Line 3:
A particular style of drawing eyes in [[Anime]] where the outer corners point upward, ending in a distinct point, used in contrast to the traditional [[Moe Moe]] soft drooping style, [[Tareme Eyes|Tareme]]. Tsurime symbolizes strong will, arrogance, or pride in a character. Most noticeable in female designs (since it plays against [[Yamato Nadeshiko|the stereotype]]) and is commonly an attribute of [[Tsundere
Note that the "me" in "tsurime" actually means "eyes" in Japanese. [[Department of Redundancy Department|We just enjoy being redundant.]]
Line 56:
* [[Shakugan no Shana|Shana]]. Naturally, since she's the quintessential [[Tsundere]].
* Hideko Hasuki, Yurika's maid from ''[[Chocotto Sister]]'', has them.
* Iroha in ''[[Sumomomo Momomo]]''. Her tsurime distinguishes her as the most [[Badass]] of the series' [[Action Girl
* In ''[[Utawarerumono]]'', male characters, like Dorihouri, are drawn this way. Females, even [[Cute Bruiser
* Hinata from ''[[Kanamemo]]'' has these for some reason.
* Yakumo, Eri and Itoko from ''[[School Rumble]]''. Yakumo, however, does not have the behavior expected of someone with tsurime eyes, being essentially a [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]
Line 64:
** [[Devil in Plain Sight|Mayo Mitama]] also has these, because she's a sadist with the [[Face of a Thug]]... But she always gets away with what she does because no-one wants to be accused of judging her for her appearance.
** Miko Nedu, a girl who uses pyramid marketing to scam people, has Tsurime, too. In contrast, her partner-in-crime, Shouko Maruuchi, has [[Tareme Eyes]]. This is possibly because Miko sells serious overpriced wares, making her appear greedy, while Shouko sells underpriced wares, making her appear more generous... However, it's still a scam, and they will, without fail, trick their costumers into buying Miko's wares, too.
* ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' has a lot of characters with these eyes, but Alice and Elliot are notable for being [[Tsundere
* Yuuki from [[Game X Rush]], particularly noticeable in his childhood.
* Ruby, Green (the boy), and Platinum Berlitz from ''[[Pokémon Special]]''.
Line 88:
* Miki from ''[[Future GPX Cyber Formula]]'', in contrast to Asuka's [[Tareme Eyes]].
* Haru Miura from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]''.
* In ''[[Noir]]'' Kirika's eye shape is normally standard, but her eyes go [[media:
* A majority of ''[[Wandering Son]]'' characters have [[Tareme Eyes]], however Anna has Tsurime.
* [[Split Personality|Inner Moka]] from ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' sports these, as opposed to [[The Chick|Outer Moka]].
* Natsuki from ''[[Hime Chen! Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri]]'' when in her transformed 'adult' form. Her normal child form less so.
* [http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1592/vlcsnap2011111711h41m17.png Barnaby] from ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]''. [[Tomboy
* ''[[Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran]]'': Ran usually sports these. On the other hand, so did an [[Evil Matriarch]].
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Ban]] [[Tsundere|Mido]] of ''[[GetBackers]]'' has narrow Tsurime behind his purple shades, which provides a sharp contrast to his partner [[The Messiah|Ginji]]'s wide, cheerful [[Tareme]] and further emphasizes the differences between their personalities. When Ginji loses himself to his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]], his eyes become noticeably Tsurime.
Line 107:
* Captain Varrot of [[Valkyria Chronicles]] is animated like this and quite a few of the recruits, too.
* [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Characters|Laharl]]'s eyes from ''[[Disgaea]]'' are drawn like this, and he is indeed a [[Tsundere]].
** As are [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice|Mao]]'s, [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten|Valvatorez]]'s, and [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories|Rozalin]]'s. The fact that most of them are royal [[Tsundere
