Lelouch22 said: This was a thoroughly exciting, fantastic episode! The scene at the beginning between Yui and Aoki was great, and now the mistaken beliefs that Yui has feelings for Taichi can finally be put to rest. Heartseed is such a conniving, evil character but thankfully his experiment didn't cause Iori to die. Inaba easily remains the best character. Since I know she likes Taichi just as much as Iori does, it admittedly gets a bit tiring to see her attempting to selflessly push Iori and Taichi together without regards to her own feelings. Of course, much of her feelings toward Taichi will be unveiled over the next several episodes, particularly whichever episode covers the end to volume 2. The end to the episode was fantastic, and I'm fine with a triangle being set up considering I don't particularly like the Iori x Taichi pairing and due to the fact that: Despite being a heavier episode, I thought it continued to deftly blend the comedy and drama very well, as it has all along. The next arc of the LN's is pretty good, due to the heavy focus on Inaba, but volume 3 and 4 are the best, so I can't wait to see those animated. This is easily the best anime of the season, along with Natsuyuki Rendezvous and Sword Art Online. I'm really looking forward to the next episode, and I hope this show can continue to greatly exceed my expectations. Can you pleaase use spoiler tags? Some people haven't read the light novels T__T |
| If this episode made one thing clear it's that the little flower is toying with them in a very serious way i expected that Iori would live but making people believe she will die he really is the worst. And he also created some interesting situations for himself like what will Inaba to because of that kiss seems like Taichi is in trouble because of it. Then there is the class president who seems to have a understanding with Taichi but will she just give up on Iori like that or will she do something towards Taichi. |
| Well this sure was something. When i actually stopped considering the possibility of Heartseed trolling it turned out he indeed was, what a dick. But he sure was right, they all benefit from the incident. It doesn't really look like Iori x Taichi is happening right away, basing on her coming to the club at the end. While it'd be a shame, i'm actually kind of happy about their relationship progress being stalled, i'm rooting for Inaban x Taichi from the start. But anyway, the end of personality swapping, i heard it's only 1st volume in novel so there's still ways to go for relationships developing further. Looking forward to whatever Heartseed plans to do with the group in next arc. |

| It was good :D ended well so this is big plus here (I would hate if she would die) but it was nicelly done, I also didn't thought that she will die but they convinced me that she will :) to make that ending... not the best series but I like how it's progressing (well except part with girl that has no personality and changes them all the time... that is weird but within norm) |

| What a wonderful episode^^ 5/5 I managed to block my tears till the end, hopefully it was a good ending :) |

Not yet; that's the furthest the english translations have gone. Despite my somewhat limited understanding of the Japanese language, that's how I read the LN's. Unfortunately, baka-tsuki seems quite slow with these translations. |

| So that's why he handed the handphone over! At one moment i really did thought iori is going to die. Can't wait for next week!! |
| i like this quote: ''What defines humans.. what defines us? Nobody notices the change on the inside, if you look the same on the outside.'' I'm not sure its true, but it sounds sad. That's what usually it is though. Guess you need the right person to notice you. |

  |
| Honestly this episode was one of the best ive seen from any show in a while. 5/5 |
| Cant tell if the heartseed guy is an asshole or a friggin' hero. I'd go with 'an asshole', despite his good intentions... |
    |
| So we're back to the question how the fuck does this show only score a 7.89 atm!? I mean sure it doesn't really mean anything and it should go up but it's just frustrating and retarded seeing this show having about the same score as Accel World for instance. (which isn't a bad show but no way it can compare to this) Also that laugh at the end, I just had to laugh along and thus my parents stared at me because I was starting to laugh maniacally. |

| Nice episode! It lacked in the direction, some of the scenes lacked wham, but that is also because of the lack of proper character development. In fact, I think this first LN could've been adapted as a stand-alone anime original, in which they fleshed the original story out. It would've worked well. Although, I am curious about the future.

