History YMMV / KokoroConnect

* {{Fanon}}: It's easy to think of Nagase as KC's [[VideoGame/Persona3 Junpei]] (it helps that they share the name, Iori).
%%* JerkassWoobie: Inaba.
%%* MagnificentBastard: Heartseed
* {{Moe}}: [[spoiler:4 year old Inaba]] from episode 11.
* OvershadowedByControversy: Almost any discussion concerning ''Kokoro Connect'' will be about the Creator/MitsuhiroIchiki prank incident. Because of the treatment of Ichiki (namely, that he was called in to do an audition for a character that didn't even exist, and not only ''didn't'' get the part, but was relegated to a PR manager who got humiliated and electrocuted in one incident), otaku were furious and planned to boycott the anime. See [[https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/zm4yx/a_summary_of_the_kokoro_connect_prank_incident/ here]] for all of the relevant information.

%%* TheWoobie: Iori

* {{Wangst}}: Inaba's confession about her trust issues in episode 4 is supposed to be genuine, but comes off like something an emo teenager would write in their diary.
** Arguably the point of the entire scene; considering how little the rest of the cast seemed to care about her confession, the show made it seem like she was worrying over something pointless.

* EarWorm: The opening and closing credits.

* JerkassWoobie: Inaba.
* MagnificentBastard: Heartseed

* TheWoobie: Iori

* InternetBackdraft: The incident with Creator/MitsuhiroIchiki quickly became a reviled topic, and one that both this project and many of the voice actors involved will [[OvershadowedByControversy be remembered for]].

* AllAnimationIsDisney: The fact that the light novel was illustrated by ''[[Manga/KOn that]]'' [[Anime/TamakoMarket Yukiko]] [[Literature/{{hyouka}} Horiguchi]] makes the anime series easily mistaken as a production by Creator/KyotoAnimation, when it was animated by Creator/SilverLink.

* FridgeBrilliance: [[spoiler: During the final episode, when Gotou tells the main characters that he plans to remain the advisor of their club [[ShaggyDogStory regardless of who won the competition]], Inaba punishes him by holding him in an arm lock - a wrestling move. Then you remember which one of the main characters is a self professed hardcore wrestling fan...]]
* FridgeHorror: There are incorporeal, inscrutable, seemingly omnipotent "beings" out there with [[BlueAndOrangeMorality no discernible sense of morality]] who think nothing of showing up one day to mess up (arguably to the point of killing) the lives of completely random people because it's "interesting".

* NeedsMoreLove

* TheWoobie: Iori

* {{Moe}}: [[spoiler:6 year old Inaba]] from episode 11.

* RuinedForever: Whether you think it undeserved or not, the show became this for many viewers after "[[ScandalGate Auditiongate]]". Several irate fans flooded Amazon with bad reviews, and the show's pre-order ratings did noticeably drop.
