Kokoro Connect is one of my favorite anime shows to date. Even in 2018.
Each character, especially Iori Nagase, has a surprising level of depth, story and relatability to them.
And it was one of the first anime to experiment with “out of body” experiences. Which made the story and emotional train ride more impactful and interesting.

Idolizing celebrities. Putting others on a pedestal and then mimicking their personalities… It makes sense why people do it, but in the end you’re doing yourself a disservice by not being who you really are.
“If you’re lonely, you should say something! If you’re worried, say something! Most people aren’t as sharp as you are! If you want those people to understand you, you should say something! Even if you’re worried that you’ll embarrass yourself, you should still say something!” – Iori Nagase

“I don’t have to be perfect. I don’t have to meet everybody’s expectations. There are people who accept me as I am.” – Iori Nagase
The mistake is thinking you have to meet people’s negative expectations or force people to accept you. When instead you should just surround yourself with people who accept you without question.
