This is partly why Rin's route is my favorite route.

The more I think about it, even as frustrating as it can be, I think I'm starting to agree. Does this make Rin my defacto favorite? :?

Mostly if you look at Hisao's perspective then yes, I do have to agree with SOME of OPs post.

Admit it, the only character that changed in the end is Hisao.

And yes, sometimes decisions are driven by the amount of 'FEELS' you have in each arc so 'defacto-ing' things is common, so don't have to be ashamed about it.

If we're strictly going by feels, then Emi would be my favorite, which is impossible as I can't fucking stand her. Not all feels are good feels.

Hmm...true.

I stand corrected.

Then whatever it is, let our mentality judge it anyway it wants. The human mind is a mysterious thing after all, and what makes us drawn to these characters are probably mysteries as well. Yep, it sounds better too.

This.

Look at the over-arcing story of Gregory House. He's the same misanthropic jerk in the last episode that he was in the first. That doesn't mean he hasn't developed as a character.

I disagree. Rin is nothing like Shizune in their ends.

nonsense, Rin drove Hisao and her lesbian best friend (Emi) away because of her difficult personality just like Shizune

Nomiya changes from a cocky jerk to an extremely frustrated jerk. That counts for something, right?
Hanako's favorite joke is The Aristocrats, but she never tells it because Lilly finds it really offensive. Instead, she practices her delivery in front of a mirror when she's alone. It's the only time she never stammers.
