| body switching never gets old^^ |
 |
| The premise was interesting enough and it's rather enjoyable to watch; hoping for some more comedic moments in future episodes, overall a nice start. |
 |
| Kinda interesting I think I'll watch it |
 |
| Interesting concept and an enjoyable first episode. Though this coming from the director of BakaTest, I expected more comedy. |
| I hope they aren't going to swap bodies just for 30minutes each day/episode.. |

I think too much comedy is what killed BakaTest for me....don't get me wrong i loved the series as a whole....But sometimes the comedy was too over the top and got really annoying......I like plot with my comedy. Not stuff that isn't canon. As for this....This series looks promising. Will keep my eye on it. |
| Holy sh*t the music in this amazing, especially the bgms. This series is really promising so far. Even the fanservice didn't seem out of place lol. 5/5 |
| This could be really golden! I hope it will be chaotic and fun! :3 I love the char design too, so K-on! |
 |
| Body Transfer FTW..... Nice premise... And dat K-ON! character design.... Awesome... 4/5 |
 |
| I really like the prologue, I've never seen a show where they simultaneously introduce that many character. And, I'm loving the K-ON style cd's! I like the concept, but I don't really see where they are gonna take this. Will it be episodic, plot-less gags, or will they develop it into a running story? Either way it was pretty funny, and I like the personalities of all the characters. I think it could turn out to be a good show, so I think I'll follow this one. The music is pretty stellar! The OP and bgm was nice through out, and dat ED!! Amazing!! 4.5/5 first episode. Urahara Out!! |
 |
| Looks like K-on! > instantly drop. |
 |
| With all the action series this season I was looking for a gentler paced SoL comedy. I think I found it! EDIT: A lot of people are comparing this to K-ON but I never saw it so I'm seeing this with a blank slate. I think I'll enjoy it more so because of that. I may get round to checking out K-ON eventually but long series are daunting to break in to. |

PrometheusZero said: The visual similarities of the characters between the two shows are striking and immediate obvious, even with K-on having an all female cast. However, I think the similarities end there.EDIT: A lot of people are comparing this to K-ON but I never saw it so I'm seeing this with a blank slate. I think I'll enjoy it more so because of that. |

