Review of Kokoro Connect
Also including the 'OVA's' here. Another anime to succesfuy make me cry! Twice! And the first time was at ep 5!!! You think this will be your casual school life, romance anime with some supernatural bit and some life lessons. Well, you're wrong. In the very beginning it hits you with feels and drama and by the middle you're so deep into the darkness and feels that you start suffocating. It has it's light moments, of course. Comedy is pretty good there and I laughed quite a lot. What it does the best is character development. Personally, I could relate to three of the characters - Nagase, Inabaand Taichi and some of their problems are known to me. This anime does a great letting characters overcome their problems not in just one arc but in the whole anime and not letting their problems be easily solved - it takes tears and pain and help from others to finally overcome them.
Two things I weren't very happy with:
1) only 17 episodes. I hear that it was planned to make 24 but something happened and it never got finished. Because of that we never truly saw SPOIERS Aoki x Yui sail or understood anything about Heartseeds or why was the phenomenom even there in the first place.
2)Nagase Iori. Yes, I could soemtimes relate to her and I understood her but by the end of the anime she got a little, well, annoying. Might be because of my impatence and the fact that I'm easily annoyed but... Every arc was basically about Nagase's problems and in the background, someone else's. What I decided in the end was that Nagase was probably *the* main MC in this whole anime because her character developed the most, she had the deepest problems + in the ending song (well at least one), she's the only one who is shown.
SORRY FOR IT BEING LONG AGAIN GEEZ I SHOULD STOP
