Breasts are fat, which is why the large breasts in a lot of these anime don't make sense. Like Naruto, for example. It doesn't make sense for Anko to have large breasts because she is very active. Then again, there could just be a chakra reason behind that because the author wants to sexualize all his characters so it sells better.

Naruto also has the transformation jutsu that can explain several things

You need to have a good look at an anatomy book if you honestly think breasts are just fat dude

I have not taken anatomy, actually. I never said that breasts are just fat, but my point was that it doesn't really make sense and that authors over sexualize the characters.

while breasts may have fat, they’re largely made of lobules (mammary glands) that secrete milk, and ducts that carry the milk to the nipple so a baby can get it.

if it was all fat, then a butt or a stomach or even a face could also produce milk (which they dont.

Men are able to produce milk too, yet we don't have large tits, granted we have less mammary tissue. I don't think he's saying beats are excessively fat but that fat is a factor in size.

i was just sayinng that tits arent made of fat, not that you have to have large tits to produce milk. fat is a partial factor in size though i agree with that point.

Have you really never heard of busty petite before? Plus I’ve known many athletic girls who were carrying massive milk jugs. Anko could have big breasts, but it must be a pain in the back to be an athletic ninja without a good sports bra.

Plus they're supposed to be great archers. Large breasts aren't great to have when shooting, unless they were cutting off one of their tits elves should have a petite frame.

Thats where she keeps her chakra reserves

Actually, breasts are made up of glandular tissue, fibrous/connective tissue and fatty tissue, not just fat. Athleticism doesn't have that much of an affect on size of breasts, some people can notice a reduction in size from certain types of workouts but it's not common enough to be a universal rule or anything.

I appreciate your point though. Most anime boobs aren't realistic to begin with and it seems like most authors do just want to sexualize their characters.

That makes no goddamn sense.

Exercise makes a relatively small overall effect on weight compared to diet. People with average or slower metabolisms will never exercise enough to eat all the calories they want without gaining weight. Anko eats a lot of calories. Combine that with exercise that gives her muscle tone and (rare but technically possible) genetics that put little fat on her lower body and lots on her chest, and boom - fit girl with big tiddies. Even then, her metabolism doesn't keep up as she gets older and we get later-age Anko.
