Early Kokoro Connect's drama was far more subtle and less overblown, and it was coincidentally more light-hearted. And are you criticizing my tastes? I might as well criticize you for rating SAO a 10. First off bringing other ratings in shows your immaturity (I could also say the same to you giving K ON and DxD 10s) i simply said K-ON as a reference for its genre, not because its bad or anything; yet you bring other ratings in, well whatever its likely the best you can do anyway. Also your statement that the drama is corny is simply your opinion, it doesn't even have basis, its just your distaste for the developments thus why i said the show wasn't for you; or am i wrong and you actually enjoy it? making you previous statement contradictory. Ya...i didn't think so, i never criticized your taste, i criticized your common sense; if someone doesn't like something they don't watch it, you should have learned way before now that the drama wasn't your thing; and also you say Kokoro Connects drama is corny, you honestly going to tell me that Tari Tari's drama was better? seeing as you gave it a 10? You want to bring in ratings fine, but at least i will stick to the same concept and not give random ratings, this rating applies to my point unlike yours. |

All I was doing was stating in my opinion: Kokoro Connect would have worked better if it didn't take itself so seriously. Then you come along and tell me to go back to K-ON!, implying that I like shallow moe shows (whether K-ON! is shallow is for another time). So basically you come off as: BTW I don't care about ratings, it was just a joke about how you tell me to go back to K-ON! yet like a show that I perceive as just as shallow. |
makoa69 said: Wtf InfiniteDestiny you gave SAO a ten?! Man that show is baaaaaaaalllllsss. Who wants to play a shitty MMO with no magic, no range, and you need permission from the game to wield two swords. Fricken today's episode Asuna wouldn't shut up! Just talking on and on and on about Kirito right next to him. The old dude was like 'fuuuuuuck lemme go fish already!' SAO would have been acceptable if it took place in the Runescape universe, because that was honestly the only MMO I played. |
| And thus ends another anime I've waited eagerly for every week, hopefully the BD eps come with new VA's for Yui and Aoki (i don't think i need to explain why) |
| Never settle with words what you can accomplish with a flame thrower. |
lightXTC said: This anime can be summed up in a couple of words: manufactured drama. I honestly don't understand why this is so popular. Pretty much my opinion. SawashInaba was pretty much the reason why I watched this. I mean the anime had it's moments.. but... |
 |
| The fact that the pretensed episode 14 is pretty shitty since we won't be seeing it for several weeks at least I would assume. My opinion was this show was the sleeper hit of this season. Bad call to delay the final arc this way. Bad call. |

Early Kokoro Connect's drama was far more subtle and less overblown, and it was coincidentally more light-hearted. And are you criticizing my tastes? I might as well criticize you for rating SAO a 10. I have to agree with you here. I like the balance between drama and comedy in the earlier episodes. In this arc, the first few episodes were comedy heavy, while the last 2 were drama heavy and I don't think this works as well. I liked Iori's part of the drama in this episode, but I wasn't much of a fan of Yui's. Her's passes off more as a self-confidence issue and was slightly overblown. Iori had a actual family issue and was much easier to relate to and sympathize with. Overall still a great show. I think that however since this suddenly became the last episode, it wasn't that nicely wrapped up as it should have been. I'm not sure whether this is due to the massively overblown prank or simply because they couldn't secure time for the last 4 episodes. I loved the character interactions in this show and the writers really went into great depths with the characters. The tight cast makes these interactions essential and I think they nailed it. The comedy was also pretty spot on. I will honestly miss this show and eagerly await the last arc in the near future. _____ On a side note, I also have to agree with you on SAO not being a 10. It is entertaining and there is Asuna. But the pacing is all over the place and the story in general is very disjointed. It's kind of a hit and miss for me, with it hitting slightly more than it missing.

Kokoro Connect is my choice for top anime of summer 2012. I heard that the last arc might be Blu-ray only (totally not confirmed, just a rumour). |

| ... FOURTH ARC! This one ended alot faster , but we pretty much solved all of Iori's problems... right ? Well there still is Taichi . ANYWAYS beautifully done , i am seriously amazed at how much character development that the author managed to come up with . To add on to the different problems they are facing , through these problems it affected them , their past and the relationship between each other . Once again a pat on the back to the creators of Kokoro Connect , definitely one of the best animes this season in my opinion. |

| Really liked this series, was completely not what I was expecting in a totally good way. I was originally interested for the hilarity that would result from body switching and I got so much more than that. Now I'll just move the series to on-hold until the last episodes air... eventually... wherever =\ |

| No Iori, you don't. Now leave him and Inaba alone. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
wheresthehandle said: No Iori, you don't. Now leave him and Inaba alone. But... I like Iori D: |

| This episode ended the Kako Random arc and I did find this to be the weakest arc of all the ones shown so far. It was a bit short and rather the drama felt more forced and all the stuff about Iori just really suddenly surfaced again this episode. Also this episode felt really sloppy with all the serious stuff and I kinda missed the lighter moments several episodes back. Guess they still have a chance to improve this with the next arc but if it's going to be all about whether Iori loves Taichi or not... Anyway it seems that there'll be a long wait for the final arc so I guess provisionally set this as on-hold. |

| This felt like te end of the seriesto me , i'm guessing it will be awhile for 14-17 to come out...if they do ...this forum is so busy :D |
 |
| I hope we don't have to wait. :( If the next arc is the last one, it may be about Iori and Taichi. I kind of hope it's about Inaba and Taichi though since I prefer Inaba's character a lot more and they haven't revealed her past yet. >.< |

