Review of Kokoro Connect

Friends... What can we do without them. I thought at first that Kokoro Connect was going to just be pure romance, but I was totally wrong. This anime truly brought about the emotion that the characters are feeling in to play. I would say that those who want something realistic probably don't wanna try to watch this, because it's filled with phenomenon, which I believe could be possible in a way. In any case, Kokoro Connect is a great anime, with amazing drama scene for viewers to enjoy. So if you like drama, romance, and some comedy, only some, then I really recommend this toyou.

Story: 10
I've been seriously trying to find an anime that's like this for such a long time. The emotion that was in this anime was just enough to match many others that could be considered the best. The plot was arranged perfectly. Not too fast and not too slow. It might not be as sad as Clannad, but it may match it in terms of friendship wise, or relationship. For me, I personally like it because it explained so much about friendship, and how that bond could overcome many obstacle, as long as it doesn't break. I'm not sure if it's just me or not but I don't really like how they start off the anime. I'll give it about average, but since episode 1, everything after that was just amazing. Kokoro Connect exceeded my expectation, since they put "new" ideas that they came up with to build such a great anime. That's just my opinion, since this anime is probably one of those anime where you either like it or you don't.

Art: 9
The art style looks very adorable, cut, smooth, and very eye catching. I'm not so good on the art and animation stuff, but I think that the color, texture, and the motion of the movement characters make are very well made. That just might be where I watch the video though. Since the art looks like K-On, I though it was just going to be a nice, happy, and romantic anime with good comedy, but now I realize that this art style really fit into making the tears of the characters looks more "realistic". What that means is, not a Huge amount of tears flying around, comedy wise, or just a touch of tears, making you feel only a little heart breaking. Not all that, but instead, it brought out the true emotion of how the characters, or should I say, how the people should really feel, the serious emotion that all anime should have in order to make viewers sob over it.

Sound: 10
The voice acting and background noise is really, really realistic. In some anime, they tends to bring emotion, or how serious the situation is in the scene by adding either serious, sad, or funny background noise. Sometime they over did it and it sounds too serious than it was suppose to. I'm sure this happens to some of you. One minute ago you just watch and watch and sometime doesn't even realize the background noise, but a second later you just realize it since the sound doesn't match how serious the scene should have been. Kokoro Connect is what I believe to have an outstanding quality in sounds. The timing and all were very well arranged to where it's suppose to be, and the background noise isn't what really set the mood, but the voice actor who really put their feelings into every word that they spoke. This anime had a great voice actors and a great sound track which is why I gave it a 10.

Character: 9
I probably said this already, but the characters is the subject which is the building block to make an anime good, and the voice of each individual characters brought lots of emotion to the listeners, which makes the anime more realistic in terms of life situation, if this was actually going to happen. This is another anime which I believe to not have that bad of an annoying characters, but I do admit that some characters could really get out people's nerves. But that is what they want you to feel, which is great in another way. The role characters have really fit with the situation that they're in. When characters cry, they could be annoying for other anime, but Kokoro Connect made sure that you Will feel sad when you actually pay attention to the scene and what's going on. This certainly doesn't apply to everyone, but only those who truly believe in friendship, and how hard life can be if no one support you.

Enjoyment: 10
This anime certainly made my week, and a great start for new year, even though it's been a couple weeks past new year, and this anime came out in 2012. I've been watching many, many sad anime over a year or two, but this anime really bought me closer to tears than any other (doesn't apply to Clannad, 5 centimeters per second, or some others which I forgot). So I believe That to be the reason why i gave this a 10 for enjoyment.

Overall: 10
Maybe I grade this a little too high, but in my opinion, it truly is a great anime which I would totally hope for more. If you read this review and gotten to this far, thank you for reading. I don't really care if you agree or not with me, but no one can change who you really are, so you can say this is either helpful or not, but I hope it did help even if it's just a little bit.
