| This was a really good episode! The ending was hilarious. I love that the show isn't shying away from dealing with the somewhat serious elements of their current situation, rather than it being used constantly for comedic effect. The characters are all rather interesting so far, and I quite liked the glimpse into the more somber side of Nagase. This show is increasingly becoming more intriguing. I can't wait to see where the story goes from here, particularly what each of the characters may learn about one another. Definitely one of the biggest surprises of the season. |
 |
| While I wouldn't have minded a continuous comedy fest of body switching, this supernatural presence who uses "Mr. Goto" as the spokeperson adds that level of seriousness. Will be interesting the direction this anime takes. |
 |
| SERIOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSLYYYYYYYYYY????????????! That preview. Omg. I thought this is just a simple club comedy Anime but It seems Im very wrong. Damn it, that was soooooo gooooooood. What is happening is just very sad. The development of the romance. Yui crying in the preview. I guess I'll rate it more than 7 after the next episodes. Im feeling sad after watching this episode =( |
| Woah that was so much better than episode no.1 IMO. Serious moments were really good. I can see tears, fights and alot of other stuff in next episodes.I really hope it's 26 episodes, because it deserves it. I hate how anime pv spoiled me something really important that's gonna happen in future ._. 5/5 |

 Two pee moments in two anime this week, these anime are really getting two me...Anyway, ignoring that, I think it took a pretty interesting turn. Personality swapping is always interesting and Im either laughing or chuckling at it. The Mr. Go -> Heartseed stuff was intense, though I wonder who is ahead of him or if someone else is behind this little observation operation? Im glad it didnt get way more serious then that. Though in the lives of the characters I imagine there may be something going on, considering Iori seems to be all alone and the other Yui doesnt like her like that, etc. Hopefully we get more moments with Aoki and Taichi or in this case Nagase |

| Looks like this series will have potential. |

| This episode was crazy and hilarious. Loved it! Interesting to see what that teacher-guy is doing though |
 |
| I'm actually fond of body swapping, gender-bending genre but I'm still enjoying this more than I thought I would. I thought this would be just a standard romcom with drama here and there. I mean lines like, "If we lose the significance of our bodies because of body switching, will we still be ourselves?" and that whole conversation as a whole is completely out of my expectations. |
Ejc said: This ep was a great improvement from the first ep. The ending was especially priceless, lol xD This! After the first episode I thought it was going to be some boring silly bland show similar to "Natsuiro Kiseki." But the show really has a deeper darker undertone to it. And the comedy seems smart and witty, not silly and clunky. I also like that the "phenomenon", the "heartseed", is treated like a conflict in the story and not some silly plot device. So I guess I can throw my presumptions out the window for now. |

| It's getting a bit interesting =_= zZzZz... |
| Kokoro Connect is taking a darker turn. Is Go-san family of Kyubey? They have overtaken the translated manga. I have no idea what's coming after. |

Cratex said: I only read four chapters of the manga to be honest and it was not explained in the maya either.However, the writers will REALLY need to explain Yui. (Since I've not read, nor do I currently intend to read, the manga this is based on, I know nothing about the backstories.) If she's got some trauma regarding men from her past she's hiding, then how is it she hangs out in a group that includes Taichi and, in particular, Yoshifumi? Tho she doesn't appear to have a disliking towards Taichi she does appear to have a major dislike towards Aoki can't really blame her seeing his personality. She didn't specifically mention a dislike towards men she was just creeped out at the idea of having to use the toilet as one of them. But it was mentioned in both the manga and in this episode that she was a expert at Karate maybe she took Karate as a way to defend herself from men. As for the comment towards about Iori being alone at night in home, she was right a girl being alone at home by herself can be dangerous and it can't hurt for them to have somethings around to defend themselves with. Besides woman can be scared when there alone even in places where men won't have a problem. Cratex said: I think Taichi can handle himself when it comes to the class president.Aversa said: Fast thinking on Inaba's part as a way to help out her friend Iori. Taichi will just have to man up and deal with the ramifications (silly grin).Inaba saying Ioro is my woman against the class president suggests she was aware of this, and she did it in Taichi's body which makes it look like a declaration of war between the two. And let be honest Iori and Taichi have a very friendly relationship and the would make a good couple it won't be surprising either if they where to have feelings for each other. |
| the series is starting off well with a good balance of humor and seriousness. i approve~ c: |

| Very entertaining. |
  |
| I not sure your body would be safe with me *drools* |
| This is getting really good. This is already more than what I'm looking for in this genre. Lelouch22 said: I am definitely looking forward to the character development. The situation they are in right now can make for a strong bond of friendship...or completely ruin it if not careful.This show is increasingly becoming more intriguing. I can't wait to see where the story goes from here, particularly what each of the characters may learn about one another. Definitely one of the biggest surprises of the season. |
| I'm really digging this, but I have to go back and watch the first two eps again, and make a little character map for myself! This show is really highlighting and how dependent I am at using hair and eye color and other persistent features (like a hair pin) to identify characters! |

| Good episode, loved the drama. Though a bit confused, especially when I read Aversa's comment lol. Does the class president like Taichi or Iori and Inaba declared that love thing in Taichi's body right? Is Inaba a uh, lesbian or was that just to help Taichi? |

