| I winced when Nagase hit her head. Next episode looks like Aoki might get to do something. I feel like the story just leaves him out to do nothing. |
| Everything fell apart, but maybe it is starting to come back together again? When that teacher showed up I was sure it was going to be Heartseed. It caught me off guard when it was actually the teacher. But it looks like Heartseed will be back in force next episode. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| omg the fight :'( everyone drifting apart. teacher being a teacher and giving advice. great ep |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Not the best episode but whatever it was still decent. Next week hopefully picks up again |
| Taichi was rather irritating this week, it was great to see that teacher's words getting to him by the end of ep. Paise Fujishima for being there as well. She's suddenly become so likeable btw. As always, preview is so intriguing that it really makes you want another episode right away. Looking forward to next week as usual. |

| Drifting apart, I knew it. Looks like next episode is helping to mend the relationship. Lol Taichi really is a selfless freak. Then again that's not a bad thing. |
 |
| This episode was a bit annoying to be completely honest.....I just wanted to smack Taichi across the face so much during the entire thing. He says he's worried about others but he completely ignored Nagase.....I understand why he did it....However, he needs to realize that he shouldn't just ignore her. That'll make everything worse. |
| Liked this episode less than the others, because of the lack of humour. But it's nice we have seen a little more of Fujishima. Next episode a Heartseed in Inaba's bedroom. Daihen! |

| I wonder how long Nagase is able to hold her imitated good mood up. And how Taichi hit her with his bag so she hit the cupboard.. aww poor Nagase.. :( Taichi's getting very annoying with his personality.. But there could finally be some mindswapping again. Even though that would confuse them even more and Heartseed does all that to "help" them understand each other.. which brings me to Inaba. She's the only one who's hiding something, the others already have resolved their issues (who loves who, who is frightened by which gender). I think she's the key to end all this. This anime is a really good surprise this season. |
 |
| Awesome episode once again. And again, Fujishima saves the day. |
| So much tension this episode, still don't like Nagase, needs more Inaba! I completely agree with that teacher! "You can't become true friends until you've experienced enough conflict." It is through conflict between friends that you can truly start to understand that person, and that is how best friends are made. |
| Excellent episode! Each episode further impresses me, as this second "gimmick" allows for a rewarding deconstruction of many character's faults and their varying levels of emotional fragility. The early conversation between Inaba and Taichi was great, but that small reconciliation certainly didn't have a lasting effect, as Inaba and Yui's emotional states continued to isolate them from the rest of the group. The obvious distance between each of the characters created an entirely new dynamic that was quite interesting to watch unfold. The argument between Taichi and Aoki caused yet another fracture within the group, thus separating them even further from one another. I really felt bad for Iori when her good intentions only resulted in her head painfully hitting the edge of the cabinet. Even though I really like Taichi as a character, his "selfless freak" personality has only managed to make things considerably worse. Fujishima and Gotou were particularly awesome here, and the advice given to Taichi by both was quite essential in allowing him to finally realize what he was doing wrong. Despite the lack of Inaba in this episode, she remains my faorite character by far, and certainly the one that seems to be the most emotionally and mentally damaged at the moment. Overall, Kokoro Connect contiues to excel with it's confident ability to naturally blend comedy with the more dramatic emotions present throughout these episodes, and it remains the best and most consistent show of the season. I'm very excited for the next episode, and particularly interested in Heartseed's visit to Inaba's house. |

| Someone told Taichi that he can's save everyone :) that as best part of this episode and I hope he'll start acting in a bit different way still this episode was actually good - but maybe it's because this arc is more interesting than body swap |
| May not be the all-around best episode but still great and deserves a 5/5. Everything collapsed. No one wants to talk to each other anymore, except Iori. Good thing there are Gossan and Class rep that made some valid advices. But man, Taichi again. He really will get all the glory again. Not that I'm irritated by that though. |
 |
| The teacher is a really nice person who cares about his students despite his somewhat weird personality when he thinks his students need him he is there. I think the personality swapping arc was better then this one there personal desires coming out just puts so much pressure on the group making the last few episodes really tense. Even Iori usually personality isn't enough to cheer up the group not to mention Yui and Inaba avoiding everything. Then again if the manage to overcome this there friendship will get better and there might even come some romance from this. |
| I like the teacher when he isn't Heartseed. So much drama in each episode. I never know what's going to happen next... |

