Psychosis doesn't do it for me, especially the Homicidal Psychosis that will turn on you in a flash because you happened to have a piece of hair on your shirt from bumping into a girl on your way to the store. Yes a Tsundere has probably been done in every color, but that's why I said almost always! Well, at this point a tsundere has been so overdone that you can read the actions of one like a book. A comic book at that. Such a predictable character is hard to properly engage the audience's attention. Psychosis gives an excuse for unpredictability and random awesome. If it is about entertainment, I'd have to go with the psychos. All the time. That said, even in recent years there are still some good tsunderes. I just wouldn't put Toradora as a good place to look for it, not the anime anyway. | ||

She is however a Yandere and not Yangire. On April 28 2010 08:35 Ecael wrote: You want tsunderes to be over the top though, I'd really just say Taiga is a bad character, period. I am quite biased in this matter though, being a Ami fan Even taking this into account Taiga was STILL over the top, even for a Tsundere archetype. I did not like her character at all regardless of the fact that I like Tsundere in general. | ||

You don't suddenly stop liking chocolate ice cream just because everybody starts selling chocolate ice cream. Of course, if the quality of said ice cream begins to go down because of how mass produced it is, that's another matter. Still, it's not impossible to find quality products, even with chocolate being so overdone. + Show Spoiler + lol this analogy And we know you like the crazy ones. I'm not particularly fond of them myself, bu I will concede that they make for excellent plot twists. | ||

Other than early Minorin and Sumire (and maybe Ryuuji), all the characters are pretty annoying. Taiga starts out unbearably annoying, but later on she starts showing her dere side a bit more, and sometimes acts cute, but still kinda annoying. Minorin starts out crazy and great, then drama happens and..well.. I still liked her then, but I can understand why people would dislike her. Kitamura starts out pretty bland, then drama happens and he's just completely annoying. Jesus, even that one girl voiced by Ai Nonaka (I forgot her name) becomes unbearable at some point, if I'm not mistaken it's when they go skiing. They're all bad enough, but Ami is just...eww. She starts out as a venomous bitch, continues being a venomous bitch, except trying to get Ryuuji to herself, then continues being a venomous bitch when she realizes she has no chance and starts to "help" Ryuuji. She's disgusting from beginning to end, I think the only moment I liked her was at the very end when she decided to be friends with Minori, I don't even remember why or how, but still. Wow..I think I dislike Toradora more than I thought... | ||

I'll throw my weight behind the "Characters that transcend current archetypes", but that's becoming so rare nowadays  Yet I suppose if I were to pick one archetype, it'd have to be Yangire. All these "dere"s don't really fly with me since they all rely on some sort love interest to work. Yangires are fundamentally more interesting since they will always have some greater reason as to why they act the way they do, rather than love. And I'm not getting involved into this Toradora debate... I know what happens when this comes up... + Show Spoiler [THIS] + ![[image loading]](http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/78/toradorainterwebs.png) | ||

The one I'm thinking of had a pretty damn good reason for being angry. Like getting her arm burned off and watching as a gigantic fire ball blew up her house and killed her parents. But we could be thinking about a different Louise here | ||

About Yangire vs Yandere, I prefer the former because of greater freedom of movement, but honestly even with yandere it is easily enough to use a love related reason to act all insanely. Wait, Louise + Tsundere talk =/= ZnT? | ||

Taiga and Louise are petty Tsundere's really. Ones that haven't even had a bad life or anything at all that warrants how they treat people but they do it anyway. | ||

Was expecting a bit more excitement / action from battles but at least Togame doesn't disappoint. Just saw ep 4. They show us animations of their fight in episode 3 but not the actual fight?! I'd feel ripped off if nee-chan weren't full of rape and a kind of creepy atmosphere. lol holy shit wtf nee-chan haven't actually read the whole novel series, but the way it seems in the anime is to build her up to be the ultimate final boss maybe?

People always compare Taiga, Louise, Shana and Nagi (Hayate no Gotoku, not the Kannagi one) though. Louise is the worst by far in my opinion. | ||
