yeah, when i first watched kugimiya rie tsunderes, i thought it was cute and funny.
but these days a lot of tsundere roles get taken waaaay too far, and it's just annoying..
and plus there's hardly any of the original meaning in the archtype anymore. a girl seriously just has to be shy and blush around the dude she likes, while being out-going around others.. people just see the blush and they're like "that's adorable!".
but it is really annoying to see it in every single thing these days.. but then, it's not like there's anything amazing coming out these days anyways :\
i don't really see a problem with female leads.. I mean, Michiko (michiko to hatchin) was a pretty solid character. I wouldn't call her a tsundere or an "opposite" of tsundere.. with that I wouldn't call Mari (TM 8.0), and Saki (eden of the east) tsundere. they both seemed like solid characters too. I don't think there's a problem with female leads in shows, I just think there's a problem with new shows :\Originally Posted by MFauli
