| Brilliant turn of events (especially with Heartseed). Also, it seems that the secrets/hidden thoughts of each individual are beginning to come out. That was a good question from Iori at the end, I can take her more seriously now. The short intense moment between Iori and Yui was good too. 2 episodes in and I'm getting a completely different vibe already, this should be good. Oh yeah, LoL at the volunteering scene, and the "declaration" at the end. |

| I see what you did there... Kokoro Connect isn't made by KyoAni, but this and K-ON do share the same character designer xD nice easter egg though |

| Heartseed is weird, looking forward to finding out its true motives. Some nice character development, I feel sorry for Nagase :') |
| Another great episode, packed with full of information already explaining a part of what's happening, and some interesting and funny development, lets see what's next! |
 |
| So far, I am loving this anime. Though I constantly get confused with all the names. |
 |
| I'm watching this show at the moment and I'm getting picky. Actually I thought this was a realistic show, I'm a bit disappointed but I'll keep watching. |
| This is shaping up very nicely and they're going in the direction I was hoping - they find out more about each other when they switch. As others have said, I need to get their names down so I know who's who. I have a feeling this will be one of my favorites |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Oh wow, that was a dick move from Inaba xD But Taichi somehow deserved it, for ruining her day :P Nagase was deep right there at the train station... Well, it's an often discussed question in philosophy, she could read some books if she's interrested in it. Aoki totally look like a huge pervert x) I can understand why Yui is unconfortable in that situation :P I hope it get clearer at one point on that ''observator''. It's really mysterious for now, it was hardly making sense. |

| heartseed so creepy. dont really know what direction this show is gonna take. |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Son of a bitch. This is gonna be a lot more confusing and hard to follow than I thought. Oh well, hope the romance is good in this. |
 |
darkreaver94 said: Hopefully it develops into something interesting and logical. The reason from Heartseed wasn't so convincing. I Otherwise I liked the way this episode went much more than the last. Things are picking up, and I'm excited for the next ep. |
| So the person with Goto's body is the responsible to the bodies change. |
 |
| Heartseed is really creepy. That declaration at the end was funny. |
 |
| Episode 02: "Ballon Vine" the one that begin this switch soul thing says "I just don't have any real motivation, determination, resolution, enthusiasm or anything along those lines." so he is practically bored and that is his reason to do that to them. Balloon Vine is practically a godlike being, with a somewhat bored life and personality, he want to see something that change his mind and interest him. When they go to ask Gossan, he thinks that he "fall asleep or something?" so this Balloon Vine being must be something that have no human form (cause of the power) or have some power to erase the memory. Yui was champion of karate , good to knew, and well she can't beat a godlike being.Is interesting how now the "kokoro are connecting" I mean that the group get to know that Iori live only with her mother and works at night , so they can empathize each other. Yui seems to have some problem or trauma in the past with maybe a man? Iori is really philosophical in her scene with Taichi and is pretty interesting too, how a body switch can affect a group of friends. Like in the end when Inaba in Taichi body confront Fujishima "Iori's my woman!" "But what if our bodies, through personality switching, for example, were no longer solely our own? Would we still be ourselves? Iori (in Aoki body - Kokoro Connect) 5/5 |

