Review of Kokoro Connect

This show could have been better, not saying it was trash or anything, but it could have gone differently. The first couple episodes introduce a promising story about five kids who over the course of one night are experiencing out of (their) body situations. All five of the students are swapping minds without knowing when or really how, and it is interfering with them trying to keep a normal life. Now that sounds pretty good, and it was for the most part, but the story advances to them having a different problem later on. The characters in the show were okay, although there weren't anyhuge conflicts between the characters that would linger on throughout a span of a few episodes. Since they are good friends they would forgive each other of their problems instantly, but since this show tried to to be a drama as well as a romance, it would have been better for a conflict to linger. This is what I meant by things could have gone differently, the show was good, but it's little details like this that could have made it a little different.

For people that have seen the show, wouldn't it have been better if they were to have just capitalized on the mind swapping idea for a little longer? I mean, the other problems were entertaining, but the original idea was pretty great! The mind problem never really created problems at the characters houses, which that would have been pretty nice to see. Sure we saw a few scenes were they tried to be each other at one another's house, but it was never really an issue. I just wish the issues would have torn the friends lives apart a little more, that would have been entertaining.
