None of these five have all that much in common, but they’re brought together into a single club by virtue of all being slight weirdoes who weren’t happy anywhere else. The show stars five high school freshmen: Taichi, Iori, Aoki, Yui, and Inaba. Kokoro Connect is clearly a show about coming to understand other people, a theme almost implicit in its body-switching premise. The real issue here is based in the uneasy relationship between the show’s clear goals and its fundamental nature. As far as fundamental composition goes, this premiere is a very solid affair. The character designs are distinctive and expressive, and nothing really drags. That doesn’t really come down to the production, or even the storytelling – the show has nice painted backgrounds that give everything something of a faded, nostalgic look, and the story moves quickly and gracefully into a compelling premise (suddenly we’re swapping bodies for no apparent reason!). Kokoro Connect starts off with a somewhat uneven first episode.
