I agree with you.
It actually made me hate the anime, they forcefully made iori fall off and made inaba more likable. They shat all over my favorite character and put him with the aggressive man woman. It was WAY too forced. I feel like I wasted my entire day watching this anime. They shoved Inaba down my throat and I couldn't stomach it. And all of the sudden he just loves her at the end? yeah okay, his love for Iori is a thing of the passed. YEAH OK. COOL. GOOD WAY TO GO ABOUT IT, BECAUSE HE DIDNT KNOW THE REAL HER? Sick anime, YES IM BUTT HURT THAT MY HEROINE WASN'T THE ONE HE ENDED UP WITH. WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES AND IM RANTING AND BEING IMMATURE I KNOW. JUST NEEDED TO VENT.

Iori. From my POV she has experience the most growth character wise. Inaba becomes likeable which is what the writer intended. Ioris' character is one that is flawed but comes to realize those flaws and grows from it make her far more likable IMO. I guess I am just more of a sucker for complex characters.

Don't get me wrong I like Inaba as well but she is like the others experience a generic kind of character growth. Iori's character, while I have seen it before, just experienceed growth on a larger scale and it leaves a bittersweet taste in my mouth to see her put aside. At the same time I understand why she and Taichi wanted to restart their relationship and why she does go after him again.

On a different note while they did truly love each other their love was created from false circumstance(Iori not being her true self and falling in love with him to conform to her environment and Taichi falling in love with Ioris' conforming self) and for them it wasn't right. On a personal note and i do not think it was expressed in the novels but is just my opinion; I think they still love each other, cause they did say that they really did love each other, and that Taichi will not go for Iori, and vice cersa, cause that would be doing a disservice to Inaba. I think it is possible for them to get back together but is unlike to happen.(only in my imagination will that happen!!!!!!!)

It's very easy choice. Inaba, for sure.
Lori was so annyoing, I couldn't stand her (especially at the end). Since the first episode I hoped that Taichi end up with Inaba because her character was more interesting (pervert tsundere, lol) that Lori's (at the beginning she was sweet, popular, nice girl... boring).

This love triangle actually resembles the one in School Days.
But this time people support Sekai aka Inaba , instead of Katsura aka Iori.

Like,what?I loved Sekai in School Days but I couldn't stand Inaba in this show,seriously,so annoying.I hate her for the same reason people hated Sekai in School days, you can't just hook up two people and then get in the way and be like 'nope,i like him after all.' fck that shet.
I dislike Inaba so much,that when I hear her seiyuu in some other anime I get so much annoyed haha so childish :c

Iori didn't win the guy at the end(kinda makes sense since he liked the 'always funny' Iori) but she wins chara development for me, the last episodes were so interesting!

For me, Inaba was a good character. She fits perfectly the usual funny/pervert tsundere, and that's nice but it does not go far in development.

I rejoin Meykkei on this point, i found that Nagase was more developed and more interesting, especially on the last episodes.

i really liked inaba staring from first episode her voice,advises,character was just what i would want from a real life friend/girlfriend...iori just reminded me Zero no Tsukaima,she kept resetting her mind over and over,i mean she still believes she must hide something from others after all things they have been through....

Inaba from episode 1 was way better than Iori and the difference increased over the course of the series.

I thought this was going to be the first anime I've seen where the character I liked the most didn't get chosen by the protagonist.

I was wrong in the end.

Best feeling ever.

And Inaba is one of my favorite heroines in any anime, let alone the runaway best girl in this show.

Honestly? Even though I think Inaban's a cool character and all, I prefer Iori by far. It's just that her issues and character were rather complex, and I enjoyed it. Then again, it might be because I can relate to her wanting to impress people, as well as her identity crisis.

Heh. Then again, I tend to like a lot of the underrated charas. It really sucks to see Iori hate often, especially with how giant the Inaban fanbase is compared to hers... It's sorta to the point where it makes it seem like only me and a few other people are Iori fans...*sulks in corner*

I agree.

I honestly didnt care that much for any of the male characters since they were very bland and boring. I just dont know what Inaba and Iori saw in the male MC

I thought it was a cheap move the way the anime made Iori less likeable as the anime went on and the way the anime made Inaba more likeable as the anime went on. SPECIALLY DURING THOSE 4 FINAL SPECIAL EPISODES!!!

Also, for a moment, I thought that the blonde chick was also going to go after the male MC when he helped her out with her phobia. But that didnt happen

I can see why people like Inaba more. I like her a little too. I don't care for Iori much in the tv series because she was so happy go lucky, but I like her in Michi Random with all the angst (even if the majority of people tend to be put off by that kind of attitude). She's just one of those characters I want to defend.

Iori also had the chance to be with Taichi but she rejected him so it's her fault IMO :P I was an Iori fan at the start but then after like the 5th episode I started to become a big Dereban fan. Bottom line, Iori had her chance (he confessed 3 times I think?) and she didn't take it. SO NO MORE HATE ON INABA!!

This. Inaba's good, but Iori was by far the most interesting character out of the group. I also hate how the writers completely retconned all the development that she went through during the main series, just so they could make way for the Inaba x Taichi ship to sail.

So just because she didnt end up with Taichi it means all her development retconned?LOL

Iori never liked Taichi,she told him how she feels and Taichi moved on...Thats all,its not like Iori died after that or anything,she is still there...

I just saw the results for this XD, I wonder who actually voted for Iori... It seemed as if she was a Tsundere, Which equals an automatic victory.

Iori had her chance and didn't follow through.
Inaba's thoughts-confession was too sweet and too powerful to dismiss it just like that .. she fought the hardest for him and loved him the most!
Inaba FTW :)

This anime gave Inaba all of the powerful romantic / entertaining scenes. This anime never gave Iori a chance. It wasnt a fair field.

When Taichi kissed Iori, it was with Inaba's body also.

The happy go lucky / cheerful chick never wins.

And then in the final 4 special episodes, this anime made Iori extremely unlikable while giving more awesome scenes to Inaba.

It just wasnt fair.

What was more ridiculous is that Iori and Inaba fell in love with such a bland character as Taichi. I really hate anime characters like Taichi, the selfless, wants to help everyone, character. And the blonde male MC was also very bland.

If you think Iori was a happy go lucky cheerful chick,i assume you didnt actually watch/understand the anime...

You are right about other thing tho,Iori became an annoying character in the last part of the anime...
