I also think that Iori's looks are overrated in the show. I think Inaba and and Yui have better character designs yet both of them agree that Yui is the cutest girl in the whole show. |

3. He's some very powerful being who does all of this solely for entertainment, because he's bored. He's neither malevolent (i.e. he doesn't want to intentionally harm them or make them suffer) nor benevolent (i.e. he doesn't do this to improve their situations or solve their problems).

I'm neutral on the shipping side since I usually just go with whatever the creators choose (as long as they develop it properly like any other aspect of their story) however Iori seems to have the kind of joy and enthusiasm that's missing in Taichi (at least judging from everyone's comments about how Taichi never smiles), and Taichi has a doctorate in psychology that can help her with her problems.

The girls differ only in hair anyway, so I'm not sure how much in-depth we can talk about their designs. I see it this way: Tsunderes' main trait is aggression and defensiveness, while Ice queens have an air of distance and cool-headedness around them. Both have an unlockable "deredere" mode. |

2. Inaban is an ice queen, not a tsundefre. |

Yui is a special case. She doesn't come off as Tsundere, she just doesn't want (or can't) relate with boys due to her past.
Iori... is not easy. She herself said that she has multiple personalities, which I'm sure is bound to drop her on the "unstable" side... and hence I believe that your Yandere description could fit. Himeko... She's a Tsundere. She came off as very snappy in the first episode, but she isn't really a bad person. If I had to compare her to someone... It'd be Rin Tohsaka from Fate/ series Arturia

Himeko isn't a tsundere. She's pretty much a kuudere. Tsunderes get mad when they're not in control, kuuderes keep their cool. Iori strikes me more as a genki girl. Genki girls usually hide something nasty behind their facades. |

Inaban's pretty damn straightforward and shameless about what she wants and when she says/does anything she means it at all time with a straight face, much unlike our tsun tsun magician over there. Meh I think I'll just stop here and let you guys find out in the rest of the season. Just putting it out there that while Inaban could be "dere" but she's most definitely not "tsun". |

I think the term "tsun" is kinda overused, but I guess you can argue that it all boils down to personal preferences. Anyway like I said, it's only episode 5. Let them develop more before we make any conclusions. |

In any case, I don't see the point in trying to fit them into a mold. They are all very... interesting characters. Iori: Multiple Personalities. Going from carefree to serious, pervert to innocent... Himeko: Could be somewhat said to be the leader of the group. Notice how she's almost always in the "middle" of the picture (OP?) Has her moments, like not wanting to open up to the rest, punching a table out of frustration, then telling Taichi that he masturbated to him, later punching him. But somehow always keeping her cool. Even though it took a toll on her health. Yui: Horrible past, however she seems to be the nicest and most... "pure" of them all if you will. I just can't fit them into a "mold" and I think that it's a good thing. Arturia

The characters could've so easily ended up archetypical, but each has something that sets them apart from your regular anime cliches. |

In other news, apparently the Visual Novel is going to be very well done, artistically speaking. Set for release in October.
