| "She found out, She found out, She found out" DAMN THIS. I MIGHT GET A HEART ATTACK. |
| A lot of people of had mixed feeling about Taichi before this episode. Do his good intentions, though inexperienced and with a single perspective sense of righteousness, shine through to make him a likable character or not? In this episode, Taichi came clean and my distaste of him cleared up. But all this points to the question of how one should analyze a character. Should we have accepted Taichi for who he is, a well-intentioned, average, selfish teenager, or questioned him on the poor decisions (or lack thereof) he makes? One way to answer the question is to consistent with the answer one gives for Heartseed. If one believes Heartseed is well-intentioned and thus a good person, the same should be applicable to Taichi. On the other hand, Heartseed's malevolent actions might convince one that it is a manipulative and evil being, in which case, the same should be true for Taichi: despite Taichi's well-intentions, his inexperience and lack of thought in his actions should form the basis for judgement of his character. Since Aoki was given life for the first time in this episode, I feel obliged to say something about him. Even though Taichi has always been a few steps ahead of what Aoki himself wanted to be, it's refreshing to see him objective not filled with angst or jealously. |
| A chain of the controversies indisposed me to watch this show. |
 |
Crawken said: To me it is because much of what the others were doing centered around worrying about Yui, going to see her to try to drag her out, or fighting about/over her. In other words, her self confinement was causing trouble with the others in and of itself and thus probably was worth while to Heartseed just because of that. However, Inaba's 'issue' needs a little kick for it to really stir up trouble within the group.I'm a bit confused as to why he never showed up to Yui when she was doing the same thing that Inaba has been but to an even greater degree. |
 |
Those controversy can't stop me from watching this awesome show! Even though they hurt me so bad. But I will recover for sure after 2 days and went back to my Kokoro Connect mode!! >< I can't wait for the next episode!! XD |
| I was looking forward to some more Inaban flags, but I never had much hope to see her winning, so I guess it's over. I'm still curious to see how they will handle this. It took Heartseed a lot of time to visit someone. I thought the whole pressure of him making things worse would have been enough to force out anyone who thinks staying at home is a good idea (I'm looking at you Yui). 4/5. |
| They finally got Yui to go back to school and club. The group is almost back together again! Heartseed visited Inaba and let her remember her feelings for Taichi to shake things up. Things are going to get tense at camp! Who will he end up with? |

| Their hunger desires... hahaha I'm actually looking forward to next week, to see what happens on the school trip! |
| 「Icon credit to Milady666 ♡」 |
| I look forward to episode 10 (finale) of this arc greatly ~ |
| REALLY DIRTY THOUGHTS. He's a good man, that Aoki. And Heartseed appeared. He is the greatest alien-thing ever. |
 |
| Oh God.I sense Inaban-arc...fuck.After i saw preview and lonely/sad look in Iori's eyes my desire was unleashed, and now i really want to crash something badly.I just KNOW what will happen next even without reading all spolers, so yeah. I wish there is something like ''10 annoying characters'' on MAL to add, so i can add Inaba on top. Nice to see Heartseed again. 5/5. |
 |
| Poor Inaba. My heart goes out to her so much... Next episode is going to be amazing. Cannot wait <3 TaichixInaba forever! :D Great episode, nice build-up:) |
-MgZ_ said: "She found out, She found out, She found out" DAMN THIS. I MIGHT GET A HEART ATTACK. OMG. I FELT THE SAME EXACT WAY. <33333 |
-MgZ_ said: "She found out, She found out, She found out" DAMN THIS. I MIGHT GET A HEART ATTACK. lol :D Can't wait to see what Iori will say after finding it out... |
| lol the food part :P and omg the next episode is gonna be amazing ^o^ |
 |
| Nice try Aoki is that your plan to get into Yui's pants? major fail! Shit there is no running away from that guy. |
| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The episode was really good in terms of explaining multiple theories about will power through Aoki and as well as the Inaba segment that follows. The Iori x Taichi despite being short resolved rather nicely too. Here are my thoughts, About Iori x Taichi resolve and segment, I found a little too hyper Iori in the spoiler About Taichi/Aoki resolve, liked it a lot in 2 parts. First one in the spoiler The second part was the youth talk and I certainly like the sound of the expression itself being at my age. The nice thing over the segment is the marvel of scenery in the spoiler About Yui and Aoki/Taichi resolve segment, BEST FOR ME! I love DFC and therefore I love Yui not to mention her MOE in the following,  CANNOT BE BEATEN! Why? Pouting + blushing + MOE = deadly combo and the MOE/blushing effect IMO is balanced out expression wise. Truly I cannot see how much amazing it was if already the nice imagination of Aoki in the spoiler
Other than that I liked Aoki’s theory of Will power overwriting emotional response being 10 folded in power. That was rather interesting of Aoki and will power notion itself. It’s quite possible as he mentions. Depends on your will in thee end. About Inaba segment, oh the terrible shit I wish to do with Heartseed by seeing his COCK UGLY FUNGUS POSSESSING SPIRITUAL SHIT FACE in the following,  Particularly when he made Inaba feel like he did in the spoiler That being said got to thank for seeing Inaba’s mother in the spoiler BTW Image Stitches and Pic Dump in the BLOG: http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/09/image-stitches-and-pic-dump-of-kokoro.html Whom has nice Yui ones. While speaking of fan service the new poster of this month in the spoiler Shows the girls rather nicely in swimsuits, which reminds me that there most likely shall not be a beach episode from the looks of this series which makes it very nice to have such a poster. |
