Kokoro Connect Season 1

Right now you can watch Kokoro Connect Season 1 on streaming — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests.

Watch it for Takahiro Mizushima — stay for everyone else around them. Available now — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Kokoro Connect Season 1 earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Kokoro Connect Season 1 from the crowd. Taichi, Himeko, Yoshifumi, Yui and Iori find themselves inside the body of the girl (or boy) next door! Besides bringing a new meaning to the term “Exchange Student,” it’s not hard to do the math. Take a geek, a cool girl, a class clown, a popular chick and one sultry maid of mystery, scramble thoroughly and divide, and you can bet that soon they’ll be answering questions they never wanted to know about the opposite sex! Takahiro Mizushima and Aki Toyosaki lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2012. What keeps Kokoro Connect Season 1 from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Kokoro Connect Season 1. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Takahiro Mizushima is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
