This time I will say some things about Tsundere.
The 2nd GREW Explains
What is is Tsundere?
Tsundere comes from tsun tsun (turn your head in disgust) and dere dere (turn over lovey dovey).
What do they?
You can also say the char is moody. But this isn’t quite right. Because tsundere are most of the time in love with the main char but can’t say out it clearly. So they disguise it and talk bad about him as hard as they can to keep this secret. Sometimes a tsundere won’t even believe that she has fallen in love with an other char.
Characteristics:
- Not so honest with themself
- Shy about their true feelings
- Like to rage/destroy things to hide their feeling
- Are most of the time in love with someone
Tsundere are not always little in size. For example Louise (Zero no Tsukaima) is small and DFC (Delisous Flat Chest), but Tsukiumi (Sekirei) is a real woman with big chest. So the characteristic can go with both sides.
Some Characters Examples:
Tsukiumi from Sekirei
Louise from Zero no Tsukaima
Junko Hattori from Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou
Shana from Shakugan no Shana
Fumino Serizawa from Mayoi Neko Overrun!
In what kind of Anime types:
In most of the time you can see those tsundere in romantic-comedy Animes or Mangas. They become somehow normal these years and can be found everywhere now. They are a good source for comedy and to lighten the mood. Sometimes they used to change the mood because she ran away all of the sudden, for example. Something to make the story interesting.
How do I recognize Tsundere?
They get a red face, they turn there heads the the other side and hit or shout after the person who they love. Pretty much like this scene:
Extra Note:
Seiyuu Kugimiya, Rie is one of those typical tsundere voice actor. It’s a good sign that the char that she gives her voice is a tsundere. Most of her voice actor are tsundere.

well explained Grew sensei ;D
I don’t really like tsunderes,
it’s mostly because they are not so honest with themselves.
but in general Im fine with the tsundere characters voiced by Rie Kugimiya (louise *heart*)
Fumino is a heavy tsundere character she isn’t only tsundere, she seems to be totally crazy, too XD
