Who are the best yandere characters in anime that we won’t mind if they kill us?
Dangerously in love. For those who are wondering what yandere's meaning is, that's the best way to describe it. In its most general sense, the anime term refers to people who appear very docile and gentle at first. Yet, when you find out what's beyond the surface level, yandere characters are freakishly insane. They become violent and abrasive when they get obsessed with infatuation. For many of these anime characters, their obsession is aimed at their love interest. For others, they are crazy in love about an idea or a notion.
Okay, one might say that their actions are driven by their love or passion. Sometimes, they are driven by past memories and experiences. Still, you cannot deny that these anime boys and girls are creepy. Imagine the lengths they go to prove their love. They can go as far as killing their friends, their family, or even worse, the person they are in love with. Well, maybe that what makes any series all the more exciting.
