Line 27:
* Parodied in ''[[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu]]/Hare+Guu'' in which Gupta thinks back to an anime he saw. [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/531741/bounce-breasts-brown_hair-city-gif-hairband-jungle see for yourself](NSFW).
* Plentiful in ''[[Gravion]]'' (which provides this page's picture), especially with [[Ms. Fanservice|Mizuki Tachibana]], who bounces considerably with the slightest movement, even ''swallowing''.
** Gainaxing is a signature of Gravion's creator, Masami Obari, present in his works, including the ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' anime adaptions and ''[[Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer]]'', in which it's put to the utmost extreme.
* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' has the character Faye Valentine, who is breathtakingly beautiful with gigantic pneumatic breasts that seem to have minds of their own. She also almost invariably dresses in a manner that would, in any American city in the late 20th Century, cause everyone who saw her to conclude immediately that she is a streetwalker. Canon indicates that she does this on purpose [[Distracted by the Sexy|to distract men]]. On one occasion, she wears a perfectly normal evening gown.
* The seventh ''[[One Piece]]'' movie had the girls bounce from doing absolutely ''anything''. Hell, in a few scenes, Nami will simply be standing around, perfectly still, and her boobs will just randomly bounce quite forcefully all on their own. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QodpMgXGqAo See for yourself].
Line 41:
* Kurono Kurumu in ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]''. The movement of her breasts even produces audible sounds! And in episode 4, Kurumu's fat stalker (or rather, his belly).
* Chapter 95 of the manga ''[[Mx0]]'' plays this trope for satire with a magical liquid that makes some (already extremely buxom) girls' breasts experience only 1/6 normal gravity. The result is a ''lot'' of bouncing, first from falling, then from wind, then an earthquake.
* ''[[To LOVE-Ru]]'' seems overly fond of this. EspicallyEspecially Lala. Just watch the OVA opening, 1 minute and 30 seconds of pure bounce.
* Every female character that appears in the various ''[[Ranma ½]]'' motion pictures—even the ones who are supposed to be small-breasted. This contrasts with the main series where they never seem to move at all, since the show is kind of old and didn't have a huge budget.
** Especially since the characters are considerably ''less'' endowed in the television series.
Line 51:
* Virtually any adult female in ''[[Devil Hunter Yohko]]''
* The opening credits of ''[[Landlock]]''.
* The title character in ''Amazing Nurse Nanako'' falls prey to this, making an otherwise well -plotted series difficult to watch ".[http://www.animepalm.com/series-images/amazing-nurse-nanako.jpg\ Observe]".
* While not exactly as flagrant, Murrue Ramius of ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' has the dubious honor of having her bouncing chest be one of the few whose bouncing was actually animated and used as [[Stock Footage]] every time the ''Archangel'' took a particularly nasty hit in battle. This seemed to be limited to her, until first officer Natarle Badguirel ended up in command of her own ship, whereupon she gained the suddenly bouncing breasts (albeit not as dramatically given her modest proportions), as did Flay Alster as part of her crew. Whether this is actually an accurate depiction of how breasts move in zero gravity is debatable.
** Murrue was also the first woman in the ''[[Gundam]]'' franchise to have her jiggle ''in the opening credits of the actual series itself''. She was replaced in the HD Remaster by Fllay Alster. The [[James Bond|James Bond opening credits level]] nudity is also bra-less and even had male viewers often going "...those don't work that way." Female tropers, on the other hand, winced in pain and often skipped those credits.
Line 124:
* This happens in episode 19 of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]''; for unexplainable reasons beyond pointing out that Havoc likes big boobs, Lust's boobs bounce considerably.
* Mii in ''[[Jungle de Ikou!]]'' Gainaxes quite a bit, thanks in part to her huge rack (Mii's breasts are supposed to represent Earth's life-giving energy); this is taken to a somewhat absurd level when Mii uses her powers to turn into a giant.
* ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hB_3hZqE04\] combines Gainaxing with] [[Bullet Time]]. ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|And it is ridiculously awesome!]]''
