I don't know what it was but I feel like this episode was far better than any of the previous ones. Honestly I was getting bored and confused with all the episodes before this one and really couldn't connect with the characters at all. I think the first little arc before this felt really rushed and it seemed like they tried to jam way too much stuff into a few episodes.

Or maybe I just shouldn't watch things when I'm half-asleep. Anyway, I'm liking the show a lot more as of this episode.

I think you should respect Inaba more

You guys are all really dumb. I don't see ANYTHING special in Inaba. All she does it randomly hit people, bitch can't use any other method? She's nothing new, just a typical bossy bish who's a slut deep down.


No, we're not dumb. We precisely see more of her -character- than what your weak -senses- are telling you. And as for violence , Yui also can be consider as a violent character than Inaba, and Taichi too, when he was going to use -force- on Fujishima ( harassing Iori ). And Yui desire of hitting -men-.

But that's not why Inaba has been consider as a attractive character, but mostly because of her outside -traits- : her sound judgment, seriousness,light humor, blunt statements, self possession and ect. And when we look for her inside weak -traits- : pessimist, worried,undependable on others,over apprehension, ect. She comes out as a -unique- character. Despite of not being able to rely to others and not even herself, she puts her worries -second- , being -selfless- and stills manage to keep the group mentally and emotionally stable during the gimmicks of Heartseed despite being the most -vulnerable- one. Who eventually soon,
So, in other words, the ( We) audience are favorable for these type of characters because when characters have this kind of hard personalty they have this amazing thing called " character development" which it gives them room to grow through out the series. And yes, darling, she was always popular before and after her amazing -deredere- changes. And you can't say we only like her because - you guys are perverts- because I'm clearing a innocent teenage girl ~ Muaxx <3 ;D

So now that the body swap is over, they've got a new situation on their hands. And a new ED that comes along with it. Ffffffffffffffsssss damn it whyyyyy the old ED was so good and it was always a great way to make episodes end dramatically. :(

Outta the 3 girls in this anime I've gotta say I like Inaba the least so I hope this arc won't end with Inaba messing up Iori and Taichi's relationship based on this whole thing about letting their instincts run wild.

So..
episode 1-5 (Hito Random)
is more focused on Nagase
and
episode 6-... i think 10? (Kizu Random)
would be more on Inaba?

this is just a guess LOL

Good episode.
I liked Tachi x Iori better. But inaba is tiny bit growing on me.
This arc is way better than the first one.
ED song is not very good.In 22:52 it reminds me on that one book animation.(can't remember what the name is.)

Now this arc seems more interesting than the body swapping nonsense.

Either way the only character worth mentioning is obviously Inaba....

The MC has the personality of a fucking rock and the other characters might as well be background characters!


Well, whatever, at least I enjoyed this episode much more than the last!

I like how Heartseed spiced it up by exchanging body-switching to unleashing-desires, although it's weird to have Kokoro Connect without the body-switching. Still a really great episode though!

Hmm, so it's "unleashed desires" instead of body-switching? O_o I was WONDERING what Inaba was up to ... kind of a shame, I wanted Iori and Taichi to get together :P They're right though, now's probably not the best time for that ... but still, staying just friends? That's never going to work out, especially now that everyone knows Inaba "made moves" on Taichi as well ...
Heartseed is SO weird. I mean, it's hard to tell whether I like this new development or not ... feels a little ... odd? IDK how to explain it >_<
Looks like both Inaba and Iori are having a hard time with this ... looks like everyone gets a little mad next episode as well. It'll be interesting to see where this goes
ED focuses on Inaba now. I have to say I don't like it nearly as much as the last one :S Still, it's not bad.

Oh man, now it's unleashing inner desires instead of body switching? This should be good. I can see the drama already lol.

I guess it's time for Inaba to confront "herself", really looking forward to it, especially after her antics this episode, her cover up, and the final scene + new ED.

Unleashing desires is a lot more interesting, it's going to bring the group even closer together or further apart.

I loved the body switching concept but this one is also quite nice, I wonder how this will develop! The lust desire is high for some :p but yea with this I don't think we'll see much relation development sadly enough... lets see anyway!

The new ED is quite nice as well!

So Inaba finally let her desire for Taichi out... well her feelings would be revealed sooner or later considering how much she was forcing Taichi and Iori to get together. In most cases it mean that that person likes one of them.

Since body swapping was happening only between them, it was kind of innocent since no one would really do anything if they are real friends. While this one is very problematic...

I would not want to experience that... if I were to let all my emotions out, I would be the biggest and creepiest freak on the planet in many senses.... Would be under lock that's for sure XD

This ED certainly suggests a focus on Inaba this arc, which I'm more than happy about. It's interesting to see it move on to this new phenomenon, it's keeping things fresh, I assumed the whole series would be about body swapping. That being said, great show that it is, I can't help but feel that Kokoro Connect really would have benefitted from being a 24 episode show. I would have liked some more exploration of the body swapping, as well as a bit of build-up of the characters relationships beforehand. As it is it seems like they became really close unrealistically fast. I also think that Yui's androphobia bit could have been extended over another episode or two and had a bit more impact. But in the end, I can't really complain. Loving the show so far and it certainly doesn't seem to be heading downhill, it's getting better if anything.

Sorry, nope. Being a nice guy without any (so far revealed) horrible secrets doesn't make someone have the personality of a rock, not everyone needs to have some big revelation behind their character. And if anything, aside from Aoki I'd say every character has had more focus than the MC thus far. He's pretty much just been a tool to explore their problems and personalities.

This episode made me very sad because it made me realize that while Inaba try her best to find the way out of everyone problem, nobody really worry about her. Her natural coldness seem to make everyone to assume that she has no problem, but she seem to be the one that suffer the most.

It was kinda obvious that she had feeling for Taichi, we could see it from the episode 4. That situation remind me a bit of Toradora! (DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT)


They are both tragic character vowed to suffer, but maybe Heartseed can make things better for them. I don't know. In any way, at the beginning of the serie, I thought that Taichi had feeling for her, but I'm not sure anymore.

I hope that Iori turn out lesbian and end up with glasses girl while Inaba end up with Taichi xD

Episode 06 - Before we knew it, it had Already Started Again:

The impulse of Inaba must be her inner toughts and probably Taichi was in his way to her house.

Ego take control of one's mind, that is Ballon Vine new game.

Or like Ballon Vine says "Simply put, I'm unleashing the desires you hold in your hearts." Yes, that was a inner desire of Inaba in the first scene.

Now i'm Sure that Ballon does all of this for his own amusement, with the pretext of helping them, much like a godlike being.

Inaba, you sure have some problems to explain the weird situation with Taichi to Iori. She does not want to hurt anyone, but yet she have fellings for Taichi, she is in a difficult position.

Iori really hit the spot, when the Ego take control they can do things that can regret later. But is sad anyway.

New ending, that reflect the importance on Inaba character in this new arc, and maybe the fall of her friend cause of her fellings for Taichi.

This arc looks promising and i hope that it will be better than the first one because i didn't enjoy the first five episodes
I understand why Iori wants to keep distance from Taichi because of this desire unleashed thing
To be honest my favorite character of this anime is Iori and from this episode Taichi is the most stupid character of all time
Gosh i didn't see any character more stupid than Taichi
I want Aoki to get more screentime in the future
