So... Princess Connect! Re: Dive It's nothing like Konosuba. Can we stop saying it's like Konosuba? Because it's not like Konosuba. And that's a good thing obviously Konosuba is trash obviouslyPermalink On twitter.com

I'm not sure what it is about weebs that makes them especially bad at media analysis, but everyone and their moms keep telling me this show is the next Konosuba. The tone is different, the style of comedy is different, the subject matter of the jokes are different.Permalink On twitter.com

The pacing is different. Like remember when I wrote about parody comedy isekai? Princess Connect isn't even one of those it employs exactly 0 irony whereas irony is required for Konosuba. (long story, read essay, bluh)Permalink On twitter.com

I guess by this logic, any isekai with a comedic element is Konosuba because Konosuba invented... jokes? I'm not sure what logic these people are running on. Konosuba didn't invent comedy it invented creepily justifying sexual abuse lmao.Permalink On twitter.com

Not only does Princess Connect look better than Konosuba, it tells actual jokes that require effort instead of leaning into character archetypes. It adores its characters and it wants you to like them too. It's actually enjoyable to watch instead of making you want to kill your-Permalink On twitter.com

Princess Connect isn't a super smart or sophisticated show, but a lot of its most popular criticisms kinda suggest the people criticizing don't understand the show. Which is hilarious to me. It's not Shakespeare or anything.Permalink On twitter.com

Like, for example, people will say "the show is all filler" because, say, the 1st episode and the 5th aren't connected. But the show is episodic. It goes 2 episodes per story segment. Why would an episodic show be connected with a plot like a serial show would?Permalink On twitter.com

Or people will complain about the MC, who's borderline mute, but it's kind of obvious he's supposed to be a silent RPG protagonist, who wanders around only really answers questions when asked. Also the story isn't really about him? The girls get the meat of the attentionOn twitter.com

Honestly I think they're just upset they can't project themselves onto Yuuki like they can with Kazuma. Not saying the show is perfect but these kids of criticism criticize what the show isn't instead of what it is.Permalink On twitter.com
