Anime tiddies seem to be on average much bigger in modern shows compared to older shows. Even in old ecchi anime the boobie size on average is smaller compared to modern shows.

Is there a reason on the increase of the boob size in anime?

Large breasts ruined a lot of anime.

I hate the proportions of contemporary anime characters.

Sex sells. That is the hard truth. Always has, always will. Only naive people pretend not to notice and not to see it.
Anime studios know that it works.
It's just that Anime stopped trying to avoid it and fully embrace it instead.
Sex appeal is something that should not be frown upon but rather used in smart ways. Way back when they just tried not to use it (At least you would think that but many other series that are not "Your mainstream" have used it. A lot. Sexier, Much more alluring heroines have been created throughout the ages).
Just check the 80's-90's series. Pretty sure you can find a dozen of those characters as the least.
Nowadays is just more prominent and Studios know and are fully aware that visually appealing images creates more people watching your content.
Of course, they still only stay if the story is good, but the first impression is how powerful you imprint in their minds how hot/how captivating the girl's cleavage is. Psychology 101.

If we're talking One Piece, I got disappointed by the style change after the timeskip. Nami and Robin's images went from 'cute' and 'mature' respectively to.. whatever they were.

As for anime in general.. like what others said, guess they just found out what sells and kept going with it.

In old ecchi anime they couldn't afford curves so they had to keep simple character models and characters who could go off model for comedic effect, fast movements and general cutting corners to save money.

My buddy Freud told me it's because the audience never resolved the oral phase properly and tie booba to the gratification of breastfeeding as a child, so the bigger the breast, the bigger the pleasure. Waifu culture, then, dictates that the work should exploit the viewers fantasies for profit.

A bunch of bull, the New World Order has fooled you. It's because consistently drawing smaller or normal breasts that aren't totally flat or physics defying is harder and requires more attention to keep on model. Audiences expectations have changed: in the past, off-model was le funny, now it's always a flaw. When it's gigantic, no one will notice if it isn't the exact same size across frames. If it's flat, there's no way to get it wrong. Trust me, I'm an expert, this is the truth. It's definitely not the paragraph above.

I can't say anything about the state of anime boobage in general since it varies depending on what you're watching, and I barely know shit about anything pre-2000's. But I can say if a character already has tig ol bitties I don't think it's really necessary to make said bitties any tigger.

Yup, it's called "character development".

I wasn't just talking about One Piece but about anime in general. Though I can see that Nami got developed

Products that cannot sell enough on their own "play dirty" by pushing sexual implict and explicit content to lure more people in and increase the odds of selling products to consumers. its as simple as that. Back in the day, while ecchi did exist, it was much less forcused, as the anime industry back in the day tried to deliver stories with the intention of having marginal success in terms of revenue. These days, since the anime industry is much more foused on quantity over quality, the direction was completely shifted, thus, they attempt to lure you in with tits and asses. And it works, as there are alot of horny weebs/simps that throw all their savings on stuff just because it has females in them that have some focus on their feminine aspects, whether its anime, movies, streamers and so on.

I don't think it's just "sex sells" or more of a reliance on Ecchi, because even in the 90s, there were a lot of characters that were sexualized or wore skimpy outfits and so on, they just didn't have the extremely large breasts that some characters have nowadays.

But sex really sells? I can see why someone would buy a BD to see a uncensored nipple(wich is something very rare when you think about the anime industry), but I doubt having sex girls in a show would really convince someone to buy it(regardless if it's a cartoon or real life). Even if it does, it also convince some other people not to buy it because for them the sexualization damage that show. I would really love to see some statistics, but I doubt there's any.

Sales Growth. It's nothing new and nothing hard to think about. People jerk off to 2d characters, so it's logical it will sell better, what u expect? It's bussines after all.

nami's boobs reverted back a little
I think it's just a art style change, anime girls in the 80s didn't need big boobs because they were already sexy but these new girls need something new.
Rio is from the 90s but my point still stands, her boobs are big but not like Lucoa for example, Rio is very hot though

i'd also say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but that seems a little bit too refined of a quote to use when referring to steadily increasing busts and cake in anime and manga

You have live examples of this phenomenon in real life. There are women with silicone breasts both in and out of porn, that are even bigger than their head, yet so many people run around them with excitment and the claim that they are insanely hot and so on. There is a huge market for massive out of proportion breasts, its not a niche fetish.
