THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- ![]() Lol, the boys are trying to stir up trouble by actually taking advantage of the body swap. Clever. Some tense drama and history reminiscence later Overall, great episode. Modified by Stark700, 07-21-12, 11:23 AM |

I liked a lot how the stripping in the following, ![]() proceeded. It was fun. However the real deal start in the half point episode. That is of the following, ![]() Now that was totally not cool seeing Yui cry like that on her bed. Totally not of her at all. What really did make up is her resolving it with Taichi in the spoiler Add to that the aftermath in the spoiler About thee end of the episode, well I certainly went OMG Inaba! NOOOOOOOOO! In the spoiler Kokoro Connect is becoming much more dramatic and nice. It certainly shows resolves being done nicely. Might edit later. Modified by Yumekichi11, 07-21-12, 9:12 AM |

Hmmm, I wonder if Yui will like Taichi more than Aoki. I sort of feel bad for Aoki. I still think Inaba is right. All of the switching will eventually hurt of few of them. |

This show is surprisingly good. I really thought that with the whole personality swapping business that this show would turn out to be some crappy fanservice filled comedy, but it's pretty much the opposite. It seems that I was pretty much right on Yui's issues (it was obvious) and it was hilarious how the solution to her problems was to let her in on every man's weakness, doubly so when Taichi switched back in the middle of it. Though I'm really interested in Aoki's problems, Inaba said that she has hte biggest problems out of all of them but I just can't think of what that could possibly be. Great episode 5/5. I really hope this stay's as strong as it is becuase this could become one of my summer favorites. |

Same here :) This is one of those series that surprised me and loving the drama without the fan-service right now. Hope it can keep it up. |

Great episode! Hopefully there's an Inaba-filled episode next. She's my favourite character. /人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人\ Make a contract with me... /人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人\ |

Really interesting episode. We got the chance to learn more about Kiriyama, which felt really nice to me. Can't wait for next ep to see what happened with Inaba though. ![]() |

I thought Yui's phobia was related to violence but almost rape is pretty shocking luckily she managed to get away. And about Taichi's advice it's the same advice i would have given a kick in the nuts seriously hurts allot and even paralyses a guy for a moment. It's decently the most effective way to fend of a guy. Tho i have to say that Taichi is a brave guy for doing that to his own body. The conversation between Inaba and Taichi was pretty interesting after last weeks cliffhanger i hope Taichi realises a bit more about Iori's feelings now and maybe there will be some romance between them in future episodes can't wait to be honest. The cliffhanger looked pretty bad as well hope everything will be alright for Inaba. This brings to mind one question tho was her collapse due to the body swapping or due to something else it could be from stress or not being able to sleep but there could be more behind it. Can't wait till the next episode. ![]() |

Excellent episode! The blend of drama and comedy works really well here once again. Yui's struggles were very nicely developed and concluded. Inaba and Taichi remain my favorite characters, so I'm hoping for a bit of eventual romance between them, although it seems to be headed toward a potential triangle. Can't wait for the next episode. Really loving this show so far. Each episode has been an improvement over the last. |

I know this is just PG-13, but there is a surprising lack of groping. I mean they are teenagers right? Anyways as for the falling at the end of the episode, could it just be that the person who switched with her was just sleeping or something? |

Awesome episode. I felt the kick a little, not going to lie. When she was throwing punches, I flinched also..... |

This just keeps getting better, i loved how it managed to go from drama to comedy so smoothly. Another great thing is that androphobia bussiness probably won't be all that relevant anymore, series tend to drag on with this kind of thing. Now what's up with Inaban? レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |

This episode did a really good job of balancing comedy with drama. I think Inaba's right about Iori being the most troubled one of them all. In shows such as these, it's usually the one who always smiling who has the most serious issues. It's official. Guren no Yumiya is the Japanese version of Guile's theme. |

Wow, this is really damn good.I feel bad for Aoki...i mean Taichi already got 2 girls interested in him (Iori and Inaba), and now even the girl Aoki likes started to be close with Taichi >_> sucks so much. I wonder what's going on in Iori head. 5/5. ![]() |

That was good. Inaba was annoying me in the beginning of the episode, then she had to go and make me feel bad by collapsing at the end. |

Just watching the previews is already giving me the feels. This is totally what I expected in this series. Totally can't wait for the potential love triangle. I can't even choose between Inaba and Iori. |

I already got the feeling that Iori might be the most unstable one out of the bunch as Inaba pointed out though I was surprised that she noticed it. It's good to see that this series shifts away from the crude echii hijinls to more serious matters though the drama still lacks impact for me which is partly because of the half-baked directing. |
