JuicyPlayer said:. More like getting turned on by the Power of his opponent. Oct 25, 16, Columbus, OH. DragonSJG said:. She's only Shampoos. Kuraudo Member. Sanji killed my interest in One Piece. He starts off as such a cool character - cool design, laid back attitude, problems with authority.
But as soon as a woman shows up he turns into a creep. HustleBun said:. I used to think that it was a sexual urge brought on by the power of his opponent. The camera zooms in to remove any confusion over what Hisoka is interested in. Kind of disturbing. KingM Member. Oct 28, 2, They're meant to be funny to grade school and Jr high students. The authors,audience, and editors seem to think they're funny.
Or like many tropes itvis so ingrained it's expected and accepted. Shes in her 20s trying to date an 11 year old? Lukes Member. Oct 28, 6, This is a trope I never understood or why people found so funny even as a kid and neither did my friends. Gentlemen Member. Oct 25, 6, Because the audience for anime remains dominated by single men who don't care if the characters behave like real people.
They demand Japan's equivalent of the Commedia dell'arte and need that male gaze catered to at all times. One Piece One Piece does the opposite of Naruto. It gets more perverted as the series progresses. Sanji is initially introduced as a likable chef with a penchant for kicking and a passion for food. He believes that no one deserves to go hungry, no matter who they are or what they've done and it drives his character.
A passing joke is made that he flirts with all the women at the restaurant no matter the age, shape or status and he has an immediate crush on Nami when they first meet. In the next two arcs, he does a cartoony squiggly body wave with heart-eyes every time he sees Nami, he starts calling her "my sweet" and "my little swan". Then they introduce Robin, who Sanji repeats these behaviors with.
Then Sanji is shown peaking in on women bathing. Then Sanji starts obsessing with Nami's body, comments and stares at her body when she is in a bikini and starts yelling at her when she puts on a jacket and keeps bringing it up. Then he starts discriminating women over their age and body shape so much for that comment in the restaurant. It somehow keeps getting worse, Sanji becomes a full-on nose-bleed pervert trope and has an entire arc about why it's his sole motivation in life to be able to "perv on women in the bathroom".
Every character moment with him has to do with him oggling a woman, hitting on Nami and Robin, trying to spy on women changing or bathing or even wanting a special power so he can do these things. I fucking hate him. Brook and Frankie are also treated as perverts but they are nowhere near Sanji's level. Brook asks women to see their panties or inquires as to the color of their undergarments as an introduction whenever he meets them for the first time.
It really takes away from his character as he isn't presented as a "pervert trope" beyond this. Frankie calls himself a pervert but won't hit on women or peep, he gets his underwear stolen through no fault of his own and is called a pervert by townspeople. He later hears enemies calling their vehicles a "convert" and insecurely thinks they are calling him a pervert but so far I'm at Sabaody he thankfully isn't an actual pervert. This is why the awkward virgin character appears more than the perverted, sexually-active male.
More people can identify with him than the perverted side character who brags about his conquests. But, at the same time, the perverted character remains because it represents a persona some men wish they could be or experience.
Harem anime center on male escapist fantasies. According to the Association of Japanese Family Plan, in married couples reported that they do not have sex more than once a month. The parent-child relationship rates as more important than the husband-wife relationship Ishikawa This offers a reason why perverted male characters stereotype as older men—think Master Roshi and Jiraiya—more often than teens. It provides a outlet for men who may feel dissatisfied with the focus on children within their marriages.
These characters also allow them to laugh at their own sexual state by providing an absurd opposite. I have to note that anime often features innocence as a type of perversity.
For example, in Dragonball, Goku often looks up skirts. Some teen characters feature this same level of curiosity and innocence. This differs from true perversity which has a lustful component and a drive for sexual gratification. Perversity has an element of curiosity. Even men who are sexually experienced retain this curiosity. Castro-Vanquez performed a case study of a Japanese senior high school back in In the study, students fell into one of four categories:. Grinders and Confident Heterosexuals stand at odds with each other.
