I swear the god.. ._.
If Taichi and Inaban develops a romantic relationship I'm going to be so disappointed D:

Iori I'm for you and Taichi T_T

Tough ,don't get me wrong xD I think Inaba is really a cool and funny character , but I just can't see her with Taichi ._. Maybe it's just because I ship Taichi and Iori and she also said stuff like " you two need each other , Taichi you like Iori " so.. you snatching him away after saying those things.. I don't really appriciate it xD It makes me wonder if there'll be something like.. a School Days end? lol

Trololol, that's some confession there Taichi.

Just hearing the word "Death" in the title for the next episode already has me in chills.

Watch this episode with Iori and Inaban developments then think back about previous episode with Yui, now I don't know which pair to ship anymore.

Anyway, that's extremely good! And to think that it would exceed my HIGH expectation from previous episode, oh man.

Iori's problem is quite complex. Think back about what she said in Aoki's body about personalities makes sense. She is afraid that no one will recognize her. Taichi promised that he will always recognize her whichever body she is in. I think she was immediately testing him by speaking in masculine speech. Taichi needs to live up to his promise.

Inaban's problem is more straight forward. People not trusting others is normal. She just overthink it too much.

Taichi is a damn nice guy who can make every girls fall for him, but I feel that he is having trouble dealing with Iori's problem. One reason maybe that he is in love with her. So he is not making his moves comfortably around her.

From the symptoms Inaba was having i was able to conclude the following the reason why she collapsed was lack of sleep the other two symptoms vomiting and headache where migraine which is caused be lot's of stress.
I knew those two symptoms right away since i suffer from migraine as well as such i am also able to tell that it wasn't severe for Inaba yet.
If it was severe she would not be able to think clearly she would get a fever she would not be able to tolerate light or sound and the pain can even paralyse, i got it so bad sometimes that i couldn't even sleep all i could do was wait for it to go even nothing else.
Migraine usually last between 4 to 48 hours.
Luckily most of Inaba stress seemed to have been solved when she told her worries to the group so her chances of getting migraine again anytime soon have decreased.

That was probably the weirdest confession I've ever heard.
The part where Inaba told she used Taichi to masturbate wasn't a confession she was just saying she did the same thing he did.
How often do you think about the people you know or people you encounter that they look good for most people this happens pretty often.
And most people think about having sex with that person what it would be like those thoughts are basically what many people masturbate to.
This doesn't mean that they automatically want to engage a relationship with that person or even have sex with that person there just thinking about it.

Like the rest of their group, I didn't much care for Inaba's confession. On the other hand, Iori's issue brings up an interesting question. How much of your personality if yours, and how much of it is influence from the media and people around you? Tabula rasa, and to what extent. That aside, it feels like this is the end of assigning a trauma/secret per person. It doesn't look like the boys have any secrets, and it seems they may expand on Inaba's situation, and move on to their current dilemma of personality-switching, or the developing one involving their feelings.

Also, that transition between the preview and the ending was nice.

My son, who is twelve, has been watching this with me, though he has NOT seen this episode yet. I'm generally very open with him about sex and explain as needed with the questions as they come up, often in the context of an anime show we are watching together. I myself like to think I don't have any hangups about the topic. However...

I am not ready for him to watch this episode!

Anyway, while I thought it was an awesome episode, the part I think I liked best was the background music being played while Inaba explained to Taichi about her inability to trust anybody.

It's not so much the mature theme. He's seen scenes were sex between two characters was talked about or even implied (he watched all of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san with me, for instance) and we've talked about the basic 'mechanics' of it, but I'm not ready to talk about that specific topic

(excuse me while I go freak out)

What if after Iori jumps off the bridge and suddenly swaps bodies with someone. That would mean that she had killed a person and that she now has to live in that person's body from now on. Imagine the guilt she would have to live through.

Inaba is the best girl. Iori is a close second.

Hard to believe the original source was not a visual novel, 'cause every heroine seems worth getting ;-)
I hope Aoki won't become just a side character, currently Taichi's the big playboy^^

People masturbate while thinking about people they know. Nothing new with that. Next episode looks good. I'm just wondering if Aoki will have any relevance. Right now he just seems like a side character while the story revolves around Taichi and the three girls.

The preview left me wondering.

What happens if someone's body dies while other person soul is on them?

both body and current soul die and the swapped soul which lost it's body will stay in a body not belonging to them for evah?

or Will the swap end and the souls will reswap so they body1 dies along with soul1?

because something like: Iori jumps, while she falls blonde dude swapp with her, Iori's body die along with blond dude soul, and Iori is now trapped within blonde guy body.

A third possibility: body 1 dies, soul 2 is not attached to body 1 and thus is able to return to body 2, but soul 1 has nowhere to go and also stays in body 2.

Mind you, I don't think Iori is actually doing what the preview implies, at least, not on purpose.

what if body1 dies with soul2 stuck somewhere, and soul2 dies with body2 being a zombie :O (more tragic for both parties, but less logical).

yeah I couldn't help but feel that in the second half of the episode with inaba, it kind of felt like a conveyor belt of traumatised highschool girls all looking to fall for Taichi :O!
still I'm liking this show - although there probably is something that's been done terribly (someone always says something bad about any anime) I can't see/hear anything here.
+1 for realism as well, whilst still keeping that "sparkly" feel of slice of life, so it doesn't feel too much like a fairy tale like some other SoL shows do.

^ I agree with this as well.

I gave a little guess earlier but I just thought of this now, in the preview it said "how do you feel about Iori, Taichi?" what if after Inaba said this she switched bodies with Iori and then jumped off?
Just another guess. Though I think this one is pretty unlikely.

Indeed. So much for normal teen. This guy is a master mentalist with skills beyond those of professional hypnotherapists.

OK, being serious, it's not like their traumas are cured, he just gave them hope that it can be healed or worked around.

I hope that relationship between Taichi and Inaba will now be friendship only , otherwise this anime will become too unreal in things that it wants to be super-real and mature. Making me unable to rate it highly. Great development so far. This show really is a surprise.

It better not be serious with the name of the next episode! If Iori dies, I'm not watching anymore! I'm tired of seeing tragedy anime! I've seen too many now! Clannad, Kanon, School Days (actually that one pissed me off). Though I actually love Clannad. But I don't want anything bad happening in this one!

Anyways. I think taichi loves someone else besides iori and that escalates into her wanting to kill herself or something. What is the true color of the white knight i wonder? Maybe the fact that he likes his friends love interest (Yui) so its kind of like backstabbing idk.

Awww. TaichixInaba forever. I know he loves Nagase, but I like these two together better. I'm so happy they didn't avoid the girl masturbating topic like most animes do. (because it makes a girl less "innocent") It makes this anime really unique. Just for that, I'd bump it up a few scores :)

Kokoro Connect and Natsuyuki Rendezvous makes this season amazing! <3

And oh haha, I'm falling for Taichi too. Nice guys don't finish last after all ;)
