Kokoro connect - Sadanatsu Anda
years : 2012 - sep 2012
season : 1
episodes : 17
The story involves five high school students, Taichi, Iori, Himeko, Yoshifumi and Yui, who are all members of the Cultural Research Club. One day, they begin experiencing a phenomenon in which they randomly swap bodies amongst themselves. As these five friends face many different phenomena at the whims of a mysterious being known as Heartseed, their friendship is put to the ultimate test.
I would like to begin this review by expressing, how awesome this Anime was. It was filled with so much that I can't begin where to point at what I loved about it. So here I will write a brief on how much this show has entertained me alot from start to end. The creator Anda himself is a genius for making a show based on feelings and such, it was another alternate version of body transfer (no not the hentai!) I meant in general, using three types of methods to bring out the heart is what made this show all the more bearable for me to indulge in.
Taichi - The main guy in the show, his personality is the caring and hero type of characters. He cares to the point where he wants to be their Savior as one of his friends call him "selfless freak" damn right he is. He isn't aware of alot but when his body switches happen and when he is sought out to be a target by the "heart seed" we learn alot about him and his persona in general. He is conflicted with feelings of love and is derived into thinking he should always stick with one but the heart seed had other things on his mind for this. I really loved him I think I generally felt a bit more happier when he chose the right person.
Iori - is probably the most annoying person, she really reminds me of minorin from toradora both also have similar views and voices. However it's clearly shown throughout the show she is the most traumatic girl in the group. Her feelings and intentions have messed up so much she doesn't know who she is anymore. The saddest part about her was loosing the one thing keeping her alive which was trying to find out "Who" she actually was. We later realise through so many ordeals that she finally slowly understood.
Inaba - is harsh and very solid, shes the toughest in the group due to unexpected situations. Her calm demeanour makes her seems very cool in others eyes. She is seen to be very cautious and even admits she cannot trust anyone. She has always been alone and has worrying tendencies and really speaks her mind at the most worst moments. She expresses not well enough with love and friendship but with anger which is seen all the time. She is in love with Taichi but she cannot explain why she wants Iori and Tachi together, it seems like if she went ahead she would be rejecting people and mostly loosing her friends for her habits and so forth. In the end I think she was the strongest of them and has probably been the pillar they wanted next to Taichi of course the ending of the Anime tells alot of what happens and I liked her outcome.
Yui - the second traumatic girl in the group after being assaulted she rejects all men, however with the body swapping it was shown how Taichi helped her out of her shell and made herself a bit more lenient towards the men in the group. She was a bit over the top emotionally and refused to come out alot and nearly made the group end but she learnt that she wasnt always alone. People was there with her and will overcome it, it seems like she does like Yoshifumi but couldn't express because of her androphobia and in the end it seems well to know that something came about her problems.
Yoshifumi - the most laid back characters and so damn in love with Yui, we find out in the show he loved a girl called Nana when she moved away. Reminding him of Yui but he realised even before then that he only loved Yui and still does regardless of her phobia and so forth. He really wants to become the pillar of support for Yui and always leers at her and confronts her about it even after being rejected by her, he is hilarious. We can tell when heartseed turns Yoshifumi into a kid who mistakes Yui for Nana that Yui didnt like it and it irked her, she promising him that she will make sure he knows who he was, does kind of indicate a little something between the two.
Overall : It was on of those shows where I have to really think sometimes, to me Kokoro connect wasn't just about joining hearts together. It was going deeper, as in finding out what made us love, what makes us angry at the other person what love it. What friendship is and how hard it is to maintain together with alot going in. It was about expressing the desires and what was in her hearts deep down and switching bodies and minds and feelings made them all realise a little more about themselves. Bringing them closer and actually understanding the feel of pain and so forth, jealousy, love and even humour. There was a particular bit that always makes me laugh which was Taichi revealing to Inaba that "he masturbates to her" which made me snort so loud! which meant he fapped with the other members to! Inaba in the end whisper's to him "I masturbate to you" seeing Taichi's face was so hilarious I was giggling away she was such a tease I really loved it! The music in the show was dramatic, sweet and fun! There was this weird Indian style drum playing whenever the characters was up to something and it made it even more funny to watch it went well. So if I was anyone I would totally check this show out it was so worth it, it made me think about myself alot and see if I actually had a personality disorder or something or just in case mental. IT was enjoyable and something I wont forget so get checking!