Class President obviously is attracted to the same sex, hence why Irori was so freaked out about what happened in Ep.1. Guess I'm just overthinking everything haha. |

Does the class president like Taichi or Iori and Inaba declared that love thing in Taichi's body right? Is Inaba a uh, lesbian or was that just to help Taichi? The Class President lusts after likes Iori. While in Taichi's body, Inaba declared love for Iori to the Class President, making it look to the Class President like Taichi loves Iori, in an effort to shield Iori from the Class President. While Inaba's intent was to help Iori against Class President, there is room for speculation that Taichi and Iori may actually have feelings for each other that neither has expressed, so Inaba may have unintentionally set things in motion between those two. |
|
| So things are getting interesting. And Inaba and Taichi switch at the end is funny. XDD |
 |
| This show is really getting interesting. I loved the seriousness meshed with the hilarious scenes. This show does seem to be a lot deeper in meaning than I had thought it was. |

| It was a great improvement I expect this to be more interesting episode by episode |
| The first episode was misleading, this actually shows a bit more promise then I would've normally expected. Not going to expect too much since it is a slice-of-life with a twist to it, but hopefully it keeps up this pace and what-not. I really liked this episode, too. 4/5 |
 |
| I had a feeling that Iori likes Taichi and it continues to grow. |
Magito said: I had a feeling that Iori likes Taichi and it continues to grow. This, as long as we get more Taichi x Iori shipping moments, then i'll stick with this series. Regardless of where the story begins to turn. I knew from the first episode that i would enjoy this series, because of how the story is being laid out. On top of that, the character art is pretty great in my opinion. I love that style of animation. Cratex said: Maybe, but I've gotten the impression that it's much more serious. We'll just have to wait and see. :) I got the same impression as well =P, but yeah you're right. We'll have to wait and see. |
| I didn't expect much from this anime when I picked it up but it seems like it'll get pretty interesting. |
| very interesting wonder how serious things will get and Kiriyama seems to have some issues with guys it seems lol love the ending with Taichi raising his hand then swaping |
 |
| This anime is madly confusing. But the plot is finally picking up. I wonder what kind of power is used to switch them? |

| I'm not that big of a fan of Iori, although I do want to know what is up with her, but I feel that way about every character in this series. What I do want is Inaba x Taichi. I would love it if they ended up together, but...will see..it probably will end up been Taichi and Iori, which for some reason I just absolutely do not want. That said, I'm glad the last switch was btw Inaba x Taichi : ) |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
Kokoro connect should now be a paranormal/dramatic type that has soul philosophy as assembled in the spoiler  WTF GUY! He is possessed! SOMEONE CALL A EXORCIST NOW! Like I was totally like that. I am still baffled at why they did not do it. It’s obvious Heartseed is scared of them since he mentions not to tell anyone. Why not? Probably cause a priest can whoop its ass! That’s what! But anyway that part had a most amazing BGM along with a later part. So 2 of them were quite enticing in this episode. I admit that I was surprised at Yui’s outburst in the spoiler One of the things that does me piss off at Heartseed is the following,  Especially since it was Yui. After learning of their sizes: Inaba is B Yui is A Iori is C Yui being DFC makes it all the more raging that’s not to mention in the spoiler I ROFL at Yui not being herself in the spoiler I did however appreciated Iori’s blush in the spoiler About thee end, crazy Ianaba in Taichi’s body in the spoiler About the preview, lots of mixed emotions in the spoiler Conclusion, series looks to have scary moments, high pitch emotional tolls and most of all drama with excellent BGM. Quite the surprise with this episode. The body switching might get confusing at some point. |
| Lmao, started laughing just at the beginning because the three of them swapped bodies, especially Inaba, Himeko :D.. |
 |
| Was kind of boring, but then the ending made this anime interesting again. But what Nagase said is 'sort of' true. We do identify ourselves mainly with our appearance, but over time, I think this becomes less true. I mean, sometimes I think I look like a 'bishounen' (until I look in the mirror -haha). |
    |
| Great ep. Plot is great and entertaining so far. Will be interesting to see how their relationships and feelings for one another develop and change over the next few eps. |
 |
| Wow, just when I thought this would be a basic slice of life.... Didn't think they would change the tone so suddenly. |
| ute ,it was longer too ,i realyliked this ep |
 |
| This is getting better and interesting |
 |
| Well what I originally thought was a rather light-hearted show seems to be getting more serious in terms of story telling and exploring each character's emotions. I think this would continue to be great if they can maintain a nice balance between this which keeps it interesting and comedy which keeps it from getting too depressing. Either way, I think this will continue to turn out well. Quite the welcome change. |
 |
| This series could be the surprise of the season if they continue to develop it in this serious direction--clearly we're moving beyond expectations for the typical gender/personality swap show. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Pretty good so far, glad that the plot is moving forward. However, I have a problem with some characters calling others by their first name, and other characters calling the same person by their last name.. 4/5 |
