THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It's a cute start especially with Kokkoro's sweet personality. She also has a somewhat childish behavior. The show takes place in a fantasy setting and kinda feels like living in an RPG world.

The main protagonist is kinda boring though. It seems they're focusing a lot on Kokkoro and the MC's adventure and relationship so far. It's a cute show but going to keep expectations kinda low for now.

As much as I adored the game for past two years, this episode was a disappointment.

Can't tell if it's a good thing yet, but it focused on events outside of early events in the game or manga, which are virtually the same--which in turn means there was no meaningful plot. Also, no intrigue left, except for a beautiful flashback scene that barely took 5 seconds.

The tempo is ridiculous, and if you know nothing of the game, you would barely be able to makes sense of what the hell is this world at all, and what to expect of the plot. If you do, in fact, know the contents of the game, you can't help but notice that every character acts like a comedic idiot for no specific reason.

I assure you that the plot and the characters are incredible in the original work, but I'm not sure what to expect of the anime version. I'll keep my hopes up, especially after learning that this, in fact, comes from the director of KonoSuba.

Time will tell.

Kokkoro is just, precious!
The art did justice.
Not going to expect any plot here, I just need more of their daily life. The ingame story wasn't enough (even though there's plenty already).
I like how they made the MC accurate to the game, also the jokes!
Though it might be quite hard for people who haven't play the game, but taste is subjective anyway, for me I enjoyed it so much.

I kind of like the comical idiocy of most of the episode, especially from Pecorine. You also have to remember this is for the fans (and yeah I seen this coming and it's a reoccurring theme with late 2010's mobile adaptations, I mean not many people if anyone asked for this that aren't fans of the game or the characters, think Kancolle).

Strange direction for a first episode. Being a continuing player of the gacha, it actually barely alluded to the start of the story that was in the gacha. Looks like we will end up just getting it as a series of flashbacks.

Oddly enough, this felt more like playing a gacha than watching an anime (backwards from Priconne which feels more like watching an anime than playing a gacha).

Here are some basic enemies->This is how you fight them.
This is gold->This is how you use gold.
Here is where you get jobs.

The comic bits were alright, not sure how I feel about Kokkoro's :X face though.

I do have to admit one thing though-
That was some really high budget grass.

Princess Knight is just a name. There's a lot of cool stuff going on in the original story which I'm not going to touch. Let's hope they recover from this disaster of an episode.

Otherwise I agree with everyone whose opinion is "WTF did I just watch" and "Why is everyone mentally handicaped".

This is most certainly not following the original flow.

This is the garbagiest pile of feces i ever had the displeasure of watching....What the fuck was it?

The protagonist is a special needs kid, the white haired girl is the most annoying character i have ever seen in a long time, no wonder she would be desperate to tag along with the special needs kid and immediately suck up to him, i think he is the only one that can afford to suffer her presence in this world. When this show tries to be funny, it makes you cringe instead.

I honestly want to give a +1 score to every show on my list, soo this pile of garbage can be the only one with a score of 1.

Lol, I thought it was pretty funny. Everyone acting stupid and being so random added to it. Of course course it only works because this anime is playing it straight. And Kokkoro is a cutie.

So far I don't see a reason to stop watching.

There are a lot of problems with the story: 1. too many female warriors. Unless you have a different system to procreate like in one anime were they are born from a tree, you cannot have so many women having life threatening occupations or occupations that might cause them to miss the fertility window. That is why modern world is dying.
2.the two thieves act really unmanly
3.what man eats crepes?
4. even if one loses his memories he will not revert to the age of a toddler

Also while I am honored for you looking at my profile I am curious what from it made you say this type of anime is my kryptonite. I have a varied list of anime including seinen shojo shounnen and others. There are two things I hate in anime: extremely unrealistic settings and anime that try to feed you propaganda.

As expected from CygamesPictures, this looks really good. This was one of the shows I was most looking forward to this season, not because I played the game, but because I liked what I saw of the girls in the PVs, especially Pecorine, and I must say that this first episode delivered, it was super fun!

