Review of Kokoro Connect

Out of all slice of life genre anime out there Kokoro Connect has to be one of the best I've ever seen. Having a blend of supernatural elements in a normal everyday life was done uniquely and interesting, and that's why I rated this show so high. The story is about five friends just living your typical high school life until the antagonist Heartseed appears to intervene in their life of stability. Their friendships are put to the test as their thoughts, actions, and even their bodies are no longer in their control as Heartseed manipulates them for entertainment. This story instantly pulled me in becauseI've never seen anything like it before and the story unfolded nicely episode after episode.

All of the visuals looked good and although the soundtracks played throughout the show weren't all that worthy of remembering, i enjoyed the opening theme song as well as the art.

The characters were done well in the show as they were portrayed as being real-life people. The characters in the showed genuine emotion and all of them developed in just 13 episodes by the end of Kokoro Connect, and again in just 13 episodes i felt attached to the characters at the end.

All in all I judge a show by the originality of the story, the characters of the show, and the impact it leaves on me after I've finished it, and Kokoro Connect didn't not disappoint in any category and is a must watch especially if you enjoy the Slice of life genre.
