What up with it? I dunno where MAL gets these things, but just something I've noticed is that most anime characters are light as fuck.

Shizuo from Durarara! is only 70kg even though he is strong as fuck..
Light Yagami from Death Note is 54kg.
Rukia Kuchiki from Bleach is.. I don't even.. 33kg?? WTF man?

Are people really that thin in Japan? I guess I'm an American fatass or something, 15 y.o. and 80kg..

Don't know. The japanese tend to be slim as fuck. So I think they draw the characters like them. They don't have any physical conditioning, I don't think they are used to workout.

American is the land of fat asses. Also height has alot to do with it.
I weigh 63 kg and I am 190 cm tall (135 pounds and 6'3") Thats like as skinny as you can go without having problems. I am like Kimihiro Watanuki from xxxholic skinny.

yes.

Asians in general tend to be a lot thinner.

I'm 171 and 69 kg, and my relative in south east asia thought I'm "big"

On an Asian BMI scale, I'm 2 kg away from being overweight and in danger of heart disease.

You're either wrong on the weight or overestimating the height, when I was 6'3 190 I looked like a stick, 135 lbs is beyond anorexic.

I'm 1,83 m and 65 kg, I guess it's not easy to weigh less with the same height since I don't really have any muscles and am really slim.
But considering the average body sizes from anime characters (at least what is listed here and on other sites) then 50 kg or less isn't that strange.

And 70kg for Shizuo could really be ok since he is pretty slim and so on. I don't know his height but if he is around 1,65-1,75 then 70kg is enough for his body weight including a huge amount of muscles

Lol no,she's not.She is just very small and short, I think she's about 148cm tall.
Some of my female friends are pretty short, and we're almost 19.Some could be mistaken for third graders.
Perhaps it has something to do with family gene and nutritional factors. ;p

I mean I weigh 48kg and I am 5'3'', which is a little light for my height.

It's anime;what're u expecting? When you look at them, they skinny as hell too.

All of it's for entertainment anyways. I don't bother with the weight unless we in Bakemonogatari. Height can be interesting sometimes.

0) Does it matter? Rukia is a spirit, and can probably run on water because she's light as a feather, and her temporary body doesn't have to be a proper body too.
1) Anime authors might not know what's the right weight. In fact, they might err on the "thin" side because they draw their characters thin.
2) Anime characters are attractive. Which means thin.
3) Japanese are said to be short. Short people are lighter.
