Muscle In Anime

redkage · #1 December 4th, 2006, 10:12 PM

Heya, just wanted to share a little anime I found on youtube. It's about boxing, and they have some muscle content. But to get to the point, here's the good shower scene.

Oh, Ippo-kun!

This anime is Hajime no Ippo and it's available in the states on DVD as Fighting Spirit. As it is a boxing anime (no card collecting or tentacles or magical girls) there is plenty of muscle. I suspect someone on the staff is either gay or thinking about us gays because there is a lot of muscle fan service. The story, however, is what really clenches things.

Ippo is a high school guy who gets bullied a lot until one day he meets a champion boxer who gets him interested in boxing. From there we see Ippo train and make his way in the sport.

The series is nice and long with at least 100 episodes and a heavy focus on complex character development. There are no absolute villains except for one or two throw away characters. I love the fact that Ippo has to fight real people with real goals. This show has all the stuff that they never bother with in the butchered kids anime that gets dumped on American airwaves. It's a great show for those who are only used to anime stereotypes.

And, don't forget, that it's full of musclemen.

You should definitely check out Grappler Baki/Baki the Grappeler too.

..and while it's silly at first look, Ultimate Muscle/Kinnikuman Nisei is actually a great series. Ultimate Muscle is the sequel to the original 80's series Kinnikuman. Kinnikuman's story starts out silly and comedic but becomes more and more serious in the later episodes especially in the Golden Mask arc.

At first I looked at ultimate muscle for a bit, but after awhile it kinda died out on me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's BAD, but I draw the line between what's funny and what's just plain stupid

There's a difference between looking at a single picture and watching an entire episode. Of course I do admit the main char. looks silly but I liked him more and more after a long while. Of course he's not my fav. char. in the series. My fav. char. is Brocken, a Nazi (yes Nazi) who is actually good at heart and has a great bod underneath his military costume (you rarely see him shirtless). His father was one of the villains in the original Kinnikuman series.

I did watch quite a bit in, and I do agree with you on Brocken, but for me it just got a little corny somewhere and I fell outta it.

Oo I like what I see here! I almost feel like taking a frame from that and morphing it! You all know what one I mean. Although if someone knows where I can find an uncensored version of 'that scene' I'd be real happy.

redkage · #8 December 13th, 2006, 05:09 PM

Here's Tenjou Tenge, another anime that has some muscle in it. Just about every person in this anime is ripped, and there's a huge wrestler in an earlier episode. Someone posted another clip from this anime featuring a guy growing so huge that he has to crouch down to fit in the room.

The scene to look at is about 30 seconds in.

vlad · #9 December 13th, 2006, 07:17 PM

two things:

firstly, I'm going over to Japan during the second half of January, and i'm definitely going to try to find some muscle yaoi or magazines if I can. Any recommendations other than G-Men?

secondly, I remember an episode of Rurouni Kenshin with a cute sumo guy. He was being bullied by the bigger, older sumos, but Kenshin tought him to have confidence. It's quite a hot episode with lots of muscular sumos! ha, what do you know, I found the episode on Youtube! Man, I know we've all said it before but...I love Youtube.

good to see some anime fans on here, btw.

Yachirobi · #10 December 13th, 2006, 08:43 PM

Tenjou Tenge is in my Blockbuster que. I'll check it out on YouTube but since the show is available stateside I can't really condone it being pirated. But I have to peek. That clip was too fucking hot.

EDIT: Scratch that a little bit. I may reconsider because this looks too much like a standard fight-fight-fight anime like Dragonball and I don't like that type.

Mad Dog · #11 December 13th, 2006, 11:27 PM

Fullmetal Alchemist has a lot of brawny, muscular guys. Alex Louis Armstrong, in particular. :3

CelticMuscle · #12 December 14th, 2006, 02:04 AM

redkage · #13 December 15th, 2006, 10:07 AM

Not only is Full Metal Alchemist's Armstrong buff, but he loves to show them muscles off as well! Here are two of my favs:

Friendship through muscles (4 mins, 30 secs in):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNVFgTziibI

Now touch my muscles and feel! (1 min in):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVAS-KgiqFE

Also, there's a nice shirt ripping scene in the movie, Castle in the Sky.

Extremely poor quality, far into the clip:

agreatguy6 · #14 December 15th, 2006, 05:37 PM

Fist of the North Star has some hawt muscle growth, but unfortunately, I can't find it. I know that it's in the 40th somethin min. of AMV Hell 3: The Motion Picture (a huge 700mb film, sorry!) so you can watch that if you want (the whole thing's funny, so I'd sit through it.)

Hey you're right Redkage! Excuse me while I go clean up!

Yachirobi · #16 December 18th, 2006, 07:08 PM

Why didn't I think to bring it up? The ripping in that clip of Castle of the Wind (if you have not seen it, see it NOW, and not via that lame pirate copy and not just because of the muscle) starts around 9 minutes and 45 seconds in.

I honestly tried to look for a good quality version of that clip, but youtube banned all of 'Castle in the Sky' except that one.

Boy YouTube's quick on the smackdown these days. Good thing I've seen these clips before though. Armstrong is anime's ambassador of muscle.

