I never really write reviews so go easy on me if you don't think it's "professionally" written. As of the first day of 2013, the last four episodes of Kokoro Connect were leaked, and I thought I had to wait until March 2013 like the news said. Anyways,

Story:

You have 5 friends in the Cultural Research Club. Sounds like your typical high school friends or slice of life anime right? Well it is, kind of. A man by the name of balloon vine decides to show himself to the group. He puts them through various "phenomena" mentally. At first I had no idea what was going ... on, nor thought it was interesting enough. I only found it funny at first. As the story goes on, more interesting things happen and it really sucks you in. Between the relationships inside the group and the challenges set by Balloon Vine, the story really picks up and becomes amazing.

Art:

One thing I loved about the show was the art. The way they were drawn reminds me of K-on in a way but a bit more detailed. I liked it a lot.

Sound:

The background music during the scenes and the 2nd ending are the ones that stood out to me. The background music really set the mood during the good and bad times. The 2nd end theme doesn't quite match the show but it's one of my favorite ending themes of all the anime I've seen.

Character:

You have the wrestling fanatic who tries to put everything on himself, the guy who's expresses his love to the same girl but gets rejected, the girl who rejects the guy and she loves everything cute, the bossy yet smart girl who is computer savvy, and the girl whom everybody loves. Really does sound like your typical high school life anime, but each character has their own time to shine and each one of them are so individualistically great and have their own flaws as well.

Enjoyment:

I enjoyed almost every bit of it. The good, the funny, the sad and the bad parts are all enjoyable. You can't tell how love I've been waiting for the last episodes to come out, that's just how much I enjoyed it. A very heart warming, comedic, and great anime.

Overall:

I highly recommend this show to anyone who loves to watch the slice of life genre. It's pretty high up there in my opinion with an original kind of plot and it also has it's own concept as far as dealing with it's story. So many twists and moments you will love.
