"What the gently caress is Princess Connect?" It's a show directed by the Konosuba guy where a bunch of idiots make a guild about finding and eating gourmet dishes in a fantasy world. That's all you need to know to jump in.

Its surprising how well animated some of these scenes are. Like the art is simple but its really fluid and colorful

Just watched the first episode of this, and the Konosuba energy in this is incredible. And I find Yuuki and Kokkoro's dynamic very cute.

Also I'm getting a sense that all of these characters are kind of invincible, despite them getting repeatedly owned in various ways, which is important because they are already my precious children and I don't want to see them get hurt

So is Pecorine from a far away land or is this one of those nobody knows what their princess looks like situations?

not sorry


edit: show is cute, the production quality is a bit of a contrast compared to what i saw of konosuba, especially since they share some visual design styling. i appreciate how they kept the 'D&D campaign but everyone has 3 INT' setup but it's on the lawful good corner instead of chaotic evil

i also can't help but read 'astraea' as 'straya

So just started episode 1 and I feel like it is gonna be revealed that Yuuki is actually a dog in a human body going off how he acts and doesn't speak in full sentences.

EDIT: After episode 3 I feel like a good way to sum this show up is that it is like Konosuba is the characters were all earnest, well intentioned, hyper competent idiots. Except for Yuuki, who is more just the team large dumb dog. He is there for moral support and to be the mascot of them more than anything else. Like the most mean member of the group is Kyarl, and she is just trying to hide how much she likes them because cat.

Honestly I've been kind of disappointed after 1. 2 and 3 have way fewer jokes that really land for me, although "the hero instantly gets stomped whenever they fight" is always good.

The thing with Yuuki in this for me is that him being so earnest and trying so hard but still always instantly getting stomped or falling on his face makes it more entertaining than if he was a blowhard who was constantly getting their comeuppance. Just the hero of legend is a very sweet boy who is trying his hardest but really can only accomplish getting hit and buffing those around him.

The thing with Konosuba's gang of idiots is that, other than Aqua, they aren't outright stupid. Darkness is at least average, and Kazuma and Megumin are actually pretty bright.

They're just too caught up in their own brands of bullshit to show anything resembling common sense most of the time.

(I also wouldn't say they were evil. Just assholes. There's a difference.)

Gotta say, this has an incredibly solid setup by mobage anime standards. Just an enlightened bodhitsattva, her archnemesis girlfriend, and her two cute-but-dim disciples going around bringing out the best from people with weird but delicious food.

Yuuki's characterisation is brilliant. He's the viewpoint character of a mobage, seen from the outside.

This is a common phenomenon. For more information, please consult the documentary Kemono Friends.

Probably an animation error in this case. I know that in the Granblue anime that sometimes erune characters would have the double ears. Unless we do go the Kemono Friends route of having like a scientific document explaining how the characters can have two sets of ears and why their tails sometimes can clip through their clothing.

If it's animation error it's one they're making a lot as there are multiple scenes you can see her human ears.

Maybe she isn't actually a catperson and just using magic to give herself catears and a tail.

So after watching the episode, man, Cygames money continues to impress for the animation budget of this. Also Yuuki is still a surprising part of the show for me in that he is in a constant state of trying his best and doesn't feel like a stand in MC. He has no brains and no muscles but a whole lot of care and is adorable for it.