| Pretty good episode except that it was obvious the whole time that she was going to survive. |

| Taichi shines again this episode Darn Seed keeps trolling the bunch The show would have ended with a death |
amginex said: i like this heartseed guy bastek66 said: Well Its rather clear Inaba is into Taichi though its semi clear from the get got and Iori is too .. But hey either way this was a fun episode though I could see the "Trollololol" coming didnt really make it less well done. |
LunaAug 4, 2012 9:15 PM
| I loved this episode <3 Taichi and Iori made me.. KYAAAAH so much XD They love each other <3 Inaba can just bury herself if she goes between Iori and Taichi C: hey.. umh I like Inaba but.. if she really does end up with Taichi... ^^" yeah.. |

| I really though Iori was gonna die ( Am I the only one? I thought Kokoro Connect might kill one or two characters. And it will be a one of the best if they did it. I guess I was expecting too much ). I was raging so hard and cursing heartseed to death. Phew. |

| |
| OMG I think i'm in love with this anime. Idk the last time an anime could do that to me. Make me feel like that |
| I wanted her to die. So, so badly. Iori lies about switching, Taichi gets hit (what?). Iori bitches about something EVERY HUMAN BEING DOES (putting on different masks, liking different things, acting different around different people) like it's something special. I know the problems stems from her mother and all having many husbands. I don't know. Angry. Wanted death. Got nothing. Bleh. :/ |
| No, but seriously, after finishing 'To The Moon' today and then watching this, I started seriously tearing up when Taichi cried. Then I started crying when Iori and Taichi kissed and didn't stop until the doctor told them she was okay. I was thinking it was trick at first, but then when they had their conversations, I was thinking Iori would die. I-I can't tell whether I hate or love Heartseed at this point. He's a bastard, but he taught them some valuable lessons. Oh shit, now it'll focus on a love triangle. Those never end well. (In this case, it's pretty one-sided for Inaban ;_;) |
| Well things went "keikaku doori" for Heartseed this episode. And, while he may be a trolling bastard, he's a trolling bastard with a heart of gold. Anyway, great episode. Inaba continues to be a cool character - this is the second episode in a row that has ended with her giving a great smile (even if this one was more evil than the last). Now I look forward to seeing how things play out from here. |
| Well Aoki finally confessed again and now seems he as more of a chance too. Damn that Heartseed is either a genius or a genuine asshole. Can't really decide yet. For those who want to be spoiled about future parings and such can go here. Don't know how creditable the people on Anime Suki are, but thats where I found out that Iori wasn't gonna die. Yahoo, no more body swapping and now the inter most desires will be revealed next :P |
| That smile. |

| the series got a little better, still not great yet |
 |
| TROLOLOLO.God, i swear i wanted to freaking kill Heartseed.I mean before doctor said eveything is ok...after that i was laughing, because this bastard got me teary-eyed with his super trolling lvl 9000. It felt weird seeing Taichi and Inaba kissing.I know it was Iori, i know...but it just didnt look right. Im still afraid Inaba wil confess or kiss Taichi at some point and Iori will see it ._. that's why i can't get much to like Inaba, but well, we will see. 5/5 total troll. |

| MAXIMUM TROLLING! The episode was so wild it was all over the place and so are my feelings TBH. Here is what I though in a random comment style. First of all this is a dangerous type of anime for me I have found out. No matter what it will work rather nasty on me. When Heartseed did the following to Inori,  I RAGED SO HARD! It Over 9000 and more. I swear I gripped my monitor paused to Heartseed’s face on that guy and I was to crush it! I was so willing to go inside the anime when I saw Inori in the spoiler That being said it was totally dramatic in the following,  THAT KISS! OH SHIT! Inaba’s first kiss stolen by Taichi and Inori did for not having a choice in this situation. Still now it’s more clear as to why in the future things happen the way they do or should I say why Inori would have a guilty now. Truly a bastard of trolls that Heartseed. The emotions in the spoiler Those 2 were the most outstanding parts along with the BGM keeping on edge all the time. This certainly is the best EF TROLL style I have seen. This could be a dangerous trend of an anime for me. I don’t like being trolled emotionally. Suffice to say I would still KILL HEARTSEED! I would exorcize his sorry ass to nothingness if I could. BASTARD! I have hatred till he is gone for him. Other than that the beginning in the spoiler What follows in the spoiler That being said the bridge part in the spoiler So in thee end I really want Heartseed dead for what he did. I don’t accept this trolling of his and he should GTFO out of existence with his playing around. This was truly the best emotional ride for me so far. F ALL, 10/10 SCORE UP! No questions asked this now is a Master Piece of Emotional Trolling. A unique approach indeed. I will leave it at that. |
| this one was a rollercoaster off emotions. First that heart-to-heart talk with yui and whats his face (and the 3 others conveniently eavesdropping). Then Iori posing as Inaba and Taichi running after her. He finally confesses and she was made to jump off the bridge. From that point on I wanted to kill heartseed, rip him to shreds and feed them to bloodthirsty werehamsters. Up until I finally found out he trolled us. Damn, getting teared up for nothing. Highlights: ofc the kiss between Taichi and Iori/Inaba, and later Inaba's evil smile and Taichi's reaction to it. Also, Inaba continues to be the best char <3 |

