| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

The next arc, Volume 4 Michi Random is still under translation on BakaTsuki. As of time of posting 3 chapters are completed. If all goes smoothly, the rest of the volume should be completed by Halloween... hopefully. |

| Good series, but way too many plot holes/unanswered questions to say it was really "spectacular". xD Looking forward to the 4 specials to conclude the series! |

| I had absolutely no expectations for this show when i started watching it... But it was very freaking good, even with all the unanswered questions. |
| huh? |
| Been a while but I though the whole misunderstand was quite nicely cleared and all. Comes my other question why now only 13? Rest of the episodes are OVAs now? WTF is going on and there is no explanations for it around. At least I looked around. |

After finishing this show I feel a remarkable amount of sympathy for this dog: |

| Glad this isn't the last we'll see of Kokoro Connect. There are still issues to clear, after all! Iori's musings (about Taichi being a good person and whether or not she really likes him) in the end doesn't really surprise me. After all, Inaba pointed it out rather early in the show, saying that Iori needed someone to rely on, and Taichi is the kind of person who love to help others, so he was a perfect candidate; but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're in love. From the start, I thought their declarations of love came a little early and with too little substance to build on. I'm guessing this probably means that Taichi will get together with Inaba instead, which is sad since I'm not really a fan of that pairing. I like Inaba respectively, but I find Taichi a bit annoying because of his I-must-save-the-day-and-help-everyone attitude. Iori is really cute though, and she's able to both joke around but also be serious and deep when the situation calls for it. I lol'd at Iori's mom telling of her "Second Father", it was great. Though it's pretty ironic that they both endured him for the same reason; it's a good example of how important communication is. I definitely would've said yes to getting a second chance in life. Who wouldn't? I really, really, really enjoyed this, and I'm looking forward to the sequel. Speaking of sequel, does anybody know when it airs? |

Marow said: I have a better way to sum up Kokoro Connect: "Great ideas, poor execution." Now, I wouldn't call Kokoro Connect a bad show, not at all, but it certainly had ideas that could've made it superb. But for it to work, these ideas would each have to be given much more episodes. In other words, they should've ignored the source material. 24 episodes of bodyswapping? Now THAT, if played right, would be great. I agree with you. The first arc was definitely the best, the show just went downhill from there. I would have given it a 9/10 for the body-swapping episodes, but then the second arc bored me to death. Kako Random was based off an interesting idea, but definitely suffered from poor execution. Also, there was too much forced drama throughout the series, and the way Balloon Vine resolved everything ("Oh sorry, not my fault, you're back to normal, see ya :)") was even more forced. Hito - 9/10 Kizu - 5/10 Kako - 6.5/10 Overall 7/10 |
| I don't understand why this anime is so popular and people love it. Especially Inaba really annoyed me in the whole series. And last scene in the final episode, Iory says whether she likes Taichi or not sucksss. |
| Oh man, Iori asking for help was so touching and beautiful. |
 |
| When are the rest of the 4 episodes going to be released.Want to watch them right away. |

katzer said: I've already seen this thread, but it's 40 pages =O, i read some of the spoilers, and they were saying that the last volume in the main story was the 7, but i must have seen it wrong. The confusion is mostly due to how some people try to categorize the "Main story" volumes and the "Short story" volumes. Technically, volume 1-4, 6, 7, 9 and the upcoming 10th next year are the main story, totally 7 arcs (the Asu arc aka the final arc is splitted into 9 & 10). While volume 5 and 8 are short stories. Though I'd argue it's easier to remember it by publishing number or the arc title =.=; At least that's what I try to insist in that novel thread. |

