Right now you can watch Kokoro Connect on streaming — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The 1-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. 92 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Takahiro Mizushima — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Kokoro Connect earns its spot. The jokes in Kokoro Connect land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Five members of the school culture club—Taichi Yaegashi, Iori Nagase, Himeko Inaba, Yui Kiriyama, and Yoshifumi Aoki—encounter a bizarre phenomenon one day when Aoki and Yui switch personalities without warning. The same begins to happen to the other club members, throwing their daily lives into chaos. At first the five students find some amusement among the confusion, but this connection also exposes the painful scars hidden within their hearts... The chemistry Takahiro Mizushima and Aki Toyosaki bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It first aired in 2012. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Kokoro Connect holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Kokoro Connect. My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU is the obvious comparison, but Kokoro Connect earns its own place alongside it.
