Tsundere Twins

louise-vs-shana.jpg

This pair of irascible schoolgirls, Shana and Louise, rather highlights the odd convergence of the genre lately, with character designs and foibles similar across the three, to say nothing of voice talent

There still seems to be much left in these franchises, so doubtless we can expect more?

    It's the one on the left, just that she is called Shana for some unknown reason. (Shana looks a whole different from those two, louise and taiga that is.)

    Correction. They are BOTH Taiga recolors. Just that the left one was poorly made, for deceiving me up to 3 minutes.

    Good enough for a guy who differentiate animecharacters by voice, like myself. But the lousie recolor really looks like the original. If it wasn't for the background...

    Erm reply to the sentence "Correction. They are BOTH Taiga recolors. Just that the left one was poorly made"

    Yes they are both Taiga recolours, but for the left one, they are really trying to put it as Shana.

    The uniform of the left one is from Shana.

    Differentiate chars by voice?

    Haha... All three voiced by Kugimiya Rie (sp?).

    Add Taiga and Nagi to that list.

    Because everyone's favourite Rie Kugimiya is a talentless hack and is incapable of playing any other sort of character personality, so the characters are designed around her, instead of her designing her act around the character.

    It just so happens that everyone's a fan of that tsundere moe and so somehow she's managed to score her insane popularity.

    Rie Kugimiya has had lots of other roles, but it's when she plays tsundere characters when people actually remember. she's like THE tsundere queen of voice talent.

    but ya, you can't really help that short loli moe tsundere characters are everywhere. I mean shit, i was playing some japanese wii pangya golf and low and behold, kooh was voiced by Kugimiya. she's everywhere...well not as much as Takehito Koyasu but still pretty close.

    To be fair, she's certainly good at playing tsundere characters, so she's not... Completely talentless. It's just that she's a one-trick pony. She's the Will Smith of the anime world.

    Yea Miharu was voiced by her too.
    -

    To say she's talentless is wrong, why not say she's just exceptionally talented in this aspect of voiceacting.

    I remember some other roles she took...

    from what I've seen...

    Mimi in Mnemosyne
    Kouta in Midori Days
    Hotaru in Gakuen Alice
    Karin and Nemu in Bleach
    Alphonse in Full Metal Alchemist

    ...
    And from what I've seen, these are not tsundere moe characters.

    In my opinion, it's the characters who are created tsundere. Then, when casting, the director chose Kugimiya Rie due to her popularity and good representation of the tsundere characteristic.

    Just to keep the correcting of this moron going by adding more characters Rie acted that didn't fall into the Taiga/Shana/Louise tsundere role.

    Rise from Persona 4
    Mimi from Mnemosyne
    Mizore from Rosario + Vampire
    Ralph from Glass Feet

    and so on and so on.

    Gee, it seems to me like she has plenty of other roles besides tsundere lolis. You just never noticed it was her and got caught up in the character.

    My God, could that be.... talent?

    Let's not forget precocious android loli Rizel, Eden Raid midget Tiriel from Erementar Gerad, 7yo loli miko Katsuragi Mikan from Rental Magica who also voiced as her elder MATURER sister in the same series...

    ...and smooth tender Waki fighter Marta Lualdi from Tales of Symphonia KOR <3

    No,let's not also forget her other unique role
    Potemayu = Nene
    Kemeko Deluxe = Misaki, god I love her horny voice, instant favourite
    Kagura imitating goku and heidi was also awesome.

    Well she did play Alphonse Elric like that one anon said so she's capable of doing other types of characters. But we need more than two different roles to tell how good of an actor she is. Saddly, we'll never know since shes been type casted for her past million roles.

    But I'll still agree that she's getting way more attention than she should for essentially playing the same character. Even the character designs are the same.

    Shana can JUST pass in the picture... at least it looks slightly alike the real Shana due to the school uniform... though ever so slightly. The hair is different. Shana has straight, very long hair. With the ahoge.

    Louise is just different. I think it's the hair AND the clothes.
