Anime terms you may not know

Tsundere

Tsundere is a change in one's attitude to being rude, indifferent, cold at first, slowly showing a warm or good side. This phrase is derived from tsun-tsun which means indifference and dere-dere which means love. 

Therefore, people who like a Tsundere, often feel that they are hated by Tsundere. But really, it's just that this Tsundere is too shy to show her love. 

Tsundere characters are often found in the romantic, comedy, and shoujo anime genres. However, other anime genres still have this type of Tsundere character.

Yandere

Yandere is a word based on Yanderu which means 'mental or emotional disorder' and Dere-dere which means 'drunk in love'. Therefore, Yandere characters are often mentally unstable or crazy, so they often use violence to vent their emotions. 

So while Yandere is indeed a kind, caring, and friendly person to someone, because of the feeling of love, too much loyalty can make it rude and overprotective for the couple. pair. 

In some more extreme cases, Yandere is willing to do anything to keep her partner from being approached by others, possibly in the form of violence, to kill people. 

Dandere

This is a compound phrase of 'Danmari' which means quiet, and the word 'dere-dere' which means 'drunk in love'. So Dandere is a quiet, shy person and doesn't behave much, but they still show their emotions even if they are very little.

Kuudere

Kuudere is quite similar to Dandere but is based on coldness and ignorance. This is a compound word of 'Kuuru' which means cool and dere-dere which means 'drunk in love'. 

This kuudere is a person with a cold, apathetic or apathetic nature, but later when in love, it turns to feelings of warmth, kindness, and displays a sweet aura.
