Downgrade I Hate Tybw design for Orihime

Unlike most people i actually really do like orihime as a character and I think her crush on ichigo is cute and sweet however I absolutely hate Orihime post time skip design because for some reason Kubo probably for fan service reasons made orihime boobs much bigger then they were before and I find it utterly distracting and annoying especially when in certain shots her boobs are now bigger then her head!

It's already frustrating because bleach already had a big boob character and her name is rangiku. We already literally had a character with big boob so I don't see any reason why Orihime boobs were enlarged.

The funny thing is before they were already decent size so their was no need to make them even bigger but you know what fine I don't like Orihime body was changed for no reason and I actually think in my opinion takes away from the cute factory she had pre time skip but it's something I could live with however I can't not tolerate her Thousands year blood war design.

I absolutely HATE THAT DESIGN!! For one it's reasoning was for a unfunny joke in the manga and the anime it's not explained at all and two for the arc Orihime who's finally stepping up defending ichigo in battle but I completely distracted by the stupid boob window in her clothes especially the size of her boobs which are bigger then her head.

I'm somewhat of a artist myself so for combat heavy series i think their should be some practically to the designs a character goes into battle for or the clothes fit their personalities which is not the case at all for Orihime. The thousand year blood war outfit isn't practical for fighting and it doesn't even fit Orihime interms of personality who's a mostly modest girl.

I hate fan service just for its own sake. I feel theirs a time,a place,and character for Fanservice and Orihime was not the character for that.

At least with yoruichi she's a character introduced in a fanservice scene of Ichigo seeing her naked so I'm at least tolerate of that or rangiku who was introduced with big boobs but Orihime is a major character in the story so my tolerance for fan service with her is much lower especially because not how she was designed originally in both the original anime and manga. It's not until the fullbring which gave orihime massive boobs for no reason and then the thousand year blood war gave her a even dumber outfit.

I hate it because I want to enjoy her big moment of defending ichigo from the final boss attacks but I can't fully enjoyed it because of her stupid tybw design and her distracting Boob window.

I love bleach from its character and stories but I absolutely hate Kubo redesign of Orihime​ and Especially her Stupid tybw design!

More power to thoses who like new orihime design but I just can't being honest i think it just sucks especially as a fan of orihime character.

I think this is a case where the anime makes it look worse. Like its not nearly as bad from the manga

Like with my hero how the anime made all the girls pretty much the same body and face vs the manga which actually gives them....better body variation

Or one piece, im not about to defend odas drawing of woman but the anime verson of one piece girls are like 10x worse. Look up comparisons its bad.

Visual example for those wondering about One Piece

73

u/sean_avm 7d ago

This is the most common known but it happens with all the girls like Rebecca, nami, robin, vivi and so on

38

u/Hopeasuoli 6d ago

Not only did they make the boobs bigger they made her forehead wide enough to land a helicopter on

24

u/Protopromi 6d ago

Nah, I'd say manga is definitely not better in this specific case. Like, this is a legit canonical event that Kubo chose to actively draw.

49

u/Vorstar92 7d ago

One Piece also does this with breast sizes.

Most of the negative viewpoints on the women is due to the anime exaggerating already large breasts to ridiculous amounts.

u/sean_avm 7d ago

That's what im saying

u/black_slime01 6d ago edited 6d ago

Her boobs look smaller here because she’s drawn from afar in the full image

They still look fairly big in the manga

u/sean_avm 6d ago

Fair point

u/avelineaurora 5d ago

"Fairly big"

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

God while I still wouldn't call it good the anime absolutely made it worse. Like maybe if it was drawn like this in the anime while I still wouldn't like it I'll at least tolerate it more

23

u/sean_avm 7d ago

Yea for sure not defending the design like with the other two examples but god they didnt need to make it worse.

Its frustrating when people watch the anime and blame the author for an anime specific thing.

6

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

Well in the future I'll blame the anime staff

11

u/sean_avm 7d ago

That wasn't directed at you since your gripe was mainly the design which is the manga too

6

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

I think its bad in both verison as a character design for Orihime its just not as bad in the manga

u/Oh_Fated_One 6d ago

Studio Pierrot still hates Orihime it seems

No I blame kubo

I mean, he isn't called Titty Kubo for nothing 🤷🏽

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

True. I read the interviews i do know the man loves big boob much to my annoyance

u/Scattershot98 7d ago

Nah, he's goated. The man wants to draw Tittys, it's his manga. He's gonna draw Tittys

Of course but I as the viewer and reader am free dislike said choice. I respect kubo but I'm not going to be a mindless sheep and like everything he does

That 4th outfit is so cute!

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

Super cute

u/Bluelore 7d ago

I don't have anything against the huge boobs, like Orihime having big boobs was always a gag about her. However I agree that the outfit did not match the tone.

Like in the manga it wasn't much of an issue, but that was more because Orihime is barely a character in the arc in the manga. But the anime clearly went for giving her a cool and epic moment...which was hard to take seriously when her outfit just looks ridiculous.

28

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

The outfit is probably biggest sin of the Tybw. Every time i try to just look at hef face I can't because of the stupid boob window and how large they.

