Hammer of the Pervs
Dropping Zero Context Examples here:
- Air Gear definitely belongs here.
- Grenadier takes this Up To Eleven considering that this trope is actually a plot point later on.
- Gravion to a pretty high level.
- Kyoukai Senjou No Horizon: with a few exceptions.
- Cyberteam In Akihabara
- Maken Ki
- Ikki Tousen and Tenjho Tenge are known cases of this as well
- Code Geass is also quite an example of this as well (especially during the 1st season).
- Good Vibes
And I'm not sure what this one is saying, it's not written well:
- Lupin III does 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.
Can we really complain over zero-content examples for this trope? How much is there to say about a work using this trope? It's not as if it applies to any specific characters in the work. What details would you require from each example?

It was raised as an issue in the TRS thread. Maybe just a line saying, "with few to no exceptions all the female characters blah blah boobs whatever."
"Did anybody invent this stuff on purpose?" - Phillip Marlowe on tequila, Finger Man by Raymond Chandler.
I could add that to all the examples if that is seriously what is wanted. It seems a bit redundant to me, and I think it would look a bit foolish when it is used repeatedly.
You have a point there. I was thinking that when I typed it out. It's kind of a self-explanatory trope.

When there's an opening in the trs we need to have a thread for a definite definition.
There a are a lot of mistakes here where the article tries to discuss specific (mostly Japanese) cup sizes. It seems to be written on the assumption that Japanese bra measurements are equivalent to American ones, just with E, F, G instead of DD, DDD, DDDD, so that there's no ambiguity even if you don't specify Japanese vs American sizes; and also on the assumption that cup sizes tell you directly how large someone's bust is. In fact. And these are not literally sizes, but based on the difference in the person's body diameter as measured just under the breasts and as measured at their largest point (with slight differences in method, but close enough to compare.) So a statement like "Akeno [from Dx D] has a whopping 102 cm/40", which makes her at least an F-cup" makes no sense. A woman with a bust size of 102cm could be petite and incredibly stacked at 75H, or her size could be an unremarkable 90A.
I would fix this but I'm not going to spend hours researching and correcting canonical anime waifu breast size statistics, it's too much even for me. I will stop at explaining the problem and alerting all you fine troper people, in case someone is even more committed to having accurate waifu boob statistics than I am.
