You might as well forget there’s magical elements involved because those episodes deal with the romance part of the series rather than comedy or drama. Even though the phenomenons are interesting they are not the main focus of comedic entertainment. The second and fourth arcs (episodes 6-9 and 14-17) are the weakest. The first and third arcs have the most character exploration, heaviest themes and humorous dialogue. They transition smoothly into each other although they vary in terms of mood and writing quality. Each light novel represents a four episode “arc” of the anime and a different ‘phenomenon’ that the heroes try to live with. Adapted for the screen by Fumihiko Shimo (Kanon, CLANNAD) it has 13 episodes, then a further 14-17 to wrap up the story. Kokoro Connect is a 2012 production by studio SilverLink and is based on the light novel by Sadanatsu Anda, which is still ongoing. Who hasn’t wanted to know what life was like in someone else’s shoes? Kokoro Connect (literally: “Hearts Connect) takes five close friends and introduces a more erratic form of body swapping: it happens at random and no one knows when it will stop.

There have been a number of movies over the last decade that have included the body-swapping plot element. Kokoro Connect (2012) Review: Freaky Friday Just Got a Lot Longer
