It is used to express general excitement rather than arousal. Pokemon 's Brock is a good example of this alternate version. Many times, the blood is censored for international audiences, and steam is used instead. So, how possible is it to get a nosebleed from sexual arousal? To answer this, let's look at the two most common causes. The first is nose picking, and the second is being exposed to dry air for extended periods of time. The second reason is why they are more common during the winter months.
High blood pressure is another cause of nosebleeds. There is also anecdotal evidence of people who have gotten them from having overly zealous sex. On a scientific level, however, there is no evidence for sex-caused nosebleeds. Kouichirou Kanaya , who is an ear, nose and throat specialist, says in a NicoNico News interview that while high blood pressure and an increase in heart rate are definitely caused by sex, nosebleeds are something that have no connection to it.
In short, an average person cannot get a nosebleed from having sex. There is evidence, though, that men who take performance-enhancing drugs such as Viagra can have nosebleeds as a result of the increased blood flow. Overall, the nosebleed trope in manga and anime is a perfect way to express the pent-up hormones of teenagers and lecherous men and sometimes women , even if it has no basis in science.
Unless someone is taking specific medication that induces a bloody nose as a side effect, the likelihood of someone getting one from excitement or arousal is slim to none.
That doesn't mean we can't laugh when it happens to a character because they got too excited because they saw a pair of panties, though, or when a vampire produces a waterfall of blood instead of consuming it.
Molly Kishikawa is an American artist living in Japan. Starting with the original broadcast of Sailor Moon on Toonami, she has been an avid anime fan since. Living in Japan for two years, she has seen first-hand how the country views anime and manga. By Molly Kishikawa Published Nov 14, Ah, yes. Those big, sparkly saucers that seem endless are a trait most often seen in anime marketed for girls, and started in the s with manga.
Some interpretations have suggested that these large eyes indicate a Japanese fixation on Western beauty trends, along with pointy chins and pale skin.
But animation historian Nobuyuki Tsugata suggested it was more for the purpose of emotional communication. For anime, eyes serve a similar purpose. Frieda , which famously lasted 20 episodes and is the longest fight scene in anime shonen history.
So, why the name-calling? In feudal Japan, it was customary to state samurai names and hometowns to know who had been defeated on the battlefield. It was a necessary form of proof to show one had defeated his opponent, as well as a chance to bask in glory. Anime artists adopt a similar technique, borrowing from tradition. Everyone loves a good teen drama.
Since the s, the anime industry has seen an influx of series set in middle or high schools, but in these past 10 to 15 years, shows set in schools have dominated the scene. But in the s, a lot of popular manga got turned into anime, and those manga tended to be based in schools. A couple of notable ones were Urusei Yatsura and Tachi. So the demographics of people watching anime changed to middle and high school students. Production companies made shows that were more relatable for that age group.
In , nearly 70 percent of kids ages 5 to 7 watched anime, making them the biggest consumers of the art form. But 10 to year-olds are the second biggest viewers; nearly 50 percent of this demographic watch anime.
So it's a classic example of supply meeting demand — a young viewership fuels the setting for many of these shows.
A bloody nose is not often the image one would associate with sexual excitement. So nosebleeds are an exaggeration of that excitement. Manga artist Yasuji Tanioka is believed to be the first to introduce the motif with his early s manga Yasuji no Mettameta Gaki Dou Kouza. Other manga artists adopted his technique, and soon everyone was sporting a bloody nose.
But the science behind a bloody nose when aroused falls flat. According to Dr. Walking while eating is a fairly uncommon sight in Japan. But in anime, all manners are thrown to the wind — characters will run out of the house with a slice of toast hanging from their mouths. Others think it started a few years later in , from the manga Tsuraize!
Boku Chan , a romance series by Ryouko Takahashi. Japanese anime are not the only cartoons to depict characters overeating. Notably, Popeye the Sailor binged spinach.
