Princess Connect! Re:Dive

Yuuki wakes up in the bright, fantastical realm of Astraea with no memory of who he is. A quiet guide named Kokkoro takes him under her care and introduces him to Pecorine, an eternally hungry knight, and Karyl, a sharp-tongued cat-eared mage. The four form the Gourmet Guild, taking on jobs, hunting monsters and chasing delicious meals while their friendships grow. Episodes swing between action, comedic set pieces and quieter moments that reveal character, as Yuuki slowly reconnects with fragments of his past. The show keeps its central mysteries restrained, preferring to let daily life and group dynamics carry the story rather than rush toward big reveals.

Released in 2020, Princess Connect! Re: Dive was created by Takaomi Kanasaki and adapted from Cygames' mobile game. The TV adaptation expanded the game’s scenarios into animated battle sequences, character episodes and musical interludes, bringing the cast to a larger, international anime audience.

The show didn't collect major industry awards or high-profile nominations. It found most recognition in fan polls and community rankings rather than at mainstream ceremonies, and it earned steady praise within niche anime circles and online streaming charts without breaking into major awards season attention.

It built a lively fan community, inspiring fan art, cosplay and running catchphrases across social feeds. The core trio of Pecorine, Kokkoro and Karyl became especially popular, spawning character merchandise and collaborations, and the series helped increase interest in the original mobile game among viewers outside the game's initial audience.

Reception has been mixed to favorable, averaging 6.8/10 from 47 votes, with viewers praising the ensemble voice cast, upbeat music and the chemistry between characters, while some reviewers pointed to slow pacing and recurring fanservice as drawbacks. The series balances fantasy action with slice-of-life humor, and its themes center on friendship, food, identity and the small pleasures that glue an unlikely group together.
