From what i noticed, people starts to dislike or even hate Iori. I love her from the start of the series and even after this arc, i simply love her more. I'm not keen of those drama or bitch stuffs people has been saying about her, if you think in her shoes, you will surely understand it. Maybe her way of thinking is wrong, but there are times when you simply can't shake your thoughts off and keep thinking all those negative stuffs. Try to think and see things from her perspective, i believe this is the whole purpose of this arc.

Anyone has any idea what Inaba said to Iori? I'd really love to know what she said.

I wonder what it is that really is going on in Iori's mind. She's definitely having a hard time finding out who she really is and how she can relate to others.

Inaban is soo cute.

Not even the novel had ever revealed what she "thought" to Iori.

Agreed on the less Iori hate part. Though I must say I'm a little surprised how much hatestorm was generated on Iori (I was expecting people would hate Inaban more based on Iori's criticism.)

That was a great start to a new arc! I really can't wait to watch all of it. I especially liked the ending with Yui and Aoki's thoughts being transmitted to each other.
5/5.

Ah shit this love triangle just turned into a huge mess :/. Though I ain't liking how Iori is acting right now, I guess I can understand why she's acting like this. Hope she gets better soon and is able to rediscover herself.

Inaba's jealousy is just so cute to watch, and she was soooo adorable when Taichi was praising her. She just keeps on getting better and better.

How I missed this show. Great that it start out as good as when it left off. Iori sure act bitchy but I'm sure everything happens for a reason so I won't be hating so soon.

Transmitted thought sure can be troublesome, knowing what the others think isn't always a good thing after all. I'll be damned if people know what I am thinking.

I really loved this series, but I guess with the lapse in these episodes it's easier to see how forced some of this is. Iori just complains constantly about not showing her true self and blah blah blah...it's really tiresome having her as the constant center of attention each time.

Really seems like Iori gets the most attention in the entire story, not that I mind it but it sucks that someone like Aoki gets little to nothing in return but got the chance to shine in this episode.

Also, jsut everything about Inaba is priceless.

Idk the sudden change in Iori character it seems like they really want the viewers to just hate her all of a sudden to make it ok for Inaban to be with that dude

hmm Aoki the most uninteresting character according to Heartseed. Maybe he's only interested in characters that have shady pasts, and problems, and what not. Aoki is the most "normal" out of the bunch. His only actual problem is the part about the Nana girl. Otherwise he's just living the life like he wants to lol. Maybe he will become more interesting to him later on dun dun duuuunnnnn

Also, Aoki at the end affirming his feelings for Yui was nice too!

Ah, so it's like all club members are intermittent, selective Satorare (a drama where the MC projects ALL his thoughts to everyone unknowingly). Cool to see! Still prefer Inaba over Iori so far.

Wow, got chills a lot this episode. Looks like they aren't holding anything back! Surprised Iori rejected Taichi but I guess she has a lot to think about. I'm still thinking her mom talked to her about moving or changing schools ...
Wow, didn't expect Goto to be so good at the saxophone O_O They're going to have to work hard to keep him as their advisor ...
Intense stuff with the mindreading. It seems as though it always kicks in at the wrong time. I wonder what passed between Iori and Inaba and then later on, her and Aoki? Plus it looks like she gave chocolates to someone else as well ... hmm :O
Aoki is the most "boring"? Well, maybe just the most "normal" ... and he's acting it. It was really nice at the end when he was just like "well I'm going to keep doing it for everyone" and then Yui turned around :') I wonder if she heard his thoughts?
Looks like things get more intense next episode ... ah, this show is better than I remembered? Lol XD Mind reading is so interesting :P
Oh, I also really liked the ED. Nice song and kind of sad about Iori :( Don't give up! T_T

Aaaaaaaand Iori continues to be the most interesting character!

It may sound odd, but I feel like she's the only one making sense. The other four are so unclear on which direction they want to be headed...

I wonder why Iori rejected Taichi, I would have definitely expected her to say yes. Heartseed was really mean to Aoki T___T I don't think he's uninteresting. Yui is so adorable with her thoughts about what Aoki is doing.