* Another Studio Gainax creation, ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', would always promise "more fanservice" in the next episode. Strangely, this was the one time Studio Gainax ''didn't'' follow this trope: the show did have a fair amount of tongue-in-cheek fanservice, but its overall animation style was less "cartoony" and trying to be photo-realistic, so unrealistic "breasts bouncing around like water balloons" didn't really happen that often.
** They made up for it in ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion|Rebuild]]'', when Mari puts on her new plugsuit and comments how comfortable it is, demonstrating how well it can support her relatively huge chest. It was relatively realistic, tough. And she was wearing skin-tight, elastic clothing at that time.
*** Also seen at two moments later in the movie, when destruction of the bones guarding an angel's core caused its chest to lose its tautness, resulting in a bounce of building-sized breasts; and when a naked Rei gasped in surprise.
* In an odd variant, ''[[Brave Command Dagwon]]'' has this happen to Galaxy Luna's buttocks during her henshin sequence. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4Ajh989z0M&NR=1 Said sequence starts at 1:07]).
Line 138:
** Notably averted with the Major herself, however, whose admittedly generous breasts are artificial, like the rest of her body, and actually animated that way.
* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' had this happening to Mion {{spoiler|(really Shion)}}. Like every other [[Fan Service]] trope used, [[Fan Disservice|it came off as seriously creepy]].
* ''[[Ladies versus Butlers!]]'' is full of this, having ample fanservice moments. Sernia Iori Flameheart in particular, she even gets the sound effects, generally the other girls don't.
* ''[[Golden Boy]]'' did this quite a bit, especially in the first episode (from the owner of a computer software company).
* ''[[Queen's Blade]]'' has this by the truckloads but episode nine of the first season is most appropriate example being a Cattleya[[Big Beautiful Woman|Cattleya]]-centric episode.
* ''[[Airmaster]]'': Mina has plenty of this but she's a Subversion of [[Ms. Fanservice]] and her [[Gag Boobs|figure]] is played mostly for laughs as her breasts tend to bounce out of sync with the rest of her body and the movements are extremely exaggerated
* Chu's entire entourage in ''[[Mouse]]'', even the flat chested one.
* Done hilariously in the [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[Tokimeki Memorial|Tokimeki Memorial Only Love]]'' with swimming team captain Koayu Utsumi, whose [[Gag Boobs]] jiggle just from her merely looking around, complete with sound effects (and it doesn't help that it's getting all the attention of all the guys around, which she hates so much, and especially since she's on lifeguard duty at the time).
* Happens at one time or another to most of the female cast of the anime releases of the ''[[Koihime Musou]]'' franchise who have large breasts, especially to Kannu. Ryuubi even gets to do it on purpose later in the series to [[Distracted by the Sexy|lure someone into a trap]].
* The entire point of ''[[Training with Hinako]]'' and its sequels.
* Haruhara Haruko in ''[[FLCL]]''. It is Gainax after all. Of particular note is the random bunny suit she wears during the big battle in episode 5.
* The eponymous Rio from ''[[Rio -Rainbow Gate!-]]'' has very bouncy assets, which get ample emphasis in the show. The fact that she dresses in an extremely revealing manner for a casino croupier, [[Bare Your Midriff|baring her midriff]] and [[Dangerously-Short Skirt|wearing an ultra-short skirt]], only exacerbates this.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[Seitokai Yakuindomo]]'' with Aria Ichijou. Being [[Ms. Fanservice]], her boobs jiggle on occasion, often to emphasize how [[A-Cup Angst|jealous the other girls are of her size]]. At one poimt, she ''willed them to bounce on their own'' when the discussion turned to them.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in the animated ''omake'' of ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', when Rock wakes up [[Gender Flip|as a woman]]... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoSMtWykUq8 "WITH HUGE BOOBS!"].
** In the series proper, Revy's very acrobatic [[Gun Fu]] causes this to occur during her fight scenes. More noticeable in some than others.
* ''[[Maicchingu Machiko Sensei]]'' was perhaps the first anime to do this, although the gainaxing in that show is tame by today's standards.
