I feel like this series is kind of weak.
To be fair towards its production, I recognize that, by recent standards, the looks are quite refreshing.
As for the pacing, the comedy that surrounds the character interactions as well as the battles tries its best to relieve and lighten the mood.
The characterization is a bit shallow, but perhaps it is what it means to be comedic. It is a nice point that by the third episode, an effort put to thicken the plot appears. It does so while maintening a mood it sticks to with consistency in other aspects, too.

Now, as for the weakness. The main selling point, I would say, is the rare perspective given from a business environment. And it feels this is just used as an in-the-background type of canvas. Like the main charms aren't about it. Nor each episodic plot.
In the second episode, it wasn't so much the case, but as far as it's aired up till now, that is how I feel.

What about you? Do you feel otherwise, or do you agree?

I would agree honestly.

For me, there is an interest in this show for sure. The idea of running a recruitment agency for adventures? What's not to like about that?

But honestly, it just feels...Flat in some areas? While it's not a super bad show, but it doesn't feel good either in some cases. Generic and plain you could say. While I do think it's gotten better as episodes have gone on, but still kinda meh anime at the moment.

I personally think this is one of the worst shows i've ever seen and it all comes down to the writing. Besides the characters all lacking a lot (and none being at all interesting), things just don't make sense. They enter a competition that is a race with a pile of other groups, but then they just wander around as slow as possible and make a bet with another group about who will win (then continue to walk about as slow as possible), with the show just ingoring the fact that they are clearly dead last, and by an ever increasing margin the longer they stand around talking.

The questions they had to answer were also a joke. They were the most simple 'business' questions that a poorly trained monkey could answer, but everybody is making out like the MC must be some kind of amazing prodigy to be able to answer them. Also, they were multiple choice with only 3 options and seemingly no penalty for getting it wrong, since the other team got the first one wrong initially and then were right back on their tail.

I wasn't planning on watching Princess Connect Re Dive at all (nor this one initially, but figured i'd give one of the game based anime a go), but I watched the first two episodes of that last night, after Mother's Basement praised it in a recent video and mentioned that it is directed by the Konosuba director, and it is so much better than this pile of lazy nonsense for a game based fantasy show. Each of the three main girsl introduced in Princess Connect have more personality and likability after the first 2 episodes than the entire cast of this show put together.

Princess connect is worth watching so far just by how great animation is, but you shouldn't ever listen to that shill.

Overall it is weak anime on the level with Isekai Cheat Magician. Good example is that I completely forgot that I watched 3th episode only Poll on mal post remained this to me.

For example he made recently where he praised Bofuri and it's game yet about 2 years ago he made video about shitting on SAO the in-universe game as terribly made. And they are basically same shit minus death risk in first arc.

Ok I finally watched both videos made by him, still I didn't watched any SAO so can't fully elaborate about this.

But overall he never mentioned that game in Bofuri is "better" than in SAO. NWO have many similar problems as SAO(game) but two biggest difference between these games are ingame world design (NWO being more imaginative and less frustrating for new/players) and intentions behind them in which Bofuri as an anime is basically a celebration of having fun playing video games.

This show is missing good antagonists, character conflicts, relationships, and sexual tension.

But most of all...humor involving that stamper. The moment Minato got that thing I've been waiting for some foe to get their forehead or ass stamped with the Kibou Company symbol. I can't be the only one whose been waiting for this. How could they let something like that go to waste.

this anime is unironically decent at being medicore. uptight migu cameo with her attitude carries the show, so easily 10/10.
