There’s been a lot of mystery surrounding Yuuki and where he came from and seemingly this episode reveals he comes from another world on top of there being a time-loop!

So either this is the past of Yuuki's original world/life or what I feel is a world with video game mechincs or a straight-up video game. No way you reveal people close to him in modern-day clothes and bugs of the system and not have my mind race. This is going to be fun to speculate on in the coming episodes.
I'm excited for how the anime goes with the story after this episode. And finally I've seen one of my favourite characters animated! She was unfortunately cut in the first season so seeing her here is really fun.
What I imagine is happening is that Yuki is from our world but some event (tragic or not) brought him to this digital world where some people are a reflection of the people he knew IRL. Don’t know why he might be stuck on this time loop tho,but it’s for sure something from the fox girl since she has shown internet in Yuki and Pecorine. The girls taking care of the system also seem to know him really well,so they might be from his real world too.
Hands down the best Princess Connect episode
It's scary to know that they already failed once and that this is pretty much a reset as if this is all a game, oh wait(mobile gacha). Pecorine facing off against the one who stole everything from her was a huge moment that was a rollercoaster of determination, fear, and then determination again. Pecorine hugging Karyl at the end was so wholesome, but we know Karyl feels a bit of guilt for her friend being teleported away. In the end they won, but sadly so did the villain.
Don't know if you noticed that Yuuki wrote his name in part in japanease on the Quest complition form in S1 and Karyl said he shouldn't just make scribbles if he doesn't know the letters
Maybe this is crazy talk but I wonder if Kaiser Insight is self-aware that their world is a game of some sort since there are those bugs and whatnot and is using that to her advantage to potentially not lose. Would be interesting to see if she is actually aware of it
Peco Was good
This felt like a finale and it was episode 5?! I liked all the story content but if I was anime only I think I might have been too confused. I'm glad you enjoyed it though
Poor kiiri
Yuuki just lying there with a hole in his chest crying really hurt.
Lots of world building and explanation this episode. Seems like Yuki chose to retry. It does seem like a virtual world or some time loop. I love Goddess Labyrinth and her voice actor. Apparently Christina’s birthday is February 7 according to an ad I saw somewhere. It’s good to see Yuki growing and remembering as a character since season 1 since it was worrisome if he would remain the same since the very first episode of this series so he’s a player self insert. Also seems like the body of one of the goddesses or admins was taken. I hope Karyl leaves her master. This week has been a feast for the eyes in regards to animation.
Also funny enough I watched this one hanime where the twist was the fantasy world is actually a virtual world after humanity has gone close to extinction and poverty and how there’s some sort of quest and stuff funny enough lol. Just found that funny
Can't wait for the big reveals because that was one of the major reasons why I like priconne so much and how the first battle connects with the second
I love the contrast of fluff and darker themes here. It reminds me of Elaina the Wandering Witch from I think about a year ago.
I swear this feel like a season finale with how this and last episode felt. With like 7 or 8 still left. I wonder where we go next, I can't wait
Yep you are on right track, this is actually a very complex and interesting story but won't spoil anything cause its better to learn it firsthand as anime reveals the whole plot. Most people will probably take this anime as average fantasy title with cute girls circling around the pathetic protagonist but there is so much more to it than that. First season is very slow paced because its mostly to introduce most of the characters and this explains why lot of the viewers practically spit on it and don't take it seriously but in this one Cygames Pictures have a bit more direct approach, excluding the first episode and they are starting to hint some of the key points in this story. You will see when they reveal what is actually going on here. 🙂
and people called this a "lighthearted konosuba" honestly at this point i feel like it easilly is outperforming konosuba. it started out as a light comedy but its becoming more than that , i still love konosuba but its far less serious obviously.
Not gonna reveal much but I can confirm that the anime is connected to the game lore. If you wanted to know more of this series play the game. We are still waiting for the chapter 12-15 to come out
My theory being yuuki is either the subject of an experiment for an online game with characters he imagined from real life or one of those isekais where protagonist died in real life and offered a new life in a game he was fond of that ended up being corrupted for one reason or another
So nice to see how in-depth you go its inspiring really enjoyed your video i started off as someone who only watched season 1 to learn there was a game to play said game and im loveing season 2 this episode was incredible and i cant wait to see more this season i agree definitely a once in a life time animes Princess connect re dive is one of my favourite franchises if the anime came out i never would of discovered it nor its community looking forward to more of your thoughts and anyalis as more episodes come out i saw your magia record ones too they were also really good in that one thoe i watched madoka and then played magia record
The past two episodes were amazing in different ways. I love how they managed to throw a huge and epic fight at us and then come right back with this story heavy episode. Not that the second episode didn't have great action since it was still really good looking. But there was so much to dig into for this one. Yuuki's past was interesting and the flashbacks just gave so much to dig into. That was just utterly terrible seeing Yuuki take that hit, everyone freaking out (especially Pecorine and Kokkoro) and then the whole time loop element. Just wow.
And then you have the loss of Kiiri and how Yuuki/Kasumi don't know that she's been preserved on some level. Instead they had to take in that loss, pick themselves up and keep going. Pecorine as well was absolutely heroic in her own right. She still hates this person and can't forgive them. But she's still able to try and understand. Even if that's rejected, she's showing how much better than her enemy she is.
Although to be fair that enemy was free to kidnap Pecorine, capture the girl in the golem, and hasn't been inconvenienced at all. Her plans are still unfolding.
I am very interested in the lore of Princess Connect Redive. Once this episode hit, that did ti to me!
This anime has definitely surprised me
