You can't be deadpan and kuudere. Fact that we don't have deadpan as a tag to begin with kind of proves that.
Reason why you think that work is simply because deadpan is a state of emotion: kuudere is where they can't express one. The dere (read: moe) in that is the fact that when they are finally able to exhibit one after trying that it's one of the greatest thing you can see. tl;dr kuudere can't look deadpan because they aren't exhibiting emotion to begin with.
Or other words, her.

Dear gods... you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I don't even know where to start untangling your complete mess of terminology. I guess we'll have to go with the most blunt method:

AniDB's Kuudere Definition
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_anime_and_manga#K
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/クーデレ#.E9.96.A2.E9.80.A3.E3.83.BB.E6.B4.BE.E7.94.9F.E7.94.A8.E8.AA.9E
Having a cool/detached personality is nowhere near the same thing as being unable to express emotion or lacking emotions. That you think dere and moe are the same thing is another significant issue, but someone else can illustrate the problems with that misconception.
(^ These comment sections never stop to impress me. I was happy to notice a sudden rise on post count, but turned out they weren't about the show.)
...but about episode 3: It's perfect! There's a little bit of everything I like: Funny comedy, a sweet story, daily life with nice characters, beautiful scenery and of course relaxing music.
Hardly any Renge-chan this week, but looks like next week will be about her.

I want more of the Onii-chan action.
Pretty amusing anime so far. ep3 was a lot funnier than I expected.
hilarious thread :3
just watched the first 3 episodes and it's EXACTLY what i expected.
the thing i wonder the most is why whoever hates it picked it up in the first place - since it's tailor-made for it's audience - so maybe just figure out if you are that or not instead of nitpicking tropes that should be taken for granted and being all - haha - "offended"

Episode four commentary: HNNNNG
Delightful episode as usual, so far it's been the best of it's genre this year.
Forget KLK. This is the anime to save anime.
It's predictable. But cute as fuck either way
Episode 4 was gorgeous!
Ahh~, so much nostalgia.
The iyashi-kei-tag already became a favorite of mine.
I liked how the episode centered around Renge-chan and showed more of her personality.
Probably you guys now think different of Renge-chan.

That was really tear jerker. I couldn't stop feeling sad even though you can see it coming from the start really
ye total by the book cliché but great execution
This show surprised me a lot, I didn't expect it to be THIS good. It's not the best thing ever made, but it's certainly not as trashy as the posters on previous pages make it appear to be.
Also, am I the only one who feels a bit depressive about the whole setting? I mean, a bunch of girls separated from the rest of the community, having to find something to do by themselves instead of being able to enjoy the classic school life like the other kids. At the same time, they're seemingly enjoying it, so I have pretty mixed feelings about it so far.

Like other kids? There's nothing to be sad or depressed about, this is a kind of life, maybe more enjoyable than the "classic" school life is.

Nothing will top Azumanga in classic school-life slice-of-life randomness dramatic comedy. I certainly haven't heard of it if it's supposed to exist.
Certainly, some comes close to it, and this one has nicer outlook.
Though, sadly enough, manga sale for this is pretty pathetic, I hear. (Before anime came out, most never even knew this had manga counterpart? Lol. Same stunning visuals in series as anime in the manga, though, so I hear it's still quality work. Just doesn't have huge fan gathering.)
The point is that the anime really accentuates the supposed beautiful imagery, that isn't working so well in the manga.
At least, the anime seems to be a huge hit, and well-deserved.

After 6 episodes of this show I must say that there's nothing I can complain about! It's just a satisfying and feel-good watch!

I don't know where to point out where your misconception starts...
Compare Anya Alstreim with Chihaya Megumi with C.C..
One is deadpan, one is both deadpan and kuudere, and one is simply kuudere. Can you tell the difference?
Wait, are you conflating deadpan with emotionally stunted? The two are superficially similar, but not quite the same thing (they're a bit like yangire/yandere in that respect).
An emotionally stunted character doesn't react the right way due to literally being unable to, while a deadpan character doesn't react either because what's happening doesn't interest them or because they deliberately don't want to show a reaction.
Yeah, dead-eyes are just a visual characteristic. They can show up on anyone regardless of personality (see: Miriam).
