Whenever I see little flashbacks of the first princess connect story, it makes me wish cygames made an anime based on the original princess connect instead of an alternate timeline of princess connect re: dive that could've been prevented had Yuuki pushed on a bit further after being defeated, especially since I can't get access to the original version of princess connect.
There were many repetitions (reset), so one of the lost one the anime does, in most of all Mana (Kaiser) defeat the party but she lost later (will not do more spoilers)
The beginning of the 2nd game shows why he couldn't just try harder (rei and hiyori died, and yuuki basically sacrificed himself to save yui), and even then the OG game had different endings, and he dies in some. Even then, the 2nd game reveals that yui's wish to save yuuki went on to cause more problems, and mana wasn't exactly 100% (more like 95% though) evil
tldr the princess connect anime takes place after the 2nd timeline reset that was caused when the MCs original team were killed by the villain from the 2015 game
The anime doesn't mention the game well (mobile game being original source story) but basically the villian won in his past world or timeline as a result he lost his memories hence why the second world he is in now Called Re:Dive he got a second chance to make sure that doesn't happen again
@@anfanger6051 in the original, they beat and reach teh end of the tower but Yui wish ends as a monkey paw that puts MC into basically Subaru RbD situation and resets the game world at the same time that they get memories altered to think they always lived in that world, there its when comes Re;Dive, anime takes after another failed attempt to beat Mana during the Re;dive game
