Meaning of Term:
‘Tsundere’ describes a character (usually female) who runs 'hot and cold', constantly changing between being a strict, confrontational and uncaring person (tsuntsun: "aloof" or "cranky" in Japanese) and an affectionate and soft-hearted person (deredere: "lovestruck" in Japanese).
Personality:
There are two main types of ‘Tsundere’, depending on their personality:
Type “Tsun”: These ‘Tsundere’s are “tsuntsun” set as their default “exterior”, making them seem mean. This is the usually personality given to Tomboys or ‘bad’ boys in Anime/Manga. It takes something very special to trigger their hidden “deredere” side. The intensity of their crankiness can range from “Always angry at practically almost anything that I don’t agree to” to “This is stupid, I ain’t doing it”. When they are angered or embarrassed, they usually become vulgar (by shouting insults to the other person) or sometimes violent (by hitting the person with their hands, legs or with a “trademark” weapon of choice). However, when they help out someone that they are not close to, they would probably say something like "Don't get me wrong, I'm not doing this for you" and usually have their entire face covered with ferocious blushing, making them appear vulnerable in contrast to their usual strong-willed exterior.
Type “Dere”: These ‘Tsundere’s have “deredere” as their default “exterior”. This is the usually personality for soft spoken people that seem nice but have a mysterious hidden background in Anime/Manga. They are kind and soft-hearted, but just happen to have a secret violent side too. Usually, their temper is almost always triggered by someone else, usually by their love interest or by an idiot which serves as a comedic relief. As they have absolutely no clue on how to handle feelings of love and attraction, they are therefore sweet to everyone except the person they are interested in. Unwanted suitors might also trigger their violent side. Very often, the male love interest (referring to female “deredere”s) will be very frustrated as everybody else keeps telling him how sweet the ‘Tsundere’ is and wonders how it could possibly be the same girl.
Types of Pairings (need not be romantic ones):
In Mangas and Animes, ‘Tsundere’s are usually paired up with the patient type of people, since a normal person would be pissed off by the former’s cold attitude.
A more common pairing would be with the seemingly-stupid and stubborn type, as sparks (more from anger than romance) are more likely to fly, contributing greatly to the ‘Comedy’ sector.
On the other hand, there is also the masochist type, but they are extremely rare and used only for comedy relief.
What makes them attractive:
A Tsundere's attractiveness can come from either side: On one hand, she is an independent, strong-willed person, determined to do everything well. On the other, she has major “turn-on” points such as awkwardness with relationships (particularly, romance) or have tomboyish tendencies (refer to female ‘Tsundere’s), which she perceives as "weakness". Furthermore, they rarely just sit back, do nothing and act the ‘damsel in distress’ as that will make them lose their appeal. For Type “Tsun”, it's assumed that the person acts fierce to hide their good intentions or as a wall for preventing their weakness to be shown when dealing with romantic relationships. For Type “Dere”, her hidden “tsuntsun” side shows that they are not just some nice guy.
Subcategories:
‘Kuudere’ – Rather than having a violent side, ‘Kuudere’s have a stoic, cold personality with a hidden “deredere” side. The range of intensity for their “Kuu” side can be from an emotionless robotic-like isolator to just a quiet, soft spoken person.
‘Yandere’ (mostly females) – Under normal circumstances, a ‘Yandere’ would only show his/her “deredere” side. However, mess with their love life (e.g. break up, discovery of an affair, insulting their love interest heavily) and they will go on a rampage, where some can go as far as murder (?). More or less a loose nut-case when a love relationship goes wrong.