| Pretty interesting, somehow an unusual story plot.. I just wonder what or who causes this phenomenon.. looking forward to another interesting high school life.. |
| its alright. don't really know the main theme. animation is ok~ |
| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| Dunno about others, but I sure like this plot motif. Regular body switching between different sexes? Awesome. It's bound to have alot of humor to it :) |
| Will be watching this till the end looks so good. |
| zZzZz... |
| I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It looks quite promising! :) |
Now blogging at TheZenOf Mysterious Girlfriend X Anime Fan Club - It's about more than drool! Tari Tari Fan Club - Hyouka Fan Club - Chitanda Eru Fans Club~ |
| Ughh seems kind of boring, but I'll stick with it for a couple more eps to see how it goes. |
 |
| It's a pretty strange premise, but switching bodies could make for some very funny scenes. The characters are likable as well. It's going to be hard to act like each other when others are around. Looking forward to more! xD |
 |
| I'm surprised at how this could get philosophical at times. |
| Halfway through the episode - DAMN the animation in this is better than Hyouka/most anime movies! Also - Lovin' the humor. |
| "Evidently... There's no such thing as 'meaning' in this world. But that in itself is wonderful... isn't it? Since if there isn't a set meaning, then you can just find one on your own." - Filicia Heideman, So Ra No Wo To |
| Wow I loved this anime so much. I like the potential and the girls already, the guys are cool too. |
| I must say watching this in 1080 makes a diference. It looks like it probably is going to have some laughs so its on my list to watch this season. We'll see if the megane makes a second attempt in the next episode. Since she's in the OP, she'll probably be a recurring supporting character. The unshaven dude looks like the science teacher (perhaps the guy from Sket Dance has a second job?). |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
Stark700 said:  Just saw the first real episode of the extended preview. Dat body switch. Dat drama. Dat questions Well, tbh I liked this episode overall and the ED is performed well. Body switch is serious business, people. ^ |
| Not the greatest show around, but I like the character designs and Himeko |
| Definitely far from the best this season. The characters are fun though. To see my full review of this episode go here: http://animeordie.blogspot.com/2012/07/first-impressions-kokoro-connect.html |
  |
| The premise seems interesting will continue watch to see how to turns out. |
 |
| Kind of silly at times to start out with, but I honestly think that this could develop into a really deep show. Will have to wait and see if the character and romantic developments come along well. 8/10 for the time being. desolato said: But damn, was anyone else bothered by that girl's mole? Not that I have a thing against it, but it doesn't move and stuff. Just looks badly animated. Heehee. A badly animated mole. I tired wiping my screen a few times before I finally realized what it actually was. |
| Harems don't exist in America. If one guy is constantly surrounded by beautiful girls, then he's probably the gay friend. |
| Rather low key first episode, but I'll keep watching in hopes that it gets more exciting :) |
 |
| This will def be something i watch the whole season of. It seems like a good combo of K-on and Haruhi. The name of taichi's most recent adult movie made me lol xD |
  |
| Good first episode and lol at many scenes XD I am looking forward to the next one! |
| To start off with, I liked Taichis introduction of everyone in the club. “Take me for example…” The simplicity of the body switching as well is a nice switch from regular shows. One second they are in there bodies, blink of an eye, they’re in someone else s. The personalities from what we’ve seen are all different enough, and could be compelling to see them in the other bodies. It looks like the body switching right now is temporary, and random, but they could always make it a “permanent” effect.Both types have their own perks, Temporary leads to awkward shifts and confusion, while permanent has them having to do the “live a day in somebody else’s shoes” stories we always see. I’d like to see the temporary stay, but if they do permanent, with some work put in I could see the show pulling it off. The animation looks solid enough and the swapping of a general girl expression onto a male figure did make me laugh. I liked the Ed song, and during the credits, they showed the five students in various places with their soul balls chilling in front of them and swapping about, but who knows how important any of that is… It’s only the first episode and as far as next weeks preview goes it looks like this will be sticking with the temporary exchanges, which I think holds the most promise, story-wise. The characters mold together well, and it’ll be nice to see all the shenanigans they get into with all this crazy body switching going on randomly. I was pleased and surprised for this episode so lets hope this feeling continues on to the next ep. |
| I sometimes watch lots of anime. I sometimes write reviews of said anime at my website. http://www.crawken.com/ |
| I like the foreshadowing of everyone's lives and how it will eventually affect the people who switch into their bodies. From what I can tell, it's going to go through everyone's "home" habits and problems. For example, blonde girl's messed up room which probably points out to her obsession about superficial things and maybe some kind of self hatred, blonde dude's seemingly normal family but could well possibly contain a physically/verbally abusive father, and genki girl's possible dead father and her working mother (who might be seeing someone). This episode just feels like the set up that the audience wouldn't know/figure out right away but when looked at in a broader perspective everything would just "click". The theme seems to be giving support to friends that the character has been "in the shoes of", while receiving support back. Although it's been done before (quite frequently), if the series can actually elaborate on the intricacies of "switching bodies", this series can do pretty damn well. Really love the cutesy k-onish art style. It's my preferred slice of life paint. |
| The chip in my mind, it summons me. I gave my life to your machines. |
| Great first episode, this show is a lot of fun to watch! I want to see more body switching and the problems it causes. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
TheLocalHentai said: For example, blonde girl's messed up room which probably points out to her obsession about superficial things and maybe some kind of self hatred, Hmm. I thought Yui's room was messed up because when she and Taichi first switched bodies in the middle of the night he panicked, as he said, and screwed things up trying to figure out where he was. Otherwise, yes, I'm also thinking all their personal issues are going to be featured as this show progresses. |
|
| Seems like a decent start, although kind of fast. I would like to get to know their personality more so I can remember more easily when they switch bodies, but then their isn't much else to put in the first episode. We'll see how this goes. 4/5 By the way, does anyone know how many episodes this series is going to have? |
 |
| This looks like its going to be very interesting and fun to watch. I liked the humor in this first ep and oh yeah I can tell there are going to be some great moments with this whole body exchange situation. As well as some moments dealing with personal issues like Iori's mom. The characters in this anime all look great and I like them. |

StormSky92 said: I admit, I only started watching this because K-ON! character design. But I think this show could stand out and have the character break away from that in my mind. I think this could get boring if it's dragged on for a long time, so i'm hoping this will be a one season series. I wonder if the reason why all this is happening is going to be explained by the end? I know this series is going to be really character-focused, which might make it boring for me, unless them trying to figure out why it's happening plays a bigger role in the plot than I think it will. Oh well, i'll keep watching it. I kinda agree with that. Know what happened to Suzumiya Haruhi 2009 we had all expected? XD Where's the other half vid anyways? |
