| Dereban for the fucking win. Great arc, neatly adapted from the fourth volume. (though they missed out some parts, including Iori actually thinking about what do to when she peeks through the warehouse window at the scene) And I do also believe that, even when reading the novel before watching, the thug hitting Taichi in the head with the steel pipe was kinda random. Everything ended up well, no complaints. |
| Am I the only one here who's rooting for Taichi x Iori. T___T |

I respect this show alot, I really do, it even made me rethink about the way I'm living my life right now considering all of the life events that I went through, because of these last few episodes. But I really can't respect how the world Love is just thrown around so much. Am I missing something here, I thought Taichi really loved Iori, because of all of the things that they went through, and all of the sudden, with one hit in the head he turns to Inaban. Not only that, they even talked about starting their relationship over, I understand that Taichi didn't fully know Iori when he said those words, but he still knew enough. She was going through alot of changes in her life but that should give him more reason to be there for her and he was, but suddenly everything just changed. IORI JUST WENT THROUGH SOME REALLY PAINFUL STUFF AND TAICHI AND INABAN GETS TOGETHER THAT SAME WEEK. WTF! -____- Am I the only one here who was unsatisfied with this ending! I agree...Though the majority seems to focus on Inaban a lot more because of the ending. The sudden change of Taichi's feelings got me confused, they did say that they were going to start the relationship again, but then Taichi got together with Inaban, just seemed weird to me(Not weird, but not sure how to describe it) Overall I'll give it a 10/10, because I love this anime so much, though it did not reach the ending that I wanted. :/ Its exactly how I feel, It was just too sudden, maybe I was just biased for Iori because I actually felt the same way as her back then but man, the show built up their relationship so well too, if anything I feel like it wasn't Iori that changed, but Taichi instead. He used to be the type that knew exactly what he wanted but these last four episodes, it seems as if he doesn't know what he wants at all. Just a complete turnaround. Actually I didn't get the feeling that their relationship was rushed. I even think that it was built up nicely so you can follow Taichi's thought process. So the whole romance was persuasive imo. |
| All hail the Nutcracker Queen! |

skullheart said: I can tell you what huusenkazura is but forum rule does not allow for it. There is still 5 more novels after the end of this arc. Then I guess I'll go buy them since I'm way too curious about what happens after a nice finish like this one^^ |
 |
| Shame it ended. Inaban is so damn cute :) Her confession was so funny :) Great anime. |
| Inaban was so damm cute in this episode and i really hope they decide to make a second season as i really want to find out what happens next. id also love for an english publisher like Yen Press to pick up the light novels cause their other light novel releases are pretty good |

| Aw Inaban, she's so cute (or should I say 'Dereban'?). Damn, I liked this arc very much. |
| HNNNNNNNNNNNNNG- THE BEST GIRL WON. 2012 WAS ACTUALLY A GOOD YEAR. Iroi end would have been god awful. |
 |
| A good conclusion to this anime. Glad to see Iori cheerful again and she made up with Setouchi :) Inaba's hormones just went wild in the infirmary... very cute indeed :D At least now Taichi and Inaba are officially going out. Overall, the anime has been very interesting and enjoyable with quite a few moments which made me burst out laughing but there's too much drama IMO which may be necessary for the show but not really my cup of tea... |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |

I REALLY DO. T__T AWESOME! I WAS SO HAPPY WITH WHERE THE SHOW WAS GOING TOO and the diff life lessons its making me realize, and then BAM. I dont know man, I'd be so depressed if I was Iori and I've been there too, just not as sudden! I actually preferred Taichi >< Inori too even though it's not that I don't like Taichi >< Inaba. Inaba is really in love with Taichi and she's cute! But still, the anime didn't explain enough so I went to read the LN (haven't read it before) and straight to Volume 4 chapter 9. I read it from baka-tsuki. The chapter's not really long but we could get more detail in there and more understanding. Now, I could happily ship Taichi >< Inaba without worrying Iori too much. You should read it too, end3rr. Maybe it could relieve your disappointment, just like mine. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
| As expected, Iori stole the show and made a fantastic finish to this series! Inaba x Taichi has really taken off and very nice as well. I still doubt it will get another season, but the hints are still there. They mentioned something about how the new year can bring about the opportunity for new characters to be included in the club. Maybe they did that as an incentive to buy the the DVDs/BDs in order to invest in another season? Hopefully the turn out will be desirable and we do get another season. But, whether it does happen or not, I'll definitely take some time to read the novel and find out what happens later. Also, I thought this arc was the 2nd best in the series. It's a borderline 9 (which is higher than what I gave the series). It wasn't as emotional as the first arc, but it was pretty damn close to it and the arcs that followed the first one are the only reason I dropped my score to an 8. |

