Big breasts ruining anime?

[Knowname]

*facepalm*

[hasteroth]

Another example of an anime (well at least I like it) that doesn't have a big breast problem (more the opposite... and not really a problem )

Sky Girls!

Sacrilege!! Eiken rocked because of the boobage!!

Of course, there's also that Sankaku article about how to draw breasts properly... [shudder]

You guys are venting about them big'uns way too seriously. You could do what a few others here have done...

Just stop watching anime since it's all 'degrading' into giant breasts aplenty...

Or are some of you internally 'hiding' the opinion that only losers with no girlfriends watch anime with giant boobs only and no plot?

At least, that's what your text is coming off as to me. [but it's just my opinion, nothing more]

Do we need 10 pages of 'we hate this'?
I should start a boob lover's thread...

This thread is discussing peoples opinions of whether or not giant titties are ruining anime. If you want a boob lovers thread, then make one?

Im with Vivaldi on this one. There are people out there who don't like enormous mounds of flesh shoved in their face everytime they watch anime, it can literally kill a potentially good anime for some people. Love Hina and Ai Yori Aoshi are good examples imo.

Shows that revolve entirely around chicks and boobies though, however, don't bug me because I tend to avoid them like the plague . There are obviously plenty of people who enjoy those kind of things, even though I can honestly say there are more than enough of those however...

Short Answer: Yes

Longwinded Explaination: Yes, because when people say that they are "an anime fan", people tend to immediately respond with "You mean those violent pornographic cartoons?". It has happened to me on three occasions (twice in best buy while searching the anime rack and once in hastings at the manga rack), and every time I try to explain that not all anime is huge boobs and gore, they roll their eyes and walk off. That's the problem with them. The few bad eggs are totally destroying anime's credibility as an art form as well as a pool for literary advancement. Then again, some people like the huge boob anime, so I can't fault them for that, but the "mainstream" anime shouldn't crowbar it in just for the sake of appealing to the few that do like the boobage. Chrono Crusade and Satella/Rossette is my favorite example of this. Seriously, an anime revolving around Catholic themes (that isn't hentai in nature >_>) should not have nuns OR rich diamond girls with huge knockers.

But what are ya going to do about it. If the anime companies think that huge boobies sell merchandise, then they're going to sell them.

And as a matter of face, huge boobies do sell lots of merchandise, so we might as well get used to it.

As a matter of fact, that has happened to me quite a bit. Whenever I say, "Yeah I like anime." Someone always replies with some crap about "Oh, so you like all that animated porn?" Quite annoying but hey, what should one do about it?

Option #1: Ignore & Walk Away
Option #2: Yell "F*** YOU! and Walk Away
Option #3: Flip Them The Bird, Yell F*** You! and Walk Away

If said person persists in irritating you and your interest in Japanese animated cartoons, yell RAPE as loud as you can and pray he/she gets a jail cell with somebody lovely.

Option #1 is usually mine. It actually really pisses me off. Everytime I pull out a copy of some manga (doesn't matter what) one of the guys near me says something like "Ew stop reading porn" or other BS like that.

Nod your head, say 'Yes, especially the stuff with 4 year olds' then whip out your dick and start jacking off to while reading the back of whatever anime DVD you were looking at. This won't change their opinion of you, but it's a fairly safe bet they'll at least go away and leave you alone.

I look at them like they are the dumbest person I have seen in my life and don't make a comment at all. And just stare. And stare. And stare. Until they go away or waffle. Maybe I'll look at them with a "god you're so stupid" smile and gently pat them on the back like they are in the special olympics or something.

Most people are looking for the angry or embarassed reaction anyway. Treat them like they are idiots without calling them one. You're only as dumb as people make you feel.

Unless you're a middle-aged guy cosplaying as Sailor Moon. You sir are everything we tell people anime isn't.
