Anyone know any animes with romance between boy and girl where girl is dandere. COLD, WITHDRAWN, MYSTERIOUSE ETC... NOT TSUNDERE, NOT MOE, NOT SHY.

Ive seen the ones with tsundere, loli tsundere (bored of this), moe (typical big boobs, clumsy, but really nice etc..) and overly shy and dependant insecure etc...

so anyone know any with dandere for example like the sword woman from kanon, or sword woman from hystorys strongest diciple kenichi.

The onlyone i can think of at the moment is kimi kiss where one of the guys gets together with a dandere girl.

thanks :)


edit: also Kanzaki Kaori in To Aru Majutsu No Index fits the role too, but i want the main girl who the guy goes with to be kuudere. not some side girl like in most typical animes.

Angel Beats!, although there really isn't very much romance in this series, it is definitely present in the last episode.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood could fit as well, although again, there isn't very much romance through this series.

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai season 2 has had a storyline that I think would work, although she's more moe later on... I think she starts off as the kind of character you wanted, but has a "cute" side...

I'm not quite sure if Kara no Kyoukai is what you're looking for since, to be perfectly honest, I don't know how to define Shiki... But she's definitely quiet and cool.

This is one of the more difficult recommendations I had to answer for lol But my biggest selection is Neon Genesis Evangellion. Shinji, the male lead, has 2 girls (or 3) that have a crush on him and one of them is a kuudere and the other a dandere. Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu has a dandere (Yuki).

It's implied that Lain from Serial Experiments Lain loves Alice (yes this is a shoujo-ai relationship), but a romance series is pretty much the last thing you would call Lain, even if you have no idea what you would call it due to the ever-present strangeness in Lain

As I said, Kuuderes and danderes don't show much emotion and look detached from everything, but harbor emotions deep inside. It's hard to explain since you haven't seen any popular anime with a kuudere/dandere character in it.

Primula from Shuffle is in the kuudere club I am in, though, so try to think of characters like her.

so im guessing there are no romances where the male and the female are practically made for each other, in other words so obviouse that they go together (no other conflicts or anything from stopping them)

Ive seen many animes with them as side characters, like tabitha from zero no tsukaima, himegami from to aru, the sword women fromt hose animes i mentioned.

the only one i myself can think of is NINO from ARAKAWA UNDER THE BRIDGE.

But im looking for more. Anyone else got anymore? Not side characters, like main characters. Primula is another side character. Also yuki from haruhi.
Ikaros from thingy, forgot the name, ummm yeah.
thanks

remember, not side character, main character please !

Dandere is a shy character archtype, and a Kuudere is a cold cynical character archtype.

Itazura Na Kiss has a pretty cold kuudere guy as the male main, the girl is sort of a dandere at first.

Clannad/Clannad: After Story's female main is quite the dandere (i'm actually surprised you have air and kanon but not clannad. its like you went in reverse order of whats good)

Actually, Angel Beats! has a fairly dandere female as the love interest. Not the Haruhi-like leader of the rebels. She's there to throw you off. The Haruhi-like one is not the love interest.

The problem is that actually most kuudere/dandere heroines fit in the side girl part, hmm Darker than Black has a "romantic" development with a dandere character (Yin), this is most notable in the Gaiden OVA since they are

It's in your plan-to-watch, but just in case you didn't know... The last 4 episodes of Amagami SS (Ayatsuji Tsukasa's Arc) features a classic Kuudere girl. Initially she might seem like a yandere, but most of the time, she's rather disconnected yet crticial of others.

Haruhi has a huge dandere in it named Miku. Very timid girl.

Also, I found a club.. http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=9188

Romance is a major part of Kara no Kyoukai. And Shiki is obviously what you're looking for.

Bakemonogatari, i don't care what everyone says senjougahara is not by any means tsundere or yandere, it's a bit of all, and she's a great female lead. You can take my word for it, or forever stay in the darkness(they don't have cookies, i checked).
Closer.

So to put it in layman's terms, its a cold or distant person that has deep feelings for you that DOESN'T beat the shit out of you when she's pissed at you?

I'm asking because i need some clarification before me (or someone else) can recommend something you will enjoy

Love is definitely a theme in Chunibyo, despite the initial quirky atmosphere.

Takanaka Rikka is -very shy- about romance, loyal to her crush, and their relationship has a slow but steady build, despite people trying to push her to be more aggressive.

The show does a good job of making you realize how reserved she is in the real world, despite her brazen attitude in her own head. At one point, your like, "Holy crap she just grabbed his hand!", and it feels meaningful, despite however many hours of tentacle rape sister loli fetish hentai you have under your belt.

So I was looking for the same answer in 2017 - Decent ones I can think of now are
Darker than Black's Yin (the romance is more subtle),
Baccano's Chane (this actually is exactly what your looking for, but there are mutiple storylines in this one),
*Gosick's main couple,
Cross Game isnt really a kuudere she's actually a tomboy who is just really cool, but I love this anime so..

Witch Hunter Robin doesnt have romance exactly (maybe if you squint) but main lead is a very fleshed out kuudere if I remember correctly
Hachimitsu no clover- on of the couples there was this mature older woman, younger man relationship
that rurouni Kenshin ova that was kinda tragic - the female was mature and silent type
Shoujo Kakumei Utena - Anthy is defintely a quiet type - though its kinda not going to be satisfying if you go into this particular show with romance in mind (its a masterpiece tho)
Shengeki no kyogin - mikasa...
Love lab - that glasses girl - not sure if its in the anime, but deff in manga
Library Wars - Asako, but you have to watch the movie for her little scene of romance
Amagi Brilliant Park - I dunno if she fits, she's more like a serious, hardworking tsundere
*Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun - probably exactly what your looking for

Im using the kuudere/dandere type very lightly, and also on some older oriented series so I realize Im not using the terms properly

The reason I started looking at this was to find someone similar to Ai Haibara in detective Conan get a happy ending lol

I do think Otonashi acts as the Dandere..considering he's shy for a guy and Kanade as the Kuudere

Based on my knowledge and what other people have said (I didn’t check your list so skip over the ones you already watched):
+Angel beats
+Tonari no kaibutsu-kun
+Hentai prince and the stony cat

Maybe:
Plastic memories?
RElife?
Kind of a stretch, but Hibike euphonium?
Was there a Kundere in Nagi no Asukara?
Does kimi ni todoke fit the bill?

Past that, it’s only in arcs:
The yukika arc of Ore Monogatari is spectacular
Plenty of harems (tabitha from zero no tsukaima is excellent, monogatari series has some good arcs of those)
Art is dead, and we killed it.
