DereDere Animated Series

DereDere Animated Series

Project Overview

DereDere is a show meant to teach people about the different Dere tropes. It personifies each of the tropes and tries to make them more human so people will remember them and hopefully what each trope stands for. Not everyone is a Tsundere.


DereDere is not a plot-heavy show. There is no hidden lore or grand overarching plotlines. It’s a simple character-driven comedy. The animation isn’t anything extraordinary, but hopefully, the character designs will make up for that.


Important!!!

Despite the budget being set as "For Fun", Payment is actually 0.05 per word for each character! Payment is set to increase depending on series reception!

Emcy

Paid: 1 USD per word
Role assigned to: JoshBot

Age: 18

Voice: Teenage boy, neutral (more on the upbeat side)

Emcy is a kindhearted individual who has only one goal in mind: To make friends. Having been raised and taught by his single mom his whole life, he is very much in touch with his caring side. His one friend his whole life has been his next-door neighbor, Dere. All his info on the outside world came from her, so he has a very optimistic view of the world. He believes that if you’re kind, you can change even the most heartless of people. He’s no dunce either. He’s one of the smartest kids in the school. But book smart doesn’t always mean street smart. When it comes to most Social Cues, he’s pretty much lost. The keyword is  “most”.

  • (Enthusiastic)

    This is it! The start of my new life! Look out world! Here comes Emcy!

  • (Warm)

    So you must be Tsun! Dere’s told me a lot about you!

  • (Jokingly)

    Seriously? Who in their right mind wouldn’t realize that a girl was in love with them?

Emcy’s wonderful mom. She wants nothing more than for her son to get out into the real world and make some friends. However, due to her lung disease, he always stayed close to her. However, she took care of Emcy for 18 years. She’s more than capable of taking care of herself.

  • (Warm)

    I appreciate you worrying so much but trust me, I’ll be fine! Go out and play with her.

  • (Worried)

    Oh, dear. All girls? I hope you aren’t turning into one of those delinquents I’ve been hearing about.

Emcy’s neighbor and childhood friend. She’s a ball of sunshine and wants to illuminate the entire world. She’s completely determined to marry Emcy one day, and she isn’t afraid to let everyone know that. She entered High school her freshman year, so who better to show Emcy the ropes than her.

  • (Excited)

    No Way! Really?!  Mom’s letting you enroll!? *Squeal* God strike me down, this can’t be real!

  • (Proud)

    Everyone! This is Emcy! My future husband and the newest member of the art club!

  • (Knowledgable)

    Let me give you a quick rundown, Emmy! Music club! Drama Club! Literature Club! Stay away from this one. President’s weird.

Age: 18

Voice: Teenage girl, slightly higher-pitched, snarky

Tsun is a sweet-sounding girl who’s tough as nails. She could probably take anyone at the school in a fistfight. But one fight she would struggle with is the one where she has to express her true feelings. When the topic of her romantic interests comes up, she always becomes surprisingly violent, mainly towards Emcy. Who knows, maybe violence is just how she shows her true feelings.

  • (Slightly Annoyed)

    Emcy, huh? Nice to meet you. Actually, the name’s Getta. Get away from me.

  • (Flustered)

    Where the hell did you get that idea from!? Anyone who falls for you must be one dense broad!

  • (Snarky Anger)

    Oooooh, big talk coming from a pill junkie. I’d like to see how tough you are without that knife you carry around everywhere.

Age: 19

Voice: Teenage girl, respectful and reserved (on meds) Informal and expressive (Off meds)

Yan is an outcast, even amongst the outcasts. Up until High school, she had been an unruly maniac, doing as she pleased. She was eventually put on meds to control her, but it was too late. Her reputation as a freak had already been set in stone. While she can be very distant and shy while on her medication, she tends to be very clingy and wild when off of them.

  • (Reserved)

    I appreciate the sentiment, but it would be wise for you to avoid me.

