Kyon is a pretty good character but I wouldn't say that TMoHS is especially good. I don't know how it is rated on MAL or if it is even relevant anymore. (I know it had a crazy fanbase a few years back) But as Ducat said, it has it's moments and I would personally be against it being added to any of the lists. Had it been 2009, it would definitely be added to the relations, but now I'm not so sure. No one talks about it anymore. It's a forgotten piece of anime history. |

I myself actually like classic tsunderes which are different from their inferior successors). |

Shana, Louise, Taiga, who is the fourth? And Kurisu, Misaka and a few other tsunderes can be decent at times, I agree. |

IRC, she acted like a tsundere not because of the archetype per se, but they made a plausible explanation why she acted that way throughout the story. It was Bake's black humor attempt at poking fun of just how silly and ridiculous the whole archetype is. So yeah, that was kind of a joke. Nidhoeggr said: Shana, Louise, Taiga, who is the fourth? And Kurisu, Misaka and a few other tsunderes can be decent at times, I agree. Though not quite as popular, Nagi from Hayate Combat Butler counts since she lumps on the same as the big 4. |

I'm not particularly fond of tsunderes in general, but I do rather like Taiga. I don't think she deserves to be added to the list just for her immense popularity. Now, it's been quite a while since I watched Toradora, it was one of my first real anime in fact, but what I remember of it was quite good. I enjoyed her presence on the screen and think she is of higher quality than most characters of her trope. So, I go against adding her. |

ForgoneReality said: I think Louise and Shana should be added (haven't seen ZnT but from what I've heard...) but not Taiga. The reason for that is because Taiga actually has character development and becomes not only tolerable, but an enjoyable character. Shana stays virtually the same for 2 seasons and then it got even worse in S3.Nidhoeggr said: Just because someone is based off of a commonly used format doesn't mean they aren't still good characters.

I just came across some rather trivial, but upsetting news. So, I've been watching Sakurasou, (refrain judgement please) and decided to check out the character page. It was then that I discovered that the autistic [read: "Moe"] main female has 1106 member favourites. And she is straight up autistic, like, it's not even shrouded in the show. All the other characters have a schedule set up to take care of her, because she can't live on her own, and that's apparently cute? Then I checked out Jin, who actually is a well-written, fleshed out, non-idiolized, sometimes despicable, always believable, but ultimately likeable character. He has 16 member favourites. I just want to sit in a corner, mutter dark thoughts and then punch a person. So in the name of all that is righteous and just, can we please add Mashiro Shiina to the character relations list? |

I guess the way they (badly) developped the character is what mostly seduced the audience and needs to be blamed, not ... Shiina herself.

Sorata was the most realistic and best developed character of the entire show. Shiina is, as already stated, autistic. Her dialogue is almost exclusively single words or short phrases, just telling people what she wants, or how she feels, or how she doesn't know anything. People only like her because her mental retardation is supposedly cute. I wonder if Sorata has ever had to wash laundry in which she shit herself in. Because I wouldn't find it hard to believe. tsudecimo said: The only thing she deserves is a hard sock in her mouth.-1 for Taiga i think she deserves her popularity. |

Most of his emotions didn't seem his own, but rather as if he absorbed the obstacles and thoughts of those around him. Now, this isn't necessarily bad, because there are totally real people like that in real life. He was definitely going through a lot of change because of it too. The only thing is, this doesn't make for a good main character, yet the writers forced him in that position. He is not a protagonist, because he is never the one to advance the story or relationships. He would have been just fine as a side character, that provides interaction, but they didn't do that. |

Might I inquire about Eve Genoard from Baccano? She's one of the major detriments to Baccano for me. She completely sucks the life and optimism out of anything within a 10 meter radius of her. Following her around in Baccano was nauseating, she mopes 99.99% of the time and is almost entirely fixated on getting her douche bag brother back. I can't empathize with Dallas because he's a total good-for-nothing scumbag, with his actual namesake being the only thing that separates him from being recognized as Thug #___, subsequently Eve has hardly a drop of depth to her, and her motivations to getting Dallas back seem very hopeless and weak, and Dallas himself seems beyond salvaging. For a series that is a rambunctious and jazzy riot, Eve and her storyline seem almost entirely out of place and detract from the fun, which is totally counter-productive. Then again, I doubt she's very popular to begin with. |

Can't say we should put Eve in. She's not popular. And it's well known she is the most boring and generic character within the Baccano! lot. This is all in the anime though. Unless you can tell me she doesn't develop at all in the LN series, then the grounds of the character nomination, while true, are insubstantial. Still waiting for an Evangelion character in our list though. |

Still waiting for an Evangelion character in our list though. Mhmm, good point. Anyways, other people I have considered: Mikoto Misaka: haven't seen much of her, but I just hated her from the start; she took tsunderes to a more explicit and irritating extreme when I saw her, but I've only seen a bit of Index, so I can't really vouch for her. Orihime Inoue in place of Ichigo if we were to have only 1 character per series, but anyways, she starts out as a ditzy, but somewhat curious and daring young woman and devolves into a basic damsel in distress through and through, but I imagine everyone already pretty much knew this, so it may have been taken into account before. Yuno is already being (or has been) polled, so I'll just leave it at that. Kira Yamato: A generally dull lead with half-baked morals who can be rather irritating to watch. Then I would have Ritsuko from Kids on the Slope for being so weak willed and somewhat insensitive (my distaste with her kind of coincides with the same feelings I have for the ending) and Yamato from Sukitte Ii na yo for being kind of shallow and easily manipulated and how he doesn't really try to explicitly affirm his purpose for being with Mei to begin with (or it was something along those lines, can't entirely remember) but these last 2 are just characters I hate who aren't too popular, so the people mentioned in the first paragraph take priority. |

I don't really think Sorata fits in your Kirito drawer thing they are too different . Kirito is usually calm and collected and successful in the game and romance department while Sorata is an obnoxious over the top emo brat who fails at everything. |
