Hmm, while he has a point about Kugimiya being way more deredere than should be allowed yuri routes aren't old or prevalent for that matter. Unpopular harems still outnumber them 13 to 1. But what's he mean by simple storylines where heroines fall easily? Fall romantically? Because that's been done to death or just lose in battles because that's also been done to death.
It's specific commentary on the current winter 2011 season shows. Kyouko's father states that Kugimiya's tsundere (like Shana and Louise) is now old compared to Dragon Crisis' deredere and yuri shows (like MariMite or Simoun) are now old compared to Infinite Stratos' harem. The artist states that they prefer the old paradigm.
It is true that recent tsundere have been more deredere than ever. It seems as though old school tsundere has all but died, I prefer it the old way. True yuri is fairly old but in reality it has never been that popular since it's so niche so it only seems old but is still alive and well. Instead it a new wave emerged and I like both the new and the old. The most popular shows these days are strongly (but not definitely) yuri. I like to call this the New Wave Shounen Yuri which blends yuri overtones with comedy and action while leaving room for doujin writers. Think of it as Yuri for everyone not just other lesbians.
Action chick collecting harems like Infinite Stratos are really common these days I've counted over half a dozen in the last 6 months alone but none of them are particular popular or good. These are actually pretty old going back as far as 1997 but they've just never lost their appeal to average writers since they're as timeless as porn and just as easy to write. Most viewers on the other hand no longer care about them. This even worries Ken Akumetsu. I'm indifferent though since I've never really liked harems.

deredere? Kugimiyia is doing more yangire nowadays...
The savior of the new worldA new era needs new beliefs in order to be saved.Even though he didn't say anything that was wrong...The yuri route with no men involved is already old!From now on it's simple storylines where the heroines fall easily!When he preached things that weren't part of the doctrine, the believers stopped coming...No, that is wrong.
...as a human being.You're right, Papa, don't give in!Kugimiya's tsundere is already an old thing!From now on, it's Kugimiya's deredere!
