| Not as awesome as last episode, yet still awesome. Maybe because it's the middle-of-the-story episode. Still, I feel like this episode rolls out a red carpet for more drama to come. LMAO, at Taichi's "desire to sleep" and Iori's desire that shouted out in the middle of the exam. I'm starting to worry about Inaba more. She was obviously a bit broken last time at the end of the last EP, and seems like she decided to lock herself out or something. This time, she stated in the episode that the best way is to 'entertain heartseed' so they can all get over this, but that then caused her to feel regret after shouted to Yui, and now she's going back to close herself again for sure ... (esp. after their argument w/ Taichi toward the end of the episode.) |
 Toshino Kyoko!!! |
| Fantastic episode as expected. I swear, the concept of going at each other with your true feelings is absolutely brilliant. It is a difficult thing to interact with others in way that is true to how you really feel, especially for someone like Inaba who is constantly hiding herself emotionally. Iori cracks under the pressure she receives from a classmate and Inaba was reluctant to help. Taichi takes out his frustration with Inaba with his self righteous character, very nicely set up! So much brutal emotions clash into each other in a very tense atmosphere creating the greatness of the impact known as Kokoro Connect! |
| BTW, Rina is so cute. I kinda want to have my sister coming onto my bed and wake me up like that ... #siscon But ... 私は妹を持っていない |
Toshino Kyoko!!! |
| Well that was fast. It's all ready translated XD great episode |
| The spring I met you, The spring without you. |
| So Inaban tries to look tough but she's weak inside after all. Her will really faltered in the end, to the point of running away after yelling at Yui for doing the exact same thing. More drama next episode, i'm loving this show. |

| The spring I met you, The spring without you. |
| This episode wasn't quite as dramatic as past episodes, but I have a feeling that it's just setting up something. Eh, I enjoyed it. lol at his "desire to sleep." |
| That was amazing. Super drama at its finest. |

I have to say that Inaba has it the hardest especially with what happened at Yui's house. And lol, Taichi is a sis-con now in Inaba's eyes? |
Uberchu said: This episode wasn't quite as dramatic as past episodes, but I have a feeling that it's just setting up something. Eh, I enjoyed it. lol at his "desire to sleep." You are right about that. This arc is still in its build up phase right now, next week should be where it really starts getting serious.

XD Yep Inaba is looking at him in a completely different light now! |
| Terrific episode! Inaba continues to be a fantastic character, and the complexity of her emotions was dealt with very convincingly. The final scene between her and Taichi was particularly effective in portraying Inaba's current emotional state, and Taichi's rather brutal words certainly seem to have severely damaged it. The interactions between the characters remains one of the most compelling aspects of the show. Yui and Aoki were excellent this episode, and the scene where he confesses of all the qualities he likes about her was great. The moments for Iori, though lighter in nature, provided for some great comedy to temporarily distract from the increasingly tense atmosphere. This show continues to thoroughly excel with it's story, emotional resonance, and character development. The dramatic elements at play here work really well, and have consistently managed to effortlessly blend with the occasional comedy. This is definitely the best show of the season, and I can't wait for the next episode. |

| ooooooooohhhh snap |
   |
| This club is slowly starting to fracture. From the looks of the next episode it looks like it might break completely. I can see Iori or Taichi being the only one who attends the club meetings for a time as the club begins to drift away then it slowly reforming again. Inner desires will affect Inaba the most imo. She is the most sheltered in terms of her emotions. However the other characters will definitely suffer too. Especially if the triangle that is Inaba Taichi and Iori comes to a head or if Yui will keep herself locked away. Looks like next weeks episode is going to get very serious as Taichi and Aoki's feelings are headed on a collision course. "And then there were zero" title makes me think this club is going to break, and only on episode 8. "I never thought you would give up on your friends" |

| Im starting to like Yui more and more.Not like Iori, but still, shes great. DAT YAHOO...I DIED:  5/5 Inaba annoys me as always, but im trying to ignore her as much as i can. |
 |
| The desires being unleashed aren't really good for the group there slowly falling apart not knowing what they might do next. And even tho some of the desires look pretty innocent there are those with bad consequences not just violence and sexual ones but also ones related to crime. And then there are also the things that you normally keep to yourself the things that could seriously hurt your relationships with people like something that annoys you about them or something there bad at expressing. For instance the moment Inaba got angry at Yui or when Taichi told his thoughts about Inaba to Inaba. In either way this can go two ways or there friendships start falling apart or they overcome this hardship and there friendships become stronger. Off course if there friendships become stronger so will there feelings towards each other. |
| Things are getting more intense by each episode. |
 |
| Indeed, if what Inaba says is true, then Taichi might just be the most dangerous person this time round, with his selfless desires. Also, Inaba needs to realize that what she is doing is exactly the same as what Yui is doing, in that Yui doesn't want to hurt anyone by not seeing them, while Inaba doesn't want to make any situation worse by not participating in it. |
| The drama is piling up more than it was with the body swapping. |
| As far as I can tell. only Inaba and Iori like Taichi. Yui sees him as a friend, nothing more. Anyway, this arc is a bit more dramatic than the previous one. |

