    Taiga and Nagi = win
    Shana and Louise = fail

    partly because only the later 2 are tsundere.

    Taiga is not tsundere?

    Although taiga fits the tsundere archetype to the bill, she expands tremendously outside of that realm in subsequent episodes, and becomes a far more developed and dimensional character. In many ways she breaks out of her tsundere namesake and becomes a more authentic and real to the viewer. This is in comparison to Louise of course, as Shana is thoroughly well developed as well, but in my honest opinion nowhere as much as Taiga.

    Shana=Taiga > Nagi > Louise is my preferred ordered choice.

    A proper comment that makes complete sense on Sankaku Complex?

    Wow.

    I have to agree with you entirely, except I think Taiga is a little bit better than Shana.

    Shana is more hard-core tsundere, I think. Plus she swings a big flaming sword.

    Taiga and Shana are the real win.

    Nagi and Louise are beyond fail.

    Maybe because I think the first two are more rounded than the last two and don’t appear to be as stupid and annoying.

    Shana all the way. Nagi is way too much dere, while Louise is far too much tsun for my tastes. That and Shana’s tsundere streaks are generally more well done and don’t fall prone to becoming overly stupid like they did with Louise or Nagi, but then again, Shana was their predecessor as well so she had quite the lead over them to begin with anyways.

    As for Taiga, she is indeed nice, and I would rank her above Nagi and Louise, but she can’t compare to Shana at all.

    Louise is without a doubt the worst of the four. Tsundere is great and all, but she’s simply a sadist, for every one ounce of dere, she delivers seven-fold tsun.

    Liking Taiga though, mainly because she doesn’t abuse the protagonist every single goddamn scene. There’s still a lot of it, but they mitigated the one-sided violence enough as to where it’s far more lovable, only a masochist would hang around Louise longer than a week.

    And Shana and Nagi are love. Shana luckily evolved past the sadism stage, and Nagi was always great.

    I pretty much agree with this. I like the fact that Taiga and Shana developed past mere tsundere. I don’t think Nagi really is that tsun tsun though she has tendencies. Louise is just annoying all the way around.

    Bah, I choose Kugimiya. Done. Well, if it’s pure tsundere to be the basis of judgment, I’m gonna have to say Shana suits the term best. She has the least deviations from it. Taiga would be the next candidate, but she’s generally tsun towards Ryuuji, then goes dere too much for Kitamura. Nagi gave very little tsun, then is pretty much just dere. Louise is as stated above: “for every one ounce of dere, she delivers seven-fold tsun”. Anyway, if we’re still talking about Rie, give me a Tanaka as well.

    To be more accurate.
    Shana and Taiga fit more into the classic tsundere as mentioned by Shiraishi Minoru.
    While Louise and Nagi fit into the modern tsundere.
    Personally I prefer Shana > Nagi > Taiga > Louise
    As you can see, I hate violent women. Louise is a bitch. ZnT should burn in hell.

    My vote, Taiga = Shana -> Nagi -> Louise, for basically all of the reasons already mentioned. Toradora’s characters feel very much alive, and you will have a wish granted if you touch Taiga :O…ahem, Shana’s URUSAI can at times get annoying, but a great character never the less. Nagi…well she’s a great otaku hikkikomori, but I just don’t find her as great of a character as the other two. Need I say why Louise is at the bottom of my list? LOL

    Nagi’s the best, but she isn’t tsundere. The Palmtop Tiger is a the top tsundere. And she is (barely) tsundere — with a welcome emphasis on the dere, recently. Shana and Louise are annoying and boring — especially Louise. I guess you can tell I’m not really a classic tsundere fan.
