However it's the characters that really steal the show in Kokoro Connect. There's many more phenomenons that happen but I won't spoil the laughs and drama for you. It's here that the show started to get interesting and I couldn't help but laugh at there predicement. Of course nobody believes them until Taichi and Iori ended up swapping bodys. It's too bad the synopsis only speaks of the body swapping phenomenon that starts when Aoki and Kiriyama claim to have swapped bodys for a breif second that night. However, I quickly came to reilize how dead wrong I was when I got absolutely hooked onto the show after a friend reccomended it too me and I gotta say, it was easily the best show summer 2012 anime season.
#Kokoro connect michi random episode 1 series#
I thought there was no way an thridteen episode series could be carried on the cliche of switching bodies. As from what it tells you it's that it's a whole series that revolves around five high school students: Taichi Yaegashi (our main lead), Iori Nagase, Himeko Inaba, Yoshifumi Aoki, and Yui Kiriyama who all form a club called the "Student Concial Society" (or StuCS for short) which is a paper for the school. When I first heard of Kokoro Connect I wasn't really all that interested to be honest. Nothing Kokoro connect does is even slightly original and every one of it's re-used elements can be found used to much better effect in other, much better, animes.įirst Review! Let me know what you think! I've seen a lot of people saying that Inaba was the deepest character, but to me her character was the most flat and stereotypical of them all, voice acting included (and that's saying a lot). What I said earlier might sound like an exageration but it isn't, the show literaly goes through each character and tells you about their "big secret" and their related single personality trait.
But what really drags this thing down (even further) is the characters. The animation is bland, the music ranges from forgettable to irritating and the voice acting is standard drama fare. The gimmick of body swapping, or whatever, is pretty stale, but this show does try to be a little more realistic about it in regards to the character's reactions. "Boom: here's the characters, with a little intro script for each." "Boom: here's the weird, contrived gimmick to add suspense." "Boom: here's each caracter's personality trait (yes they each get just one) and each of their "big secrects"." And finally, "Boom, here's your inter-personal relationship drama, complete with love polygons and the like." The one good thing I can say about Kokoro Connect is that it's direct.
