This week, the streamer confirmed that Leviathan is debuting on the platform and announced a release date: the new anime premieres on July 10.

Leviathan takes place in 1914 — a period when political tensions were high as World War I was just about to begin. In that setting, Aleksandar (voiced byAyumu Murase in the original Japanese) is a prince who is running away from his duties to ascend to the Austro-Hungarian throne, while Deryn (Natsumi Fujiwara) is a girl who took on the daring task of disguising herself as a boy in order to...

The tsundere character archetype is a popular way to design an anime character in any genre, from romance to action to slice-of-life. Tsunderes are one of the most prominent -dere types, with each -dere type describing how a certain anime character behaves around their friends and particularly around their love interests. While a kuudere is aloof and a dandere is timid, a tsundere is a hothead with a hidden sweet side under their tough exterior.

Tsunderes, more than the other archetypes, are about contrast and duality. They are not bullies or jerks at heart, even if they can be a little abrasive or rough at first. Such characters are actually pretty vulnerable, hiding their true feelings and only showing their affection when they feel safe enough. Falling in love with a tsundere means looking past their punkish side and enticing them to lower their prickly defenses to start a real relationship,...
