Seshi has a blog? How exciting!

"dere" is usually associated with romance, which I guess isn't seen as manly/masculine. From these examples, my preference is definitely Kuudere. I like characters like Kizumonogatari's Araragi Koyomi and OreGairu's Hikigaya Hachiman.  Naofumi wasn't bad either.  Characters that are emotional, but show them in an awkward way like these three are sadly relatable, yet fun to watch for me. 

What about you, Seshi? Seems to me like you'd like the Deredere-types, but I could be wrong. 

Yea, so I do love those cute little deredere characters, I just want to collect them all 

But honestly in my personal life, it was the Kuuderes that I'd go for.

I tend to have the strongest reactions - both positive and negative - to kuudere characters.  Irie Naoki from Mischievous Kiss I wanted to strangle for instance, but I did/do like characters like Sesshoumaru (Inuyasha), Goblin Slayer, or Shiroe (Log Horizon).  Sometimes they can be boring though (Tatsuya Shiba, The Irregular at Magic High) if they're not well-written/acted.

Do you have a favorite type?

Probably kuu, since they're most interesting to me and interesting characters make for interesting anime.  They tend to need good supporting characters to play off though.

They sure are interesting. There’s a crazy one on the show I’m watching right now - Vinland Saga, called Askellad - he is interesting. My favorite is the boy, our future MC
