Princess Connect! Re:Dive Review

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 10 - Does not have enough beyond Kokoro.

Watch only if absolutely nothing better. I dropped after episode 5.

The only redeeming thing about this anime is Kokoro, but she alone is not enough to salvage this show.

I do wonder if "Re:" in title suggests that it was made by creators of Re:Zero. The show has a rather dormant male MC who hardly talks and sometimes suffers some misfortunes, even at the hands of heroines' negligence, yet occasionally wakes up to save them from some danger.

As for 3 main heroines we have the most unlikable of catgirls tsundere who complains all the time, somewhat energetic but negligent orange haired girl and finally Kokoro who sometimes cares for male MC and makes sure he would not die.

They occasionally got supplemented by even more unlikable women, some of whom this show tried hard to sell us, like that girl from episode 5. She is the reason I ultimately dropped it.

Overall, it combines colorful art with rather unsavory world where people will not hesitate to just fuck up your life on a whim. Not a wish fulfilling place, which is an issue for a waifu harem show. I do not want shows to normalize this kind of things.

The show has not particular story to tell either, which is possibly for the best as I would not trust a story from Re:Zero creators to be a compelling one.

Overall, this is not worth your time.
