With both the Ultraman mentions and the inherent fetishistic aspect, I'm a bit surprised there was no mention of the What if Ultraman But Also Porn Actress? that is Hiroya Oku's Gigant (I guess the anime was only just announced last month). Or Jungle de Ikou for that matter, that one had an, ahem, outsized presence back in the day.

Also, between Simoun last week and now Valkyrie Drive, it feels like someone's been snooping my Google Sheets, as those are the next two shows in my backlog queue. :p

I realize few are watching The Classroom of a Black Cat and a Witch, running currently, but it does feature a fairly adorable side character who can become a giantess.

Since it's a very recent title, I'm surprised no mention was made of Chained Soldier, since one of its core members can take on giant(ess) form.

And wasn't there a giantess or two in the original Macross? Or were only male Zentreadi shown in giant form? (Been a long time since I've watched it.)

Lap Lamiz was shown at full size, while the famous scene in Do You Remember Love ends with the reveal of Milia’s face.

That said it was the sequels that got more confident showing full size Meltrans next to humans. It’s gotten more common as time has gone on, hasn’t it?

I remember this one series where these 3 girls get ultraman style powers to turn into giant heroes but as their power runs out there clothes gradually disappear with them getting stronger the more embarrassed they get. I do not remember the name but it was pretty wild.

Man, that Giganta is such a downgrade form the DCAU version.

Diane is the only giantess I really like. Not into it as a fetish myself but she's cute.

I read through the article hoping to see Macross brought up, but I suppose this point might help explain why it wasn't. (Of course, the sequels might have be easier to bring up right now given they're at least streaming on Disney+...)
