Meh, I could care less at this point. I'm not fond of it, but does that mean other people share my opinion?

At any rate, I'm buying one of these for my boyfriend when it comes out, what release date are we looking at?

[Arcadian Legend]

It's apparently $99.99. In US Dollars.

[LilyasAvalon]

So? That's about the normal price for a good quality largish anime statue.

By good quality, I mean something you didn't get off of eBay from China for $10.

[Arcadian Legend]

I didn't say anything. Just gave the pricing. Unless you weren't referring to me?

[Arcadian Legend]

Oops. I was in a bit of a rush at the time.

Thank you.

The Bishoujo line usually runs about 60 bucks. Unless the Liara's are gonna be a limited run...

That you can have boobs that size without cronic back pain or falling over constantly? :\\


That's the only thing I can kinda come up with. :/

A lot of people (myself included) just think mangafying non manga/anime franchises just makes the thing look dull and cheap.
But then again, so many people go nuts for that stuff, cest la vie.

The Japanese are their best. The boob size is laughable. boobs don't like like BIG watermelons. Stupids japs.

As much as i adore anime/manga, why do majority of the women have to have these gravity-defying, nipple-erected breasts???

In pretty much every manga I read, female characters have normal boobs. Now if you go look at american comic books, almost every female superheroes have huge boobs.

Arguably... it could be Japan feeling American audiences want their women with ridiculously large breasts. Kind of hard not to see why...

Huge ******, childish face and lame pose. Awful. Japanese and their fascination with prepubescent girls

The japanese are always a bit... I don't want to say racist, but they definitely assume things about foreigners at a much higher rate than other countries. As much as they touch the world and absorb other cultures, they really don't seem to want actual foreigners in the country. If you go to japan the staring can get pretty intense if you move away from the shops catering toward foreigners. (tourist areas)

In any case Bishoujo actually isn't very defined. Bishoujo at its most basic... Mmm how to describe it... Fanservice toward men. That's a pretty generic description, but its the truth. Bishoujo concept will take a girl (no older than 25, if older then they don't look it) then make her beautiful. Once again, a generic description, but that is bishoujo.

Hm. Well Bishoujo is fanservice focusing on beautiful girls, but it doesn't focus too much on "sexy", that would make it Echii. If this was an anime series, their would also be no guys. Bishoujo is all about the girl, men (and older women) will make few to no appearences.

... This is difficult to describe withou going in depth on japanese styles and genre's. Well in short the liara figure might be "bishoujo" but that doesn't say anything about its quality. I will have to grab some examples.

Actually you are only half right. Japan does put a lot of big breasted women in their media. However why they have a big breasted girl changes with what show you are in.

A large breasted women in rurouni kenshin has a different for being big breasted than a character in say... Saki. One is an anime set in fuedal japan and follows the adventures of a famous samurai, the other is a bishoujo anime based around the game Mahjong. One is serious, the other is about fanservice.

Big breasted women in japan, when not used for echii reasons is usually to represent "stamina, and strength." Remeber Tifa from FF7? That is why she had big breasts. It plays into her brawler character.

[ScepticMatt]

Still awful (IMO)

Are you sure you're not over analyzing things? I'm pretty sure for most men it's always just basically boiled down to "Durr, boobies! Duh, me likey! Moar bigger gud!".

At least that's the impression most men have given off to me in my 3+ decades on this planet.  .. I just don't see it being any more "complex" than that.

As unshocking as the racism in this thread is, Japan isn't the one who made a whole reality show centered around actual little girls dressing up in "sexy" outfits and parading around in front of a panel of judges.
This thread needs to grow up

[AdmiralCheez]

Seriously, next person who rips on Japan gets a paddlin'.
