she's annoying to the level of wrecking my nerves sometimes. but i don't think i hate her.
but maybe i wouldn't want an imotou like her >.<
i prefer cute on like miya :D

Ok, here's the thing (I don't know why I'm defending Kirino even after my vote is Other..., maybe I cast the wrong ballot?) why in the world do you want her to say thank you anyway? That would ruin her image absolutely, and haven't you ever done something covertly and feel proud that that person's happiness is through your actions even if they don't know it? I know I have and I remembered laughing my butt off and feeling great later on after I went to my own room and recalled how happy they were because of my actions whether they knew it or not. And another thing, isn't it enough that she has her "I miss you but I don't want to show it" moments like in episode 6? Honestly, for a character like Kirino that's the best type of cute that exists and isn't that how tsundere's are suppose to be? I won't comment in all the tsundere haters or dislikers out there because there is no point in arguing against someone who hates the trope anyway, but the people who hate Kirino because she isn't thankful or that she's being a (I think it is blasphemy to say it, again wondering if I cast the wrong ballot) "bitch" or any other reason for that matter really needs to look up the definition of tsuns. She's annoying sometimes, she could make you tear your hair out due to frustration on others, but that is the whole point no? Bottom line hating Kirino because she's tsun ok, no argument there you hate the trope, hating Kirino because she is very good at being tsun, well you got it all wrong my brothers and sisters of the anime world!

Tsunderes- Japanese character development process which describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing their warm side over time.

Yes, I looked up the word to make sure we're on the same page here. I get the whole tsunderes, but with 4 episodes left, how are the producers, directors, author, etc going to make Kirino show her warm side? So far she has the pride of being perfect (which apparently doesn't like too much). She asked him(her big "aniki")for his help desperately and then treats him like crap. Personally I don't want a "thank you" on every damn episode because then that would be annoying and to soft. But at least she could gradually be less "bitchy", "self-glrified" girl and be more helpful, seeing how the brother is trying his best...

yes, there are moments where she looks up to him for help, but in a menacing manner...really? If that happened to me I would ditch her right there and be gone really...maybe that's how I would be, but I wouldn't let my pride be stomped by anyone and no less my "little" sister...no respect these days...*sigh*

I'm going to give it a chance and see how it end, then perhaps some shed of hope can be seen from it....but if she stays the same, then there's no point in calling it tsunderes really...

The difference between most tsunderes and this particular tsundere imo is that she isnt going to show her "warm side" at least not within the anime (honestly, I think the anime is too short for that). At this point the best character development is her being jealous of Manami. How can you really claim that she hasn't developed any since the start of the anime? Her development is slow i can agree to that and sometimes its down right frustrating, but then again when she throws her little tantrum when Kyouske wasn't there or when she shows her apparent dislike for Manami, its enough for me. Sure there are issues with respect I'll attest to that but then aren't tsunderes generally disrespectful with people they whom they want to be with the most? I could name a number of animes with frustrating heroines because of the trope. The only thing I agree with is that she goes overboard here and there and that she should try to develop faster, but the other side of the coin, I think she's doing marvelously considering that the animes too short for a long term development which is imo how its suppose to be.

Well Im neutral...sometimes she's a little bitch...sometimes she looks kawaii....other times she is a REAL pain in the ass...but I think that's the special detail that makes it different from other animes :3

What I think they should do is give more background information other than they haven't talked to each other or w/e for years.

What you seem to be saying is that we might not see her warm side anytime now and even till the end.

What you aresuggesting is basically that the end of the series most likely be a cliffhanger of some sort. No one except in their imagination is going to know exactly what happened between the two at the end.

Another thing I'm claiming, the anime title is kinda misleading, I don't know about you, but when somone tells me what can I think of from the word kawaii(cute, etc) I think of something nice and warm, not something cold hearted and frustrating. That one thank you she gave him, she had that kinda nervous look which is ok, but to elaborate a bit more in that scene, after her bro left they could had showed her smiling and then end. Simple as that.

But as I pondered more at this anime I think think the makers were trying something different rather than making the usual bro-sis realtionship tsundere. But the perspective is a bit off and erratic.

"My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute"

Kyousuke think Kirino is cute,but he is also denying her cuteness at the same times.The title is not misleading.

On the fence, really. She has her good moments and then there's the bad ones that make me want to hate her. But again, it is her character. Plus she's...14? I wasn't mature at 14 myself so I can't expect her to be.

This.

Also, Kirino is easily flustered when she tries to be honest, which can be considered cute in a way.

Exactly there is defiantly something in the past that makes her like that...So yuh cant judge her too harshly until yuh get the whole story...Chii is always right =]

Kirino is an over-exaggerated Tsundere who whines like a spoiled kid.For some reason,i find this to be extremely cute and attractive ultimately leading me to love her in each episodes.

Spoiled as hell. More bad stuff should happen to her or more good stuff should happen to the other characters.

I like tsunderes. Actually I love them.

And you'd have to be blind not to notice she actually IS being nicer and nicer with kyosuke, in a certain way. Maybe she's not being *nice* but you can see how her emotions towards him start showing (like last ep, when she almost said she loved him).

No, tsunderes naturally acts that way, and besides,... she's really cute!!

I think her behaviour was fine earlier on in the series, when I thought that I like her as a character, but I wouldn't irl, but it's been too long without enough change (not denying there is change), and now she's just very annoying. Fortunately, the other characters are good, so she isn't dragging it down too much yet.

Also, the change has only been towards Kyousuke, but she's still exactly the same, because all that's going on is that they're getting closer. She's not actually learning anything and in a sense, not really growing as a person or even as a character.

Hating is so close with loving...

The more person who dislike her right now, I think the more will love her when the studio "turn the table" and show the ace card...

Yeah, I liked her in the beginning and started to dislike her a bit, but I think I will like her again the end.

But it will depend at how the studio play the cards. I hope they play the card right and show the real conflict which they hid every episodes,brilliantly, since the result of this polling shows that many of fans aren't patient to wait to wait that long.

I'm neutral. I admit she can be annoying but she has a reason to act that way plus she is a Tsundere so meh. She is also cute so yeah it balances out. She doesn't irritate me at all really...

I guess you need to know more about Kirino and actually the light novel as well to judge.

Her brother is the only reason why I haven't dropped this show. He deserves his own.

OMG YES. I HATE HER GUTS but then if she didn't exist there would be no story. But I still hate her.

Kirino is still better than Ayase...the latter needs a serious reality check and stop indulging in self-denial.
