| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  The first half of this episode reminded me a good old fashioned fight. Sucker punches to this punk: I'm glad Iori and Inaba made up again tbh. Friends gotta stick together. Poor Taichi this episode as well ;.; but I liked a cute Inaba this episode just as Tachi says. Overall, I give Kokoro Connect: Michi Random 8/10. Nice to see the series again. |
 |
| WOAH! Didn't expect some thugs to actually pull weapon out in this show, but well... Iori's complete revival! In the end, she was overthinking things just like Himeko noted. Just do whatever she wants should be fine. And so Iori x Taichi did happen and has ended. Himeko x Taichi started! I would really like to see the next phase of this show, but there isn't much hope. |
 |
| Well it was a great ending^^ You know exactly where their relationships are, and all the issues are closed. Still I really want to know what the fusenkazura is... |
 |
| I loved the whole confession scene, Dereban was so adorable. I was a bit sad to see the "I'm glad I fell in love with you," part, but whatever. I like Dereban x Taichi anyways. I'm glad everyone made up with Iori. This was great. 8/10 |
| I don't understand Iori's character anymore. So what, her dark character was just to express her stress? Now she's back to faking her smiling face. Overall, I thought the arc started out nicely; I really liked the concept. But the development... I really didn't like. I don't think the simply minded Taichi understand Iori even at the end. Taichi just blindly says "I like Iori even now." I don't understand Iori anymore. Yeah also, the telepathy thing turned into we-will-use-it-to-defeat-the-villians. Just like Inori said, it's not even random. In the end, cheerful ending. Iori back to where she started; it is like it never happened!(?) Right, I should have never compared Iori to Chia from Bungaku Shoujo (refer to my previous episodes posts). I expected way too much. Iori's character depth is no where close to Chia''s. |

| The guy with the knife is truly stupid and crazy. He need to be sent to a psychopathic hospital. So everything is back to normal! It was nice to see Iori's depression, I enjoyed Aki Toyosaki's acting! :) |
| Why did this arc feel like a repeat of an older arc with Iori? Same story, different gimmick. Seems like a waste of potential more than anything. And fuck yes, for Himeko! |
| The chip in my mind, it summons me. I gave my life to your machines. |
| I loved it, even after reading the novels based on this arc I loved it just as much as I would've without experiencing the story beforehand. I will be spending the rest of my days waiting in hope for a second season to be announced. :'( |
| "we don't know if this is really over yet but we hope it is!" |
 |
| that idiot trio seemed kind of unneeded rofl. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK dere inaba SO MUCH HNGGGGGG. goddamn. taht was just too goddamn cute after watching her tsuntsun through the series Mod Edit: No reaction images. |

Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| So the series has ended and we still don't know a damn thing more about Heartseed and his ulterior motives behind messing with the cultural research club. Other than that, the ending was satisfying I guess, managed to get in a few laughs with the ending four episodes. Inaba x Taichi was also a nice bonus. |
| Go ***k yourself. Polite as usual, lightXTC |
| Inaba x Taichi are so adorable!! What a great ending to a great anime :) These last 4 episodes were simply fantastic! |
| Perfect place to end the season. Even if we won't get more(which is most probable) it was a good watch. And yeah. This arc was the best one for me. Too bad Maiko will never get Iori ) |
 |
| needs more, dereban! NAO! talk about a way to start the new year, loved this so much, it's a pitty we probably won't be getting anymore :( |
| "I feel alive cause I'm a loser today and so I'll be tomorrow I feel insane but that's my nature and I'll never change for your better Behind the veil there is a lunatic with his out of tune emotions Madness saved me from all of your average lies - average lies" |
| Derebannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
 |
| This arc was almost as good as the 1st one but I still had some issues that isn't the shows fault but just as how I think I would've approached this whole situation. Everyone in the club was trying to get the club back to her "normal" self which from the very beginning I knew was the wrong way to go about fixing this whole thing. They just kept making it worse by telling Iori to go back to her old self instead of being who she wants to be. Each time one of them had a 1 one 1 convo I though each time they were going to ask "What is it you want Iori?" but alas. However I can understand how they didn't see what the core fundamental issue was since they are only what 14-15 max? I was glad with how this last arc ended up with the resolution between the love triangle. It was done in a poignant way too in the dream sequence only to fade away to Inaba. On that note, Inaba was so cute in this arc being forward with her feelings. Especially in that confession she just had me laughing the whole time. Oh Miyuki Sawashiro I mean Dereban..... Since the controversy the probably of a season 2 is nil which while I'm said on one hand on the other I'm fine with since there was a sense of resolution with this conclusion. I guess the mystery of Heartseed will remain unresolved in the anime at least |
| Dereban, just... WOW. Inaba showing her emotions like that and being with Taichi now.... that made me so freaking happy. I am EXTREMELY happy with this :3 |
| Well, the hostage situation was quickly taken care thanks to Yui's karate skills and Iori's distraction. Still felt random and out of place, IMO. Dat Inaba....super cute! |
 |
| I'm so happy for Dereban. :'D I don't know if I want another season because this felt like the end of the emotional rollercoaster, but there are still so many questions. I would still be happy if this is end for the anime(I know there's more plot in the LN after this) because I don't know if I can handle more of the drama they have to go through. D: This was my favorite series of 2012 and these last few episodes were amazing. |
 |
| So they took the best girl route after all! I am so damn happy! Dereban any day! That scene when her confession went all messed up! <3 9/10 for the amazing run! One of the best specials I have seen! Just had to share this: So glad that I finished the last day of the year with this! |

| i like inaba as much as i like iori and this is one of those endings i like because it didnt end as predicatable like main male main female ending together but i would really love this if there is alternative ending with iori(maybe just a wishfull thinking) |
| Inabaaaaaan why you so cute x) They ended up things quite nicely. I am glad that I watched this! |