| Man I really wish there's a second season. So unfortunate the BD/DVD sales figures have been....let's just say, not encouraging. |
 |
| Not bad, I would have rated this arc with an 8 but after seeing Dereban the 10 is mandatory! |
| HNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG DEREBAN~~ My chest was about to explode! Glad to know there's a possibility for season 2. :) |
| I guess they did it mostly for the shippers, cause nothing was really resolved at the end of this arc. |
| Ive been waiting for this Arc for so long since i have read it on the novel. The adaptation is really good that when i watched it on Raw I can use the Novel as the subs :D Just hoping that they will continue the series because the main story of the novel have ended and i know what Heartseed's real goal is(My lips are sealed on this part :D ) DEREBAN FTW!!! we need more DEREBAN~! 10/10 |

| Errr... Seems like I'm the only one who didn't enjoy watching this. |
 » Escapism. |
| Inaban tooooooooooooooooo cute!! XD I Died! Taichi x Inaban Soooo OTP!! and glad that Iori went back to her cheery self and this time not acting but as the real her. |

nretnaL said: Thanks - I didn't "hear" her say that either, so the subs's just confused me.Shinobuden said: I lol'd at Inaba's mind confession, did she really say "Make love to me!" in the midst of all that? That's a mistranslation / joke by subbers. There's no "make love to me," just a pure and simple barrage of "suki suki daisuki". |

Definitely a joke though xD One does not simply mistranslates Inaba's line! |

| Best anime of 2012, probably even one of my favorites now. This really blew me away. |
| Aki and Miyuki are amazing. Though it felt like Medaka and Kujira just took a 180 degree turn xD. |
| Loved it so much ^_^ Dereban was the best lol I'm conflicted, on one hand I want a second season but on the other it ended so conclusively and I don't want them to mess up the series or anything, gah! But with that whole VA controversy it probably wont get a second season anyways. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| Guys! Whats the ending song of it??? That song is so beautiful!! |
 |
| Even if you don't like the show as an anime, I hope everyone would at least respect and concur that the message this show left us with was a positive one and something you might even be able to reflect upon in real life. Personally I loved this show. It has flaws and manufactured some drama but it was damn good imo. The first arc really set the bar and this arc pretty much matched it. I'm glad to finally have this show completed. Inaba fans unite. But, even you aren't a fan I think having their intimate relationship is more appropriate than one with Iori. She is at ground zero herself and shouldn't be in a relationship like that. In truth, Inaba and Taichi are more compatible anyway and I think they tried to relay that message in the closing moments. 9/10 for this "sequel" and a 9/10 for the show as a whole. I'll miss it. |
| This shit was too good. I enjoyed the plot thoroughly, I have to say I always thought how conflict could arise from the stuff they have to deal with, and crazy Iori was too damn good. Liked the conflict, the end was kinda meh for me in terms of Iori's redemption and random kid with pipie somehow magically appearing out of nowhere on middle of bridge to still wack Taichi gaurding Inaban. Anyway scenes such as Taichi and Iori's split were nice, usually dream sequences don't work for me but I enjoyed it in this anime. I'm glad Inaba was able to be with Taichi, I was originally Taichi x Iori, but after seeing Inaban with Taichi and the oh so many HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG moments she gave me, I am happy she gets to be happy herself with Taichi. At one point I just couldn't breath!!!! 9/10 |
 |
| a very loyal adaption from arc one to four - enjoyed watching all of it (and reading what I could of it) I hope they adapt more truly. |

| DEERREEEBBBAANNN! |
 |
| I don't need to say that I liked anime, everyone here does but I have a question ..is there a meaning of "dereban"I am not aware of? Cause it is not a mix of their names... |
 |
| The series as a whole was decent, this arc was okay and the first arc was the best imo. The strongest part to Kokoro Connect was the characters, but even they got a little boring towards the end for me. I wonder who Iori is going to end up with? She seemed to get over Taichi pretty easily... 7/10 for Michi Random :) |
| Dereban<3 Inaban was so much this episode. |
| Great Anime! I'd call this a psycological serie. |
