The characters are all very expressive when they need to be. As far as I could tell, there were no off-models or problems with animation. The settings are fairly detailed and we have some beautiful backgrounds and lush scenery. The characters instantly reminded me of K-On!, though upon checking, I was surprised to find that these two series don't actually have the same character designer.
I really liked the art for this series - everything is crisp and smoothly animated. Ultimately, Kokoro Connect succeeds in blending its comedic school life shenanigans with more serious emotional moments, a testament to the quality of the writing and the great direction. I felt the drama wasn't overdone at all and every arc introduced interesting new aspects of the story and allowed many sides of the characters to be shown. manages to make it fresh and funny, whilst also being surprisingly realistic with how it portrays the effects of each of the phenomena. Although some of the ideas may have been done many times before, Kokoro Connect Here we have a series that takes a supernatural storyline, adds some well-written high-school romance and plenty of compelling drama, and pulls it all together into one amazing package. What would you do if you and your friends started randomly switching between each other's bodies? Or if your deepest darkest desires were suddenly brought to the surface, out of your control? I feel like they developed as far as they could and while it wasn’t completely boring, I just didn’t find the characters that compelling after a certain point.Is it just me, or do I only review shows beginning with the letter K?Īnyway, just so you know, I'm also including the Michi Random specials in this review.
The characters are definitely the best part of this but personally, I feel like I lost interest in them after around the 5th or 6th volume.
While I do think it relies waaaaay too much on the whole “Power of Friendship” trope, I feel like it’s explored in enough depth (at least for me) that it doesn’t feel like a crutch used to deus ex machina out of every situation (although sometimes it does get to be a bit much). I did not anticipate that it would take me this long to finish reading it and I’ll admit, I lost interest around halfway though but it’s still a pretty good read. Seriously, it’s really nice to see an author take his time to end the story properly and not just go through the ending like he needs to finish it before his train arrives or something. It tied up mostly everything and left a few more things open ended. You know, in the few years I’ve been reading manga and light novels, I’ve never read an ending that’s this satisfying.
