My son, who is twelve, has been watching this with me, though he has NOT seen this episode yet. I'm generally very open with him about sex and explain as needed with the questions as they come up, often in the context of an anime show we are watching together. I myself like to think I don't have any hangups about the topic. However...

I am not ready for him to watch this episode!

Anyway, while I thought it was an awesome episode, the part I think I liked best was the background music being played while Inaba explained to Taichi about her inability to trust anybody.


It definitely has a more mature theme than the other anime this season

Was Inaba being serious at the end there or just mocking Taichi?

It's not so much the mature theme. He's seen scenes were sex between two characters was talked about or even implied (he watched all of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san with me, for instance) and we've talked about the basic 'mechanics' of it, but I'm not ready to talk about that specific topic

(excuse me while I go freak out)

What if after Iori jumps off the bridge and suddenly swaps bodies with someone. That would mean that she had killed a person and that she now has to live in that person's body from now on. Imagine the guilt she would have to live through.

Inaba is the best girl. Iori is a close second.

I actually think she was being serious.Her face was saying shes mocking him, but we can kinda see she have a thing for Taichi...doing it is just wrong, but my guess is that she wasnt joking at all >_>

Best Ending ever xD This show is soo win^^
Suddenly I find Inaban very attractive^^
Hard to believe the original source was not a visual novel, 'cause every heroine seems worth getting ;-)
I hope Aoki won't become just a side character, currently Taichi's the big playboy^^
Can't wait for next ep <3

Inaba I understand you perfectly girl, but I was thinking about something much more worse. At least we know that Taichi is a normal teenage boy, not portrayed as the perfect gentleman.

People masturbate while thinking about people they know. Nothing new with that. Next episode looks good. I'm just wondering if Aoki will have any relevance. Right now he just seems like a side character while the story revolves around Taichi and the three girls.

The preview left me wondering.

What happens if someone's body dies while other person soul is on them?

both body and current soul die and the swapped soul which lost it's body will stay in a body not belonging to them for evah?

or Will the swap end and the souls will reswap so they body1 dies along with soul1?

because something like: Iori jumps, while she falls blonde dude swapp with her, Iori's body die along with blond dude soul, and Iori is now trapped within blonde guy body.

Who cares about years of trauma when you have Taichi. One consultation with Dr.Taichi and you'll be worry free, it doesn't even take more than 15 minutes and best of all it's for FREE!

A third possibility: body 1 dies, soul 2 is not attached to body 1 and thus is able to return to body 2, but soul 1 has nowhere to go and also stays in body 2.

Mind you, I don't think Iori is actually doing what the preview implies, at least, not on purpose.

what if body1 dies with soul2 stuck somewhere, and soul2 dies with body2 being a zombie :O (more tragic for both parties, but less logical).

yeah I couldn't help but feel that in the second half of the episode with inaba, it kind of felt like a conveyor belt of traumatised highschool girls all looking to fall for Taichi :O!
still I'm liking this show - although there probably is something that's been done terribly (someone always says something bad about any anime) I can't see/hear anything here.
+1 for realism as well, whilst still keeping that "sparkly" feel of slice of life, so it doesn't feel too much like a fairy tale like some other SoL shows do.

^ I agree with this as well.

I gave a little guess earlier but I just thought of this now, in the preview it said "how do you feel about Iori, Taichi?" what if after Inaba said this she switched bodies with Iori and then jumped off?
Just another guess. Though I think this one is pretty unlikely.

Indeed. So much for normal teen. This guy is a master mentalist with skills beyond those of professional hypnotherapists.

OK, being serious, it's not like their traumas are cured, he just gave them hope that it can be healed or worked around.

I hope that relationship between Taichi and Inaba will now be friendship only , otherwise this anime will become too unreal in things that it wants to be super-real and mature. Making me unable to rate it highly. Great development so far. This show really is a surprise.

It better not be serious with the name of the next episode! If Iori dies, I'm not watching anymore! I'm tired of seeing tragedy anime! I've seen too many now! Clannad, Kanon, School Days (actually that one pissed me off). Though I actually love Clannad. But I don't want anything bad happening in this one!

Freaking awesome.
I loved the secrets and almost died laughing and then got aroused at the end lol.


Anyways. I think taichi loves someone else besides iori and that escalates into her wanting to kill herself or something. What is the true color of the white knight i wonder? Maybe the fact that he likes his friends love interest (Yui) so its kind of like backstabbing idk.

Awww. TaichixInaba forever. I know he loves Nagase, but I like these two together better. I'm so happy they didn't avoid the girl masturbating topic like most animes do. (because it makes a girl less "innocent") It makes this anime really unique. Just for that, I'd bump it up a few scores :)

Kokoro Connect and Natsuyuki Rendezvous makes this season amazing! <3

And oh haha, I'm falling for Taichi too. Nice guys don't finish last after all ;)

Lesson learned: If you tell a girl you masturbated to them, they tear up and start to fall in love with you.

Holy shit this was so damn good! Finding out Iori's secret that she has multiple personalities and has never been her 'true self'. Surprising to see Iori being serious about it.

Best part of the episode was with Inaba and Taichi. Inaba is actually a worrywart, worries about the body swap thing the most. Taichi's confession was so fucking hilarious. He masturbates to all 3 girls. Having heard that, Inaba is still fine with that. Best part was when she whispers to Taichi, 'I've masturbated to you too'. Omfg I laughed so hard. Inaba and Taichi are great together.

Holy shit @ the preview for the next episode though. Iori commits suicide? WHAT!
