      Why do we need, or even want terms for them in the first place? Why can't you just say "I prefer characters over story," if the debate every comes up? As soon as you create a name for something, you compartmentalize it, and it only serves to dehumanize the opinion. It's no longer what you feel; you're forced to automatically assign your view to a stereotype. That's the main reason why I fucking despise TVTropes and literally consider it one of the worst sites on the Internet.

      Well I hope you don't mind me referencing TVTropes on a regular basis, as I love that site to death myself.

      I one day would want to make a debate thread. We see two members, Giascle and VillainousHanacha, respectively hate and love a website with a passion. That would be an interesting debate.

      And that's even if I feel like doing such a thing instead of doing far more enjoyable things with my time, like watching Anime, playing Blazblue and Persona 4 Arena, and spending large chunks of time on Fakku and booru sites, doing activities of ill repute.

      After the brief heartpumping scene in the last episode, Kokoro Connect is back to being mundane. I suppose the real drama will start again by the next one. Find it amusing that most of the voice actors are using their own voice pitch instead of making it up like they always do, except maybe Aki Toyosaki who seem intent on using the Yui pitch on all characters except the tomboys.

      That new mindjack/mindfuck HeartSeed just gave them though? I hope it plays out better than being bait for fanservice.

      I find myself liking Inaba more for her supressed desires, lol. Always acting all cool and shit when she could well be the horniest of the bunch(that laced BLACK underwear kinda gave it away). So there's a high chance that she really was telling the truth when she told the dude that she masturbated to him. Sucks for her, both the guys in the group are already occupied. And yeah, the light novels suggest that Aoki will still get the girl he always wanted anyway. OH, the sexual tensions... lol.

      It was a very interesting episode as always. Judging by both the ED and who had the most extreme reaction to losing their inhabitions, Inaba will be the main focus of the "Kizu Random" arc.

      I am really looking foreward to the stories that will unfold around Yui and Inaba. We already had Inaba admitting that she spent some time shlicking to Taichi's image, so in retrospect I suppose it's not surprising that she tried to seduce Taichi, but it was still pretty shocking when it actually happened. I can see why Inaba would be the focus of this arc. Hito Random already showed that she has major trust issues and is very misanthropic, so for her to have a lot of things hidden is not surprising in the least. Besides her seeming like a person who likes to meddle in general, I can now see why she is so intent on playing matchmaker with Iori and Taichi far clearer after trying to put the moves on Taichi. She probably doesn't want to deal with her own feelings for Taichi so she gets the 2 together so she can use of the excuse of Taichi already having a girlfriend so as not to deal with her emotions. I do think that her wanting to genuinely help out Iori as a friend is still part of it, but one really has to wonder just how big or small a part that plays.

      I'm also wondering how Yui will be handled in this arc, as she herself seems to be hiding some rather violent tendencies, and possibly an outright hatred for men as opposed to just a fear of them. I hope that this time it's someone besides Taichi to help her out, preferably Aoki as I'm beginning to feel sorry for the guy. Not to mention it would really make the relationship more interesting. I also found it apropos that Iori somewhat liked the idea of having inhabitions be totally ruled out and acting on impulse. She was interested in knowing the real her, and now she might get the chance to find out.

      Also, even though I knew in advance that the body swapping would not last the whole show (thanks to reading spoilers int he TVTropes forums), I was a slight bit disappointed that the body swapping would be a temporary thing, as I thought that you could make a solid show with just this subject alone. However after watching this episode, my concerns are averted and I welcome whatever comes next with great anticipation.

      Eh... I always assumed Aneko to be the master of one-liners around here. That or the pithiness of her remarks.

      Not one-liners. One-word answers.

      I literally write one word.

      Finished watching Kokoro Connect ep6...
      Inaban is definitely my most fav char from the series and thus by far, the greatest roles ever being given for Sawashiro Miyuki...Inaban is such a lovely character i think she suit Taichi more than Iori

      I'm abit sad that body swapping is just temporary phenomenon, i think you can always expand it to better degree of conflict. But this also mean that the author have plenty of idea to make the show more interesting, and more challenging for the chars to tackle the problem.

      Personally, I thought her best role is still Saeko Busujima.

      On a general scale, I'd consider her villain role for Symphogear her top recent performance.

      But yeah, she's good enough as Inaba. Since she used her natural voice, it's easy to be convinced that Inaba might as well be someone you actually met before. In fact, most of the characters are.

      Her only low point to me in the series so far, is when she had to emulate Nagase in episode 5. Sawashiro feels to me as if she's yet to truly master a wide range of pitch without it sounding fake.

      I think her voice acting skill is ok...at least she play a lot of different persona in many different anime....

      Now you compare her with Ryoko Shintani, Kugi Rie, and Yukarin...at least you could see how versatile her voice is...Most of the time, i cant even tell that's her unless i dig through ANN (Not for Kokoro Connect though, since she use her natural voice and i can tell that's her)

      Technically, Sawashiro has it(most of them do. that's what they go to schools for). Problem is, I can hear her voice becoming more coarse with pitch increase. It was especially obvious to me in the episode where she became both Inaba and Nagase. Elsewhere, her transition into Taichi was flawless.

      Most people in here probably won't care though. I guess I'm a bit more sensitive on these things because of past experiences of listening to hours upon HOURS of spoken dialogues in VNs and eroges. And man, I could've sworn most of the recurring actresses have this knob on their throats that lets them adjust their pitches ranging from 'loli' to 'MILF' in an instant.

      And the other VAs you mentioned? I think it's not their own faults they got pigeonholed into their respective stereotypes. Especially Kugimiya; she can transition her voice into various age groups across both genders, without sounding too coarse. However, just one role that happened to make her popular, and suddenly she's the tsundere queen. She herself must have felt frustrated at some point.

      New episode of Space Brothers was nice. I also want to see the movie but after watching the trailer I'm not so sure for certain reasons.
