Review of Kokoro Connect
Overall/Enjoyment - [10] This anime for me was a mixture of Kimi no na wa and Toradora. The anime is just ... spectacular and overall I would recommend this for anyone to watch and experience of 5 friends who due to supernatural circumstances are forced to learn about each other and inevitably fall in love. (BTW I had binge watched the whole anime up to episode 17. The best 7+ hours of my life.) -Enjoyment [10] - This anime for me was one of the best and I enjoyed watching it all as I imagined the characters together as each new situation brings on new emotions. This trulywas a masterpiece and I can clearly see why it was one of the top recommendations of Kimi no na wa.
- Story [10] - The story was unique but really reminded me of Toradora and the long triangle between three of the characters, how even the ending is the same which I adore even more as Toradora is my favourite Slice of Life, Romance, School anime. But again with differences like the main antagonist being a supernatural forces creates some new emotions and situations these friends must solve.
- Art [9] - There was nothing to special about the animation style but the appearance of the characters and their emotions in each seen is presented in a smooth way which allows the story to move forward.
- Sound [10] - There are not many anime's in which I listen to all the outro's and intro's but this was that I not only enjoyed but danced to every time it played. The soundtrack for the anime for me personally was what really stood out as each scene or emotion or conflict was perfectly mixed with the music allowing for a magical experience.
- Character [10] - These characters were created so technically that for me there was no fault or need for improvement. The reason I watched the show was not for the plot or the antagonist but was for the characters and their relationships which each other, their love and hate and each situations brought them further apart then even closer. It kept me on the edge of my chair up the end hoping that these two characters would fall in love or they would fight or finally sort out their issues. These character developments are the structure, foundation and main component for this anime and what really attracted me to the anime from episode 1 all the way to 17.