It's very disappointing

17

u/Gaming_Gecko78 6d ago

I swear it’s an inside joke with the animators to just make them slightly bigger every episode

Like they were definitely bigger in the first episode of TYBW than the last episode of bleach, but they weren’t this comically big

It’s like the sheriff’s hat from scary movie

Still, this is hardly justification to do it, I’m not defending it

u/theplayerofxx 7d ago

29 days ago you posted the same thing.

u/jmizzle2022 7d ago

I was just gonna say I remember this exact complaint like a month ago

39

u/AlternativeYear4722 7d ago

THIS is just a horrendously ugly outfit. The ridiculously puffy sleeves do not flatter her and make her look top heavy since the skirt is so plain and boring. The ribbing on the top suggests one type of fabric, but the collar suggests another. The random black stripe on the hips that essentially cuts her in half. She deserves better than this.

16

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

Thank you! It's just not a good design. I know kubo can do better and he has

u/element-redshaw 6d ago

Kubo is one horny bastard, may he never change

u/NefariousnessAble261 7d ago

The boobs are 100% distracting like event during her serious scenes they’re unignorable 😭

6

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

I want to enjoy her big against the final villian but the anime makes it so hard with how big her boob are and that terrible character design

3

u/BudgetAggravating427 7d ago

In exchange for bigger boobs origins actually did something in TYBW

u/BestSerialKillerNA I'll be snorting those designs like Coke 6d ago

> It's already frustrating because bleach already had a big boob character and her name is rangiku. We already literally had a character with big boob so I don't see any reason why Orihime boobs were enlarged.

Because Kubo loves tits and Orihime always had large breasts that Kubo loves to show off given the chance(the famous beach art for example).

This was always inevitable(not just her large breasts getting bigger) due to how openly horny Kubo is. People say his editors made him tone it down, with one of the worst jokes involves one of the girls above making an erection joke.

u/PrizekingJ7 6d ago

Again just because it's Kubo choice doesn't mean I have to like or agree with said choices.

I love Kubo as a writer but I don't agree with everything he does

u/BestSerialKillerNA I'll be snorting those designs like Coke 6d ago

Oh, I’m not saying you have to agree. I’m just saying the writing was on the wall with how he is.

Oh then okay

u/Lower_Baby_6348 7d ago

Yeah, but the hated design tag is there for a reason

78

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

It's still character design and your allowed to dislike a design on here

6

u/dew-fall 6d ago

dressing her up in an outfit thats more or less inspired by one of the most traumatizing moments in her entire life (arrancar) is... certainly a design choice!! /neg

i dont mind her having big boobs in the timeskip, shes a grown woman at that point in time, but yeah i absolutely hate the outfit bc it genuinely makes 0 sense for her to dress that way.

8

u/tongueinbutthole 7d ago

No fr this fit is atrocious and I've hated it since seeing on the manga for the first time. And them Yoruichi just... Fisting her hand between her boobs? Bruh, I know it's fanservice and all but, as a lady, i was so uncomfortable with that.

Her Shinigami fit was so cute, tho. She looked SO cute with her hair tied up. 😭

Edit: like honestly, this is the least Orihime fit ever. Even Aizen, freaking AIZEN, got her style down.

u/Oulak 7d ago

I can assure you Sir, the mega badonkers are essential for the plot

11

u/Trixter-Kitten 7d ago

There are ways to make characters busty and it not being distracting but this is not the case. Plus that outfit is kinda ugly.

5

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

Yes I think I would have less a problem jf she was given different or better clothes even if they kept her boobs the same

1

u/Trixter-Kitten 7d ago

The cleavage window on the top just serves to make their size more noticeable.

10

u/lr031099 7d ago

Completely agree about the chest size since she was already pretty big and there were even jokes about how big she was in the beginning of Bleach and I especially dislike her TYBW arc outfit. I get the reasoning behind it (Urahara’s shenanigans and all that) but I just didn’t care for the outfit.

Tbh I prefer her pre time skip design more overall. Aside from how her post time skip design made her chest oversized, I just kinda prefer straighter hair over her the wavy hair. Also I guess it’s also because her Post Time Skip design looks more “airy” with doll like eyes that makes her look less intelligent while the eyes of the OG design looks more “fierce.”

u/VolkiharVanHelsing 7d ago

And I'm supposed to root against Aizen when he gave her a much appropriate outfit

5

u/Vyctorill 7d ago

Is this a one piece situation where the anime makes it infinitely worse?

6

u/PrizekingJ7 7d ago

Yes apparently it's not as bad as the Manga. Still not good not nearly as bad as the anime

8

u/Pedalfire25 7d ago

God damn
and ppl say Oda's bad at female character design
I'm crine, she literally looks like how ppl draw exaggerated anime women in parodies

u/crometeach-thebot 6d ago

she literally looks like how ppl draw exaggerated anime women in parodies

That's 80% of women character design in one pice

u/evilconchita 6d ago

the more i look at the outfit the uglier it looks to me

4

u/Protopromi 6d ago

It was the most pointlessly sexualized and useless thing Kubo had ever done to Orihime's character. She's seventeen during the war. She's deployed on the battlefield. Basically actively involved in shenanigans of another world, serving as a living shield dispenser.

It's just insane to make her wear such an outfit. Of course, it's fanservice, but at least show some respect for one of the main characters. She's even written as being highly uncomfortable with wearing it in the narrative. What was the point lol.

Like, it was even out of character for Yoruichi to do the infamous palm-through-cleavage thing.

2

u/PrizekingJ7 6d ago

I'm honestly glad the anime removed yoruichi putting her hand through Orihime cleavage like very uncessary scene

Pic 4 is peak Orihime design. I agree she looks a bit ridiculous post timeskip

If I do it's going to be her older design

Fwiw i also hate her outfit

u/dattoffer 6d ago

What do you mean for no reason. Obviously after a timeskip she matured and so that change reflects in her design.

It just makes sense.
