FMAB does breasts right.

Their boobs move. Like…realistically move. As in, the way actual breasts would motion if a woman made that movement without an over the top exaggeration and the camera is framed in a way so that it’s clearly not supposed to be sexual the way most anime would stage it. The scenes in question are meant to be taken seriously so the animators and direction is take things seriously. Either it’s just a character walking down a hall or clapping her hands. 

If this were any other action/adventure anime, the camera angle would’ve been something like this for Winry’s introduction:

This is weird, but what I find so sexy about Riza is, well… How she isn’t sexualized. Like, she isn’t a pure sex object in nonstop sexy outfits. She’s a beautiful military woman, and she dresses appropriately for the role. Along with that she’s NEVER used as the ‘sexy distraction’ trope that women often are used for. She has a good role, she’s a fighter, but also has a kind heart for her friends.

That and more are reasons Riza is my favorite female anime character, and FMAB is my favorite anime.

Well said my friend.

I think there was only one instance of jiggle physics and that was with lust but that was when they were trying to make a joke about havoc having a thing for boobs and the joke was more about havoc than lust having big breasts.

“You fell into my booby trap” (proceeds to paralyze Havoc afterwards)

What I also love is that their boobs are in equal proportion to every other body part. Like, yeah, a character might have bigger boobs, but she also had a big waist/hips/legs/etc to go with it, so the largeness doesn’t feel fake. Plus, they never draw attention to the sexual stuff, and the only exception was the joke with Havoc. And it was posed in a way that made it feel like less of a raunchy boob joke and more of a joke on Havoc and how his attraction to boobs is what led him to be deceived, which doesn’t leave female viewers uncomfortable, or feeling like their body is constantly the butt of a joke, like some other animes do

That’s a good point that I didn’t realize. All of characters in the show have equally proportioned bodies. 

Ed’s muscles get larger as he gets older but never reaches John Cena level of jacked since he’s still under 6 feet tall. He’s always presented as ripped and not ‘bulky’ like Sig or Alex. 

Riza is about the same height as adult Ed, but they have different body styles thus the word for her would be toned. She’s still lean but her muscles and body shape are the same aren’t ‘compact’. 

Fmab follows the basic body designs for males and female characters and doesn’t exaggerate a specific feature to the point where it’s comedic. It makes it’s bed, and lies in it.  

Every time I see a girl in just about any other action/adventure (shonen) anime I just think:

“is your back okay? You need a doctor? Hey Thomas! Call Lucy a chiropractor!”

or better yet:

“Good Lord! Get this man a sandwich!”

The only real exception to the whole body proportion thing is ALEX LOUIS ARMSTRONG

But his ridiculously bulky muscles are used largely as a comedic element, in which the overly toned nature of his body is commented on as the “freak of nature” kind of idea and definitely not presented as if that’s some kind of expectation for anyone else in the show.

“Even though they’re a couple who can rarely see one another, ‘their feelings are connected’ - just as Sakura said. If you read the spin-off to the end, I think that you’ll understand the true meaning of those words - so I hope that you’ll read it from cover to cover and experience by yourself the connection between Sakura and Sasuke.”

Friendly reminder that Sakura mastered chakra control, mastered medical ninjutsu, became a jonin, surpassed a legendary sannin, a kage, the hokage and the strongest kunoichi in the world and was on par with Naruto and Sasuke before their last power ups, all before she became an adult while not being from any special clan nor being gifted with any special bloodline limit or tailed beast.

Listen here, wannabes: My boi Clark is 240 lbs of PURE KANSAS BEEF trained from a young age by Ma Kent to Love and Respect women as the Intelligent, Independent beings they are.  He is shy rambling about tractors and casually moving the copy machine when my pen falls behind it and he would NEVER demand I be sexually or romantically interested just because he’s nice.

Y’all ain’t Clark Kent.

Did a quick google and YES! [x]

  • Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un signed a three-part declaration in the Peace House, pledging to sign a peace treaty to formally end the war between North and South Korea this year.
  • The declaration states that the Koreas will work towards reunification and establish a communications post in Kaesong, North Korea.
  • By May 1, loudspeaker broadcasts and distribution of propaganda leaflets will be stopped, the declaration says.
  • The declaration says the countries will work towards the “complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.”

What I’m about to say might just be born out of fear that what has been might what will be again. I’ve been hurt, badly and more deeply than I’d ever admit. I scream self-love, but though I do realize my value now, I can’t deny that having my heart broken took an incredibly huge toll on me.

I’m scared. I’m so afraid of feeling like I’m not enough. That sounds cliché and overused, and I used to roll my eyes at this too thinking “C’mon man, know your worth,” ignorant that I would also fall victim to it later in life. Now that I’m in the same abyss of self-crippling doubt, I can say that wow is this a legitimate fear; wow is this going to ruin my life and all the relationships I’ll ever think of building; wow another thing to feed to my ever insatiable anxiety. And I can do absolutely nothing to stop it from consuming me inside-out.

I want to heal. I have so much love in me that I just want to be able to give out without feeling naive and foolish. I want to be soft and honest and warm. But instead I am doubtful, cold, and afraid.