AnimeFtw1 said: lol yea and I think now its Taichi's time to let us know about his past.Taichi > All. Isn't he the only one who hasn't had a whole story of his past brought up? |
 |
| Can't wait for the next 4 episodes O_O |
| They will probably be included in BD, well the sales dropped so it's understandable why they do so. And it might takes a while to be aired. Guess we will have to wait And MAL should fix this, tvs 13episode ova 4episode |

Guess we will have to wait And MAL should fix this, tvs 13episode ova 4episode I'm not sure if it can be considered an ova, cuz as of now the series itself clearly hasn't ended yet much like Saki A, and the remaining episodes are a direct continuation of the series. What's MAL's definition of ova anyway? Just wondering. Cuz my knowledge of that can be wrong. Anyway, I think we should hold on for now as SL is suppose to announce more details regarding the release in a few days. |
| the third arc is finally finished! it was brilliant! I didn't know yui could jump like that!that was amazing! waiting to see the last arc! looking forward to see taichi,iori,inaba struggle!  |
| What's this Iori is having some second thought about Taichi, oh come on this is not good !! |
 |
| Wait how long do we have to wait for the next episode 0.0 I really want to see that one. Iori struggling with her feelings for Taichi, aah can't wait. Now the road is clear for InabanxTaichi right =D |

What happened to Iori ?! Next arc when ??? I just hope I don't have to wait too much >.< Well, it's not finished yet but'll make an exception and give a vote. 9/10 |
 |
| good episode ! oh my god i can't wait for the next arc :D really curious about what iori says "do I truly love Yaegashi Taichi?" |
| Got to admit, that last 2 minutes or so seriously felt like the ending. For a moment i got stunned as i always thought that it was 17 episodes long xD (it is). |
 |
| Oh shit another cliffhanger.. Any information for eps 14..? Hope it won't be long.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| show was subpar throughout, tier 5 drama, but it did have some pretty kawaii moments |
 |
| So everyone is ok with Iori's mum letting a violent abusive venomous man back into their lives just because she had some vague feeling Iori was trying to gain something from it (which she did not even get right) at the risk of either of them being beaten, abused or even worse? For me at that point when she said she let him back into their lifes for their Iori i instantly thought that was beyond messed up, she is a crappy parent, her trail of thought is pretty much non existent. If she was doing it for Iori then really how so? Iori pretty much stopped even being able to see her mum or even go home and was even told by her mum not to come home and both of their lives became worse. So I really failed to see how this mum's plan was even meant to work. |

| Great episode, it seems we'll get to the romance part now. But when the other 4 episodes air, will they be DVD/BD-only or something? |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| So it was a simple thing of people not talking gezz, who would of thought? this episode was boring |
| Well I was very confused at the end of the episode. The whole episode felt like an ending to the series, especially with the last few minutes. I guess that it's just the arc is over and there is another arc that won't be broadcasted? So will it still be releasing every week or at some events as some people said?... I'm sorry, I feel so hopeless and confused. -- Anyway, the episode was good, but not spectacular. I think it kind of put a lot into one episode, so not much happened with each individual event. The series itself (up to this point?) was really great, I liked each arc and brought concepts I've never even heard of before (except body-swapping). I am looking forward to the next episode and arc (gets personal, meaning no Heartseed, I assume), whenever that may be. If you know when it will continue, please message me or leave a comment. |

| You should be prepared to wait like 3 to 5 months before the next releases. |
 |
| Shouldnt this series be here on MAL as 13 episodes (finished airing) and then the remaining 4 eps added as "special"(not yet aired) or something? Lol. Anyway, excelent series. It really felt like an end. |

I don't think so, look at Bakemonogatari. |
| Good episode.... But not that epic..... All drama seems too faked..... 3.5/5 |
 |
| Nagase's mum is hilarious. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE LAST SENTENCE OF THE LAST EPISODE FOR A WHILE A CLIFFHANGER? |

kelpso said: Nagase's mum is hilarious. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE LAST SENTENCE OF THE LAST EPISODE FOR A WHILE A CLIFFHANGER? Because that's exactly how the arc ended in the novel! Feel our pain of waiting four full months for the next publish back then! Buahaha.... just kidding. I know... it sucks =.= Hopefully we'll be getting some news soon according to twitter news... hopefully. |