| Heartseed you damn TROLL!!! |
 |
| Heartseed spouts some hypocritical nonsense. He saved the cell phone, while sending Iori to the ICU, wasting the hospital staff's time, and causing everyone around her to worry. Then he claims he wouldn't cause trouble for innocent people. I felt his character would have done better in the extremes of a seriousness spectrum, but they went with some awkward middle ground. Other than that, it was a fine episode. |

| Huhu~ I really really really like this episode! :( So much emotions. It's like I'm watching already the ending.. I'm so happy that Iori didn't die... Huhu~ So many emotions.. I can't understand myself at all. While I was watching this episode, when they were saying that Iori will die, I was thinking I'll stop watching this series then coz my fav. character here is IORI only... and I'm so happy about the end.. haiii.. :))) It played my feelings |
| Saturday of drama!!!!!!! T‿T!!! |
| i figured this was all just for the guys entertainment. Should have realized it when he gave the phone to tiechi that he means no one harm. Killing off characters would be pretty great twist if the directors wanted to take this anime to the dark side and mind fuk everybody. I could see alot of people getting pissed about that though next episode hurry up! |
| Wow what an emotional roller coaster! Heartseed went Jigsaw on their asses! No better way to learn to appreciate life than that I guess. I wonder how Iori and Taichi are gonna behave around each other now that all of their feelings are all out in the open. Are they gonna be a legit couple now? This anime is really shaping up to be one of the best this season! Can't wait for next week! |

| 5/5 goes without saying. Very powerful and emotional episode. Aoki is a very persistent fellow, in a good meaning. Good news. Yui seems to lower her guard down for him a little. I saw Iori acting Inaban coming from afar, but still very emotional when Taichi realized what happened, had to get hit and chased after her. Well, Taichi wasn't anywhere near wrong. Iori was obviously at wrong. I like Iori vs Taichi philosophical debate. Taichi wins by all means. He was handling Iori better than he did last episode and made a clear comments on Iori's worries. His confession was also lovely even though coming out of nowhere. Then the mastermind had to harm Iori. That was so damn hurt I wanted blow my monitor, but had to endure it to find out what happen next. They got to choose who to die. Even though I kinda know they will not let anyone die in someone else's body and also know Iori won't die, it's still a pretty smart move that leads to the following greatness. Taichi is a selfless selfish freak who is just like Inaban said, crazily gentle. Aoki is strong enough to say and to do what they had to do. The switching talks just proved the strength of their friendship. Iori resolved herself and ready to move on, but she won't hold Taichi to her death. While they were at the greatest peak of the arc, Inaban talking in Iori's accent was just an EPIC WIN. And they even kissed too! I'm on both Iori and Inaban sides, so this is PURE EPIC WIN for me. Finally, for the trollage, I don't hold any grudge at him. Just like he said, they gained priceless experiences. DAT LAUGH!

(which isn't a bad show but no way it can compare to this) I couldn't care less about overall rating. This deserves 8/10 from me at least for now. And that is the highest score among the ongoing shows that I'm watching. I don't give more than 8 easily, especially for the unfinished shows. |
