Hi! I'm looking for an anime with a cool tsundere male just like in Fruit Basket, Kaze No Stigma, Samurai Deeper Kyo, and Ghost Hunt. Any genre will do just no yaoi or BL pls.

Comedy is a plus. I've seen a lot of animes so I probably would've seen it if your recommendation is a popular one but then again maybe I heard of it but didn't think it was good so tell me anyway hehe. The more obscure the anime is, the better I think!

I can't generate a long list sorry, but I really want someone to blow me away. Truth is it's getting harder and harder for me to get hooked in an anime unless of course there's a tsundere in it.

Thanks in advance!!

There are the obvious recommendations like La Corda d'Oro, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, Library War, Special A, Angelique, Princess Tutu, Pretear and Kamichama Karin.
This might be a stretch but the main characters of Happiness! and Rozen Maiden could be considered tsunderes as well as Syuske from Myself;Yourself.
Angelic Layer and Neo Angelique could also fit.

Kotohono · 2010-01-24, 02:28

Maybe Sora no Manimani - Lead male seemed tsundere to me.

SeijiSensei · 2010-01-24, 11:00

You're looking for Chiaki Shinichi in Nodame Cantabile. "Hachimaki" from Planetes is another solid candidate.

Guardian Enzo · 2010-01-24, 12:18

Seikon no Blacksmith, to some extent.

Sackett · 2010-01-24, 13:07

Not sure of your definition of "tsundere male", but I tend to be pretty strict about applying that term to a male character, as I see a big difference between "tsuntsun" and just being a jerk.

The closest to a male tsundere that I can think of off the top of my head would be Kyon from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

synaesthetic · 2010-01-24, 13:41

Tieria Erde from Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Total tsundere especially over Lockon.

Ho Yay ahoy!

Van-kun · 2010-01-24, 21:19

tsundere? i really don't know its definition but based on the example you've given..

i made a conclusion in my mind that tsundere males are characters which are powerful in the story (eg. Kaze no Stigma (Kazuma is powerful), Ghost Hunt (Kazuya has extreme self confidence and others respect him)..

sorry if i put my definitions wrong but if i'm right i would suggest..

Chrno Crusade
Itazura na Kiss
Asu no Yoichi
Rental Magica

eto.. umhh.. one of my problems are forgetting all the animes that i've watched when i'm trying to recall them.. (i hate that part of my self)

Sackett · 2010-01-24, 23:10

Ehh...? Sagara Sousuke (Full Metal Panic) is not tsundere, now Kaname Chidori definitely is, but Sousuke is not.

Azuma Denton · 2010-01-25, 05:26

Nodame Cantabile
Special A

Van-kun · 2010-01-25, 23:34

aw!!! my mistake i've forgot to read the next word..

MALE..

zzz... kinda sleepy at that time my bad..

Scorch · 2010-01-26, 00:57

Hetalia Axis Powers has several males that are tsunderes. I'm surprised nobody mentioned it yet.

Full Metal Coast · 2010-01-26, 22:11

would have to say
Special A
Itazura Na Kiss
The Sacred Blacksmith
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

I'll second it, but I think that's one people would debate him being a tsundere or not(mainly due to lack of said 'dere').

Well... there is the remote island episode, and the final (chronological order), and the Sighs arc was pretty tsundere, (heavy on the tsun though).

Most of the dere occurs in The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya. (upcoming movie).

velvet nightmare · 2010-01-27, 13:35

i've read that lelouche in code geass is a male tsundere (to the limitations of romance in that series)

Chiibi · 2010-01-27, 14:05

FULL MOON WO SAGASHITE!!

Takuto Kira is.......the THE POSTER BOY for tsundere males.

It's all because of him that I'm the hopeless tsundere fangirl I am today. He has absolutely every single tsundere trait in the Tsundere BIBLE....he could have written it himself. XD

Extremely Cool? Check
Could Kick Everyone's Ass? Check
Short Temper? Check
Foul-mouth? Check
Mile-wide Jealousy Streak? Check
Violent to Inanimate Objects? Check
Pride Higher Than Heaven? Check
Secret Crush on the Female Protagonist? Check
Blushes At The Drop of a Hat? Check
Tries to Act Jerkish and Completely Fails At It? Check
Lame Excuses For The "I-totally-didn't-do-it-for-YOU" Scenario? Check
Is Seriously Nothing More Than Just a HUGE Softie Inside? CHECK.

Trust me. They don't come more tsundere than this.

Full Metal Coast · 2010-01-28, 21:54
