Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
October 3, 2013
The first group was a fresh infusion of low-serious series of so-called 'tsundere'. Tsundere – looks sharp characters hiding behind his fragile nature of rudeness. Typically, this is very basic female characters, although there are exceptions. They appeared as the most successful visual novels (Tohsaka Rin from Fate / Stay Night, Tohno Akiha from Tsukihime), and in the successful television series (Louise from Zero no Tsukaima, Ke from Clannad, Shana from Shakugan no Shana). In the non-serious dramas trying tsundere hide aggressive attitude to the protagonist his confusion caused by the growing affection. Her true feelings are seen almost immediately and the viewer clumsy attempts to hide their passion protagonist added extra points of attraction. The protagonist is usually a stop not to notice feelings of the girl and continues to believe that she disliked him. Type 'tsundere' very quickly came into vogue.
Two popular parody anime series (Lucky Star and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) already open in discussing this term and its features. A little later, series of rustic tsundere rolled down. The second and third seasons of Zero no Tsukaima failed. The same with the second season of Shakugan no Shana, and other TV shows where the main female role assigned tsundere. The reason? Inspired by the success that was achieved at the expense of innovation, the studio continued introduction of such typecasting.
But they are quickly become boring, the novelty has exhausted itself and in the end there was only empty bezynteresnogo shell character. The second unit is much more interesting. The second block was used as the main female character is rather complicated, complex female character. The main characters were strong women, defending their interests, and not by what power struggle, but through the use of the main male characters. This is Saber from Fate / Stay Night, Arcueid of Tsukihime, Shinku from Rozen Maiden, Holo from Spice and Wolf. CC from Code Geass. Roughly the same case with the male protagonists. School children, fainted at the sight of a human female, in the past. They were replaced by superstrong, capable and obscure people who are both women and everyone else wanted to spit. Yagami Light from Death Note, Lelouch of the Code Geass (indicative tsundere, by the way), Lavrens from Spice and Wolf. In the novels of a similar situation. Compare poorly bygone standards and standards of the new model. Take the same titles. Sunken characters about fifteen years. Successful spent more than five centuries. The failed refer to the protagonist as a hindrance. For the successful protagonist is an integral part of the plan. Sunken ignore the question of food. For successful heroines food is a kind of fetish. Tsundere very emotional, as opposed to heroines udavshihsya. Successful very comfortable with the death of their own and are ready to kill. It is clear that each 'model' the girls, as well as the main male character, is built on the basis of the plot and is calculated on a specific audience. But the studio still tsundere consider relevant to an adult audience, lose very large. Now in vogue old.
