    I'm wondering why does people always refer Lina as "no-cleavage". I think her size looks normal. Does she have to have Nahga's impossible bust size to have "cleavage"? :mad:

    I can't really speak as the creator or whatnot, but I believe it's all from Lina's perspective. After all, she's the one who freaks when anyone brings up bust size. I think they may bring it up just because they're pulling from such a negative reaction from here...

    Does she have to be a Naga? Heck no. But I mean, she's even jealous of the younger Amelia... it would seem Lina's the one who would think she feels inadequate...

    BakaMattSu, and I'll shut up now before all you girls bash me... :p

    It may just be a plot device to instigate the poor girl into french frying bandits. Although, she's petite, she just sees it as a bad thing. Then the fact that everybody comments about it just kinda pushes her over the deep end.

    I'll be quiet along with Baka before I stick my foot deeper down my gullet.

    BTW, is it me or does Nagi sound EAXCTLY like Kuno Kodachi? Do they have the same seiyuu, or is it just they're both so high pitched it sounds the same?

    I'm perturbed about this too. I find Lina's breast size to be just fine. I mean they are well-defined and cough cough. She's just an animated character, people! but of course. umm I can't think of any other characters, but I remember a few others that had fine umm chests and were teased for being flat... well, maybe Cherry, but Lina's are better then hers. Breasts aren't everything. such a touchy subject...

    I'd say it's more of a humor thing... If you look at her, the way they draw them SEEMS very VERY small.

    Just an artist-wannabe's perspective of it...

    I don't really agree, if you look at Linna, she's a very small person too...isn't she like shorter and skinnier then Amelia?? I dunno

    I kinda disagree..
    if you remember the first episode with gourry... she didn't say anything about it.. she even thought being petite and having really big round eyes was a good thing.. :confused:

    I suppose it's a possibility that it's only Lina's opinion... of herself being petite and all..

    ..but don't forget. A lot of times, people (especially Gourry) first come up with the topic that she's "flat-chested", and that she gets furious with those commends. Strange how they always point Lina out that way ~_~

    Not always... sometimes its "Lina, the Dragon Spooker" or "Lina, the Bandit Killer" (or "Robbers Killer"...lol) I don't believe she gets referenced for being kidlike except for Gourry in the first half of Slayers, and Naga (who just seems to enjoy ticking her off)...


    Bandit: "Please Miss Inverse, I'll amend my ways, and you can do what you want to me....but PLEASE spare my Children...Pleease!!"

    Lina: Ehh?!

    Isn't Gourry the only one that is ever stupid enough to mention Lina's bust size constantly? Of course, I'm talking about Gourry here...

    Naw.

    Naga seems to get a kick out of belittling Lina, so it comes naturally.

    A number of bandits make their very last mistake of mentioning her proportions.

    And even though she never makes comments or flaunts, the mere sight of Amelia's endowments seems to perturb Miss Inverse on some occassions...

    Gourry - "Gee, Lina, the way your stomach bulges out makes your breasts look even smaller!"

    Line - "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?!?!"

    Well yes I agree that it's all from Lina's point of view. It's like how everyone is though. They want to be different.
