A weird change in atmosphere summarizes this ep.

Did yui get raped before?
Actually this could be quite possible, she or an acquaintance of her being molested or raped before.

It may seem like an overused plot device, but (and depending upon whose statistics you believe) there is strong evidence to support that at least 20% of women experience sexual assault during their life.

So much for the moral high ground Inaba...
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Quite a sinister turn. I definitely liked the person who possessed the teacher. The demeanour, as well as physical prowess were superb. As was the lack of motivation.

Looking forward to the next episode.

I really liked this episode, it took like this dark twist but quickly came back to what it was. The last part of the episode definitely made me laugh.

Ever since the first episode, in spite of the comedic nature of the series, I get the feeling that this is going to be a sleeper drama hit for this season. If they can keep a good balance going this show has the potential to be awesome.
Harems don't exist in America. If one guy is constantly surrounded by beautiful girls, then he's probably the gay friend.

So.......really good episode. What the heck was that thing that possessed the teacher? I hope they explain more about the body-swapping later on. The thing's explanation for why they were picked was pretty funny. And what it about when it will stop. That thing just seems kinda neutral and likes to screw with people? I'm sure there will still be the deeper meaning of helping them connect with each other or something.

Oh well. Really good episode. Really like this series so far. I expect it will get more serious the more the characters are explored. I actually can't wait to see all the dark secrets everyone has, although a few are obvious already.

Exactly my words, but I think I won't forget them anytime soon, I did my homework.
Nice episode, I was surprised that this show actually had some kind of story, I thought it would be random slice of life stuff.

It's getting really interesting. Guess I'm not alone in thinking Yui might have been sexually assualted judging from her shying away from Iori in Aoki's body.

Great episode!! I just need to remember the names of the characters so I don't get confused when they switch.


I have the same problem. I'm not good with names and i get confused trying to figure out who is who.

Netto_Azure said:
This is starting to get interesting. If people start swapping a lot, what does it mean to be one's self? :3


Strong question but i guess it depends on what you think "personality" is. I believe that what defines me is the core of my thoughts and beliefs and how i analyze things about the world am living. Basically my core of logical processing thought.
That will not change no matter what my body looks like.
But if someone believes that personality is a pattern of behavior then that can change depending on the body you are in because people will react differently to you based on your outside appearance and that will affect your own behavior. For example a person with a strong athletic body and good looks may have a behavior full of confidence but if it finds itself in a fat weak ugly body then is very possible that confidence will disappear and the way that person behaves will change accordingly.

Taichi was featured quite a bit. Even when he switched bodies with Yui, they only showed Taichi (as Yui) running to the bathroom. Quiet time with Nagase and then switch again with Inaba.

Taichi is, so far, my favorite character.

I have a feeling we're going to see a lot of character reveals in order for them to "act" as the other person.

I didn't expect this to be so good. Actually launching a physical attack, discussing breast sizes, pondering on what makes an individual that specific person...I actually feel like watching real people reacting to a situation. I hope it keeps this up, loving the hell of it so far 5/5.

The more I watch this the more enjoyable I find it. I just love watching them end up in funny situations after they switch bodies. Lol at what Inaba said at the end. And it was good to see some serious developments in this episode too, with them finding out just a little bit more of what's going on. Also it looks like Yui has some serious problems of her own and Iori's problem with her parents is now out in the open.

I am loving this ED song so much right now, and the OP song is great as well.

Hmmm Yui seems like a victim of attempted sexual harassment? So far the characters are pretty bland except for Nagase who is a little more interesting because of her upbeat personality.

Hahaha, good job Inaba for shipping Taichi x Iori. I'm still not convinced though.

So, the thing that causing them to switch personality has been revealed. I think it's kinda nonsense though, but character roles in this serie are really strong, so I think this will be good regardless of bad reasoning (experiment, eh?)

Heartseed seems to be behind the body swapping. Most likely, he's not of earth.
The series shows there will be future drama by the look of things, and not so simple like the first episode.
Iori seems to have an under layer she wont show anyone. Maybe her usual happy go lucky self is just a facade. Maybe it's just covering hidden wounds and problems.

The scene with the teacher seemed more menacing than it might have been intended. At least I don't think that we are going to see some violence of the type of yandere characters, are we?

Anyway this is getting good, I'm glad I decided to pick this up!

The whole heartseed thing and blondie attacking the teacher was unnecessary and well, cheesy. The overreaction from blondie to Iori's living alone = forced drama. Let me guess, she was molested as a kid?

I do love those little moments added in (stomach growling, characters throwing cute quips at one another) and I look forward to the building drama. I only hope the next episodes are better than this one.

What I don't like about this body switching concept is that I STILL DON'T GOT THEIR NAMES DOWN! Makes it very confusing for a person like me who takes at least 2 episodes to memorize a whole casts name.

Other then that, not too bad of an episode really. Nothing spectacular happened though.

The art reminds me so much of K-ON ;P Oh and I LOVE how the preview leads into the ED for some reason XD
So Goto is part of this ... I was wondering why he was in the OP and everything. What is this, an alien overtaking his body and switching them for fun?! Looks like it ... it's not like he explained it or anything XD I think it's actually interesting how we find out about them while they're in different bodies and how they react to different situations, like what Yui was saying to Iori o_O
Ahaha, so Inaba gets her revenge on Taichi ... can't wait to see what happens next episode! :P

The fact that Yui moved away by reflex when a guy tried to brush her makes me predict there's gonna be a lot of character development soon.

The first episode was exciting because it centered around a supernatural cause, but then it turns out to be controlled by some Alien guy called Heartseed. Really? Heartseed?

Other than the cheesy name and choice of antagonist, this episode was great.

I'm not the only one who thinks that Yoshi didn't really swap with Nagase that time, am I?

I believe the purpose of all this swapping is for the members to get to know each other better.

You've got an interesting point.