| Waaa. :) What a nice ending but the last part isn't really needed. Why did they add that part!!! >< If Iori doesn't love Taichi then I won't watch the other 4 episodes next year. I don't care about it anymore if it's going to be like this.. I was always been your fan Iori. I was rooting for you and Taichi so please don't change. :(( |
| This last episode was pretty dumb. Why the hell would Taichi tell them about what the second told him, knowing full well that there were going to be really bad consequences. Really stupid and unrealistic. Episode was rushed and Iori's problems were made to appear very minor by the end of it. I'm not very satisfied with this "final" episode. Hopefully the next 4 episode arc will be better. |
 |
| Probably the next arc will be about Lori x Taichi x Inaba .....xD |
 |
| Very nice anime, can't wait to see more of Kokoro Connect and Himeko-chan in the future :) |
| Mm, so the times got random because Taichi told ... oh dear :P Finally dealt with Iori's problem ... looks like she and her mom had the same thoughts! XD Glad that her "father" wasn't much of a problem at all Interesting offer from Heartseed. To be honest it was obvious she'd decline because of "I am who I am now because of everything that's happened" but I'd LOVE to see someone accept one of these days -_-" It would have been so interesting! Nice touch when Inaba and Taichi grabbed her hands though ... that was really nice :3 Happy ending for everyone ... Yui starts karate again and Yui and her mom seem a lot closer now. I expect the next episodes will solve the love triangle ... I mean Iori's doubting her feelings! D: Don't tell me he's going to end up with Inaba?! T_T Is everything with Heartseed over though? What about #2? Plus the way it kept the camera on his back for a while ... hmmm ... ;O Overall this was a pleasant surprise. I mean I was expecting a humour SOL show and this was more serious and better than I expected. Nice art (though sloppy at times) and I liked the characters too, even if some of the pasts were heavily cliched. It was definitely fun to watch and I got chills sometimes too! Always a good sign :P I liked the music as well (nice OP/ED songs mostly) and good to see problems being dealt with ... mostly XD So I'll go ahead and give this a 8/10 |
| Overly dramatic anime just for the sake of being overly dramatic! So many plot holes, so many questions and in the end despite a few good episodes and admittedly a very nice development of the characters, this anime didn't do much and it just left us wondering......I guess a lot of these questions can be resolved in the last 4 episodes, but for now, I'm rating these 13 episodes. 6/10 |
| This was a nice ending episode and I loved it. The way that they capped off everything with one more drama involving Iori and her mom was nice to watch. And it was the drama that I had looked forward to the most. It sure was great to see Iori get past her thing with that dad and rely on the others more so she can truly be more happy. Lol at them just needing to actually have a talk to clear up a misunderstanding and at the way that Iori's mom kicked that bum out. Oh man at what Iori was wondering at the end about whether or not she actually loves Taichi. :/ Damn it, I hope she clears up those feelings and realize that she actually does. Overall this anime was great imo and I loved it. The characters were pretty well developed and I ended up liking everyone even though I started out thinking that Inaba was annoying. The dramas were all really awesome and I enjoyed it a lot. Can't wait to see the next arc with those extra 4 eps. |
 |
| Final episode about Iori was done very good I guess I'll have to look out for ova's now |
| I loled when the mom replied back "No" so normally. Loved the series, can't wait for the final 4. Sure it wasn't a tearjerker like Ano/Hana but I was entertained and kept wanting for more. I was also amazed how the comedy parts were put in without making it seemed "put in." Something not that many series can pull off so successfully. |
| A very enjoyable series. Can't wait for the final 4. |
| So it never occurred to them to ask each other: "Mom, do you like your abusive second husband?" "I don't know dear, do you like your abusive father?" "Agreed, he's got to go." Interesting series, I agree with everyone on how the body swap arc was done the best. I still think the inner desires arc could have been expanded on. |
| T_____T Teared up when Iori was on the bridge talking about "who she is" and everything. I've really loved this series, I've connected to all the characters really well, I feel like they're my friends :') Can't wait to watch the final four episodes. |
| Ok, not a bad episode, but mostly I'm glad because it's not the last one. This arc is probably my favorite one. I wonder what's in there for the 4 episodes left. I also hope that Iori is still in love with Taichi =\ 1. Characters. +1. I think there isn't much surprise for anyone that I give KC point here. It's character were awesome, and not only the main ones - there were very good secondaries too. I guess my favorite would be Taichi, despite Aoki was quite cool too. 2. Atmosphere. +1. Some may say there was nothing special about it - just the atmosphere of an ordinary world. But I think that this is exactly the strong poing of Kokoro Connect - despite there was supernatural aspect of the story, still everything was running with such a realistic feeling.. 3. OST. +1. There were cool OPs and EDs, and the last ED was just awesome. The background themes were good enough too. 4. Animation. +1. One of my most favorite animations ever. The character design and everything else was just 10/10 imo. 5. Background story. +1. The pasts of the characters were one of the strong points of the characters. I think they were well-made. 6. Storyline. +1. It was a great one - every part of what the characters had to go through, they developed themselves consistently. Not for once I felt bored while watching this story 7. Ending. Probably this is the only aspect of the anime I'm not gonna award, but it's for a reason, I guess - there wasn't an actual ending, I gotta watch the 4 episodes left ^^ . 9. Drama. +1. Yeah, even if most of the air was calm, there were quite dramatic moments, probably the best one being the almost-death of Iori. 10. Overall affect. +1. I'll surely remember this anime, it's one of the best I've seen. There was always this tension in the air, because of which you just couldn't be carefree - maybe the strongest point of this anime. The friendship of the StuCS developed this well just because of it. Also, the choices the characters made throughout the story were inspirational and some of them - really moving. Overall score: 9/10. My most favorite summer 2012 anime, I want to see more shows like this one. |

| Great final episode, and well there's still more I do wonder what's next but for this the story has already developed amazing and had a great ending! Loved the first concept the most but all the arc's concepts where quite interesting and had their unique trades. Great anime in general I'm looking forward for the 4 specials. 9/10 |
 |
| Great series overall, the premise was genius and the fact that I know there are 4 episodes left makes it that much better. I'll leave my sentimental comment there ^^. Iori handled the situation this episode beautifully. That bridge scene was just perfect (Heartseed #1 is a BRO). Oh yeah, Iori's mom went GAR mode on that sorry punk lmfao. That was too funny. That final quote from Iori... really looking forward to the last 4 episodes! 8.5/10! |
| I'm not saying that the episode was bad, but i think they seriously passed over an opportunity to really make this anime something else when they decided to not make Taichi's memories become a conflict...for most of the show he's been the one that helps everyone else, i feel it would have been a more powerful ending if they all helped him overcome a problem than lori's story...that and it was no secret since episode 1 that she had problems at home and her mom was a part of it I also feel that Heartseed coming in like that and relieving them of the aging before the conflict ends, was a pretty weak way to both end an arc and an easy way out of coming up with a solution for the gang to overcome the situation, i was expecting something a bit more interesting and dramatic for an anime that normally has had really good ways of overcoming each dilemma in the arc. 7/10 for the this episode, 9/10 for the season, hopefully the OVA is also a good one |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| Good first episodes, but just terrible towards the end. |
| Finally a bit of Aori after a long bit. Now off to watch michi special. 9.5/10 for me for this amazing anime. |
 |
| This arc didnt provoke any strong emotions for me :/. The ending didn't take itself seriously. The way they just booted him out like an annoying 5yr old was just bland because it didn't really take a certain direction. If the answer was going to be that simple then at least make it funny. I agree that the first arc was the unique idea that got me hooked but it was the only part well worth my time. And Aoki... Way to be a douche to your former love interest! If you have the goal to show up in person, then at least hang out like old friends do! Nana probably thinks you're a freak now for just plopping out of nowhere like that. |