Surprisingly, this ‘girly’ boy exhibits a rather charming personality that what most shoujo-mangas refer to as ‘The prince on a white horse’ (or in this case “princess”), to the point that some of them fall in love with him.
IT’S A TRAP!!! I mean look! He looks so much like a girl to the point that the anime producers forgot! Even though they make sure that every episode mentions that he is a GUY!
This is quite obvious from the title, which suggests Harem and ALMOST-yuri themes…Labels: Anime and Manga Corner, Chapter 10

Seitokai no Ichizon is a slapstick comedy series situated at Hekiyou Academy’s Student Council. In Hekiyou Academy, the members of the Student Council are selected by what amounts to a popularity contest. Therefore, the Council mostly consists of attractive girls. However, there is another rule in place, where it states that the highest scorer of the school is allowed to enter the Student Council by using the blue-chip seat. Unfortunately, nobody who ever expect the valedictorian, Ken Sugisaki, to be a crazy ‘otaku’ of bishoujo games (H-games to be exact) who is in a constant delusion to make the four girls of the Student Council into his harem.
The first recognizable part of Seitokai no Ichizon is its extensive use of anime references. Ranging from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and K-ON! to Death Note and Jigoku Shoujo, listing ALL the references would be getting beyond impossible. It even competes with Lucky Star, another anime also famous for its use of anime references (Which makes Seitokai no Ichizon even more ridiculous as they made an anime reference towards Lucky Star). Non-otakus tend to get lost half-way through the story due to these references (even I tend to get lost, so no matter), but it is a good laugh to serious anime lovers.
The second thing about this anime is that it gathers most of the different types of personalities that usually show up in a Harem anime, but with an extra twist to it:
1. Sakurano Kurimu: President of the Student Council – Pettanko Main Protagonist, but also an adult-child who is an airhead compared to most OTHER Student Council Presidents (with a maturity level of a five-year old to match).
2. Akaba Chizuru: Secretary of the Student Council – Model-like Kuudere, who is unfortunately a sadist, a lolicon and a Yuri Fangirl, although she is able to hold up a more cutsy side, which drives around the note of ‘MOE’.
(sorry... just had to add this picture)
4. Shiina Mafuyu: Treasurer of the Student Council – Shy soft-spoken bishoujo, although she is a geek with a serious game addiction and a BIG Yaoi Fangirl, much to Ken’s displeasure (pairs Ken with a male in her BL delusions).
Oh, before I forget, I absolutely must point out something… The male uniform is a Rummage Sale Reject!Labels: Anime and Manga Corner, Chapter 8

Bloody Monday is a mystery story situated in modern Japan. A Russian spy is found murdered, with the only clue to the reasons for his death being a memory chip. Things become further complicated when Takagi Fujimura's father, a high ranking official within Third-I PSST (based on the Public Security Intelligence Agency), is falsely accused of murdering his superior when he obtains further information about a viral outbreak in Russia where thousands are killed, known as the Christmas Massacre, and the code name "Bloody Monday". In order to clear his father’s name, the brilliant 16 year old Third-I PSST recruit genius hacker Fujimaru, known as the "Falcon" publicly, decoded the chip left behind by the spy, discovering a video file documenting the Christmas Massacre and learning about “Bloody Monday”.Labels: Anime and Manga Corner, Chapter 7
Soul Eater is set in a Shinigami technical school, Shibusen, for meisters and weapon. The story revolves around 3 groups consisting of a weapon meister and a human weapon: Maka Albarn with Soul Eater, Black Star with Tsubaki, Death the Kid with Liz and Patti (although more focus is placed on the first pair). Trying to make their human weapons into a "Death Scythe" for Shinigami, they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch.
First of all, this anime is packed with comedy scenes that can come out at practically ANYTIME, making anyone forgetting the mood of the previous scene (touching sad scene, action-packed fighting scene etc.) due to its impracticality that will totally drive you crazy with insanity (we will touch on this again later…).
Second, the details of this newly-created world, released slowly at the different times of the story are easy to understand, something that is usually lacked in many other fantasy genre animes… The plot is also interesting even WITHOUT the comedy scenes (which will make it into another one of those boring shounen stories), and is mostly unpredictable.
Finally, let’s not forget the main attraction of the anime: Its Action-packed fighting scenes! Even though Laws of Physics cannot be applied in most action scenes (like they ever make sense anyway…), the fluid movement combined with anime’s nice art style makes each attack seemly performed beautifully.
Instead, we have them fight a Kishin (the BIG BOSS of an advanced evil human soul)!
3) They are insane with the kishin’s insanity wavelengths~Labels: Anime and Manga Corner, Chapter 6
