| I'm saying this because Ichigo is 174 which is the perfect height someone should have in anime if you're a main character. Why would you even exist if you're below that? If those shorties are so short, why don't they just grow taller? (Yuuma from World Trigger doesn't count from obvious reasons). You may argue that I have Magi in favs but Aladdin is a kid, he grows taller after the timeskip till 167 at 15 years of age and of course we can expect him to be 174 at 18 unlike the other shorties who never grow.  |

| You just made Edward Elric really sad. :( |

| i think it's better for the main characters in action media to be hilariously small. it's always more fun to watch a little guy get thrown around and beat people up. |
Catalano said: Ichigo is 174 Oh I thought he was 180... damn he is slightly shorter than me. It is good for them to have an average heigth, but for each country it is different. Still wouldn't mind to have mcs above 175cm. Just checked for average heigth and damn, didn't know that Poland is 15th [from 11th to 20th they share 180cm] -> https://www.worlddata.info/average-bodyheight.php no idea how accurate it is. People making fun of characters being big at age of 15, meanwhile me and alot of my buddies we've reached our final heigth at around 14-15 as that's when I hit 180 and stopped growing up as some of anime characters would do too x) |
| Too short. Anyone bellow Hodor height shouldn't be a protagonist. |

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.  |
 |
| Ichigo is only 174? Jajajajajjajaja I didn't know Hobbitesses were a thing in Bleach. |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |

I guarantee you this guy dies of heart failure due to steroid abuse probably before even a fat greaseball desk jockey that eats nothing but Doritos and mountain dew. There is a good reason most pro wrestlers and linebackers die young. If you want a perfectly fit male body you should probably be depicting a short, wirey marathon runner, not a beefcake. |
| yeah inferior genes should be eradicated, fuck them shorties |
 |
| I'm an ignorant American so I struggle to think in centimeters. But in terms I can understand, I don't see anything wrong with protagonists being under 5'8", especially given that the Japanese average heights are less than Americans', and that a lot of characters are teenagers who haven't quite finished growing. |
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. Everything that connects to MAL |
| Not going to lie, this is an insanely stupid thread, because there's a lot of short protagonists and there are a lot of female protagonists too, some short some tall, so no. Protagonists can be whatever height the author makes them, height shouldn't dictate what you think about them. |
| Just an avid anime watcher of 18 years, not much else I could say about myself (that I don't want to reveal, of course, just ask if you wanna know more!) "So...look up, face forward, toward your chosen horizon and just...walk on." - Noah, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 |
| I think more main characters should be shorter, it'd be funny to see a protagonist beat the life out of someone who's much more taller than them |
  |
| I've never measured a character's hight. Beyond that, I struggle to imagine what 174 cm looks like. I can imagine 1 cm, but 174 of anything is overwhelming be it inches or train cars. It's simply "a lot." |

|
| Even if I like some male characters being taller than me -I'm considered short 5'7 by half of the world lol-, male characters being tall are a bit overrated. Even some short male characters like Araragi are quite popular so it isn't true short characters are not popular/looked down. |

| Most definitely... Both my waifu Maki and hizuru are around 175 cm.. Being women their footwear also have a higher heels than males shoes.. |
 |
| I have never cared for the height of the protagonist. It is rather quite rare to have a female protagonist who is 174 centimeters tall. |

| So you're saying anyone lower than 5' 7" (that 174 cm in feet) should not be a protag? The normal height for a male protag is 165-173 cm (or in feet 5' 4" to 5' 6"). But It is your perference for the above normal height. Well for me as long the pro tag looks logcial notable than the sides (and maybe the villan if needed) height does not matter to me. |

| Either being lower than 1.6m, or taller than 180cm. Else, you only looks like alien to me. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| I regularly find and read tons of great shoujo with interesting MCs, and I really really like Yuugi Mutou and his Yami counterpart, so obviously I disagree. |
