On to the segment of the show where I talk about ways to get nudity to characters it doesn't happen to, it's time to ask How Do We Do It?
Today we're looking at a show that's shown up once or twice around these parts, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Now, one thing to consider is that this show is a little bland, but I'll do my best.
How does one add the element of female nudity to this show and make it seem organic and humorous and not just sexy? Well, I already covered that the animators seem to think their representations of the two are sexy, so how do we mitigate that? The answer, I think, lies in a simple bathing scenario, something the girls might to for fun.
The two seem to live on their tour bus, and since they don't get a lot of business in Japan, they might come to miss the place. As such, they might try and find ways for their bus to resemble their homes back in Japan, so I suspect they might have a Japanese furo as part of their bathing arrangements. Those are often done for relaxation as well, so they can be used for time off.
Something I see happening is perhaps the two get covered in gunk as part of the episode, then we see them clean off in the furo while they have their end-of-episode friendship talk, all while something unfortunate happens to Kaz in the background. There's also a chance that Harmony could appear while they bathe suddenly showing up in the tub to announce her fan status. That kinda thing.
Also, something a lot of 2000's cartoons liked to do is some kinda "character has to get to safe spot while naked and avoiding detection" plot. Dexter's Lab did it, Fairly OddParents did it, even The Simpsons did it. So maybe Ami and Yumi could get stuck outside an onsen in just their towels and have to get to the bus or find something to wear without being caught. Maybe they could lose them, too and be caught onstage naked...
Suddenly I wanna do that with an artist. We'll see...
