The popular post has been viewed over 2.5 million times and has prompted many to share their favorite curvier characters. Although older favorites were also mentioned, there seems to be a trend of \u201cthigh inflation\u201d recently.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post entitled \u201cclassification by thighs\u201d shows a simple list with \u201cthin\u201d on one side and \u201cthick\u201d on the other. The OP has drawn several anime and video game girls who have bigger thighs on the right but no-one on the \u201cthin\u201d side of the list.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u592a\u3082\u3082\u5206\u985e <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6UI05WWARK\">pic.twitter.com\/6UI05WWARK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; tenten (@tentenchan2525) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tentenchan2525\/status\/1756294129473224995?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 10, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The post attracted an outpouring of comments. Of course, there are many characters with thin legs out there, but there also seems to be a vocal audience of fans who prefer the curvier ones. Recent examples from anime include Secelia Dote from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury (2022) and Rikka Takarada from SSSS.GRIDMAN. Rikka&#8217;s design was actually changed to give her bigger thighs in the 2023 GRIDMAN UNIVERSE movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"883\" height=\"877\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 883px) 100vw, 883px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240216-27268-003.png\" alt=\"SSS Gridman Universe Rikka thighs\" class=\"wp-image-27283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240216-27268-003.png 883w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240216-27268-003-380x377.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240216-27268-003-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240216-27268-003-768x763.png 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240216-27268-003-109x109.png 109w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240216-27268-003-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240216-27268-003-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240216-27268-003-600x596.png 600w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Rikka (center) in GRIDMAN UNIVERSE<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u6c34\u661f\u306e\u9b54\u5973\u306e\u30bb\u30bb\u30ea\u30a2\u3055\u3093\u3082\u3044\u3044\u305e\uff01 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QkEVCEenDg\">pic.twitter.com\/QkEVCEenDg<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u597d\u304d\u306e\u30b7\u30f3\u30fb\u30ab\u30ef\u30a6\u30c1 (@anime_kawauchi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/anime_kawauchi\/status\/1756303222548189647?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 10, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>Post Translation:<\/strong> Secelia from The Witch from Mercury is also good!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u306a\u308b\u307b\u3069\u3002\u592a\u3082\u3082\u306f\u592a\u3044\u304b\u3089\u592a\u3082\u3082\u3063\u3066\u3044\u3046\u306e\u304b\u3002\u3044\u3044\u3088\u306a\u30e9\u30a4\u30b6\u306e\u592a\u3082\u3082\u306f\u3088<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E5%A4%AA%E3%82%82%E3%82%82%E3%81%AF%E5%A4%AA%E3%81%84%E3%81%8B%E3%82%89%E5%A4%AA%E3%82%82%E3%82%82%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%81%84%E3%81%86%E3%82%93%E3%81%A0%E3%82%88?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u592a\u3082\u3082\u306f\u592a\u3044\u304b\u3089\u592a\u3082\u3082\u3063\u3066\u3044\u3046\u3093\u3060\u3088<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eBlGA1vrMQ\">pic.twitter.com\/eBlGA1vrMQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Kiria (@KkKiria) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KkKiria\/status\/1755433005613736282?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 8, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>Post Translation: <\/strong>I see.
