Like Rin Sawamura from Midori days and Kūkaku Shiba from Bleach. They're annoying as hell. They're loud, rude, ect.

You sound like you're sorta describing tsundere at the same time.
And I like tsundere girls, they get me hot. =D |

Not me, they completely bring down the experience for me.

It depends on how well done they are, for me. If there's backstory information that explains why they're the way they are, or if it's too over the top, then I don't mind it so much.
Really, I think I can like pretty much any sort of character as long as the character development is there. That being said, the "tsundere" type isn't really my favorite type of character. (But, being a girl, I'm more interested in all the male achetypes.  The jerks-with-a-heart-of-gold and the failure knights, etc.)

I guess what appeals to me about tsunderes is how they treat a guy like dirt but deep down they totally dig him. Somehow part of me finds that incredibly sexy, I don't know why. =D

If the character is well developed I don't mind. I don't like it when they just throw one of those characters into the anime just because they can, and then they don't bother doing anything to advance the connection with the character (of course this annoys me regardless of archetype).

Kids, you're mixing two stereotypes: the domineering older sister, and the tsunderekko. The former is not (except in hentai) a love interest, while the latter invariably is.

I like the domineering older sister characters. They seem cool to me, and they're usually looking out for their younger siblings. And it's really funny when they beat up the guys and make them wimper and beg for mercy. Man, I find out new things about myself everyday.

I actually like the domineering older sister personality. It has to be done right though. I prefer the the witty and sarcastic peaceful type or just the plain brute strenght who'll just beat the crap out of anyone type. I don't know if she counts as a domineering older sister, but Nabiki from Ranma is my all time favorite anime character. In Air Gear, the older sisters are actually quite comical. If you haven't read/seen Air Gear, you'd probably hate it cause there's a bunch of them. Oh yeah, I had to google that Kukaku Shiba character, cause I completely forgot who she was.

I'm kind of scratching my head on the Kuukaku hate, since she's one of my favorite characters in a cast that doesn't have all that many standouts. She's certainly just about the only thing that made that last filler episode on [as] appealing.

I don't have a problem with them. I'm more annoyed by the bossy/bratty younger siblings arctype.

It's funny because I don't really get the whole tsundere craze, but I'm a sucker for the jerks with a heart of gold as well  I guess that would make sense though.

I kinda like Kuwabara's sister from Yu Yu Hakusho as she seems to have the type of personality that's good to have in a crisis.

Ummm...wouldn't "jerks-with-a-heart-of-gold" just be a tsundere type for girls? Oh, if that was what you were saying in your post, sorry, I don't catch on too quick. Anyway, I personally like tsundere's myself. |

I agree, and I think I'm kinda like that  Anyway, I prefer the aggressive older sister type over the kind, gentle and lady-like older sister (like Haruka from Minami-ke, etc). I find that type of character boring and a little overrated.
