4->''"Every single movement just sends boobquakes, or ''waves'' of boobquakes all around the place, it's just... Why does it have to be so ''jelly''? I would very much prefer the boob jiggles if they were a ''bit'' less over-the-top because... *sigh* Those seem to be made of some kind of... well, corn starch liquid? Ehn. Jello. Jello everywhere."''
5-->-- '''WebVideo/{{Skallagrim}}''', playing ''VideoGame/SenranKagura''

7The technique of drawing a female character with [[BuxomBeautyStandard large, shapely, buoyant breasts]] and [[{{Vaporwear}} without a bra]], then animating every individual jiggle, sway, bounce and wobble they undergo.
8
9The motion displayed is often asynchronous -- each breast is animated separately and possesses its own individual movement. Their mass and elasticity may be so ridiculous that they [[ArtisticLicensePhysics defy physics]] by RuleOfSexy, lurching and heaving in ways that are unrealistic or outright impossible.
10
11Closely related to BoobBasedGag, as this may happen by RuleOfFunny as well as Rule of Sexy. If the animation is exaggerated or silly, it may be accentuated by StockSoundEffects to make it seems like a character's bouncing boobs are made of rubber or [[SpringsSpringsEverywhere propelled by springs]].
12
13Also known as Gainax Bounce or the Gainax Bounce Effect. The term was coined by fans some time before 1993 and makes reference to the anime production of Creator/StudioGainax, many of whose earlier releases made use of this particular variety of {{Fanservice}}. According to a Usenet post from 1993, one particular busty young woman from the Gainax anime ''Anime/OtakuNoVideo'' inspired a tongue-in-cheek unit of measurement for Gainaxing: one full bounce is apparently equal to one "Misty May".
14
15In RealLife, [[TruthInTelevision a woman's breasts can bounce or jostle]], usually as a result of physical activity and especially if they are large. However, this experience can be inconvenient, uncomfortable, or even painful. Compare DCupDistress when the SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome of this awkwardness is acknowledged.
16
17A PecFlex is a variant of this done by a muscular male character. For a show that exploits this to appeal to an audience, see JiggleShow. For real-time generation of jiggling movement in video games, see JigglePhysics.
18
19Do not confuse this with a GainaxEnding (where it's the individual parts of the viewer's brain that gets contorted in different directions).
20
21!Please do not add examples to work pages, this merely [[Administrivia/DefinitionOnlyPages defines the term]]. Put applicable examples in the following tropes instead:
22----
23* ArtisticLicenceAnatomy: Breasts moving in ways that are impossible in real life.
24* BoobBasedGag: The use of female breasts for comedy, rather than (or in addition to) {{Fanservice}}.
25* JigglePhysics: The simulation of the behavior of non-rigid objects and materials in a computer.
26* JiggleShow: {{Fanservice}}-based shows from TheSeventies that often involve jiggling breasts, particularly due to a lack of bras, and often also slow motion.