  • (Lovey Dovey)

    Just imagine it. You. Me. And no other bimbos getting in our way. Doesn’t that sound like heaven!

  • (Angry)

    Who the hell are you calling a pill junkie, you overgrown pomeranian!?

Age:17 (18 in HimeDere Part 2)

Voice: Teenage girl, snobby, uptight and loud

Hime’s parents told her she was a princess and she took that to heart. She wants nothing more than to be the center of attention and she’ll do whatever it takes to achieve the spotlight. You’ll rarely find her alone as she’s usually accompanied by her lackeys, Baka and Daru. But does she want more cronies or actual friends?

  • (Smug)

    Yes Yes! I am amazing. You can start bowing now.

  • (Confident)

    Well obviously, you’re going to be coming with us. There’s no need to hang with those peasants anymore after I’ve graced you with the opportunity to worship me.

  • (Uneasy)

    I mean...we could try...doing… whatever you want to do.

Age: 18

Voice: Teenage girl, deep voice

Baka is an idiot with a big heart and a big stomach. She doesn’t use her brain to make decisions. She leaves choices like those up to the heart. That’s probably why she’s hanging out with Hime. That’s probably also why she’s failing her classes.

  • (Pleading)

    Oh, come on Daru! Don’t act like you don’t have fun with me and Hime! Tell you what! I’ll buy you an ice cream if you come with me.

  • (Desperate)

    But X isn’t a number! This doesn’t make any sense! Why is it even here!? 

  • (Excited)

    Dude! You’re actually the best! I love you sooooooo much! You should totally come over again sometime!

Age: 19

Voice: High Pitched Loli, monotone

Daru is Baka’s best friend. The only reason she hangs out with Hime is because Baka asks her to come along. If she didn’t, she’d probably be laying around at home or in a field somewhere. She doesn’t show enthusiasm for a lot of things so people often think she’s weird, but she just has her own way of enjoying life.

  • (Whiny)

    Do I have to? Ugh! You’re such a pain.

  • (Monotone)

    Keep it down. You’re ruining the moment. Just...be still.

  • (Snarky)

    You and Baka have a lot in common. Only difference is that you’re actually cute.

Age: 18

Voice: Older Teenage girl, drained, yet still trying to be positive

Shun is an accident-prone clutz whose life seems to just get worse and worse. Given the option to stay in or go out, she’d normally love to stay in. But something seems to have changed after meeting Emcy. Nowadays, she wants nothing more than to get his attention, and she won’t stop until she gets it.

  • (Whiny)

    Come on Kuu. Just let me have 5 more minutes…

  • (Determined)

    Alright, Kuu. We’ve managed to trace Emcy’s routes to school back to this 1 specific point. If we can get to him before he breaks off into one of the paths, I’m sure we can get his attention.

  • (Stuttering)

    Em-Em-Em-Em-I was uh-I mean I was looking for-I can explain- what I’m trying to say is-When you-it makes me-I just-*Screams with almost no sound escaping*

Age: 19

Voice: Teenage Girl, slightly lower-pitched, monotone

Kuu is Shun’s older sister. She is very cold towards everyone, yet it’s easy to tell who she likes and dislikes. It’s clear from the snarky way she talks and her life stories that she used to be a very expressive and outgoing individual. Yet she wants you to believe that she’s always been like this. Wonder why that is.

  • (All of Kuu’s lines are delivered in a monotone voice, no matter the situation)

    Wouldn’t it be easier to just wave and say hi?

  • (All of Kuu’s lines are delivered in a monotone voice, no matter the situation)

    You said five more minutes an hour ago. You need to get up or you’ll miss Emcy.

  • (All of Kuu’s lines are delivered in a monotone voice, no matter the situation)

    I’d honestly prefer to stay out of this. You make my sister happy. That’s all I really care about.

Looking for a Background Artist who will be able to adequately capture the style of the show. While the lead artist would be providing the sketches for scenery, it would be the Background Artist job to apply the correct lines and colors to the scene.