| Looks like there will be more drama in this chapter. The ending scared me a bit. Hope nobody is trying suicide :y Oh and i liked the "YAHOO" a lot :D |
 |
| Oh fuck, I had a chill going up my back and the end scene thinking Inaba was gonna commit suicide by getting hit by the train. CHECKS PREVIEW! S A F E ! |
| cant say enough about how much i love the previews =) looks like inaba is going to be the main char of this arc judging by the ending the ending seems to reveal a lot about the arcs and the peoples problems |
| Yikes everyone is cracking under the pressure. Inaba is a train wreck right now. She snapped at Yui making things worse than they were. Then cause she's afraid of losing it again walks away from Iori's situation. Then, Teichi flips out on her, which most likely broke her heart. Because we all know deep down she loves him. Yui doesn't dare step foot out of the house cause she has PMS man hate rage going. Teichi is likely to do something really stupid soonl cause he'll think he's helping and make it worse instead. Iori isn't too screwed up yet. But I think she's due for something really soon. Aoki only cares about Yui. So he might be safe as long as she's locked in her room. Though he might flip out on Inaba and blame her for Yui being an instant hikikomori. |
| Iori's Yahoooo is sooo cute!!! Damn you heartseed. WHAT THE FUCK IS SO ENTERTAINING ABOUT THIS?!!! Heartseed must be slaughtered. I swear. Poor Yui :( Inaba was really hard on her.... Now everyone is in an awkward situation. Btw, Im really liking Fujishima now. She is always saving the day. |
| More drama for your mama! |
| The club is starting to breakdown. I wonder how can they overcome this ordeal? |

| I--Iori that was really cute... Taichi though shouldn't have to rely on Inaba to take care of it though, it's his girl. Still though,, it was awesome though when he went hard on Inaba....kinda reminds me of someone... |
 |
| this anime is getting me glued to the screen o.o another amazing episode i think next episode is gonna get crazier |
| please make my breakfast every morning for me sweet cheeks! *bowling position" |
| Inaba is starting to piss me off... Liked this episode anyway but not as good as last week. |
 |
| Ok so a quick thing about the opening.. i'm sorry if anyone else said it o.o In the opening it really is Taichi grabbing Iori's hand °-° Why? ok here I explain it xD Ok first see these 2 images We clearly see that Taichi has the brown sweater that we see in this next image Now , I don't really know if he grabbed Iori's hand but he DID look at her so.. ( also she's next to him xD <.< Now I wanted to point this out cause i'm a IorixTaichi shipper and when I said I was disappointed because -you know what happens- after the op and the anime itself , maybe the ending too.. hinted that they would go out togheter , you always said " yeah and how do you know Taichi grabbed Iori's hand.. " so today I happened to notice this thing. °-° |
 |
| I'm surprised how the desires kick in at the most inconvenient times. It builds some nice drama, though. I was also expecting a little..... more from Taichi's sister though. /ifyouknowwhatimean But still, an awesome episode. YAHOO~ |

| What Heartseed finds entertaining is the same as the reason why a lot of people are still watching this. In a way, this is one of the most contrived premises ever. It gives the author a way to represent himself through a character, with the only restriction being the theme presented by the show's title. With that, I expect Heartseed to intervene once again, though probably not for a few more episode, to let them play out the new rules a bit on their own. Contrary to what most people feel, I felt this episode wasn't dramatic enough, given the premise. With its potential, I expect it to go to the extremes of the spectrum. Also, Inaba's words are quite logical, and I don't have a reason to not like her. She may not be the usual anime character that value friendship over everything, but she's the perfect contrast for the unrealistically selfless Taichi. |
| Good ep although characters need to stop locking themselves in their rooms :p |

In other words, she's more interesting in seeing her character shatter into fragments than the others. And I believe a lot of us audience who mostly are -teenagers- can relate to her trusting problems and hurting others.  But Iori also has my love for her ongoing character :P |

| This episode was interesting but a bit slow. It wasn't bad but really not much happened, just some intermittent story along the path that was slightly needed but not the best the show has to offer. I really like how this desires thing is turning out. When Taichi has his desires unleashed during his argument with Inaba at the end, I thought that this kind of drama was done perfectly well. I'm really hoping Taichi and Inaba get together. I wasn't too sure about this match up but now I think they are perfect for each other. Hell, even Iori can get with the Class pres and hopefully Yui and Aoki get together soon. She obviously is a great match for Iori and Inaba needs Taichi more then she realizes. Also Taichi could take take Inabas more jaded sense of the world and her "selfishness" and learn to be a bit more careful with his own life. Looks like some more hard times are coming for the group but I think everyone will be okay. Also, Some minor news if you haven't heard this show will be 17 episodes long. Yay, but I’m not sure what that means for the airing of the final 4 episodes and hopefully they don't pull a bakemonogatari and take a year to come out. Anyway love the show and looking forward to TEN more episodes ^^ |

More drama next episode, i'm loving this show. I wouldn't say she's weak :) she's really strong, but if u were forced to completely take off ur mask, then yea its tough, she battled it out, and forced herself to not hide herself in her room for her friends' sake... I bet u can tell that I'm all for Inaban ^u^" |
 |
| I like Inaba more and more now. Somebody needed to tell that to Yui, and Inaba stepped up (although involuntarily). But damn, the drama is raising the roof. |
