[Discussion] Why do most animes have female characters big chested?

[Jazzy Stardust]

It's more appealing to the majority of consumers.

compare sakura and hinata your answer lies there

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

Fanservice is hardly respected or considered normal in the real world. In fact, pretty much anywhere other than a Naruto forum, anime is looked down on for a outdated trope such as that, feminism doesn't need to come into it.

It's bigotry :sdo2:

It's bigotry :sdo2:

So....my girlfriend looking over my shoulder as I have to try explain why Maka Albarn is being mocked for being flat-chested despite being a fantastic character is....A-okay yeah?

It's not bigotry to look at an outdated trope that exists only in this type of animation, that nearly the entire world finds odd and alienating. It's just outdated.

He's a traditionalist for sure and he's extreme with his opinion- but he's still got a point and knows the industry better than most.

Still, I don't think giving female characters larger breasts is much of a problem, unless it's always the focus, like in serious fights. But there is a certain genre for that and it's called ecchi, so you can sort of avoid them. You're making it much worse than it actually is.

Also, the reason why men are not as ripped as they were in the 80s is because boys don't find that cool anymore. Breasts are sexually appealing to males, and that's timeless, but what a cool guy is, changes with time. Ripped guys had nothing to do with sexuality as they were targeted for boys at the time.

*** sells in the entire world: porn, movies, music, etc, I don't know why you're acting like it's only in Anime.

Classifying it as outdated is in itself bigotry. :sdo2:

'The big 3' and the majority of mainstream anime have this problem. Nami, Robin, Tsunade (is ok) Hinata, every Bleach female- hell even high quality companies to the cheap stuff do it (KLK & TTGL)

I personally see it as a luxury yknow? to be treated with respect and be up to date with the times.

It's not about *** appeal, there's good examples as I listed, it's about pandering and representation.

I don't know why you're acting like it's only in Anime.

I'm really not. But anime is one of the areas where it's actually barely addressed or questioned.

Sexuality is such an interesting theme when done right and used smartly. Space Dandy: To highlight how much of a loser our chauvinistic and general dweeb our lead is. Bebop: Femme Fatale-style has a history of male paranoia from an old era Evangelion: Oedipus Complexes, sexual objectification, otaku culture, young confused sexuality- the works. There's no excuse, there's a clear difference haha

You sure like that word huh.

So, anything being filtered out or improved on I guess is bigotry then. Seems more like ignorance to me.

Then let us wait for a paradigm shift in anime, if it happens. :sdo:

Lets. Only good can come from it. Tweens/teens get a higher standard of animated serial that might even challenge them to think and more of a female audience may even jump on board. Seems win=win to me.

Naruto barely has that problem, heck I wouldn't even call it a problem in the way they use it. Most of Hinata's and Tsunade's screen-time have nothing to do with them being sexualized. I can't judge One Piece or Bleach though.


Pandering and representing is still a problem in every form of media, not just anime. It's really not out of date and I don't know what you mean by treat with respect, I don't see any misogyny or sexism in this stuff.

Also, people are always attacking anime for it while fapping to porn the next minute. It is being addressed, and unfairly too.

Most anime that use sexuality use it for humor, and sure you might not find it funny but others do.

Also, giving women larger breasts in anime really doesn't make it less intellectual or lower the quality, until they do it to the point where the audience feels uncomfortable or is distracted.

 

[Nick01]

Well in RL there are females with big chests, so why not? I mean not all female characters in a single Manga/Anime have big chests. If they did, then the question would need to be brought up.

 

[Agent Phrank]

Then let us wait for a paradigm shift in anime, if it happens. :sdo:

Tokyo Ghoul and seinen are in the forefront of it.

*** sells rather people like to admit it or not.

 

[BlazeRelease]

The same reason that the men are almost always "perfect" as well.

It's the mangaka putting their mental fantasies into their work, new liking big breasted, sexy women, and making men muscular and reckless and dumb but still always succeed, in other words, how a lot of men want to live life.

 

[TrollingSage]

Same reason porn stars have breast implants

 

[CornyRainbow]

It's some secret fantasy for Japanese men over there. I'm being honest but most of time when you have these animes/mangas with women with big boobs then you also get these same characters with extremely curvy bodies which Japanese women are NOT prone to have at all. I think it's a mixture of Japanese people being so closed up about *** with mixture of desiring to see bodies that a average Japanese person would not see from a Japanese woman. Now don't get me wrong Japanese women can have a busty chest and a curvy body because any woman can have any body type however 9/10s it's not going to be Beyonce Body type Japanese girls walking around.

The only time I'm disturbed by these female characters is when their character results into only being a *** object for the MC though. Like Fairy Tail for example... the plot is enjoyable but I just can't get into it like that because the manga is so EXTRA with saying "Hey! Our female characters hooooot" :/ A little sexualizing won't kill anyone when it's done RIGHT and by right I mean no random panty shots or anything like that. I mean classy and mature fan service which isn't too much.