Grinders viewed sexuality as opposite academic achievement and success:. Q: Are you saying that having sex and academic achievement contradict one another?
A: … For example my friends, whom I attended kindergarten with, they have many girls, they are always causing problems and they are having a lot of sex. It sounds a little bit biased, but their academic abilities, and abilities in general are different. The schools, the schools they attend are not that good. They do mainly sports. They play around.
They have sex when they feel like … The environment where they live is just different. Masashi, 18 years old. Whereas the Confident Heterosexuals considered sex as a product of manliness. Inside these 4 categories, we also see anime character stereotypes. Lifestylers and Confident Heterosexuals contain the perverted anime male character.
Most perverted characters embrace their sexual drive, and some equate it with manhood. This contrasts with innocent interest in gender differences some characters convey. Lifestyler male characters may have an extreme interest in sex, but they also have enough fear that they never follow through with the act, such as Aito in The Comic Artist and His Assistants.
The conflict appeals across the different categories and provides for humorous situations. Female Grinders often appear as closet perverts in anime. Speaking of female characters, for most of Japanese history, women were considered more sexual than men. I cannot take it. Plots and stories ruined by sick pervertedness. What is up with this? Why are Japanese animators so lustful of sick and twisted sex topics.
Is it in their culture? Makes me puke. Feb 13, 2, 0 0. There are plenty of dirty anime out there. However, there are plenty more that aren't dirty.
Find the following: Cowboy Bebop Trigun Both of which don't have sexual overtones. Wallydraigle Banned. Nov 27, 10, 1 0. Look out for the swarms of flaming anime people. XMan Lifer. Oct 9, 12, 46 I dunno, it must be a cultural thing. WTF Xerox, you have to be kidding. Anyway, im just pissed that good anime, or the violent ones i like, have to have sexual overtones. Apr 18, 25, 2 0. Some are just fine. CinderElmo Senior member. Jun 23, 0 0. I remember when the Japanese invaded Manchuria, they did some twisted crap to the women.
You have just dated yourself Sep 13, 8, 1 The rest of the world is a lot more carefree about it. Boogak Diamond Member. Feb 2, 3, 0 0. Yeah, that Pokemon stuff sure is sick! NTB Diamond Member. Mar 26, 5, 0 0. Seriously,you just picked up the wrong stuff. Kite and Angel Sanctuary are pretty bad. Neither the villain, nor any of the onlooking supporting characters, particularly pay attention to her nudity during and after the battle; even when she is subsequently hugged by her boyfriend, there is no sensuality present in the depiction.
I think that this is not really that anime-specific, It can be seen in lots of American shows also. I can't say that I see much of a difference myself, perhaps there are particular genres either american or japanese that do, but for the most part I think it's about equal. Perhaps barring more recent shows as I believe american TV has become more open about sex. In the context of a story, usually traits are added if they're essential to the plot.
Some stories need some conflict with exes, and there's usually an episode of intimacy included here - just like with American TV. In ecchi shows, being a virgin is often an appeal point - viewers like innocent females moreso than promiscuous ones. This is seen in Western culture too - see Slut-Shaming and the porn industry's value on virginity videos.
For an example in Eastern culture, see the many idol groups who prohibit relationships in order to keep their appeal to their fans. Another point to mention is that anime generally has a younger cast than western shows. Many western shows are based around an adult cast at work, wheras the majority of anime shows are focused on school-life. Obviously adult characters would have had more time to experience intimate relationships than school characters especially as they could be in single-sex schools.
Along with a school setting, comes teenage angst, fluctuating hormones and an increased interest in the opposite sex. This is a theme that resonates strongly with the male teenage target audience which is an important majority of anime fans. That being said, my exposure to American shows is limited.
But coming from a background with much exposure to British media - I think it's not too indifferent from the shows here. Maybe it's America who are the odd ones out? Sign up to join this community.
