| That was a bold episode. Inaba has transformed. I wonder if something might happen to Aoki soon. |
 |
| Quick question: How does Iori deduct that Inaba is in love with Taichi (the part where she runs away with the cut finger)? I'm not sure what happened there (is her kissing the bleeding area supposed to symbolize something?) |
| Inaban episode!!! it's almost all focused on her~!! -inaban with a knife. -inaban fighting with iori -inaban crying her eyes out -inaban kissing taichi. |

Until she just meant as in a friend like everyone else... Haha, I thought of that too. xD Anyway, great episode. Inaba is my favourite character in Kokoro Connect. She is so awesomesauce. That scene with Inaba and Iori was great, the voice acting was superb! They really did a great job! I'm glad Inaba started to open up more in this episode. Also, I regret clicking on the spoiler on Inaba's character page. That pissed me off so much. Shouldn't have done it. Don't do it gaiz. Light novel spoilers yo' But I digress. I thought murder was gonna go down for a second when Inaba had the knife. Damn it Taichi, y u get all de bitches?! Nah, he's cool. Himeko~chan. :) EDIT - Does anyone know where I can read the Light Novel? Baka-Tsuki had the first chapter of volume one translated last I saw but that was it. I can only assume there is another translation somewhere or everyone is reading it in Japanese. First VL is up already in BT, the 2nd is getting a work out. Maybe by the end of the year, you'll have the first four translate. You can also read it in chinese, I'll send you the link in message if you want to. Nah, it's cool. I can't read Chinese. I can only read a little bit of Japanese kana. That is the closest to any other language other than English that I can read. I'm scared to start learning Kanji right now xD Thanks though. I guess I'll read the first volume and wait till the rest are done. |

| That episode had great development for Inaba and also a satisfying conclusion to the Kizu Random arc. I'm hoping that there'll be something fresh in the next arc so it doesn't get overly repetitive. Anyway I reckon by the end, we'll have characters that have changed considerably compared to the beginning. |

| That was a realy cute episode! way to go Inaban~ |
 |
| Inaba! The only problem I had was the setup. If someone is bleeding from their fingers and it is a small cut, I don't see how it's that strange to lick it. I know that Iori took it as if she's kissing Taichi in some way, but it woundn't be the first thing that would jump to my mind at least... However, the running away made it very obvious. |

That and the way she acted around taichi (which was way different, because she couldn't even pretend not being in love with him any more, thanks to heartseeds visit the day before) made Iori deduct (correctly) that Inaba was in love with him. |

| Dropped every single series this season for this one. It's way too ******* good. Inaba's love for Taichi was discernible from the very beginning, it was a bold faced obvious fact. But the way it's unraveling, ugh, can't even describe it. I'm in the same boat as a lot of the viewers, I know taichi is supposed to be the every other dude but I'm excessively jealous. Iori getting sidelined seems to be too likely now. Poor girl. |
| The chip in my mind, it summons me. I gave my life to your machines. |
| From episode 10 another thing to be noted. Inaba has a HSDPA (3.5G) Phone :P And I love her wallpaper xD |

| Really amazing episode. But the part where Inaban was crying dragged on for a bit longer than it should have imo. |
 |
| I really loved this series, it was nice to get an insight into Inaba's character. It was downright adorable, and I think I might be inclined to ship TaichiXInaba now. I've really liked this series since it came out, it's just really intriguing and the character interactions are great! This episode was everything I wanted it to be from last week's preview, and god, so many feels. |
 |
| Inaba + Heartseed make this anime so epic |
 |
| for some reason, i was more inclined to the inabaxtaichi couple since the beginning of the anime. I was hoping something would develop, and as i hoped, something did. excited to see what's gonna happen next. btw, cute episode! let the (fair) war commence! |

| I knew from the beginning that Inaba is the best character for me, when I watched the first episode my favorite was immediately her! I want to read the novels! |
| More than loved it!! Inaban is getting the part I always wanted her to have she is pure fire |
| The scene between Iori and Inaba was really fantastic. :3 |

Inaba acting all flustered all the time would have been obvious for anyone to see. I understand that all her behaviour was suspicious and that kissing her finger was what confirmed Iori's suspicions But I'm still not convinced that there is a large enough difference between kissing your finger and licking a small wound to warrant Iori suddenly JUMP to the conclusion that Inaba loves Taichi.. Maybe if it was something more unnatural, let's say like licking a handkerchief given my Taichi. However, just like |

| Welp. That's that, Iori. Good luck outcuteing her now. |
| Inaban was so cute at the end of this episode!! Although I'm still rooting for Iori and Taichi!! Fighting~~ |