I would like to see that clip with the guy growing huge really huge. Anyone know what episode that clip was in?

Mad Dog · #20 December 29th, 2006, 02:05 AM

In the second episode of Nerima Daikon Brothers, their muscles grow due to super Korean kimchee. :P

I found it on YouTube. It was cute how his muscles were pulsating after they broke out of the pot. But it was more cartoonish. I like the growths that get really detailed. Gonna hunt for some more. I hope I am posting the link for this correctly.

TheMM · #22 December 29th, 2006, 10:36 AM

You linked it correctly. About how far in is the MG? So incase we don't feel like watching it all the way through.

EDIT: Watched it, it's about 5:30 into it as well as about 6:50-thru the end, although I do agree, it is a lil cartoony (and strangely hot).

Yachirobi · #23 December 29th, 2006, 04:50 PM

Too bad the muscle growth wasn't the usual clothes ripping feast but it was still nice. But I'll have to check out that show. Daikon Bros. looks like fun.

^---Tenjou Tenge

I remember I wanted to post of a clip like that and I never did or I dont think I did... I'm going to see if I can find it again. It was actually a pretty good muscle growth scene.

Edit:

Well I found the wrestler Redkage was talking about earlier... you can see him here, if you keep watching episode 6+7 you can see him in action. I think theres another scene of him earlier in the show with his wrestling club, don't remember if it was to good or even worth really seeing, it might have been a quick blurb. Still looking for the growth scene though.

The first part of episode 6 can be found here:

Yachirobi · #26 January 13th, 2007, 08:00 AM

I have no idea what that Inukami show is supposed to be about (Dog God? Weird.) but here's another clip that explains the "perverted ED" that Roxato posted above.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x7UREvMBHI

It's very weird but you might find it stimulating.

Hehe, yeah, that episode's sort of a Nausicaa spoof.

The main character of "Zone of the Enders: Dolores, I" has a nice body, and there's a couple of side characters with beefy bods, too.

I think the first or second episode of that series had two of the characters showing off their bods. James Links, the main character (an oyaji or daddy type which is unusual for a lead anime character) gets into a fight with a martian gangster. James shrugs off his coat and the gangster rips open his suit. There aren't a lot of moments like that in the series since it's a mecha anime but they're nice. I also happen to like both the sub and the dub of this series which I unusual for me (Generally I HATE dubbing for anything other than bad kung fu movies but I digress)

This is a little off topic but when I saw this animated GIF I couldn't help but think about it being followed up with a full body experience to match.

I believe it comes from the anime Golden Boy but I'm not sure. I know it's something I've seen before, though.

omelissokomos · #31 January 21st, 2007, 01:26 AM

Gee, Yachi. That's swell.

Teenboy069 · #33 January 21st, 2007, 03:42 PM

Going back to Inukami here's a special version of the ending http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAgb1DGrngk

It's a harem/comedy anime and of course with the gratuitous amounts of female fanservice that it does have it unusually has lots of running gags about "Macho" guys.

redkage · #34 January 29th, 2007, 10:05 PM

It's time I add my two cents to my own thread again after a very very VERY long hiatus from the internet.

Yakitate Japan, a strange yet funny anime about bread making. There are very few muscle content, but it's nice enough I guess. There is one guy who worked so hard on building his arms that they stretched disproportionably thick and long that he can actually walk on them while supporting two other people.

Training at the gym: content at 2:40, 3:00 amd 3:20.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyeYj0gox0U

Not very buff, but ripped and one wearing a loincloth.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-GQoSUfUUo

Features a guy who worked his arms so much that they grew 3 meters long. 2:00 mins in.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_MFaJm6__4

Ihchinek, an anime i just found tonight actually. It looks rather promising, being a fighting type anime, and it's a comedy to boot. Musclemen dotted throughout the clip, but I liked the preview at the end myself.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j7OuyEqdt4

Teenboy069 · #35 January 31st, 2007, 03:34 PM

Someone's given you the wrong title, its not actually called ichinek its called Shijou saikyou no deshi kenichi, or History's strongest disciple kenichi.

I stand corrected. I merely posted the name that was the youtube video file was under.

kirby_freak15 · #37 February 1st, 2007, 08:25 AM

oh, they were posting the name in backwards...for fun i guess? ihcinek = kenichi :P

redkage · #38 February 1st, 2007, 08:34 AM

Maybe they didn't want the people at youtube to take it down or something, so they listed it under a new name.....or something like that, since when I checked out the other episodes listed under the real name, they were banned.

Teenboy069 · #39 February 1st, 2007, 12:25 PM

How weird.. youtube are normally super-lax when it comes to taking down anime episodes. Anyway another anime with a good amount of hotness is One Piece... Got Zoro, Smoker and Ace.. and pretty much EVERY sport anime will have a few buff guys even if theyre only side characters at some point (since most sports anime tend to be never-ending....)

I would actually love to see more penis growth involved with muscle growth. I mean come one these guys can't get all freaky big and strut around with a little winky! WOuld love to see anime's with lots of penis growth in them.