I'm so in love with Pecorine, she's so gorgeous... and there's so much boing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Both Pecorine and Kokkoro are so cute <3

Freaking wolves lol.

So many waifus at the end... I want an English version of the game xD. Looking forward to the next episodes.

As someone who knew the game existed, but otherwise has seen zero game play of it, I had an enjoyable time with this first episode.

I went in with low expectations, so that probably helped. This probably isn't something to praise the episode for, but having our main boy be mostly mute and express through body language was cute and a breath of fresh air from common tropes. Does this provide any substance other than being different? Probably not, but I'll take it.

The slapstick humor and colorful visuals made for a pleasant, relaxed experience. The characters mostly have their heads in the clouds, but if that's going to be consistent with the world, or a source of humor, then it shouldn't be much of a problem. Seems like this will be the more wholesome equivalent of Konosuba at this rate.

The self-insert character is way too dumb and the setting is beyond generic. I never played the game. I saw some good Momochi fanart, which was the reason why I had any interest in watching this, if she isn't the cutest thing ever this will be a very easy drop.

I have the same sentiment as you. It makes me wonder if they'll do an original story because of this. I hope not because the story from the game was really good and well done so I'll keep an eye out for future episodes. Though people would really not understand the story much especially when Re:Dive is a sequel of Princess Connect! (2016 game) which is a shame.

Honestly i only want to watch it because its isekai, i despise harems or at least harems where the mc does not feel attraction towards anyone. The colors are amazing to look at but the story just seems retarded. Probably the only thing i really liked in episode one was the wolves. I dont know if the mc will ever regain his memories (he might have at the end) but its hard to watch for me considering the other two isekais that started airing this month which i enjoyed watching way more.

I will watch this only for the animation and the fan-service, the pacing is really poor and the direction disappointed me a little, taking into account that this is the same director who worked in Konosuba. Anyway, Pecorine is best girl and I would love to rest on her breasts while she eats.

I think is a better way to introduce the characters than Azure Lane did. Just take it slowly, there are enough episodes left to explore the world and introduce more characters. and there will be enough time to learn more about the past, I'm certain about that. (even though I know nothing about the game)

Tbh I didn't know this is an adaptation of a game, it was fine, seems like the typical adventurers world / isekai, unlucklily for me seems like it will be an harem? The ending shows like 30 different girls. And if it's hard for me to watch an harem with 5 possible romances then if this turns out with more than 2 (since this isn't a romance anime) it will be a no watch from me. And another problem are the mentality of the characters, a lot of people already said it, but are they babies? The comedy makes Kokoro look stupid if she isn't already, the main character well, for now isn't doing anything but can't even talk?? and the other girl is just stupid with no brain at all.
I am going to give it a try because the animation-colors are great and the main boy looks cute.

Played the game a for a little bit in JP so i couldn't really speak for the actual story since it mainly seemed like light hearted fluff from what i played for a cute girl gacha collecting rpg with very high productions since it's cygames and i play a ton of their parent game gbf.

taking the mostly mute MC approach just like the game can honestly just pretend this new born baby doesn't exist

Anime adaptations of smartphone games aren't exactly known for their high quality, but I still believe in giving them a fair chance instead of automatically dismiss them for whatever reason. The visuals are amazing, the music is beautiful and the vocal performances are incredible, but the story is non-existent and the characters themselves are bit bland and unoriginal. I don't really like the fact that Yuuki can only speaks in broken sentences, so I hope that changes over the course of the series, if only to showcase some character development.

Much like Konosuba, the show indulges in subversive and wacky humor, the kind of humor that quickly introduces some comedic element into an otherwise serious and dramatic moment. Unlike Konosuba, however, the main characters aren't selfish jerks, they are genuinely good people who care about each and just try to make the most out of a bad situation, so at least the show has that going for it.

All in all, this wasn't the best way to start the show, but it could have been worse. While the production values are nice, the show will ultimately stand or fall by the strength of its characters and narrative, so hopefully, these things will improve as the show continues. I'm not expecting much from this show but it could be fun.
