We all know the classic beach and pool episode. Fun in the sun, swimsuits, watermelon, and a nice break in the plot for some nonsense. The characters never forget their beachballs and other inflatable floats, but it occurred to me it is extremely rare to see any characters actually inflating them. There is always the character struggling to set up the beach parasol, but I just find it odd you never see anyone blowing up their floats and pool toys. Someone must be doing it!

The only shows I can think of that actually show this are: Momokuri, A Bridge to the Starry Skies, Blend-S, The Morose Mononokean, Free FRFR! Shorts, Minami-Ke Okawari, Seitokai Yakuindomo, and Nijiiro Days.

With all of the beach episodes out there, I am surprised we don't see more of this. Can you think of any shows that show this in beach/pool eps? Or maybe there is a reason we don't see much of this. Kind of a weird topic, but with all of the beach episodes I have seen, it is interesting.

I also don't remember many shows that show characters flossing, or making their beds, or paying their bills, or doing their taxes... I wonder why. These would certainly make for quality entertainment.

Also them taking a shit. we need to hear their thoughts while thinking and going on about their life while taking a shit. I think that would produce masterful writing.

There is some beach ball inflating action in Mitsuboshi Colors, to scratch your itch, OP.

I think I remember a scene where a flat chest girl was struggling to inflate a ball and then a big boobs girl comes and inflates the ball because she has a big chest and the flat girl was jealous. So yeah, I want to see more ball inflation.

I think I remember Mikaze blowing up a floatie in Stratos 4. Not sure though, and I can't tell you what episode.

Also ran across something I think is from one of the SAO movies, where someone lets the air out of someone else's floatie. Kinda the opposite of what you're looking for though.

But yeah, I guess you're right, the floaties just sorta appear out of nowhere. I guess everyone thinks they're boring to blow up or something. Or everyone uses electric pumps because blowing things up by mouth is honestly kinda annoying. Either that or they just buy them from those seaside stores that leave a bunch of floaties pre-inflated on display.

From what I have seen it is generally the girl struggling and the man taking over followed by an awkward indirect kiss moment lol. But you are right, oddly enough I don't see many girls doing it.

There's a law in Japan where blowing up a balloon or inflatable object will make them have to raise the rating of that show.



Kidding, it's because it's a mundane everyday activity, and if the writers have to rely on having a beach episode they probably are incapable of making something like that fun or interesting.

Also, let's face it. To those in this conversation who are males, you're all basically thinking the same thing: "It's WAY hotter to see girls blowing up these things than boys." And to me, anime girls blowing inflatables up by mouth is the holy grail.

Still doesn't make up for the fact that there are people that like stuff like that. In fact, there's a character in Grenadier, Mikan Kurenai, whose entire occupation is doing stuff like that! Granted, very little of the inflating as shown, and she does it entirely by wrist-mounted pump, but I can assure you that it's still there! (Honestly would've been lovely if she did some of the blowing herself though.)

This is an easy one: lots of anime series use the same beach. The cast of the previous anime leave the floaties, balls and other stuff there for the cast of the next series.
There is also a nearby farm that breeds squid monsters should the cast be from a series where they are often attacked by monsters.
Of course, you'll always need shots of the girls swimsuits and the small number of blokes setting up all the parasols

I quite like this post and how quaint it is. Gave me a nice smile; keep it up OP.

Funny enough, I have an example that hasn't been mentioned too. Takagi-san has a scene of one of the supporting characters struggling to inflate a tube float

Have at it you delightfully strange individual.

Actually, the scenes that I prefer to see of that are girls inflating inflatables by mouth. To me, that's quite the on-turner.

Honestly, this inflatable fetish might just be too niche to be well-served by mainstream anime.

Perhaps try manga? Or doujin works in general.

This is very true.

Toilet scenes are rare though, probably because they're not very appealing. You can use them to go for a "mundane" feel, I guess...

Shower scenes, on the other hand, are an opportunity to show off hot bods, so they're a lot more popular.

Now that I think about more, I should correct my answer to only the shower. With phones, most people would probably be using those on the toilet (or reading the back of an air-freshener can if they forgot their phone).

There's nothing wrong with being turned on by that, but there is something silly about expecting this thread to deliver on pics of that very specific thing.

Anyway @Calal-Chan I dug up some more thanks to the internet.



That said I'm not sure how much we can get away with filling this thread with these pics. Might as well just head over to your favorite booru and search by tag.

But it's unrealistic to expect this thread to deliver, because scenes with this specific feature just happen to be so damn rare.

Ninja Nonsense/2x2=Shinobuden actually had a moment like this in the episode "Ninja, Getting Hot" It is brief, but it definitely IS there. Judging by the sounds made during the scene, and how unbelievably close Kaede is to the beach ball, (along with her mouth being covered) it's crystal clear that she's clearly blowing it up.
