that's because nips are small, so their perceptions about human scale are also smaller
they have no idea how heavy actually large characters should be

it's funny how every time I look up a supposedly tall or big character in animo
they turn out to be something like 5'7" & 60kg in their character sheet.

Holo from Spice and Wolf is underweight by BMI standards, but she eats a ton. Maybe gods/goddesses have an infinite metabolism, or rather the form she takes has a predetermined weight no matter what she eats.

Japanese people are rather light (because they are also really short).
However I agree with you that they are too light.

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..


most characters in the show are young. also, Japanese people tend to be much slimmer compared to the people in the West

80kg at 15 is pretty bad, unless you're very tall or something... (but even then...)
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

Yeah, I find many of the anime character weights creepy.
There was one instance when I thought of L's height and weight and this also came to mind.

Creepy. Ugh. Noooo reality, you mess up with my head. My husbando is as adorbs as he could ever get lol

SnK character weights are leaning on the heavier side, though. And I understand, because muscle weighs more than fat. Krista is 4'9" and 42 kg; I'm 5'1" and 44 kg. But Annie is 5' and 54 kg; Levi is 5'3" and 65kg. O___o ok i'll just trust Isayama on this one he's into mma he must know what he's doing XD

Japanese people are TINY. If you go into the conbini store and look at the belts, they're all pretty short belts. Even the men's belts are small.
I'm also really tiny so I felt right at home. XD

Japan has healthier standards than most other countries do, as well as smaller portions. Asians additionally have lighter a build. I'll admit that most anime characters are sticks, but I find the female "proportions" more concerning than that of the males. Have you seen how absurd some of the girls in anime look proportion wise? They're worse than the men. Not a lot of anime chicks that weigh over fifty kilograms, let alone ones that have waists measuring larger than like, 60 cm, which is small even for an asian waist I'd say. My waist is about 25-26 inches at 5'7" or 5'8" or so and everyone calls me a damn stick, but regardless of what height a woman is in animated terms it seems like no official waistline ends up exceeding 60 cm, which is ridiculous in the case of most taller women. But then again, so are the bust and hip measurements as well. The whole ratio in anime is far more proportionally off for the females than the males.

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

Believe me, I know that feel. I needed a cosplay in XXL, feels bad, man. One size or maybe two was / were for my bust size and range alone. 😂

I have like 52 kg and I'm 1.56 tall, almost Light's weight lol. Many of these characters are so thin and / or small.

I am 75+ so it does feel unpleasant to me. However since I found out "Natsuki Subaru" from "Re:Zero" is 70, I am not as struck by it.

I had no idea this thread was still getting replies. In fact, I have no recollection of ever making this thread to begin with. I suppose eight years is a long time. It's been too long since I watched Bleach too, so I had to look up Toshirou to see who it even was.

Nothing wrong with liking chubby girls. I wonder if that's why I made this thread, hmm... can't remember.

Well, as far as I know Japan don't have much problem with obesity and anime characters most of the times are also drawn to be very slim. And those with stronger builds have mostly lean muscle mass. For example Shizuo, even though he has abnormal strength whatever his wight is, is VERY slim. Conor McGregor who's around 175cm can go as low as 66kg if necessary (though giving up mostly water weight).

For Light, his MAL page says his weight is 64.1kg, but is that his teenage or young adult weight? For a 17 year old it's plausible. I was about 6-7cm taller than him and about 70-75kg around that age, though not sickly slim. A classmate of mine was 190 high and around 68kg up until recently. He is still just about 85kg but visibly chubby (skinnyfat, but clothing no longer hides it) and we are no teens.

And as for Rukia, she is very small, slim, only about 15 years old and a girl. I have no problem thinking she is below 40kg. Small girls can really weigh next to nothing.

And as for contrast, Hisoka from HxH has about the same height and weight as I (he is 1cm taller and 2kg heavier).

How many pounds is 1kg? Too fludging lazy to go type in goog search.
My rule of thumb, double the number and add another 10% and it'll be about right. So 50kg is about 110lbs. For me the problem is height/distance. I can't do anything with feet and inches.
