Taking down alien threats, saving local ecosystems, and being a pirate can really work up an appetite. This is especially true if you're a strong, burly

7. Hei (Darker than Black) The otherwise emotionless assassin Hei cares about two things: his sister and eating absurd amounts of food. While masquerading as a Chinese exchange student, Hei is seen confusing waitstaff with his giant orders of food and devouring more bowls of ramen in one sitting than most would eat in a year. Hei eats the most when he's mentally stable, a rare occurance for a contract killer.

6. Squid Girl (Squid Girl) Ika's two goals in life are to punish humanity for polluting the ocean and spend the rest of her days eating shrimp. She more or less achieves the latter goal when the would-be ELF member ends up working in a restaurant. Besides the day-to-day responsibilities of repaying her debt, Ika enjoys eating as much shrimp as possible for a humanoid squid and taking it upon herself to relieve customer's of their food orders, too.

5. Goku (Dragon Ball Z) In Goku's case, you can't throw out an adequate Kamehameha blast without consuming enough energy first. Goku will easily clear a whole table of food and his son's appetite isn't anything to scoff at, either. Goku's need to eat is so overpowering he has attributed losing fights to opponents because he was hungry. Is this really surprising coming from a series where majority of the characters are named after food?

Petite female lead would be the last person you'd expect to enter an eating contest. In fact, the only reason Fuu didn't win was because of incorrect signal to the competition's judge. Fuu's metabolism is also scary-fast and she quickly drops her newly added weight before the episode ends. The entire scene is pretty funny and Fuu's new appearance has the serendipitous side-effect of confusing some pursuing thugs.

3. Bolt Crank (Eat-Man '98) Bolt's appetite isn't so much insatiable as it is really, really weird. Not an I like to eat pickles and ice cream weird, but an I eat machine parts weird. Bolt's undiagnosed pica disorder allows him to swallow things like screws and reassemble them internally. The item then emerges from some place on Bolt's body and is used to take out a bad guy or otherwise get out of a tricky situation.

2. Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) Luffy's stomach is as stretchy as the rest of his Devil Fruit-enhanced body. The Straw Hat crew's captain will easily empty out any unsuspecting restaurant's pantry and is known to sleep-eat. The guy even adjusted his wardrobe to cargo shorts in the Enies Lobby Arc just so he could carry meat in the pockets, his preferred source of energy.

Ko abides by the creed If I don't want to eat it, I will not kill it. If I kill it, I will eat it! That's my rule! and will proceed to eat to the point of immobility. All of his culinary endeavors are in hopes of creating the perfect menu, filled with only the rarest and tastiest ingredients.

The Stars Are All Afire In The Sky... — Hey Does Anyone Have That One Grossly Over Sexual

The old poll: Last week's poll asked about your New Year's resolutions. According to the poll, most are hoping to find employment or get a better job. Unsurprisingly, less than !% voted to watch less anime or read less manga. Here's the full results (anything under 1% was omitted):

, blogs about women and LBGT topics in anime and manga on her blog Engendered Dilemma, and posts pictures of her son on Twitter @ANN_LynzeeSome time ago, I was watching a cute girl anime and there were a number of random scenes where the main character(s) just basically had a mukbang for no reason. Half a rando episode was just dedicated to cute girls eating huge amounts of food. And it seemed a bit odd because it was out of nowhere.

It’s one thing to have a lot of eating montages in a show like Yuru Camp. If the anime is going to be about camping then dedicating some time to the peculiarities of cooking and eating outdoors makes sense. And that idea was present throughout the season. But when it’s a show where food hasn’t even really been mentioned until you have this ridiculous binge episode, I just didn’t get it.

Anime Film Hits All The Right Notes

A couple of readers helpfully pointed out that overeating or simply excessive eating is actually something of a CGDCT trope and can be seen in a lot of anime. And since then I have in fact noticed it in a lot of different shows in various genres. An adorable little girl just vacuuming up everything in sight.

For the most part, I’m pretty indifferent to this but I just started this new manga called Mogusa-san and the cute girl eats a lot trope is basically the central plot. And it kind of bothered me so I would like to talk about it a bit.

There are going to be a lot of disclaimers in this post because some anime fans can get touchy about certain subjects. So let me start by saying that cute/pretty girls eating a lot isn’t specific to anime. It’s actually something that has been present in media and general society for a long time and in a lot of cultures.

Always Loved How Orihime Ate An Entire (and Huge) Loaf Of Bread For Lunch. Very Adorable!

 trope or before that the not like other girls trope. I’m not like other girls, I don’t just eat salads, I like to chow down on double cheeseburgers with bacon. The cool girl doesn’t have to worry about her diet, she’s too cool for that!

It’s not like I haven’t noticed it in tons of movies and shows. That one girl character that everyone wants to be or be with and she’s the one ordering a second pizza because the first one just didn’t quite hit the spot.

I will say that it’s a little more overt in the anime I have watched. This might be because Japan is not as shy about singling out physical attributes or I might just be the type of humour. But I seem to see it more and more excessively in anime. Then again I watch anime almost exclusively so you shouldn’t take my word on this.

Like I said, for the most part, I’m indifferent to it. It doesn’t do anything for me. I don’t find it cute or funny but I also don’t find it unpleasant. 99% of the time. However, there is something that irks me about this trope and Mogusa-san brought it out.

My issue here has a little something to do with beauty standards. I think we can agree that beauty standards kind of suck. They’re not scientific absolutes or anything and they change all the time and according to where you are as well. If you go on YouTube and look up beauty standards through history, you’ll see that women in particular would need to go through extensive surgery every 10 to 15 years if they actually wanted to keep up with beauty standards because the changes require impossible shapeshifting. And occasionally, the standard is unnatural, to begin with. And yet despite all of that, the beauty industry build on these standards we all know are silly, is HUGE. And I think a lot of us at some point wish we would look more like the imaginary “ideal”. I’m not losing sleep over such thoughts but I’m certainly not above them either.

To be clear, I don’t think unrealistic beauty standards are anyone’s fault. Maybe society as a whole. In my opinion, there’s no point in trying to find someone (or a group) that is responsible for this distorted view. Moreover, I understand that beauty standards affect men as well, and I think this is becoming more of an issue. However, where I live, it’s still way more prevalent for women to feel the particular pressure to be a specific type of pretty so that’s what I’m going to be talking about here. I also noticed that as far as the anime trope goes, it’s almost always young lady characters that are at the center.

You probably guessed by now what is getting on my nerves. For most of my life, I have gotten this subtle message that I should be able to eat tons and stay thin and very attractive. Actually no, it’s more that if I was a fun cool girl I

Eat tons, more than the guys, and stay hot without any effort. And you know what, for most common mortals that’s just not how it works.

Mogusa-san embraces this message full on. It’s a romance manga in which a high school boy who works at his family’s little fried food restaurant falls in love with a girl in his class after seeing her eat this huge plate at his work. As their relationship grows, he continues to cook for her and she continues to eat unreasonably enormous portions. It is clearly stated that she regularly eats enough food in