| Inaba's middle school life is like my entire life. |
| Good to see Yui goes back to school again, but i don't quite understand why Aoki choses those kind of perverted words.. :D Next episode would be interesting i hope!! :D |
| Looks great as always. Obviously they got everyone but Inaban back together and fine. I guess now the focus is on her and the new twist after fully realizing her feelings. Looking forward to what's next, especially since it's their first time outside of school (and other usual settings). 5/5 |
 |
| Well, it's nice to see Yui finally getting over it and returning to school. And Heartseed pays a personal visit to Inaba. Shit is gonna get real next episode. |
 |
| I'm with Heartseed on this one. it was getting boring with Inaba taking the path of least resistance and i'm actually glad Heartseed came to shake her up. |
| Inaba is my favorite character, if she end up alone I'll dislike this good anime... |
 |
rainbowdashmimi said: hopelimdo said: Inaba is my favorite character, if she end up alone I'll dislike this good anime... Dude, the novels. Read the novels. Volume one is 95 % almost finish and the second VL is getting a move on, but oh my god, don't worry. Inaba will remain fit (: Also, the light novels are better because you'll get a epilogue with her inner thoughts that may not be mention in the anime ._. Thanks for the infos, I'll search for the novels. |
|
| Another wonderful episode. I especially liked the fact that at this episode we learn that their most trivial of desires can also be unleashed. This had some nice comedic effect when the three of them were presented with the pile of food. |
 |
| Oh fuck looks like Inaba is gunna end up revealing it to Iori next episode, time for some epic love drama. Ughh I am hoping that this will all end with Iori and Taichi still together since I ain't a Inaba fan. Doesn't look good tho. Great to see Yui back to her cheerful self again. |
 |
| Man, Heartseed is a really good antagonist. His slow, disinterested voice is perfect for this 'un-human' observer character! |
 |
| For one of the close to last episodes the shitty art is enough to make me cry and idk, the plot just feels so predictable and...blah. idk, I feel let down. |
 |
| i actually really love heartseed. he's the only one who can pull out the true feelings of the character, ESPECIALLY Inaba. I love love loved it when he visited her and gave her that shock... so excited to see what the aftermath will be c: |

| Nice episode, I wonder what a gap in their memory really means. Will they really forget about everything? Eksta said: Inaba's middle school life is like my entire life. True that. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| It's getting pretty interesting now. |
 |
| I wanted to see Yui and Aoki in a love hotel. :( |
 |
| Hmm, it doesn't seem like Heartseed shook things up all that much to me.. |
 |
| Ah, so everyone makes up ... it's nice to see more of Aoki :3 I actually thought Yui said yes to the love hotel idea LOL XD Well in any case it's good that they've made up ... the scene with Aoki and Yui was ADORABLE! Same with Taichi and Iori's scene ... now all that's left is Inaba! :O So Heartseed was talking to Inaba not Goto ... no clue how I mixed them up lol o_O So basically he just wants Inaba to stop "hiding"? That's an interesting way of doing it ... I wonder what he means when he said Goto wouldn't mind gaps in his memory? No idea if that's going to be important or not though ... School trip next episode! I wonder how this will turn out ... looks like someone discovers Inaba's "secret feelings" about someone ... I wonder if those are her feelings for Taichi? Or maybe someone else? :O |
| It would be more interesting if it's not Taichi since it would be too simple. a Iori/Inaba couple would be nice |
| I guess that was supposed to be a relieving episode. It went totally fine. I'm waiting for things to get actually interesting... Wait, do I start to sound like Heartseed? No way..! |
  |
| Aoki telling Yui how much he loved her and all his thoughts was really sweet. I actually think Heartseed's visit to Inaba will change things a lot. She's finally admitted to herself her feelings for Taichi (I assume that's what it is) so it's bound to get very interesting. |
| Yep like thought a buildup... it almost reached it climax lets see what's next... the food scene was quite funny :p |
 |
| This episode was really awesome. I feel I can give this anime a 10/10 now. It just has amazing amount of drama. I loved the part when Aoki asks Yui to go to a love hotel, Just an epic win win and when Yui said "I will go", simply awesome. |
 |
| Aw! Taichi had an epiphany! Good for him, too. He always tries so hard ;-; "His head is usually in the right place, even if his methods aren't the best." Omg Aoki: "Let's enjoy our youth!" "I'm confident that my desire not to hurt you will always be stronger." Too much cuteness >w< Glad the band's getting back together, and now Inaba's up for her "trial". Next episode should really get the ball rolling for the rest of the show. Also, at first I'd wondered if Inaba had feelings for Iori, then I was certain it was Taichi... after all the suspicious images the OP/ED gave us /subliminal messaging. But it would be cool if they went all left field and made her crush Iori or something. We'll see. Loving the development of all the characters so far and am waiting for romance to bloom >o< |
