Kokoro Connect: Michi Random is just another arc for the series, not anything that truly stands on its own. Again there was a good foundation, with the new open thoughts phenomena, but they instead focused on things that seemed less important and tried to create closure in a way that it made no sense.

These final four episodes actually made the series much more disappointing. Gotou have such a casual relationship, or pretty much anything about Aoki or Taichi outside of their love interest, they instead just focused on Nagase being a mental case. Where they could have spent time answering some questions, such as why Inaba and Mr. The character's only real growth was that they became more erratic and somewhat annoying. Both songs used for the final four episodes were superb and worthy of any 'Best of Anime' playlist. Just like the animation nothing changed when it came to the voices in the series.Īs for the music, just like with the original thirteen episodes, the ending theme changed now that there was a new phenomena occurring. There was really no discernible difference between the this and the main episodes because they were all created at the same time and only released separately due to a change in the channel it aired on. In a genre (anime) that's filled with unfinished or rushed endings, as well as giant open ended shows, this one takes the cake for just giving up on even attempting to have a proper finish. To add insult to injury everything was wrapped up with us never actually finding out a rhyme or reason why this happened, and why to these five. For the original series, and the final five minutes, Nagase is a very sweet girl, but we're supposed to believe she became distant and angry because the nice girl image was all an act? Maybe i missed something in these final four episodes, but it went off the rails so many times i often found myself not really caring or paying attention. It seems they added much of this in for a bit of drama, but it was unneeded and seemed to fly in the face of the previous thirteen episodes. This causes her to become distant from her friends and to tell Tachi they can no longer date each other. This is done, according to Heartseed, so that they'd each be able to learn who their friends truly are, unfiltered of their attempts to sanitize their thoughts and actions in order to put on a different face for their friends.įor the most part this had the biggest affect on Nagase, who was afraid her friends would find out who she really was and would then dislike her. This time around the five characters will be able to randomly hear the thoughts of each other.

The OVA focuses on one last prank by Heartseed.

Oh whats that? You'd rather just do more of the same? So you got canceled on one TV station and given a second life on another, here's your chance to answer some questions and tie off loose ends.
