a comedy, do not think about it as some serious isekai, this might be the reason for you to hate the series. And as a comedy this series is quite good and sometimes makes you go LOL. I had so much fun, watching this series. What is more, it has an amazing OST and animation. What more would you need?
All in all, highly recommended for all Konosuba fans. While I do admit that this anime is not on Konosuba level, but it is quite an amazing comedy that it is sometimes so random. On top of that, there is a story, it makes sense, the visuals are amazing, as well as the OST. This is how you advertise a game, after seeing such a great series, I will surely check the game. Great work, Cygames!
