Oh, certainly the tsundere isn't the most popular in every show. But the archetype managed to win Anime Saimoe three years in a row (2008-2010 with Kagami/Taiga/Azusa) and charactes like Kana (Ano Natsu de Matteru), Mix (Aquarion Evol) and now Ibara (Hyouka) seem to be much, much more popular in polls than one would expect from their "stature" in their respective shows - something I can't say about Nagisa or Yuki.
I suppose you could take issue with my choice of "usually the most popular" but that's the kind of debate I see as largely pointless.
Anyway, like Triple_R I'm just wondering why she's ranked so high and can't come up with much other than tsundere appeal. From what I've seen, Eru is a far more impressive and memorable character.
