I'm slowly regaining my faith in this season, this was a solid first episode, though it's going to be hard for me to keep track of character's names if they are going to switch often. I like Inaban a lot and enjoyed the jokes, looks promising, please don't disappoint! 4/5.

All the sexual jokes kinda got irritating. Hopefully it tones down a bit in the next episode.

Seems like an average SoL, but hopefully this whole genderbender idea makes it worthwhile. It's always nice to have a few shows that you can just sit back, relax, and laugh at. Looks like this'll be one of 'em. c:

Finally a show that does have an original order of doing the preview and ending. It's very refreshing.

Groping while minds shifted and stuff was kinda fun.

EDIT: A lot of people are comparing this to K-ON but I never saw it so I'm seeing this with a blank slate. I think I'll enjoy it more so because of that. I may get round to checking out K-ON eventually but long series are daunting to break in to.
Aki Toyosaki? That did it for me.

As it was mentioned it did receive a half preview. From the start I can tell that:
http://myanimelist.net/character/40196/Iori_Nagase
will be my #1. I love her joking around with perverted stuff such as showing off her Misaka like shorts instead of panties FAD. That's good cause I don't see girls wearing that too much.
Same for me. So many good anime this season.

Wow, this show is really interesting. I think I saw a lot of hype around it, so I decided that I should give it a try. It really lived up to my expectation on the first EP.

Iori really is a lovable character. I like that the first full swap was between her and Taichi. It's so hilarious when Taichi realized that he's in Iori's body and touching her ... boobs. (I was thinking that they'd take it a little further and make Iori realized that Taichi did something like that though, oh well.)

Man, now I need to catch up to the latest EP!

Coulda had a better title. "Kokoro Connect"? Really??? It sounds like A mahou shoujo anime. A better title would've made more people watch it.
I liked this episode a lot. My guess is aliens are testing on them since at the end some sort of camera is zooming out into the sky with clicking as if someone in space is observing them. And the font design for the title in the opening seems alien like. AND the name of episode two is "Some Fascinating Humans". It sounds like a statement as if someone that isn't human is saying we're fascinating as if they are observing/testing, etc.
Totally aliens.

Didn't expect much going into this, but damn this first episode turned out to be pretty sweet! I'm not a big fan of slice-of-life, but this whole switching-bodies certainly spices things up.

I really enjoyed this episode! On to the next one!

Didn't really know what to expect but wow, this show is really interesting! I LOVED what they did at the beginning even if it was kind of confusing. The OP and ED were both really enjoyable as well :3
Switching bodies ... I can certainly say THAT came as a surprise! XD Looks like things are gonna get complicated with three of them next time ...
I love to see little bits of their family lives :P Taichi's so cute with his little sister! :O Iori looks like she's got it rough too ...
Inaba's voice sounded SO familiar but I don't recognize many of her seiyuu's roles at all! D: Surprised to see Yui is Yuki from Zombie. ALSO TAICHI IS ROLO?! WTF LOL XD

With an absurd premise coming from something like a bad porno movie, I had few expectations for this. But it turned out to be quite interesting, and while it has marginally stock archetypes, they do a pretty excellent job akin to AnoHana. I'm really enjoying this so far, but I have my doubts for whether this body-changing humor can last very long. Hopefully, it doesn't end up with a contrived plot or force out some needless drama.

EDIT: My expectations were right on both accounts. Kokoro Connect you disappoint.

Haha, love the concept. This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, and perhaps even take a serious route as well.

Liking the characters already. Inaba (Sawashiro Miyuki) is cool and everyone seems to have good chemistry.

I'm watching this. See you all at episode 13.

I wasn't expecting it but this is really interesting. I know the switching bodies has been done many times before but there is already some nice mystery going on with each of the characters' family members. Riya singing the OP was nice too. I think I'm gonna like this a lot. The comedy was my kind of taste too

Off to a great start, nice OST, art, animation, characters, directing and especially humor. Had my sides splitting a few times. Conversations are witty and funny while still being very believable. Don't have any complaints, 9/10 for this episode.

Hmm,a non-KyoAni moeblob show.

Body switching,huh.

Kinda confused each time they switch bodies cause I don't know the character by name yet and I have to figure out/remember who's who.

Good start though,hopefully this doesn't disappoint.

I must admit, I only started watching this anime because of that Inaba .gif :P
Well, I would have watched it otherwise, but I guess it rushed it.

I heard a lot that Inaba is best girl. She's funny right now, but she seem a bit out of the group... I don't know how to explain it. Maybe I have that feeling because she stand out of it? I don't know, but the two girl, her and Iori, sure are bold x)
I... I would have paid those 120 yens T.T
Also, why Taichi why? Small breast are best... Wait, why am I talking about my fetishes?

Anyway, I'm a bit deceived by that first episode, I didn't expected a bender-gender anime. But, if treated in a dramatic line, it could be interresting. And from the synopsis (that I just read now :P ), it look like it will be heading this way.

Late to the party - but this appears quite interesting! Body switching always has lots of potential.

This show actually reminds me a bit of another Aki Toyosaki's (Yui and Nagase's seiyuu) anime - Natuiro Kiseki.

This is the probably smartest (least fluffy) SOL character that I've seen Aki Toyosaki portrays. Nice to see her range. Looking forward to more.