Does it remind you of a certain someone? -All bonds has shattered, nobody wants to hurt each other -The teacher is funny as hell when not in Heartseed mode -Hopefully their relationships can reconnect. Looking forward to the next! |
| Love that they tied in that Aoki didn't do anything in the previous arc, that was actually pretty surprising since I thought that wasn't gonna get mentioned. Anyways, amazing episode as always. Fujishima made me LOL. |

| Nice self-realization episode for Taichi.. It was really interesting, and I'm happy that he's lost his confusion these past few episodes. Can't wait for next episode~! Heartseed and a lot more Inaba <3 |
| Great episode! |
 |
| It was tense seeing Taichi and Aoki fight, and when Taichi slammed Iori's head onto those lockers I cringed. Inaba's being extremely difficult and so is Yui. It's frustrating to watch. Ugh, I'm starting to dislike Taichi as a main character. He's turning into an Emiya Shirou. He's right about Aoki though, Aoki's done basically nothing and has gotten next to no character development. I'm glad we're seeing little of Yui right now because she's annoying as hell. |
| The teacher's actually a pretty cool guy, huh? He has his moments. Many valid points were made throughout this ep. I'm kinda glad Taichi's having conflicts now. He has been getting real full of himself lately. However, he's right in that it may be better than the other guy who doesn't do anything. They're all useless... Inaba's been annoying me as well lately with her hypocrisy and such, but I miss her. Glad to see she'll have her moments next ep. Also glad Heartseed will be apart of them. I've missed him, too. Iori's...well, Iori. Cute picture on the blackboard at the end. It's so like her. ^^= |

| Ah yeah! Aoki calling Taichi out on all his BS! |
| Shit, this episode broke my heart. Especially this scene in the spoiler ... my heart was skipped a beat Iori was hurt ... and yet she still acting like everything was fine. She's really the kind who keep the feeling inside. I'm worried. :( Apart from that, this episode is really good. I got spoiled by a bit after reading the episode's name, so I knew that they would broke so badly in this episode. And yeah, the scene where Taichi came into the room and there's no one in it reflects that so well. Another great episode this week. However, now I'm curious what will happen at the field trip. Also, Iori was being strong and went to see Yui again. I'm so worried about her. |

That will sum of the Ending song with her dealing with.... "love sickness" I mean, come on you guys, did you guys ever bother understanding the lyrics of the song? >.> And Iori and Taichi can't "break" because they are not really going out xD Don't worry, the drama would lead to a conclusion by the end of this arc :P Those who don't know the 2nd ending song lyrics, here :P  |

| I thought they would let Nagase shine halfway the episode, but they showed her weakness to loneliness instead The animation quality seems to have improved to me |
| i felt sorry for aoki but i think something is gonna happen with him next week. i wonder also when taichi hit iori D: |
| please make my breakfast every morning for me sweet cheeks! *bowling position" |
| Well I still think that Taichi and Iori will stay together he really want to apologized to her but she wasn't in the clubroom but went to visit Yui. I can't wait for the next episode, they fall apart right now but doesn't it usually end up with a good ending. Next episode will be a little better, Aoki will try his best to save Yui. |

| Class Rep is da bomb... While I enjy the drama this series brings, I kind of miss the humorous situations of the first arc. Aoki is still pretty useless though. |

| This episode was pretty good to me! although I feel like I was craving some heartseed...Mr.Go ver was pretty cool though. Who actually has that relationship with their teacher where him asking about your personal life would be acceptable? lol Right before I watched this I was telling my friend how Taichi was husband material... then he hit Iori and all my feels for him went down the drain... :'( Other than that I hope that Yui can get over herself (not to sound mean otl) and come out of her room. Otherwise heartseed's probably going to like make someone attempt suicide or god knows what. I feel like Taichi telling Aoki he didn't do anything was basically the directors yelling "YOU HAVEN'T HAD ANY CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. SIT DOWN" |
itsvero said: Ugh, I'm starting to dislike Taichi as a main character. He's turning into an Emiya Shirou. Yup, that's exactly my thoughts last week. I hope the chat with the class rep makes him realize the flaw of his thinking. |