I feel like the new phenomenon is really well done, the whole thoughts transmission thing feels really seamless. I like the new ED, too.

They sure start off with something rather sad, a new arc that is rather troubling like, I wonder how this will finish off and what problems it will cause! Currently Iori is the most hurt in all of this or at least she's hurting her self. Either way not a bad start but not as good as the original series start! Lets see what's next!

Nice ed on this one!

Haha, what a start! Loving the atmosphere.

Fuzenkasura is a boss, as usual. This new phenomenon, oh man.

Really liked Inaba and Taichi this episode of course. I'm really intrigued on how Iori will get through this too. She's probably lost her chance with Taichi for good, IMO.

Looking forward to the rest.. ^^

Holy shit that was good. 5/5

Best part for me, was the Inaba Taichi part where she was like "Tell me more!" Cute babies.

Poor Iori. D: I think I can relate. I hide my true feelings so much in front of others too... I think I would lose all my friends if this true feelings phenomenon happened ):

a really strong episode

It was on the level of the best episodes from the original run if not better. I guess we're seeing "Wolf's Rain case", meaning the finishing 4 episodes are the best ones and are actually what makes their parent series worthwhile.

There were some really funny moments, mostly caused by Aoki. He was also the best character together with Iori this episode. And actually, for a first time I think that he's not the useless one - he seems to be the most useful one this time around, no matter what Heartseed says(he probably mocked Aoki because the blond guy was actually made the right given the situation and Heartseed's plans may go down because of him). I think Aoki is gonna end up as my favorite character after all. He started gaining point in the later episodes of the original run anyway.

I don't think there is any point in stating the obvious, but I'll say it because it's one of the things I love the most about Kokoro Connect - this anime focuses on some really important aspects of the human nature, but it does so in a way in a really good way - I doubt it's possible for any anime to deal with them better. You fail NGE - you fails so much in trying to be psychological compared to KC; all you really accomplished was to depress people.

That scene where all their thoughts were flying around the room just broke my heart.

Oh no where did my sweet sunshine Iori gooo? It's okay, she's working things out right now. Inaba turns out be a cutesy little girl inside... ugh. She's even willing to be the rebound, that's seriously not good. This time Taichi will be going through some ish as the triangle eventually become a... line segment?
Fight on Aoki-san! He's honestly the secret weapon when he comes out of nowhere and says something that shakes everyone's original thought processes.

When Heartseed was asking Aoki what is he going to do the answer should be:

Holy cows!! Great episode, picked up right where I wanted it to, and DAMN a lot happened in it.

This is a tough challenge for them, if my thoughts were broadcasted to people, ugh...I don't even want to know.

And that part where Inaba had to have him pause, and said, "tell me more" ^^

Adorable!!!!!

Damn, sensei is making me hard with these skills... No but seriously, who knew he could have a talent :P

It was so funny when Inaba was walking and she just heard Yui giving chocolate to Aoki and him being so happy :)

Iori seem to be broken, again. It was kinda sad when she said that nobody the real her and then everyone seemed disgusted or something like this :(
Though, that's exactly your chance Inaba, charge in!

Iori, get lesbian please! Glasses girl is still waiting for you! :O

Iori is literally the worst character in this entire series. Taichi has talked to her about this fucking problem at least 3 or 4 times now, she continues to do stupid angsty shit to deliberately bring the rest of the group down and then gives up.

Loved the little scene where Aoki's and Yui's thoughts were transmitted to each other. That was really heartwarming and shows that they really care for each other. :)

Iori's straight up annoying and dropped to dead last in my character ranking.

Iori continues to the best character this series has to offer.

This is what real world is like, people put up with each other but have gripes. Gripes exists not because people frankly prefer to be alone, but because when humans interact they cannot help but hurt each other.

Love and hate are two sides of the same coin. Without one, the other doesn't exist. The fact that Iori have gripes about the others precisely because she cares about the others. She's just being real.

She's too good for a Shirou-wannabe like Taichi. Taichi and Himeko deserves each other. Only Maiko can measure up to Iori and they should get together.
