Review of Kokoro Connect

This is just too much drama even for a drama. I expected a light slice of life/comedy with potential plot but got one large dragged out ball of drama and anxiety. This whole anime is one big run on lecture. It seems like this was just a place to dump a lot of preaching to young adults about how to live life and be happy. Everybody is a hypocrite and likes to lecture each other about things they just realized while simultaneously not practicing what they preach. Every episode is sporadic and the plot is all over the place. The plot is left completely unexplained. Balloonvine is a cringy name. You don't know why anything is happening and never will. This is one of those instances where an anime just chalks things up to "phenomenon" and never explains anything. The ending was not very satisfying and overall this wasn't worth watching.

All things being said, I do like the art and ost. I convinced myself that the anime would have a proper explanation for the plot to keep watching but was let down in the end. If the art wasn't colorful and the music was worse I would not have been able to grind the 17 episodes which is too long and dragged out in my opinion.
