Their boobs move. Like…realistically move. As in, the way actual breasts would motion if a woman made that movement without an over the top exaggeration and the camera is framed in a way so that it’s clearly not supposed to be sexual the way most anime would stage it. The scenes in question are meant to be taken seriously so the animators and direction is take things seriously. Either it’s just a character walking down a hall or clapping her hands.
If this were any other action/adventure anime, the camera angle would’ve been something like this for Winry’s introduction:
This is weird, but what I find so sexy about Riza is, well… How she isn’t sexualized. Like, she isn’t a pure sex object in nonstop sexy outfits. She’s a beautiful military woman, and she dresses appropriately for the role. Along with that she’s NEVER used as the ‘sexy distraction’ trope that women often are used for. She has a good role, she’s a fighter, but also has a kind heart for her friends.
That and more are reasons Riza is my favorite female anime character, and FMAB is my favorite anime.
Well said my friend.
I think there was only one instance of jiggle physics and that was with lust but that was when they were trying to make a joke about havoc having a thing for boobs and the joke was more about havoc than lust having big breasts.
“You fell into my booby trap” (proceeds to paralyze Havoc afterwards)
What I also love is that their boobs are in equal proportion to every other body part. Like, yeah, a character might have bigger boobs, but she also had a big waist/hips/legs/etc to go with it, so the largeness doesn’t feel fake. Plus, they never draw attention to the sexual stuff, and the only exception was the joke with Havoc. And it was posed in a way that made it feel like less of a raunchy boob joke and more of a joke on Havoc and how his attraction to boobs is what led him to be deceived, which doesn’t leave female viewers uncomfortable, or feeling like their body is constantly the butt of a joke, like some other animes do
That’s a good point that I didn’t realize. All of characters in the show have equally proportioned bodies.
Ed’s muscles get larger as he gets older but never reaches John Cena level of jacked since he’s still under 6 feet tall. He’s always presented as ripped and not ‘bulky’ like Sig or Alex.
Riza is about the same height as adult Ed, but they have different body styles thus the word for her would be toned. She’s still lean but her muscles and body shape are the same aren’t ‘compact’.
Fmab follows the basic body designs for males and female characters and doesn’t exaggerate a specific feature to the point where it’s comedic. It makes it’s bed, and lies in it.
Every time I see a girl in just about any other action/adventure (shonen) anime I just think:
“is your back okay? You need a doctor? Hey Thomas! Call Lucy a chiropractor!”
or better yet:
“Good Lord! Get this man a sandwich!”
The only real exception to the whole body proportion thing is ALEX LOUIS ARMSTRONG
But his ridiculously bulky muscles are used largely as a comedic element, in which the overly toned nature of his body is commented on as the “freak of nature” kind of idea and definitely not presented as if that’s some kind of expectation for anyone else in the show.
#fma#whispers: its bc a woman made it
don’t fucking whisper it scream it from the rooftops: IT’S BC A WOMAN MADE IT.
My entire world has been shattered by the realization that Garfield is an entirely plausible warrior cats name. A gar is a fairly common species of fish, and the cats of course know what a field is.
This knowledge is a great burden.
An important detail that I feel shouldn’t be ignored: Garfield would only be the name of a warrior, elder, or medicine cat. Other ranks/ages have assigned suffixes, meaning Garfield would also, at some point, hold the names:
rajahni af-athuviel was born and raised in skyrim after her parents fled hammerfell during the great war. as the daughter of a prominent merchant, she spent her childhood traveling tamriel and its capitals. with a bosmer mother, a redguard father, and the staunch nordic traditions of her home in riften, she knows much of the world beyond the borders of the province.
rising in prominence and wealth, her family stood to gain much in their little corner of the city–at least, until they refused to allow maven black-briar to buy them out. following years of tension, rajahni’s parents were killed in the name of the dark brotherhood, while rajahni herself was stolen away and left in an abandoned prison at the edge of the rift–a last little dig from maven, as tarjal had cited not wanting his daughter to starve as his reasoning for refusal.
pleading to mara for respite, rajahni’s prayers were eventually answered, and she managed to escape her ill fate. desperate for vengeance, but knowing maven’s reach was vast, she headed north, taking a carriage from windhelm to solitude and doing small jobs for coin along the way.
now entrenched in the capital, left with nothing to her name, rajahni has but one goal in mind: regain her rightful place. if maven black-briar dies miserably and the entire black-briar family is routed out in disgrace, all the better.
Ooh, I know someone with an occupied uterus who would appreciate these! They’re actually really cute!
from now on the only gender is goth
this video has 10,000 notes on tumblr but 1,600 dislikes on youtube. C’mon people! if you love this concept show Celine some love because otherwise her marketing team will think this idea was a failure
Seriously, like this video. She’s got like 900 likes and over 2000 dislikes and the comments are fucked up. She deserves some love. And honestly, if it means I can find cute shorts that are longer than an inch below the crotch for my daughter, I’ll be ecstatic
This is a gender neutral fashion line for kids, and it’s honestly pretty awesome. It’s expensive (as celebrity fashion lines tend to be) but there’s a lot of grey, black, and soft yellow and patterns that I would wear myself tbh.
Wait, am I interpreting this right – the gender-neutral clothing line is FROM Celine Dion, not just using her in an ad?
2018: the year we all stop hating Celine Dion.
wait, people were hating celine dion!?
You’ve never been to Canada, clearly.
No seriously, go like the video, it’s got 5k DISLIKES at this point and that is ridiculous. (Don’t read the comments if you’re having a brain weasels day, it’s horrific.) Support gender-neutral lines of clothing even if you still don’t like Celine, mkay?
