This is a thread about Yandere and Tsundere anime/anime characters. If you don't know what either term means: ~Yandere is a Japanese term for a person who is initially very loving and gentle to someone before their devotion becomes destructive in nature, often through violence. The term is derived from the words yan, meaning a mental or emotional illness and dere, meaning to show affection. Yandere characters are mentally unstable, often using extreme violence as an outlet for their emotions. The usage of the character type has led to criticism over the amount of violence in works such as School Days and Higurashi When They Cry. Although the character type has been used in anime and manga since Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam in 1985, conscious use of the term only began to be around the turn of the millennium. A variant of the term, Yangire, originated in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS and is used to describe a character who is mentally ill and snaps instantly without showing affection for the victim of their outbursts. ~Tsundere is a Japanese character development process which describes a person who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing their warm side over time. The word is derived from the terms Tsun Tsun, meaning to turn away in disgust, and Dere Dere, meaning to become 'lovey dovey'. Originally found in Japanese bishÅjo games, the word is now part of the otaku moe phenomenon, reaching into other media such as maid cafes, anime, manga, novels, and even mass media. The term was made popular in the game Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Taken from wikipedia. Quick definition: Tsundere are the obnoxious girls that get very sweet when they like you. Yandere are the kind girls that will murder/kill/axe/slice when they think something's going to hurt their lover. Or if they're jealous.

Which do you prefer and what do you think you are ? Discuss plz :3 Double forum, double topic > Images of your favorite tsundere/yandere character will be appreciated
I guess Tsundere is still better, although they can be pretty annoying sometimes. Yandere girls, scares me.
