Now that this last arc has been released, will it be everything we hoped for? Read on as we look at Kokoro Connect Episodes 14, 15, 16, and 17, the Michi Random arc.
Seems like a growing trend the past couple of seasons for studios to crank out quick, cheap, 5 minute or less anime shorts in an effort to… uhhhh well…. honestly I’m not sure what these things are for, but there’s quite a few of them this season and they often get the same big announcement (and streaming license) as any other full length title.