And your post made me upload this xD EDIT: Does anyone have any idea what is the name of the sound track used when Taichi was talking to Iori while unconscious? |

| As a series I give it a 10. There were some moments I felt like crying because you can't help but connect with the characters on a personal level if the same events occur in your life without ever realizing it. Anime gold right here <3 |

| I really enjoyed these specials. Hoping there's a season 2 somewhere down the line, but if not then I'm satisfied with this at the least, it gave a good sense of closure. |

| Somewhere between a 9 and a 10. In the end I'm glad he chose Inaban just because it looks so cute when that tsun turns to dere.... I don't know how sales went, but if there are 5 LN left, surely we can get a second season--even though I don't know how they could get a better ending (other than IorixTaichixInaba but I am in the minority in prefering plural relationships...). |
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 |
| Great way to end the year. A lot of things were left unclear but such is the way of anime. Those three guys seemed completely random to me but oh well. And maaan that sucker punch by Iori, was so damn satisfying to see her give it to her. I'm glad they became friends though, Setouchi and Iori that is. It was kind of anti-climatic though with the whole Iori deal. She was just stressed out? Well...I guess we all deal with stress in our own way but damn. And we learned absolutely nothing about Heartseed at all. Inaba x Taichi YEEEEEES!!! And dat Dereban, so damn cute. I lol'd at Inaba's mind confession, did she really say "Make love to me!" in the midst of all that? She's a lot more erotic than I first took her for lol. Taichi is a lucky son of a gun. I'm glad Taichi didn't end up with Iori to be honest, I never really liked her as a character overall...that and Himeko is a lot more interesting and cute. Definitely one of the best animes of 2012. 9/10. Anyone know how far the manga has gone? I'd like to start reading it but not sure how far it's come yet. |
Shinobuden said: I lol'd at Inaba's mind confession, did she really say "Make love to me!" in the midst of all that? Anyone know how far the manga has gone? I'd like to start reading it but not sure how far it's come yet. That's a mistranslation / joke by subbers. There's no "make love to me," just a pure and simple barrage of "suki suki daisuki". Novel has 9 volumes (the final 10th will be published next spring.) Vol.1, 3 and 4 are translated fully at Baka-Tsuki. Manga version has 25 chapters, currently covering the beginning of Kizu arc. |
| I really liked the last 4 episodes. This arc was pretty strong and showed great emotion between characters. The end was very satisfying, but I guess the heart seed mystery will remain unresolved. 8/10 for the last 4 episodes. |
 <3 |
| Dereban! Ohohoho, I strongly approve. :3 Michi Random was great and I really loved these last 4 episodes. It's nice to see that Iori made a new friend too. :) |
| I shouted the loudest yes! when that blonde head dude got deck, along side the his whole crew getting beat down you never hit i girl, that part piss me off, Yui kick some ass, look like all that skill wast just for show, after all that he chose Inaba, gotta be happy for shit shit the Glue that held everyone together (well her and Taichi) after all this being said glad to see everything work it self out. Dereban IS SO MUCH WIN! |
| What a great way to start the year!!! January the 1st! 2013! I completed an 8/10 Kokoro Connect! Body Swap still remained my favorite of all Kokoro Connect though. |

| That was pretty awesome, and a neat start to the year. I feel like Iori got a little left out of this arc..... But goddam how can anyone not love Dereban. I'd almost forgot how hilariously awkward this series was too. Not often am I moved from laughing my ass of to the verge of tears in 4 episodes. A very strong 8/10. |
| Great end to an amazing series, TaichixInaba all the way! Such an awesome way to start the year. |
 |
| > Novel has 9 volumes (the final 10th will be published next spring.) Tenth one really would be the last? Ah... stop. The last would be 11th cause one more side-story volume was promised too Eh. 5th and 8th are side-stories so they really could fit the rest in one season but we can't hope for it |

I thought it was strange since she didn't seem like that kind of girl. Thanks for the info! |
end3rr said: Am I the only one here who didn't like the sudden change of feelings that Taichi had? I respect this show alot, I really do, it even made me rethink about the way I'm living my life right now considering all of the life events that I went through, because of these last few episodes. But I really can't respect how the world Love is just thrown around so much. Am I missing something here, I thought Taichi really loved Iori, because of all of the things that they went through, and all of the sudden, with one hit in the head he turns to Inaban. Not only that, they even talked about starting their relationship over, I understand that Taichi didn't fully know Iori when he said those words, but he still knew enough. She was going through alot of changes in her life but that should give him more reason to be there for her and he was, but suddenly everything just changed. IORI JUST WENT THROUGH SOME REALLY PAINFUL STUFF AND TAICHI AND INABAN GETS TOGETHER THAT SAME WEEK. WTF! -____- Am I the only one here who was unsatisfied with this ending! I agree...Though the majority seems to focus on Inaban a lot more because of the ending. The sudden change of Taichi's feelings got me confused, they did say that they were going to start the relationship again, but then Taichi got together with Inaban, just seemed weird to me(Not weird, but not sure how to describe it) Overall I'll give it a 10/10, because I love this anime so much, though it did not reach the ending that I wanted. :/ |
