Pretty much only FMA:B from what I remember.

Sexism sadly is still quite inherent in japanese culture and media. And most of shonen genre things can't help but display misogynist tendencies towards their female characters, relegating them to support

fmab. the setting makes in understandable that there arent many women in the military but all the women (few may they be) are all fucking badass. not to mention they show women doing what is typically considered a "man's job" like being an engineer or a bodyguard.

Arguably, having well-endowed females as well as not-well-endowed females is far more empowering than sexist.

Sexist would be imply that someone with big breasts is somehow "unfit" or "wrong" to exist.

FMA:B has body builds of all kinds but none of females are judged or objectified for their body, which negates the idea of sexist aspect of well endowed female figure.

If you're gonna reject an anime based on breast size what do you even expect people to say ?

Breast size IS an objective complaint though, as its a common sexist trope to objectify female body(groping for comedy, etc).

Its not an objective complain in the way the OP uses it though.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) is what you're looking for. I mean what's the best way to avoid sexism in a series? Yes that's right, write as few female characters as possible, write them properly. And that's what Togashi did in there.

OK, the only two I can consider is fmab and hunter x hunter. I will turn a blind eye to the big breasted characters in those shows. Happy now people. Everything else in those two anime meet my criteria as in gender balance so those get a pass.

No. I'm saying only attack on titan does that. Every other mangaka either female or male ccant resist giving their characters big breast. While attack on titan don't.

annie was naked for like 5 full episodes; that's way more fanservicy than any of those shows ever been
especially Kekkaishi which literally has no fan service, which you certainly wouldn't know, because you didn't made this thread to actually find out any shounen without big breasts, but to disagree with everyone

Yep that's exactly what I meant : the size of a character's breasts is not in itself something to complain about (rejecting an anime just because this woman's breasts are too big for your taste is nothing more than shaming).
It only becomes legitimate when the character is objectified (see Code Geass for eg. great gender balance and many women in position of power but so much service it gives you a headache).

Because everyone knows that only big breast can be groped for comedy. That's probably why I didn't laugh when Kirito groped Asuna's breast in SAO.

I expect them to say nothing. Because there is no other battle shounen anime out there that doesn't have big breast. Aot is the only one that doesn't have these melons size breasted characters.

You said 'big muscly hunk' not 'fit' and you said 'every' and while that was probably an exaggeration, it must mean you think the majority are.

None of the main characters from the anime in your links are like that, except for Natsu, Ichigo and some characters in their anime are just muscular, with very few being hunks. I don't even know why you linked the Naruto picture. It shows normal size people mostly.

So yeah the majority are not 'big muscly hunks'.

Oh good lord. It's obvious that OP is talking specifically about action battle shounens. Obviously SoL shows won't apply.

But using Death Note as a counter example is pretty silly.

But pointing out single characters who are outliers and don't fit the trend (especially when they have fantastically deformed cartoon bodies) doesn't help much. I'm sure there are one or two female characters in One Piece who don't have beach ball tits.

This is why I dislike males in shounen-actions. They are so half-assed fan service. It's teasing done wrong in my opinion (I hate using my imagination). Atleast with women-characters they are obviously seducing you.

Yeah because Light's a big muscly guy who beats up other big muscly guys. He's average size just like most shounen characters.
