i agree...i cant stand character's like that...they aren't what real girls are like and it's disturbing to think that's what boys think is attractive...one of my favorite animes is Ouran high school host club and i really like how haruhi looks(normal)...most likely how many girls her age look like...i dont like how some characters look like orihime or matsumo from bleach or tsunade from naruto but i let her pass cause her fighting is awesome!...i dont understand why ppl would draw them in such a demeaning way..not only that but they usually make them so naive and dumb it hurts to watch..i mean i dont see boys anime characters being drawn as though they could never pass as normal in the real world(expect maybe some in characters in bleach and magical animes) i mean the anime can get as crazy and creative it wants but why doesn't the body have at least some truth in it?...the average bust size is a 34C not 36DDD....its simply ridicules...its as though they're saying the only thing that's attractive in a girl are the breast and legs no brains,personality,or maturity needed inorder for a guy to look your way...so yes my friend if you need help in blasting them my email is open!
Edit-for the guy below me...look i didnt say the girls have to all look like haruhi but they have to at least look realistic in some way!...the picture u provided is something i would personally except considering i could find many girls with her body shape...but as for the boys in manga not having realistic bodies is were i have to disagree..sure in the past and even know there are some i would say is too much but some i could actually find on the streets example sasuke

now i dont think he is ridicules...my own brother who is 10 has a body build much like that and its not cause he's in an anime no its cause he plays alot of soccer and sports!..that kind of body is attainable however i do not agree with over exaggeration like like zenpachi from bleach
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a213/ghostlibrarian/Bleach%20Characters/Bleach%2038/Kenpachiflashback38-5.jpg...boys and girls in anime can have as many weird hair colors and big eyes and cat ears that i dont mind its part of the animation but when it comes to the body it can be distastful at times...hence my irritation..example i have never meet a woman like this
http://namutaku.net/livejournal/fig4.jpg
but i have met women with bodies like this
http://www.cyberconnect2.jp/narutoA/char/image/temari.jpg
and dont think i believe every anime girl should cover up cause that is up to the creator but the body portions should at least be resonable enough that the real image is possible in real life...and if you must know im brasillian and if you think im not used to seeing skin think again!
as for yaoi its not that those guys cant be made a story out of but come on how many gays do you know that look like that?....they are usually alot more girlish features when it comes to their bodies...some dont like these
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/26/Selfish_Love.jpg
besides when when you make a point of girls actually believing in the boys with a nice personality in manga ur actually critizing ur own sex....i have many boys who are my friends that i can instantly think up a character they remind me of...its not about the "hot guys" its about their actions that make us like them and them being cute is just a plus...for us girls we can finish a manga and go out in the world and actually find a guy who resembles the guy we found intresting in the manga but you guys most likely cant just do that,,well you can but u'd have to find a brain dead girl and take her to get implants...its TOO unrealistic!...anime is good because it lets u get away from the norm but it's also necessary that there are possible connections and bases that can be brought back when its over...and unfortunatly the 36DDDD girls just arent one of them!
Edit-yes i agree the swing goes both ways in this situation, however its much less of a steriotype for the girls than for the boy...the steriotypical anime male is much at times more realistic than that of the girls...kouta from elfied lie is an example of the sterio type for boys in anime...and last time i checked he's pretty normal...but its not that im personally jealous(i can only speak for myself on this one) its just at time demeaning to women and girls...im not saying i wouldnt watch the show,,cause that's not the case(i watch bleach,vandreaded,naruto,etc.) but i'm not gonna say i completly approve of what they're trying to convey..i also dislike it when the girl is extremely naive and oblivious to everything as though she were mentally challenged or lost a few more than necessary brain cells...im just saying it cause im not gonna get them to stop drawing in that sort of way and neither do i want them to stop because its still a part of animation which means it is special in it's ways...im just saying however in the end of the anime or manga all you'll have gotten is legs and breast...and i guess if that's all you want then fine...my uncle works in the anime production company BONES and he said his favorite anime's to work with were Eureka 7 and FMAL...he says that eureka 7 was more realistic when it came to its body portions and story and character development...and that FMAL was to him a complete new world in which ours was the fake making it seem as though he were jumping in to FMAL's own reality....so maybe some ppl prefere a story to have it's own reality...okay fine...i dont go around critizing every anime that does have a female character like that, but on this occasion i had to support my case...heck i even said i liked tsunade and she has extremely large breasts...its not always about the body appearance that bothers me its the girls personality too they are usually brain dead but tsunade isnt, her fighting skills are amazing,not to mention she runs her own country!...i just wish for you to understand that in some cases that certain appearance and personality just makes girls feel as though that's all that matters...so maybe the art isnt normal fine but i wouldnt want to watch a superflat anime all the time...just like i wouldnt want to watch the same animes with just girls with large breasts....i prefere a medium in that area most times but then again its okay to go superflat anime on oneself considering it a very intresting kind of art...or go absolutly unrealistic body portions kind of animes...

Why stop at girls? Everything in the anime world is ridiculous- but you only pick on girls having huge chests, and small wastes. OMG!!!
But I don't think I have ever seen a yaoi anime/manga where the characters look like this: http://www.theangryyoungman.com/unspunimages/bears.jpg . These guys have a deep, meaningful love, but you don't focus on them. Nooooo. All the guys in anime are thin, have 6 pack abs, and have the sweetest personality or are impossibly strong. You like those kind of guys don't you? And you wouldn't ever pick up a manga staring the people featured in the picture I listed, would you?
Fine. Those girls aren't realistic. But neither are all those "hot guys" in anime either- after all its anime, where the implausible and preposterous are the norm.
If you don't like anime with a Yoko (http://bignanime.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/yoko.jpg ) in them, that's fine. Everyone has their tastes. Just go back to your Ouran Host Club with the perfectly realistic and representative male characters...
EDIT:
Sorry for all this ranting, but this question got me a little upset with the apparant one sided and hyporcitical nature of the whole thing. You girls who are all agreeing can get best answer, thumbs up, and what not. I just want you to imagine your favorite guy- and try to honestly figure out how realistic THEY are. For every big chested chick theres a perfectly sculpted guy...

I don't know if you are aware of how media corporations work these days around the world (especially in Japan). Their main objective is for ratings and MONEY! Sex sells and whatever will get a pubescence teen to watch their program and buy their dvds then they have met their objective. Mat was 100% correct when he stated that the pendulum swings both ways when it comes to how people are drawn in anime.
Look at the major television currently shown. The leading characters are pleasing to the eye (eventhough it is surgically enhanced) thin build with long hair. Anime is no different.

I think girls who hate girls who watch anime should just go out and watch anime themselves...... I'm an anime addict and I'm just being my own weird self.... also, I have never met someone whose an anime girl and acts snotty, I sure do know a lot of girls who don't like anime and are the snotty ones.... the anime girls I know are actually quite nice and friendly to pthers........

Ok some characters maybe annoying regardless of their gender. But hey, I like seeing anime that is nicely drawn both male or female just not too over exaggerate. It just some character personality that really gets to me that I feel like peeling them off the screen.

It is fine for girls to hate the luscious - looking anime girls. I personally think that there is nothing weird or wrong in neither hating nor loving it. Though they are usually created to invite erotic sense, they are also created to enhance humor in an anime. Some were paying more attention on the humor, but some feel uncomfortable and unnerving watching them on screen.
I hope this answers your question. =)

those kinds of over-exagerated anime girls are just there to give loser guys and teenage boys something to whack off to, plus they tend to embody some of the worst steroetypes about women. I like anime a lot, but I can't honestly blame you for feeling that way about those kinds of characters. I actually agree with you more often than not