Maybe if it was something more unnatural, let's say like licking a handkerchief given my Taichi. However, just like i knew some people will think in same way . but you forgot they had the switching body arc , also leaching desires arc . she also had her desire unleached and almost had sex with taichi . even a blind guy would know she is in love with him . that even more true for your best friend who you switched body with , and knew hes deepest desire ...not to mention nagasse personality . the jealousy inaba felt at begin of episode , and the cooking scenes was more than enough for nagasee" who is she a professional observer since that her personality " to notice inaba's love . i was surprised for the amount of people who didn't notice inaba love since episode 3 ... i thought everyone did notice , but ah well . |
| Awesome episode, looking forward to what arc comes next. |
 |
| Shipping Taichi X Inaban like crazy now! Oh and Trollseed trolling as awesomely as ever. |
| I love this episode! So lovely, so cute , so DEREEEEEEEEEE!!! ♥O♥ Can't wait for Kako random!! >_< |

| I like Iori better as a character but how can you not root for Inaban x Taichi?!?!? /torn |

Kenju said: Also was I the only one that thought there was gonna be IoriXInaba when she said she loved her!? Until she just meant as in a friend like everyone else... No you're not the only one. This was a wonderful episode, my eyes even got a little watery through out this episode, and by the end I was smiling. I also gained some more respect for Iori this episode. Inaba was cute as hell and I'm really rooting for Taichi x Inaba. 5/5 Once against Kokoro connect doesn't disappoint. |
 |
| 5/5 episode. Definitely better than SAO this week. Inaba was so adorable in the last part. :D <3 Sad we didn't get much of a preview of episode 11 :/ |
| That was a really intense conversation between Inaba and Iori. I really liked it. They accepted each other as rivals in love a little too easily though, but whatever. Inaba thought Taichi fell of the cliff, but he actually fell out of a tree trying to help a cat. Typical, haha. xD I'm loving the new bold Ibana who's finally accepted her feelings! Crying in front of everybody because she was so worried and eventually confessing and even kissing him; that's how it's done! She's definitely my favorite girl. She was so cute embarrassed! I wonder what the remaining episodes are going to be about. |

Onyxthegreat said: More than that I think, she was reacting to the release of all the emotions and tension she had been keeping bottled up for months. Her fear about him being badly hurt was just the trigger. She opened up her heart, and it all came pouring out.Crying in front of everybody because she was so worried... |
|
| Wasn't as good an ending as the last arc. Also, DAMN HAPPY ENDINGS. And DAMN ROMANCE. And DAMN EMOTIONS. Now for Heartseed to come and make things exciting again. |
 |
| Perfect perfect perfect perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loveeeeeeddddddd this episode. The best ever! Too many feelings I'm happy, wanna see episode 11 |
♥Chizuchan♥ |
| So most important bit, Inaba finally admitted to Iori(and herself...and Taichi) that she loves Taichi. Luckily Iori understand why her friend is into such a cool guy and says that Inaba is welcome to try and steal her man, but that she won't sit back. That they'll fight for him, but they'll still be friends. Finally Inaba can accept that she has friends, and just because things happen between friends that not everyone likes, doesn't mean they still can't be friends. She's been so set on being alone, or unable to keep the friends she finally got, that she keeps ignoring that her friends do care for her and want to be friends with her just as much as she wants to be friends with them. With her confession of love at the end, that means that we'll (hopefully?) not be seeing anymore lonely sad Inaban. She has grown(and hopefully stays that way. not that I don't have faith they'll keep it, I’ve just been burned before by other shows.) Of course though they hit there humor quota as always. Iori having an episode and wanting to be carried, Inaba competing with Iori about cooking. Then Heart seed being a douche and Taking over Iori again, although this time only to share a message of exaggeration to Inaba. When she breaks down crying I felt so bad for her, she was so relieved. I was super surprised that she actually kissed Taichi and I hope she really does win. Shes so cute. I mean...Iori is okay, but Inaban is the boss. I'm happy they worked it out. I don't necessarily believe that Iori is THAT okay with this whole competing thing, but whatever WE all know we want Inaba to win. Truth be told Taichi is just as good for both of them, but I don't care. So it looks like the Yui and Aoki ship has officially set sail. They're cute together so happy they finally are setting things up. Hopefully though that doesn't mean they have less screen time. It also appears that Taichis friend was getting along well enough with class prez but, what we all really want is her to pick up Iori when Inaban eventually wins. I'm looking forward to the next arc and I don't know what it could be. I wouldn't have guessed Unleashing desires for this arc and have no clues as to what next arc holds. I'm excited and happy this show is pretty well done. It has some flaws but compared to some other shows playing at this time, they are nothing to complain about and can be ignored. |
| I sometimes watch lots of anime. I sometimes write reviews of said anime at my website. http://www.crawken.com/ |
| this was a fantastic episode. it was so very satisfying to see Inaba be sincerely happy. only complaint i have was the ending being kinda... awkward? or unrealistic, idk. |
