Princess Connect! Re: Dive / Princess Link: Re-Dive

About what: The main character wakes up in an unknown world without a memory of the past. And then he meets amazing girls and tries to solve a grand mystery.

What do we think: An anime based on a mobile game for girls who want to taste a fairy tale. The first series was frightened by a poor production, because of which the plot is very difficult to understand. Apparently, you have to play the game. Well, the very dubious motivation of the characters does not add to the project positive.

Expectation Rating: 1.5 / 5
