| I want to know what are MAL users' thought of kuudere, so I made this thread. The thing that I dun quite understand is when I found out SOME people who hate characters that are bland, dull and boring, they actually refer to kuudere. I wonder if this also apply to you? I'm not a fan of Kuudere, but kuudere like Shiina Mashiro and Shiraishi Urara are my favourite <3   There are more kuudere that I know such as Homura Akemi, Mikasa Ackerman, Yuki Nagato, Kanade Tachibana, Ruri Gokou, Yukino Yukinoshita, Inori Yuzuriha, C.C. , Shiro (No Game No Life) ... I feel like I need to watch more anime to understand and know more about kuudere. I also want to know more about Hitagi Senjougahara >< (havent watched Bakemonogatari).  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Main Question: What do you think of kuudere?

XD An anime/manga slang term for a character that is cold, blunt, cynical, and pretty much doesn't care if her beloved dies. That's what she is on the outside but she is actually caring and nice on the inside. Differs from tsundere since tsundere is when the character frequently runs hot and cold between tsun and dere. Kuudere is when the character only occasionally shows her caring side. C.C. - The kuudere of Code Geass Source: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Kuudere |

| Watched 2 episodes of "Shinmai Maou no Testament" & I think, Yuki's a Kuudere. If she's a Kuudere, then sure, I like her. Sorry OP, I don't have any valuable info for ya :P |
DoctorSexy said: im not sure if this counts i would say yami from to love ru Yami is a Mayadere. OT : I don't mind kuuderes. At least they aren't obnoxious. Masum_Beast said: DoctorSexy said: Nah, she's a Tsundere (Has some bits of Kuudere feelings attached to her).im not sure if this counts i would say yami from to love ru She isn't a tsundere. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
DoctorSexy said: Nah, she's a Tsundere (Has some bits of Kuudere feelings attached to her).im not sure if this counts i would say yami from to love ru |
| Kuuderes are fine... I don't really dislike or like that character archetype. Is Rei Ayanami a kuudere? haha! |

Masum_Beast said: Nah, she's a Tsundere (Has some bits of Kuudere feelings attached to her). She isn't a tsundere. So, is this the correct definition for Mayadere? "The Mayadere (まやデレ) type refers to a character who is often a dangerous antagonist of a series, but switches sides after falling in love with another character. The character may remain deadly and unpredictable for the protagonist or other main character in the Anime or Manga." If so, then I agree with ya :D |
CapitalistGod said: Is Rei Ayanami a kuudere? haha! I heard she's one of the most popular kuudere characters. So, yes. |

| I do indeed like kuuderes, because they dont have enough of a personality to annoy me. And i mean that in a good way. I dont understand people obession with tsunderes. How can you like someone who acts like your the worst thing on the planet and will get violent towards you at the drop of a hat. Do some people feel that is an attractive trait? They are basically bi polar. |
Nagirah said: *sees title* Mashiro that bastard, how dare she get in the best girl's way? Comes out of nowhere and steals her man, how rude. Personally kuuderes are like any other dere trope to me. Since they are a trope they got a huge risk of becoming a bland copy of every other kuudere character out there thus making most of them pretty dislikeable or 'meh' to me. There are always exceptions though. haha sorry for putting Mashiro's name here XDD Lol, I think it's possible for her to be the first kuudere xD |

Nagirah said: *sees title* Mashiro that bastard, how dare she get in the best girl's way? Comes out of nowhere and steals her man, how rude. Exactly .How dare she beat best girl ? OT : I don't like Mashiiro .I don't remember any other kuuderes right now and I don't feel like doing that so you understand my disposition . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| What do you think of kuudere? It has Hitagi Senjougahara as an example, doesn't have to be bad. What do you like about kuudere? Hitagi Senjouhagara. What do you dislike about kuudere? Anyone not named Hitagi Senjougahara. Optional Question: What makes a good kuudere? If is like Gahara-san, it's 10/10. Rest depends of execution. Your favourite kuudere? Hmmm... Hitagi Senjougahara? Example of male kuudere? A genderbended Hitagi Senjougahara Ulquiorra Cifer may count, I think. |
 |
| Lol its just Autism in anime. Thats all |
| Shiraishi Urara is hands down, the best kuudere. In my opinion ;) |
 |

Main Question: What do you think of kuudere? What do you like about kuudere? What do you dislike about kuudere? Optional Question: What makes a good kuudere? Your favourite kuudere? Example of male kuudere? Love Kuudere. The way they occasionally show emotions. Maybe I dislike their lack of expressing their shyness, maybe. I can't think of anything else, even a favourite kuudere (Shiro from No game No life) |

