Practically[[In a World|In a '''World''']]''' of Buxom''', practically ''every'' single known female character, excluding the occasional [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]] [[Pettanko]], is unquestionably big-breasted. Whether they be skinny, average, muscular or chubby, female characters have larger-than-average breasts. This is especially evident when there is a wide-range of body types, and the only common feature is a large bust.
 
Practically every single known female character, excluding the occasional [[Token Mini-Moe]] [[Pettanko]], is unquestionably big-breasted. Whether they be skinny, average, muscular or chubby, female characters have larger-than-average breasts. This is especially evident when there is a wide-range of body types, and the only common feature is a large bust.
 
This can be [[Enforced]] in Video Games where [[You All Look Familiar|everyone looks familiar]] because they all use the same model. If one female NPC has large breasts, ''all'' female NPCs have them. Particuarly common in MMORPGs.
 
This is '''not''' about a lot of large-breasted women. This is where over 90% of the female cast shown has large knockers, making it seem like this body type is the '''norm''' rather than a slightly uncommon occurrence (as in [[Real Life]]). That's why this is called "World of Buxom", not "lots of buxom".
 
Usually occurs as a result of [[Author Appeal]].

{{examples|Examples }}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga ]] ==
* ''[[Godannar]]'' is a glaring example. Most of the non-pilot cast are clearly Japanese citizens, and yet not one of the girls go below "large" in terms of size, except [[Pettanko]] Lou Roux. Even when she appears on the [[Distant Finale]] she's still [[Pettanko|flat]] (or at least average sized in real life), despite being 20 at the time.
* ''[[Airmaster]]'': Every female character is busty besides Renge, who is tiny everywhere.
* Pretty much every woman in ''[[Queen's Blade]]''.
* Any girl over the age of 13 in ''[[Psychic Academy]]'' is going to be a C cup at the very smallest.
* ''[[Divergence Eve]]'': Despite being very dramatic and nearly devoid of comedy or mention of them, the entire female cast (with the exception of the flat-chested android) have very large breasts that [[Gainax Bounce]] with every turn.
* ''[[Slayers]]'', to such an extent that Lina - who isn't even all that small - is considered "flat-chested."
* Nearly everyone in ''[[Fairy Tail]]''
* ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'': Every girl over puberty.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'', where pretty much every important female, save for the heroine [[Pettanko|Maka]], has at least a D-cup or beyond.
* [[Lupin III]] does [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Zig Zag]] with this as in some features Fujiko the resident [[Ms. Fanservice]] is the only buxom lady in the story (or in certain cases the only female character in the story) and in other Lupin the 3rd features play this trope straight.
* ''[[Eiken]]'' (as shown in this page's picture) has every girl over toddler age absurdly overgifted in the bust department to the point it's ridiculous. Add in so much [[gainaxing]] it should be lethal, and even fans of this trope may wonder if the creator went too far.
* [[Angel Blade]]: Besides the recurring characters, every single one of the dozen-plus nameless female extras that are victimized by the villains are unrealistically buxom by ''Western'' standards, let alone Japan's.
* ''[[Interspecies Reviewers]]'' is all about the protagonists visiting and reviewing brothels the way a food critic would a restaurant, so there's clearly a lot of buxom females of various fantasy-races; however, it seems about 60% to 80% females in ''all'' professions in this reality have decent racks. Justified as it seems everyone is descended from [[Horny Devil]]s.
 
== [[Comic Books ]] ==
See [[Most Common Superpower]] for individual superhero comics examples.
 
* The ''C.H.I.X.'' one-shot from [[Image Comics]], which was a spoof of the [[Stripperific]] [[Dork Age]] of comics.
* ''[[Elf Quest]]'', at least where the titular elves are concerned. Dewshine is pretty much the only exception. The humans, at least, are more modestly built. This also applies to the trolls, but in a [[Fan Disservice]] way.
* In ''[[The Metabarons]]'', the planet of Ulkmar-Eight-Moon is a literal example. The females of the local proto-anthropoid species all have huge breasts.
 
== [[Live -Action TV ]] ==
* ''[[Baywatch]]'' became infamous for this in US Television back in the 90s.
 
