Bring out the Yandere's!!

[Godly_senselessness]

Hi,Please suggest anime with timid girls who end up cruel and psychotic later on.I have seen higurashi,school days btw.The girl should either be the lead or the leads love interest or at least play a vital role in the cast.

[ArianaChaz]

I don't know of any anime like that, but if you don't mind reading instead of watching, the Future Diary (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=8568) manga may have what you're looking for.

[Qilin]

I definitely second Future Diary.

Also, I haven't seen it myself, but I hear that Shuffle! also has a character of that sort.

[Proto]

Triple on Future diary. I'd say that the yandere over there is pretty much the dictionary definition of what a yandere does. :heh:

[deathreape98]

If you don't mind playing an 18+ Visual Novel, the Heavens Feel arc of Fate/Stay Night has this.

[synaesthetic]

nthing Mirai Nikki.

Can't believe the Elfen Lied manga hasn't been mentioned, either. The anime is pretty but inexplicable (the plot is suspiciously missing).

Manga has a lot more plot, plus more yandere-ness.

[Isekaijin]

Watch Shuffle!

I think there are some Yandere moments in Nanoha, but I'm not sure.

By the way, there are some CD dramas in youtube about yanderes... Creepy but DO WANT

[Jetbent]

School Days is the obvious one that comes to mind for me.

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

So I started to look at that Future Diary... I want to see that animated. It would be creepy as all hell.

[Jetbent]

Hmmm... nice signature.

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Ya, have had it and the avatar since forever, Horo is winner... and I'm too lazy to change it.

Mmm... I thought I was original with my signature :) (sorta) oh well. I love Spice & Wolf... just putting it out there. Not really a Yandere relevance there.

On another note, are there any Yandere characters that aren't completely psychotic? Meaning, likable ones or ones that don't commit horrible atrocities?

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Isn't that the whole point? Sweet outside, Ax Crazy inside. Less then that it's just jealousy.

[Anju-chan]

On another note, are there any Yandere characters that aren't completely psychotic? Meaning, likable ones or ones that don't commit horrible atrocities?

I don't think that's exactly possible, since Yanderes are supposed to be sweet and timid and then just go....off. It's kind of a rule that they have to do something, or else they don't fit the qualities of a yandere. They can be sweet amd timid and have a horrible past, but it's not yandere unless they commit some kind of...bad...act or have a mental breakdown of some sort.

On another note, my suggestions are: Umineko, Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~, deadman Wonderland, Pandora Hearts, Hetalia (has atleast one that I can think of), Shigofumi, Sola, Yandere Kanojo, Gintama, Mai-Hime, and X/1999 (I'm not completely sure if that fits, but it's been a while since I've seen it).

I third Shuffle.

[Jetbent]

I see... Hmm. I think there's a Yandere in Kure-nai (manga version)... not really in the anime though.

Gasai Yuno from "Mirai Nikki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Diary)" (aka "Future Diary") is probably the best in the business. Then you have "School Days (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_Days_(visual_novel))", take your pick, results may vary depending on the medium you use.

For the lets say artificial yandere you have shows like: "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayonara,_Zetsubou-Sensei)", "Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higurashi_no_Naku_Koro_ni)", "Pandora Hearts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_Hearts)"

Lucy from "Elfen Lied (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elfen_Lied)", probably not, she's more the mindless killing machine; there's little emotion when she's killing people.

[Silverwyrm]

Just read future diary and Wow, She is really a piece of work.

Now I'm torn because I want more Yandere's but Ive already seen the best there is :(

[SilverSyko]

Now I'm torn because I want more Yandere's but Ive already seen the best there is :(

Ho ho trust me, there's much better yandere's than Yuno out there.



One of the best ones I've seen/heard is from a drama CD called Yandere no Onna no Ko. She was actually threatening to kill the one she was attracted to if he didn't obey her.

Search "yandere" on Youtube and watch the first result you get for a translated sample.

I think the lack of visuals adds to it very well, really turns up the creepy factor from these characters.

[Dr. Casey]

On another note, are there any Yandere characters that aren't completely psychotic? Meaning, likable ones or ones that don't commit horrible atrocities?

Yeah, that's something I've always wondered about. In order to be a tsundere or kuudere, you need a perfectly realistic set of personality traits that describes plenty of people in real life. To be a yandere, you need to be willing to carry out homicide. Quite a leap there.

I think Sakura from Da Capo might fit what you're looking for, though - she's not ax crazy, just very obsessive, dependent, and maybe a little unbalanced without being psychotic or homicidal.

[Godly_senselessness]

Future Diary is really good,i especially love the part in Ch 7 where,

Yuno lovingly looks at the axe while deciding to get rid of Tsubaki,lol that Yuki she's such a killer

[Mizuno]

Would Dokuro qualify? ;)

Great now I have 6 tabs of TV Tropes open, and no ending in sight. Great way to start a morning ;-).

[Spectacular_Insanity]

It's still ongoing, but I seriously suspect in 11eyes that Yuka is going to end up yandere. Just my personal prediction, though. It may not be true, but we'll see.
