Teens Are Short: Difference between revisions

* Averted (mostly) in ''[[Sailor Moon]],''; the main cast of girls are fairly tall, almost as tall as Usagi's mother and Mamoru (who is, barely, a teenager at the start of the series) is shown as being as tall as any adult. It's even averted with younger characters like Usagi's younger brother who is kind of short at the start of the series but in the second season of the anime seems to have something of a growth spurt as he enters adolescence and starts catching up to the other characters in the height department. Usagi herself, though, is only four-foot-eleven at the start of the series, some three and a half inches shorter than the average girl her age.

* Compare the sizes of the adults and the teenagers in ''[[Code Geass]]''. It's surprising to see the 17/18 year old Lelouch, Kallen, and Suzaku compared to the 24 year old Clovis and the 28 -year -old Schneizel, Cornelia, and Jeremiah. Assumedly, in the ''[[Code Geass]]'' universe, you don't quit growing until you hit 30. Which, of course, would explain how a big guy like Charles (who's a towering 6'8") started out so small, or had kids who barely [[One Head Taller|reach his collarbone]].
