I like how this
episode actually showed the funny sides as well as the problems of this
unleashing of desires.
There are a couple
of things that I would like to talk about in this episode. First off, I'd like
to go through the unleashing of desires. Other than that, I'll also quickly
talk about the emotional effect of this scheme to the group as well as their
way of preventing their unconscious action.
Now let me start
with going through their problem with regards to their interaction with other
people. Honestly speaking, I laughed when Taichi said that his desire to sleep
happened. His sister panicking with what happened is a pretty typical reaction.
And for some reasons, I remember myself in here 'cause when I was a kid, I was
like physically asleep but mentally awake and my mom was so scared O.O Anyway,
I believe that the dangerous or negative part of this scheme is when other
people gets involved. Of course they won't always be in life threatening
dangerous kind of things. It's more like
mental-kind of problem which is what happened to Nagase when their
classmates kept on bugging her about the whereabouts of Yui. The scary part in
here is gaining consciousness at the middle of the problem.
The other thing that
I would like to discuss is the internal argument that's going on within their
group because of their inability to control their emotion and words. The moment
that Inaba just brought out all her thoughts in a pissed off tone to Yui made
her more conscious and scared of this scheme. Their inability to control their
words and actions when their emotions win over them is a scary thought.
Other than the
social problems that this scheme is opening, the biggest thing that they are
encountering in her is the emotional and mental effect of this. The idea that
they can never stay at home or isolate themselves because it defeats the
purpose of Heartseed's experiment. Inaba did reminded everyone that when they
bore the hell out of Heartseed, he might try something dangerous again like
what happened to Nagase.
In an overall look
on Kokoro Connect as of this episode, I'd
say that everything is just pretty fine. It's still as interesting as it was
right from the very first episode and it makes me wonder how this series will
wrap up but I guess thinking about it is still to early since I believe that
this will be a 17-episode series(:
