-Tsukkomi said: I totally agree with the spoiler but you do know it's cause of that kiss and ultimately THAT BASTARD SOB OF HEARTSEED! Oh the rage on him never stops. On top of all of that, Inaba... That's what I think the whole thing will be going around. I do agree that Inaba was at fault with some users here stating their IMOs for going all the way like that but the REAL SHIT is Heartseed no matter what. Hatred should really be on him. Amplifications of emotional factoring are a bitch TBH. |
| lol... anyway, was this adapted from a Light Novel? Anyone? |

| @Yumekichi:What? I'm totally with him. These guys ARE awesome to watch. I can't wait to see what else he puts them through. |
| This is becoming more interesting! So body swapping is not the only one Heartseed can do.. Inaba's hidden desire is truly a daring one, so she really likes Taichi, or maybe she only likes teasing him? :D It looks like i'm gonna be amused by this series till the end.. |

These guys ARE awesome to watch. I can't wait to see what else he puts them through. How would you like to used as guinea pig like that? No one would want. Certainly this might be a pleasing experience but for those part of it it certainly is not and I am with them on that. |
| The potential for this arc is great. Body switching was really well done, but this is a twist that is from left field. There's so many directions it could go, and the viewer can be left in such suspense whether it was the "desires" or the "regular person" talking. I'm really looking forward to the next few episodes. And the more Inaba and Taichi the better, they're my two favorite characters. I'd like more about Aoki revealed at some point, but his time in the spotlight can wait if it has to. |
| DAT INABA. |
| Interesting and a new ED I predict an Orgy! xD |
| Quick question: I see that most call him heartseed, but in the rori subs he's called balloon vine. Which one is correct, or doesn't it matter? |

| In the French version "he" is called "Heart of India" or something like this. (Coeur des Indes) |
 |
| fusen kazura should literally be close to balloon vine which is why i found it weird hes called heartseed in the subs too |

| You could tell even in the body switching arc that Inaba has it bad for Teichi. But Inaba decides to bury it. The thing is, she is the one who was been the "selfless freak" when she pushes Iori and Teichi together. Maybe in Inaba's heart she feels Iori needs him more than she does. Maybe Inaba doesn't believe she's worthy of having Teichi since she has serious trust issues. Whatever the reason, she definitely bowed out so the Iori X Teichi pairing could blossom. However, Inaba's feelings towards Teichi hasn't changed. You can definitely see it in the way Inaba acts towards Teichi. Inaba enjoys teasing/tormenting Teichi in a playful manner. It's a common tell tale sign of her flirting in a low level manner. Now, Heartseed has really upped the ante on the group by putting their darkest desires on display. Inaba must be mortified because now, not only did she already display that hidden desire for Teichi once, she's afraid that her desires, lust, and jealousy will rear it's ugly head among the group. I get the feeling that preview of Teichi berating Inaba for her actions is because Inaba will try to do something drastic to distance herself from everyone else. Inaba talks about Iori being the weak one. The reality is, Inaba is just as weak. She just hides it behind a kaichou/cerebral persona. Actually when you think of it. All the girls have deep weaknesses that they hide with fake persona. The only real detraction I have for the series is the fact that the group has quickly excepted "heartseed" as this all powerful being that they'll just have to live with. There seems to be a lack of any discussion as to who or what he may be. They don't even seem to try and bother finding anything out about him. If you have this all powerful being F`ing up your life like you're some puppet, wouldn't you at least want to know who he is and why he's doing it? Other than the vague "you're entertaining" response. It just seems their acceptance of him and the situation is a tad contrived. Other than that, this series is pretty damn good. |

| Inaba is the best girl. |
| I dont very like this episode. And also the new ending song is very bad for me :/ But the first 5 episod is Mesterpicec. I waiting for the 3nd arc... |
| People may start hating Inaba, but imagine yourself exposing what you want without your control. Some may say it's easy, but the ideal and the real isn't always the same. Besides, when you're being true to yourself, or being so impulsive, there's always someone who would disagree. That is exactly why people control themselves from abiding their impulses, right? It's sad that some are enraged at Inaba and called her a pervert. Isn't everyone at least a little lewd? It's human nature, and just because it is stoppable doesn't mean it can become nonexistent. It is a biological impulse, and it has aided humans to survive in great numbers despite numerous harsh conditions. |

| yo dude inaban is the bomb tho taichi is pretty dense; when inaban said "can we lock ourselves in our room" he should have instantly known what she meant instead taichi looked at the butterfly in the room this is probably going to be a lot worse than body swapping for most people swapping bodies is a bit awkward but inner thoughts are ho crap really really awkward for most people |

| Wow, so here I was, watching the preview, waiting for the glorious early seconds of the ending. THEY CHANGED IT TO SOMETHING TERRIBLE! |
| A little too much drama for me, but I'm liking this anime. Taichi, Inaba, and Iori really need to move to somewhere that allows polygamy. |

| Good episode but not better then the previous episodes. Maybe this arc will get better in the next episode but I think like the first arc more then this one. |
XTR17 said: Good episode but not better then the previous episodes. Maybe this arc will get better in the next episode but I think like the first arc more then this one. Compare the first episode of the arc before to the first episode of this one. Did that episode have stripper music with appropriate visuals? |
| Trololol i thought that the body swapping gimmick was already awesome but this one really takes the cake Well I'm quite happy that the new arc seems to focus on Inaba instead of Iori since Inaba is my favourite character. |

| I wonder how this whole love triangle thing is going to resolve :o |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |

AnimeFtw1 said: How can people possibly like Inaba? She's the typical bitchy tsundere. Attacking Taichi for no reason. What a great analysis, you've totally ignored everything else about her character and recognized a piece that's arguably even existing |

AnimeFtw1 said: How can people possibly like Inaba? She's the typical bitchy tsundere. Attacking Taichi for no reason. Himeko Inaba being categorized -tsundere- ? Well, your description of a characters is way off and total blasphemy; and you don't even know how to use the vocabulary correctly. She falls to the category of a -kuudere- character, while Yui Kiriyama falls to the -tsundere- category. And since I have a head start with the light novels with AMAZING INFORMATION, I think you should respect Inaba more (; Dereban  |

| Inaba is just the best character in the anime she can play the rational one, the one who's suffering behind the scenes, the smart one, the fun character, the cool character and.... *goes on talking about Inaba's good points for hours* |
| |
| Inaba is actually the only "character of the show". The rest are dull, especially our psychologist Taichi-> bad. |
 |
| Love the new ED! Anyone knows where to download it? |
| No doubt. there is gonna be some amazing plot in the upcoming episodes. Great anime |
| Much more dangerous circumstances now that their inner desires can be released. I'm actually really disappointed about the new ED, it felt out of place compared to the old one which really rounded the show off well. |

| Great episode, glad to know that it's not just them that are switching bodies, now it's their desires being unleashed, something different. 5/5 |