 

[-Punk-]

This thread has me craving for boobs now ._.

 

[ROHAN]

Actually I don't mind it if those female characters aren't sexualiced 24/7. There are animes that, those kind of characters, are the main focus and when the plot is around boobs then shit goes down hill.

Maken-ki two is one of those cases that I literally had to drop it because it was too much for my brain to handle. Look at this review and read the bold part if you don't have much time.

Eat a hearty breakfast of tits men, for tonight we dine in hell!

If you think the Harem genre is stupid, then you clearly haven’t seen Maken-Ki Two. Whereas the first season was nothing more than a substandard harem, the sequel is without a doubt the most brain damaging harem show of the year, if not ever. This anime sets a whole new level of stupidity within the harem genre, sinking so low it reaches the deepest and darkest abyss, never witnessing a single beam of light. So mind-numbingly bad, it prevents any form intellectual thought. Even harem junkies take no hesitation in expressing their dislike towards this abomination.

Is there even a plot?

Yes, Yes. There is a plot. The plot is tits. In this episodic anime, every single episode always reaches an inevitable conclusion: a bonanza of tits. Every time the plot wavers away, the gravitational pull of tits corrects its path. And when the plot eventually takes a meaningful direction while having tits at the same time, more tits appear to drown us. Allow be to present some examples.

In one of the episodes, the protagonist wakes up and somehow manages to faceplant himself into a gigantic set of K cups. Later on, one of the characters buys a teddy bear. And what happens? The teddy bear is in fact alive and likes to indulge itself in the cleavages of humongous titties. In another episode, the girls are forced by their principle to limbo under a bar, and of course, all we see is them struggling to get their huge tits under the bar. These are only three scenes off the top of my head, but you can clearly see my message here; that any form of ‘plot’ revolves around tits one way or another.

From the very first episode, Maken-Ki wastes no time bombarding us with big, fat, juicy tits. From A cups to K cups (yep, K for King), Maken-Ki has no lack of tits. This is a true haven for connoisseurs of tits. But even though tits fill every corner of my screen 90% of the time, why haven’t I gotten an erection yet? The answer to that question underlies within the delivery of these scenes. Most of the time, these tits appear out of nowhere, never failing in making viewers confused. Yes, you will be sitting there in awe while repeatedly saying “lolwat?” and “dafuq?”

Apart from the relentless attempts to shove tits down our throats, there are other crucial problems within the plot, most noticeably its lack of any meaning or direction whatsoever. Furthermore, events never correlate. If one watched the first minutes of an episode, then skipped to the last, they’d think ‘twas from two different episodes. This brings us to another issue with the fanservice. There is no romanticism at all; just an endless string of implausible events, thus making the fanservice bland and repetitive. Clothes ripping off during fights? Obviously. Tits struggling to fit in bras? No lack. Randomly walking in on naked girls? More times than I’ve said the word “tits”.

As expected, the entire cast of characters are clodpoles whose hobbies include the tendency to indulge in foolish antics. Wielding a power which he hardly ever uses, the protagonist is perhaps the biggest tit out of them all. Character development is all but naught. Instead, there is a lot of breast development. We learn about the different cup sizes of everyone, as well as how firm their tits are.

The Opening is a generic J-pop song easily skipped. The ending, while also being generic, features a short track showing the girls in bras from smallest tits to biggest. Voice acting is mediocre at best. Despite being tagged with super power and action, there are very little of these scenes; instead, Maken-Ki relies on a time-tested formula. Tits. Huzzah! Indulge yourselves in a mouth-watering banquet of tits, which is what most people would be here to feast on. As quoted from one of the characters “Amazing! They’re larger than a meter! Truly an island paradise of breasts!!” Indeed, you will find tits of all assortments here. Tits from different camera angles. Tits. Soft, firm, big, small. Maken-Ki has it all. Nonetheless, these tits are neither fapable, nor sexually gratifying to watch. This is not only due to the unpassionate manner which they are presented, but also because they are never fully nude. In summary, Maken-Ki Two is the bastard child of hentai and ecchi, failing drastically in both genres.

If you like the luscious fruits of the female body, will you like Maken-Ki two? No. You might as well go watch some hentai. At least that is guaranteed to give you a boner. This only insults our intellect.

10/10 Brain Cancer material right there.

Well..The Japanese are actually dying out. While reading some stuff online, I came across a 'said' recent study that actually confirms that the sale of Adult diapers have surpassed the sale of Baby diapers over there.
I also read that to solve this, they are trying different methods such as sexualizing women in anime so as to make the younger generation interested in '***'. They can't reach most members of the older generation because the Japanese are supposedly super busy.
I would share the link..but I read that a while ago and it'll be troublesome to start searching for it.