== Video[[Tabletop Games ]] ==
* ''[[Dark Sun]]''; [[Word of God]] has admitted that the [[After the End]] desert setting (rather than, say, arctic) was intended as an excuse for scantily clad heroines.
* ''[[Planescape]]'' is this, especially with the [[Awesome Art]] of [https://www.pinterest.com/docrotwang/planescape/ Tony DiTerlizzi.]
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In the ''[[Devil Survivor]]'' universe, C cup and above are so normal anyone below that is either a child or a very rare exception to the rule, at least if you're human. Demons have only slightly more leeway, but the same rule still applies if they are capable of having humanoid cleavage.
* ''All'' human females in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' are big-breasted.
Line 51 ⟶ 55:
* ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' has this in spades, with [[Cute Bruiser|Dixie Kong]] being the ''only'' exception since she's a young girl.
* The ''[[Killer Instinct]]'' games in their entirety qualify for this.
* ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'': While this hasn't been true throughout the series, it is certainly true as of ''[[Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance]]'', and continues to be the case for the three games after.
{{quote|''[[Zero Punctuation|"Everybody has the same body type, and that's like KFC bargain buckets for the guys, juggs like two pigs and a safety harness for the ladies."]]''}}
* ''[[Resident Evil]]'' is definitely heading down this direction with some of its later games, with more and more buxom female characters in the game.
* ''[[Soul Calibur]]'' has almost all buxom female characters on the cast. Ivy Valentine and Taki are especially well-known for their generous busts.
* ''[[Ever QuestEverQuest]]'' all features women who have, according to the female model designer who created them, "[[Heroic Build|Heroic builds]]". What this means is that every mammalian race has the racial size equivalent of D-cups. The only exceptions are the races who don't have breasts in the first place.
* ''[[Dead or Alive]]'': To the point that a series of beach volleyball games were make purely to focus on these assets.
* ''[[Age of Conan]]'' is a particularly notorious example; where it's impossible to create female characters with anything smaller than a D cup. A [[Revenue Enhancing Devices|cosmetic cash-shop item]] is available that temporarily enlarges breasts to [[Gag Boobs]] proportions.
* In ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' some girls wear [[Stripperiffic]] outfits, some are [[Token Wholesome]], but one thing they all have in common are their impressive cup sizes
* "[[Star Wars: The Old Republic]]" uses the same model for all the NPC's in the game the borders on an E cup size.
** Even the female [[Player Character|PCs]] only have four models, tall or short, and average build or buxom.
* [[Planescape: Torment]] has [http://www.stormtiger.com/collie/img/archive/200606/townieupperclassfemale.jpg almost] [http://www.stormtiger.com/collie/img/archive/200606/towniefemaleangry.jpg every] [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TnhAANHHKiM/TIQhvZvIZ0I/AAAAAAAAAg4/SOlodowqmdo/s1600/annah.jpg female] character wear little more than a bra. [http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/pc/planescape/images/characters/grace.jpg Fall-From-Grace], a chaste succubus, is one of the very few characters ''not'' to have extremely large, mostly uncovered breasts.
* ''[[Xenoblade]]'' is a subtle example. There's no attention drawn it, but pretty much every female character is noticeably well-endowed.
* ''[[Lust Grimm]]'', being a [[H-game]] centred around the fetish of large breasts, is naturally an example. There is exactly one character, the Nekomata, who doesn't have breasts at least as large as their head.
 
== [[Web Webcomics Comics]] ==
* ''[[Girl Genius]]''. Every single woman--includingwoman—including the robots--hasrobots—has a huge chest. There is a grand total of ''one'' exception (other than children, of course), in Doctor Sun's grand-daughter. And even she would be considered decent size in any other work.
* ''[[Las Lindas]]'' pretty much runs off of this trope.
* A key feature of ''[[Exiern]]''; of course, this could be related to the author selling R-rated versions of the comic.
* This is the case with female drow in ''[[Drowtales]]''. It's easier to list the females who aren't buxom, Quain'tana chief among them, which may in fact be [[Fridge Brilliance]] since it emphasizes {{spoiler|her infertility, which is a major crux of the plot}}.
Line 72 ⟶ 77:
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' [http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2010-12-30 eventually lampshaded it].
** Ironically, though, it's actually an aversion. (Well, maybe not if you count the [[Gender Bender|men]].)
* ''[[The_NonThe Non-Adventures_of_WonderellaAdventures of Wonderella]]'' had this in "[http://nonadventures.com/2011/09/02/das-reboot/ Das Reboot]". For everyone. Even the flying sparkle thingy. It didn't stick.
 
== Western Animation ==
 
== [[Western Animation ]] ==
* ''[[Heavy Metal (animation)|Heavy Metal]]'' features all buxom women.
** The [[South Park]] episode homage even had boobs in the buildings & weapons!
