Hard to say, actually. I like both in certain cases. On some level I'd have to say yandere, but I have the feeling I would most certainly regret saying that later on in this topic.

As it tends to go, it appears that going for the tsundere is usually (understatement?) quite painful at first and even if you do manage to get their attention they're going to be wishy-washy and non-committal about it, like the whole 'Stupid Wiki, i-it's not like I'm editing you because I like you or anything...' thing. Of course, the real joy to that is seeing a typically aggressive girl blushing and trying to act cold and uncaring. There is a certain joy in that. Then again, that only comes from watching - if you were the person on the receiving end of that, how would that feel if that is all you're getting?

But regardless of that, favourite tsundere for me?


^ 'Wh..what? I made a few too many, so I thought I'd be nice and give you one! ...the shape doesn't carry any special meaning, got it?'

<s>Wh-why why don't I miss you a lot for-ever~?</s>

As for yandere...

Oh boy, this could be a weird one to try and justify...

While a tsundere would be hard to get at first, I suppose the advantage of the yandere is that you already have her at the start, and that she'd already be into you. In comparison to the tsundere, I suppose it can be said that it's not as much as a perilous journey to win them over. For that, part of me would go yandere.

On the other hand, God help you if something gets in her way. In fact, this is what makes me regret saying I would choose yandere over tsundere. The potential for baggage would be ridiculous. And while the girl in question is all cute and fluffy, what happens when she snaps?

That being said, my favourite yandere?



...yeah, go fuck a needle, Makoto.

So I'm going to take the easy way out - I like both in certain cases. While part of me would lean towards yandere, it's not by that much more.

I don't think Nanoha is a Yandere. A Mama Bear, yeah, but Yandere? Not really.

Personally, I'd go with either. I'd make sure to bolster the Yandere's confidence, though, so as to minimize the possibility of snapping and attempting to Murder the Hypotenuse.

I prefer a girl who isn't going to stab me in the back. I'd like a little warning.

Tsunderes. The only use I have for a yandere is to add a disturbing psychological element to a story.

And my two favorite tsundere characters



Kallen Kozuki and



Haruhi Suzumiya

What? You say you don't think that those two are tsunderes? Well f-EFF-k you!

Revy isn't yandere. She's a psychopath who likes to shoot people, not a psychopath who's obsessed with making a single man hers and hers alone even if it kills him. Different kinds of crazy, see.

As for Roberta, I think she has honest to God MPD.

Is that NANOHA in the bottom right? If so thats really damn funny. I love how the white devil meme has gone totally out of control =D
Imo only really really sick people would really like Yanderes. Murderous Psychosis doesnt make an attractive spouse. No matter who its directed at.

You make some very convincing points, what about the Twins then?

They're just plain fucked in the head. Simple as that.

Definitely yandere. Anyone who's read Mirai Nikki can attest

Tsundere is primary. Anyone who has spent much time around me knows this. My favorite tsundere is still Asuka, with Rin Tohsaka following right behind. If you need images to recognize those names, you fail at anime.

However, yandere is a no go for me. Most tsundere are merely violent, not murderous.

There is a third type of -dere, kuudere. Read here. Of those, I'd name Naoto Shirogane as my favorite. Also, reverse trap for bonus points. EDIT: Raven from ATT ties with Naoto in this category.

Wow, I took a look at your handle today and for the first time in the two or three years that I've been at this board, I realized that your handle says Lord geryon not Lord Greyon. Which sounded like a bad pun of Lord Crayon.

:p

You aren't interested in animated characters that have very little to do with real human traits? What are you doing watching anime ya creep?

Tsundere all the way.

Not only cuz I had a crush on Asuka when I was a kid and I saw Evangelion on tv, but also because I doubt I'd be able to stand a yandere being constantly around.

I have nothing against yandere, I even sometimes find it nice, but generally NEED around 5-7 hours without social contact a day to remain satisfied, which kind of bombs it for the clingy girl...


(Though on a separate note, I absolutely adore Sakura of FSN, who I believe Is yandere... so... Yeah.)

Honestly I don't mind either so I really can't vote on it.

But what irks me is when people say someone is clearly Yandere is Tsundere just from a few moments with being with the main character.

(Case in point: Bordeaux's Marriage Ending)

Bordeaux is quite insane and psychopathic and if you think I'm wrong, go watch any cut scene with her and Haseo in it.

And not only that - it just re-affirms the fact that German/Japanese anime chicks are crazy (I'm looking at you on this one Asuka)

Tsundere is plain annoying. I mean really. I don't want any mental abuse thank you.

Yandere. They're fine as long as you don't shatter the perfect little world they cooked up in thier heads.

Or this happens..
