According to the true meaning of tsundere, King Kong may be one-upping Rin in the transformation impact factor. Yet somehow, the masses find a dainty Japanese girl in a red and black seifuku much more appealing than a giant hairy ape.

• Let’s explore tsundere…

Tsundere is a combination of the two Japanese onomatopoeia, tsun-tsun and dere-dere. While the average Japanese person may not be familiar with the otaku slang “tsundere,” they should recognize these two strings of onomatopoeia.

• Tsun-tsun: Describes a state of irritability, cruelty, demanding, and indifference; i.e. “the cold shoulder.”
• Dere-dere: Describes a state of romantic affection, shyness, and general kawaiiraburabukanji; i.e., “Anou..Seiji-kun no koto ga…s-suki…desu…”

Just peachy, right? Well, now think tsun-tsun –> dere-dere. A transformation from hard to melty (that sounded less ecchi in my head).

• Who are tsundere?

Lately, some of the most popular tsundere are Suzumiya Haruhi and Rin Tohsaka, female characters presented as cold, ruthless, and selfish machines that eventually soften up. It all begins with the first pang of jealousy. Then the competition begins and the romantic self-denial cycle starts up. “Pshh, there is no way I like this loser, what are you talking about?!” In Fate/Stay Night, Rin really felt it after butting a few heads with Sakura and Saber over Shirou’s attention. Of course, her softness towards him will be denied a thousand times over until a certain point. And there we have a Fate/Stay Harem.

These are the most obvious tsundere candidates I can think of , but once I more thoroughly combed the Wikipedia definition, I found some interesting examples—not from anime. Princess Leia from Star Wars and King Kong. Leia was as much a tsundere as any anime character, for after ignoring Han Solo’s cheesy moves and boning her brother, she turns into a vat of love putty at the prospect of his life being endangered. King Kong, especially in the new movie, is first portrayed as a brainless, heartless animal that tears beautiful maidens from the jaws of society to poke around a little before tossing them to the bone pit. But by the time we’re at the empire state building, the guy in the seat next to me is bawling at the sight of Kong’s now-human, affectionate gaze set on his pretty girl-toy Sally.

There are also living, personal tsundere we interact with in each of our daily lives. Some have attempted relationships with these fickle people, craving the sweet dere-dere reward at the end of the treacherous tsun-tsun path of abuse. Whether this type of a relationship works or not, I don’t know.

• But why is it so popular?

why tsundere is so popular — guys vs. girls

When I heard the number of shows I’d have on my watch list this Spring, I nearly fainted. And every day, I discover more. I keep downloading the files, but I have only watched a few episodes. Where does this lead me? To a tentative blogging list for the new season.

Keeping up with the new season might seem nearly feasible if it weren’t for the fact that the Winter sseason never ended. Fate/Stay Night still stumbles on, as well as Karin. A few have ended and been left behind, but the load does not seem any lighter.

These are all the series I mean to watch, and hopefully blog. 新しいポストを楽しみにしててくださいね！（＾▽＾）V

Holy shit batman, that’s 11 freaking shows and I’m already behind like 3 episodes each. Hopefully some will be crossed out due to suckage to relieve me a little. Anymore you’d like to recommend?

[EDIT:] Based on popular comments, Air Gear and Disgaea have been eliminated from my even “peek at” list, and I have added Melancholy of Harui Suzumiya and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, which leads me to question whether I am making any progress here at all. Haha.

[EDIT:] Wait, I have made progress because I already had Suzumiya up there. Thanks, whisper. Hooray for brains.

• Poll of 2/2 Newing

I was searching for new poll ideas when this little debate sparked in the comments of one of my REC reviews between Chris, Wyk72, and I, after I made a stretch and related the couple to a loli-pedo pairing. Though the poll question doesn’t really involve REC itself, I thought it would be interesting to know. So. Lolicon and pedophilia? How do you feel? We are talking, full-blown, Lolita 12yr-40yr combination. If you think it is wrong or right, then, in what contexts? Do you believe it is just sick in general, that pedophiles are just misunderstood, that it is okay in anime and fantasy contexts but not real life, or what? I’m really interested to hear the responses. I know how abq from Lolitron would vote.

Here are some useful definitions to take a look at before you condemn or condone:

- Lolicon

- Pedophilia

• The Victorious Fate/Stay Maiden!

Rin steps behind the podium and sweeps a long, hard glance across the crowd before exclaiming, “VICTORY IZ MEIN!” Indeed, it is, and even with a 45%, I think it is safe to say that we are a Rin crowd. I’m happy with the fact that Sakura is dead third, but Saber should have done better in the runnings. :( I guess she wasn’t Rin enough.