| The club technically broke down. Can't wait to see how will they solve this. |

| It was an good episode. Not my favourite though. 4/5 Man, these kids are having a tough time. :/ I should be thankful I don't have to deal with this "hidden desires" thing. Fujishima just earned my respect. :D She's pretty cool. |
| Ok, im starting to be Taichi hater now.He is really selfish + he don't even know what he wants.He is too naive and stupid.Oh, and when he hitted Iori i was about to turn off episode from ragemode.Idiot. Inaba is annoying as ever.She don't even need to talk, i will always hate her.I don't think she can do anything that will make me like her even a bit. Go-sensei is a really good teacher.I feel bad for him because of heartseed. 5/5 Iori fighto! i hope she will get some happiness or love soon. |

| We really saw how far apart this group has gotten. It's a shame to see everyone so down, so broken it seems...So much drama, which is to be expected when you can't exactly control how much your emotions will affect you. This whole episode was really focused on Taichi, not really being able to help anyone because no one wants it. When Taichi and Aoki got into their argument it was pretty obvious they were going down a bad road and without Inaba to force them apart, Iori getting hurt seems inevitable. This whole episode every time we saw Iori she seems to be the most content. Every time she showed up she was smiling or trying to keep everyone together. Whether that’s because she is still insecure as to who she is or she is trying to be what the group needs her to be. The fact that Taichi hurt Iori even "unintentionally"(because it wasn't) is really his low point. Though, luckily, he has plenty of people to give him advice and this helps him figure out what he needs to do. Inaba has been trying very hard to stay away from the group this entire time, and I'm thinking she's going to be skipping the field trip because of Class pres forcing her. She wasn't very happy with her flaunting her authority so my guess is Heart seed shows up because of this. Hopefully Iori helps Yui or is at least able to talk to her. It's a shame she's been locked up so long, her and Aoki haven't had as much screen time as our other three protagonists. There's still nine episodes though, so that’s just a minor fear now. Class prez has surprisingly picked up the ball and is actually pretty interesting now. I'm liking her a lot and she seems to be a bit more cunning than I had originally anticipated. I'm looking forward to seeing how she develops and affects the rest of the group. Next week looks like Mr.Go/Heart seed is going to be showing up to Inaba and making something happen. Taichi seems to be getting a bit better and he'll be intent on helping Yui. Iori has been surprisingly okay for this arc, and I don't see her breaking down anytime soon. Anyway another good episode, not the best, but it got it's point across. Looking forward to next week. |
| I sometimes watch lots of anime. I sometimes write reviews of said anime at my website. http://www.crawken.com/ |
| Things should get pretty interesting next week with Taichi, Iori, and Inaba together in a group for that field trip. I'm really interested in seeing how this story arc pans out. Hopefully no one needs to have another near death experience for everyone to finally understand each other! I don't think I can take another emotional tearjerker like that again! lol. |

| Not much to say about this episode. Just building up for the next episode where things are hopefully resolved. I'm glad Taichi is seeming more like a dick because I despise those types who are selfless to such a degree as that. |
 |
| I love this series and how it's displaying the flaws each character has instead of making them perfect cliches with a MC that is too perfect. I agree with the teacher, I think Heartseed actually has the intention to make this group become closer and possibly it's because of some tragic event that he knows about that's gonna happen in the future and he wants to prevent it or he's just doing it for entertainment like he says. |

Yeah I really think so too. I was all like, hmm.. wonder if Heartseed is actually making them go through these like situations to actually become closer? I'm not too sure about the tragic event thing but it really does seem like he's going to make them true friends. Overall I really liked this week's episode. Nice tension and drama building up, and I'm not going to hate Taichi over something like that. It was an unleashed desire after all. |