| Hmm...still not sure if I'm into this show or not. The body switching is already feeling repetitious and we're only 2 episodes in. I hope we don't have 11 more episodes of awkward bathroom incidents and stuff like that. This show has a great premise. It just doesn't feel like it's delivering the goods yet. 3/5 |
 |
on 
| another good episode! So we find out that some kind of spirit is controlling this thing that's happening to them. Also a bit of character improvement from last time, i might start to love these guys :D 5/5 again! |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Now this development reminded me of Kiznaiver, it's very interesting to see more of the mysterious Observer. That last bit tho, so many possibilities when you change bodies with people. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Don't understand why they would introduce the antagonist straight off the bat, was hoping that they would themselves unravel the mystery alongside the view. Also the ost during Nagase's rant was really unnerving which threw away the entire atmosphere :/ |
  ~ |
| Fantastic followup to the first episode, after a fun start where we meet Goto, their teacher and responsible of the club, he comes back later on as a mysterious entity called Fusen Kazura/Heartseed, looks like he's the one behind the body switches and sees what happens to our main cast when they happen. For now the switches have been mostly very funny and more when they experience a change in sex (Iori already learned to pee standing lmao), but a small conflict already happened between her and Yui, so it's pretty unclear if the situation will stay that way. |
 |
| Not that confusing as I initially thought. Nice storytelling and great direction. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Not sure how I feel about this whole Heartseed thing but I'm still pretty intrigued by the story and characters so I'm liking it. Taichi accidentally volunteering Inaba for the cleanup duty was pretty funny lol |
 |
| This is getting interesting. It seems from now on they would start experiencing their fears, worries, past or home situation, trying to fix things when being body-swap. It seems like they would get very close and I really can't wait to see that. Yui seems to have some experience with an assult for example, that's why she started practising judo probably. Someone will try to tell Iori's mother than even when she's genki, she's not really okay to be home alone and so on. There is Taichi's sister who loves him, Himeko's older brother (they don't have very good relations thanks to her attitude) and Aoki's loving family would be probably big contrast to what Iori is living in now. Well, the main antagonist couldn't be more bland and forced but then again if it serves great character interaction I don't mind at all. This seems very promising suddenly. |
| Things picked up a bit, there was a lot more going on in this episode. |

| >meaningful, contemplative, existential dialogue >"hahaha just kidding" >"just kidding" >"jUsT kIdDinG" fuck off with that shit mate. I dunno if this is some anime bullshit or a weird Japanese cultural quirk, but as a weeaboo it irks me. Good episode nonetheless. Iori gives me a heart boner. |

| Well what is this. The whole body-switching thing is so damn weird. And they all act weird. Shouldn't they all be more scared of such an unnatural thing happening to them? Eh. Yui has some sort of trauma with men I bet, her reactions are pretty clear. |
| wow shit got real freaky this episode. So your telling me, this other wordy or spiritual being is fucking with a bunch of highschoolers for shits and gigs? bruh what a dick move lmao. I mean i guess if you had that much power something like that course amuse you. Not surprised some of them at starting to snap/freak out a bit more. A entire week of random body switches at a random time/duration. God i would have fucking SNAPPED in the first 3 days, having people peak at my private life is a pain in the ass, and to be honest if i was a girl and had a guy switch into my body at a random time, i sure as hell would not be happy about that. Trust me the fucking horny is an uncontrollable force for humans to bear. oof that ending, Inaba was the last person i'd suspect to start fucking about in other peoples bodies xd |
 "yabe." |
| This show feels so unfocused, especially that I'm still too unfamiliar with the different names and characters. |
| I really like the animation and the concept is interesting imo |
| ah..? im guessing yui had trouble with a guy in the past and thats why she reacted to iori-aoki that way and was so angry that iori was too used to her unsafe situation heartseed mf is creepy as shit, i feel bad that the chill laid back goto is the body it's borrowing lmao |
| I might've developed a thing for dark haired girls with beauty spots. |
slice of life anime, my precious. >3 2D>>>>>> |
| The body-swap premise is really interesting. I really want to see how the characters develop. However, with that being said, I am fairly disappointed with this show thus far. The show is going for the obvious "comedic" bits of the team confusing the bathrooms, as well as berating the guys for possibly doing weird things while in the girls' bodies (when the girls could just as easily do weird things when in the guys bodies???? A bit of a double standard if you ask me). Inaba is still my least favorite character, Iori is still my favorite. Aside from the main cast, I think that the inclusion of a mysterious, antagonistic entity behind all of this is rather disappointing. I feel that the mystery of the body swap was far more interesting without the inclusion of some entity that exposition-dumped the audience as to why their switching bodies. Did there need to be a reason that they're all switching bodies? In my opinion, no, no it did not. Not a great second episode either. I'm going to continue this for the sake of curiosity behind how the body-swaps will affect the characters, but I'm rather unenthused about the show as of right now. |
 |
| i cant keep up with who switched with whom. not getting the jokes due to that either. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| Very good episode |
 |
| it will take some time to get used to all those body switches, but it was a better episode than the pilot one. Surprising twist at the end, some expected awkward situations are lampshaded when someone of the main cast has to go to the bathroom but in the opposite one by force, and Yui already seems someone with a dark backstory and to be sorry for. It's a shame she couldn't successfully attack the possessed teacher, but showing off (well, teasing for just some short seconds) her karate moves made me like her even more. |
