The Grab-Bag Assortment
Just a bunch of things to talk about in giantess news
Most people are familiar with the ads for the mobile game Hero Wars. Many of us will be familiar with the giantess-pandering ads (credit to GTS★HUG for this collection) for this game, likely.
But spend enough time on Instagram, and you'll find other games are playing with the Size Fantasy concept, intentionally or otherwise.
In this brief animated clip, a character called Tooth Fairy appears to prepare to swallow a smaller fairy whole. Does this happen in the game? Likely not, but you never know.
There's a game I like, Isekai: Slow Life, which isn't much of a game. You check in on certain events and collect items, then you watch the story unfold independent of your involvement. But the artwork's pretty, I have an unfortunate weakness for harem stories, and then once in a while something unusual sneaks into the story. In this case, my character used his powers to enlarge a fish tank to hold a wide selection of fish, and then...
As well, there was another sequence in which an amusement park was being built. I'm not clear on this, but I think the roller coaster was partly taken into the realm of dreams, creating a surreal environment, and then one of my "family" characters revealed this ability.
Then there's a first-person/sniper game called Giant Wanted. It's kind of slipshod: you can upgrade your weapons and ammo (some upgrades are comical), but it doesn't really matter as it's easy to score a headshot. You're going up against kaiju—giant men, Godzilla-like creatures, undefined monsters, and eventually enormous, shapely gorgons—hoping to take them down before they destroy too much of the city. But it's not a great game, and they released it with a major bug: there's a certain level that you don't move past when you complete it. Many people have reported this and the designers are uninterested in addressing it.
As well, there are some amateurish but whole-hearted Size Fantasy efforts going on YouTube that everyone should be aware of. It's impossible to tell if they are the results of the creators' passions or if they're specifically targeting Size Fantasy fans for oblique ends.
The first is Zoom Zoom, I believe from a Russian indie production group. There are multiple accounts for English, Turkish, Russian, and maybe other languages. The series is a bunch of cute little skits about a young man and woman in an undefined relationship. Could be friends, roommates, dating, or simply paired to have these adventures in which the guy (sometimes the woman) drinks a juice called "zoom zoom" that shrinks him down. They do goofy things like playing with toys and downsized stunts, as well as borderline sexually suggestive stuff like getting sat on by the woman or mild body exploration. They're just silly and you have to shut off your brain to watch them, the voiceover work is awful, but if you can enjoy them there are dozens and dozens of videos.
Another is H2O Giantess TV. This comes from an African nation, but I'm not experienced enough to discern which one, I apologize. Their tagline is "H2O Giantess Tv brings to you the best in Giantess videos, Giantess series, Giantess short film, and Giantess Entertainment," while their tagline on Pinterest is "We create Giantess videos to Entertain and Educate you." I don't know about education, but it's fascinating to watch these homebrewed videos with limited special effects and forced-perspective shots telling the story of arrogant tiny men, jealous girlfriends with magic powers, and simple fun and exploration of mixed-size relationships. Be sure to check out their Community tab in YouTube for video stills and images.
I'm sharing three channels from Japan, and I mention one of them strictly for posterity. It's called Giantess Family, and it makes me nervous because I don't know how young the young woman is in these videos. She could be 18, but she dresses like a kid and interacts with a tiny man, who I'm guessing is the mastermind behind these videos. There's no nudity but plenty of suggestive situations for people who are into that kind of thing. The videos in the YouTube account collection are all short, with frequent prompts to buy the longer versions through Patreon subscription.
The other channel I can talk about more freely is called I'm 10 cm, and it's lovely because not only are these POV productions from the tiny man's perspective, but they're all 360° videos! You can swing around and look at all the action and all the environment around you! This is great if you love travel and don't get out much, because a lot of these videos are touring shopping areas, watching your giant girlfriend play video games or eat, or other scenes of everyday life that take 10–20 minutes to play out. In these, she meets you and you start dating, which entails her carrying you around as she goes about her day. She reaches for you, threatens to stomp you, shows you around, and talks to you constantly, but eventually breaks up with you and abandons you in a mall. The preview images are much more suggestive than anything you'll see in the videos.
There's a much sillier channel called Kobito Kantoku (Dwarf Director), where forced perspective, POV, and greenscreen effects are used for little skits. Some involve a woman bullying her shrunken friend and stashing her in a dollhouse, another shows a giant woman on a rampage in the city, yet another is a young woman playing with the viewer with her feet (labeled an ASMR video). Videos are infrequent, but they did recently put out one where a woman shrinks down her female friend and playfully torments her. At times like this, it's very useful that YouTube provides a language translator for subtitles.
Lastly, this is an old and very short series put out by amateur comedians. I don't know whether Mini Boyfriend was a legitimate pilot or just a labor of love, but I'm guessing they gave up the dream because their dedicated website no longer exists. Still, someone bothered to save all three episodes (ep 1, ep 2, ep 3) so you can review them before they disappear again.
That's about it for now. I'm sure there are many other series going on out there, rising and falling like a seed caught in carbonated water. I wish luck to anyone who has the energy to complete such a project and the stones to share it with the world. Whatever may be said about these videos, it's better that they exist than to not exist.
