Yuuki_Radosian Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 We all know the classic Tsundere archetype , the cute loveable character who gets so embarrassed at the slightest things that they lash out at the very one that they love. Some say that the Tsundere type is becoming overused and as a result loosing it's edge as well as viewer interest in both the character and the anime containing said Tsundere. eg: Louise [Zero no Tsukaima] Miss Flameheart [Ladies versus Butlers] Louise fits the archetype of a Tsundere perfectly as does miss Flameheart. While now days we do have a more modern Tsundere , those that do not quite fit the archetype but still manage to fall under the same type. Inami [Working!!] Inami manages to retain the major Tsundere trait of abuse towards the one she loves while staying clear of the classic archetype because of her "Man-Phobia". It is good to see that writers have come up with ways to not only renew old character types without making them boring and overused but also innovating character in character development so that future writers can further develop the Tsundere type into something more than just a cute girl who when embarrassed turns the one she loves into her punching bag. What are your thoughts on the Tsundere type ? Do you think it's overused and loosing it's edge , is it timeless and a classic piece that makes anime what it is or is it slowly evolving and becoming something new that may change how writers create their characters and stories in the future ?

Ryuji Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I absolutely adore Tsunderes. I tend to enjoy anime more if they have at least one tsundere. Here's what I think would be great: An anime where all the girls were best friends, liked the same guy and are all tsunderes and fight over him. I think it would make a great Romantic/Comedy.

SanguineTear Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I like tsunderes for the most part, but they do get a bit on my nerves at times. If they always vehemently deny they like someone it gets old after awhile. For me, unless they have occasional moments in which they show they care in a significant way, it just gets old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
