Kokoro Connect for me is a under-the-radar anime about 5 friends who start a club and one day have there lives changed by unexpected events. Supernatural is the key to the show but what makes Kokoro Connect so special are the characters. Everyone of them shine and keep your attention thoughout the 13-episode season. There is alot of short arcs that span threw the season and while not perfect they show what friendship is all about.
Story-8
The story starts out strong with a interesting plot of 5 friends switching body's and going back and fourth between each other. As the main members try to understand the supernatural....things only go down-hill from there. As with all plots we have only so much patience with a rushed script or sloppy pacing and I'm Afraid Kokoro Connect suffers from these points. But the story kept me interested and I did not stop watching until I finished all 13 episodes.
Art-10
I really enjoyed the colors and the show looks really pretty in 1080p. I just think they did a awesome job animating the backgrounds and characters. One can only hope to see more of this animation style.
Sound-10
I felt it and it touched and moved me. I loved every moment of the Ost soundtrack and give this a blazing 10/10
Character-10
I felt, understood, laughed, and wish I could have been in that clubroom! Inaba, Himeko is my favorite character of the show and I would have loved to have her as a good friend. Yaegashi, Taichi kept the show going and for some reason got the most screen time. Kiriyama, Yui and Aoki, Yoshifumi are great on the time they are given but lack more time to define there characters. Nagase, Iori is a laughable cutie who just might win you over. I enjoyed everyone of these characters and did not dislike any and that's saying alot. As we get to understand them and learn there pasts and regrets we come to understand why some secrets are best kept hidden. When they are in that clubroom that is when there characters shine and they won't holdback on giving you the viewer a good time!
Enjoyment-10
I was expecting a anime about simple events. What I got was what I expected but man the characters caught my attention right from the first episode and never let go. They had chemistry and frankly that is all I ask for in a anime. It's not about the setting it''s about the characters being interesting and for me kokoro Connect succeeds on all fronts.
Overall-10
Go watch this show it will past by just like that. The ending leaves much to be desired but the characters alone and the chemistry between them will get you threw Kokoro Connect in no time. Some pasts are better left untouched but will you except a friends help to move on. Kokoro Connect asks these questions and give the viewer a hell-of-a-good-time!!!