While a good portion of her actions aren't of shyness but instead from a lack of interest in her surroundings (which is what I think may be getting misconstrued as the "cynicism/bluntness" of a Kuudere), her character later develops shyness with her feelings towards Sorata. It's somewhat an ambiguous case like Yuki Nagato I suppose, and there is also a problem with how the terms Kuudere and Dandere lack clear distinctions. Regardless good taste OP. |

I'm not interested in ordinary humans, but if any of you are aliens, time travellers or ESPers, please come see me!  |
| Stay away from Mashiron, we've been in a serious relationship for a long time. |
| They suck, are worthless and should not exist. |
  |
| kuuderes are the best <3 im searching for a romance with kuudere x mc without a harem or a love triangle but is really rare   |
 |
| What do I think of Kuuderes? Well Rei Ayanami is my like Waifu for Lifeu so that should answer that. Also Senjoughara is a competitor, a good one. Also I hope when you say you haven't watched Bakemonogatari, you don't think thats the only part of it because there's alot more Monogatari after that. Alot. |

How can you like someone who acts like your the worst thing on the planet and will get violent towards you at the drop of a hat. Do some people feel that is an attractive trait? They are basically bi polar. The appeal of the tsundere is that they are harsh at first, but it's usually for a reason. Over time, once you earn their trust, they'll show their warmer side :) Good examples are Taiga from Toradora and Inuyasha from Inuyasha. Unfortunately though, Anime is littered with bad tsunderes that I and many others do not like, so I do understand why it is you don't like em :/ On topic, I like kuuderes when done right, as in they have a reason to be that way, I guess. When done wrong, they can be kinda boring though, I guess. My favourite kuudere is Kanade Tachibana because I understood why she behaved the way she did, why she was generally cold to everyone. It made sense, and when she did start hanging out with everyone, she had fun :) |

I never thought of Mashiro as dandere bcoz she always wear a blank expression and speak in a dull manner xD. But now you said that, I'm pretty confused with those terms. I was wondering if it's possible for her to be both kuudere and dandere crashinho said: If that's the case, that makes you my son-in-law. >:DStay away from Mashiron, we've been in a serious relationship for a long time. joking chokingasuka said: Yup, I know there are alot, which is hard for me to watch everything DXAlso I hope when you say you haven't watched Bakemonogatari, you don't think thats the only part of it because there's alot more Monogatari after that.

| Oh god mashiro, just no........ how dare she steal the guy from her? Anyway OT-, I like them if it is someone like shiori from kaminomi |
RedTie said: Kuudere are alright but I prefer Yandere or Tsundere over them, to be honest. I just think they've been a little more enjoyable to watch so far. Side Note: Mashiro is cool and all but she wasn't best girl ^^ Do you feel salty ? Don't worry you can tell me ............... |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| Kuudere is my fav type among all of the dere's.. aannn~dd tachibana kanade is mah fav kuudere character. |
 |
| I love all the deres <3 as long as they confess :3 |
 |
| Mashiro isn't a kuudere, she's a deadpan denpa character. Kuuderes don't show emotion because of choice, yet Mashiro just doesn't know how to show it. Difference. She's basically autistic. |
 |
| What do you think of kuudere? - In general I'm not too fond of them since they tend to be quiet and boring characters. Your two examples are fine though because they are very funny :3 What do you like about kuudere? - The funny situations they can bring, like Shiina with her odd understanding of the world ^^ What do you dislike about kuudere? - Silence = boring What makes a good kuudere? - Funny personality, has to talk a bit more than your generic kuudere Your favourite kuudere? - Shiina Mashiro :3 Example of male kuudere? - I don't know, Levi? xD |
elkiltaro said: Kuuderes are probably my favorite "dere" because they're not putting on an act like most other "deres" do. They're cold and blunt (which can be very funny) and only open up once they become comfortable with someone. Homura from Madoka Magica, Flamie from Rokka, Rei from Evangelion, and Yuki from Haruhi are all great examples. As for a male, I would guess Levi from Attack and Titan and maybe Kuritsigu from Fate/Zero. I wouldn't say the other deres are putting on an "act", per se, they just have trouble expressing their emotions, usually due to past experiences and their upbringing in general. I see what you are trying to say though. Kuuderes are probably one of the deres we consider more "normal" than the rest. |
|
| I like them especially Yukimi Sajo. |

 Ahhh... Is this the blood... The blood of the Dark Soul? |
| I really like kuuderes more than most archetypes, and since I consider Gahara as being her own little archetype called "Tsundora", I'd say my favorite kuudere would be Yukino from Oregairu. I just love seeing kuuderes have their walls shattered, thereby getting to know their dere side. |

| So long as they have a reason for their deadpan attitude, then they can work. Shiina's reason is implied to be savant syndrome, and the anime wouldn't be the same if she wasn't a kuudere. I like her, at least. |
| Anime sucks. |
| Hmm I guess I do like those characters, especially when they have a good reason to behave like that. I find them to be nicer than other characters. |
