Toradora would be this season's Kugyuu anime. It focuses on the relationship forged between Ryuji Takasu and Taiga Aisaka in order to get with the other's friend.

but ya, it seems we get our fifth character next episode, so we'll see how that fits into the anime

i really like this anime, it is a very simple topic, but makes it interesting...i especially love the backround music at times....in the first episode, right when it starts, that guitar is just awesome

Arghhh, I need to watch the anime. x_o

I've only ever read the manga, so I don't know how the anime turned out. I heard it's not too bad, but I'd really love to see someone other than Kugimiya do a main-tsundere. <_< It'd be nice to see someone else flex those tsuntsun deredere muscles.

I think it's more that Kugimiya does one of the more notable impressions of the loli tsuntsundere than tsundere in general. Most other lolis as far as i know are the Rich, Looks down on everyone-type or the caring, loving little sister, with the occasional quiet loli, and the clumsy one, but that's not really the point since i'm talking more on lolis than tsundere. But loli tsundere...i think i could probably see Tamura Yukari (Yukarin) do a loli tsundere, and maybe Sawashiro Miyuki. dunno, can't think of too many loli voice actors off the top of my head.

HOWEVER! The ToraDora Sentai/Rangers have finally been formed! Time to assign colors!

Kugyuu is supposed to be a nickname for the seiyuu Rie Kugimiya, who voiced Louise from Zero no Tsukaima and Shana from Shakugan no Shana

She often plays loli-tsundere characters. lol. :<
Kugi-Chan to me then, nickname-wise.

Oh that's what Shana is. I don't like her, and I don't what defines the tsundere archetype... Hm.
I'm glad I have a tendancy to naturally steer clear of popular anime, they really aren't for me.

I feel so out of it since I only barely have a grasp on what tsundere even is, ahaha. 8|

At any rate, one of my Twitter/LJ friends was going on about this anime so I ended up watching the first four episodes and... I don't mind it. :O It's cute so far; I'll probably try to keep up with it this year.

I can't stand Kugimiya anymore. I'm watching this for Yui Horie, whom I used to dislike, but now adore. <3

Anyway, Toradora! has been quite good so far. I like most of the characters and the soundtrack [including bgm songs and OP/ED] is great.

Also about the colours… •shot• xD
geh >> you realized that was there. Switch Minori and Ami's colors and i have no problem with that, since Minori is definitely Leader (red). Minori is god, all hail Minorin. honestly though, she's the funnest character of the bunch, especially with the psycho switches of seriousness levels all over the place. It really makes the series a lot more fun that it might normally be
