Since the s, the anime industry has seen an influx of series set in middle or high schools, but in these past 10 to 15 years, shows set in schools have dominated the scene. But in the s, a lot of popular manga got turned into anime, and those manga tended to be based in schools. A couple of notable ones were Urusei Yatsura and Tachi.
So the demographics of people watching anime changed to middle and high school students. Production companies made shows that were more relatable for that age group. In , nearly 70 percent of kids ages 5 to 7 watched anime, making them the biggest consumers of the art form.
But 10 to year-olds are the second biggest viewers; nearly 50 percent of this demographic watch anime. So it's a classic example of supply meeting demand — a young viewership fuels the setting for many of these shows. A bloody nose is not often the image one would associate with sexual excitement. So nosebleeds are an exaggeration of that excitement. Manga artist Yasuji Tanioka is believed to be the first to introduce the motif with his early s manga Yasuji no Mettameta Gaki Dou Kouza.
Other manga artists adopted his technique, and soon everyone was sporting a bloody nose. But the science behind a bloody nose when aroused falls flat. According to Dr. Walking while eating is a fairly uncommon sight in Japan. In most works this happens more with male characters , but it can also happen to females. And it doesn't always mean that the person is aroused or thinking nonsense, simply because something may have caused an impact on their eyes or embarrassment, it is easy to notice that the person doesn't even have time to think and the nose starts to bleed.
The nosebleed is like a Japanese superstition, like that if you sneeze 1 time someone is saying something good about you, 2 something bad, 3 you have a cold. Some claim that the idea is that sexual arousal causes an increase in blood pressure, which in turn triggers a nosebleed. It is even true that blood pressure goes up, but it has nothing to do with nose.
It's like asking why cars explodes in moves and not in real life. Exaggeration and false assumptions. Might add, that I used to know a person that could simple get nose bleed through standing in the sun for 10 minutes. That's enough to start a reference such as this one.

This sounds like guesswork to me. I don't mean that as an insult: it sounds like really good guesswork I'm just also hoping to find some external source to provide some solid evidence about this in one direction.
But then Ikeda Chitose from Yuru Yuri has nosebleed precisely to point out she is a pervert and doesn't show much shame about it either. Beska unfortunately, i cannot provide any external source. This is something that has come to me after watching quite a lot of anime over the years.
What about Jiraiya? He used to get a nosebleed and he was a perv Lamppshading is pretty impressive at times. Show 1 more comment. According to Wikipedia : Male characters will develop a bloody nose around their female love interests typically to indicate arousal, which is a play on an old wives' tale. I am not sure if these are reliable source, though That's the problem I have. I mean everyone seems to "know" this I did as well.
And yet, when I asked someone Japanese about it far more likely to know about the cultural norms than me , they had no idea what I was talking about and were very adamant that it was not the case that it was sexual. This answer is basically just quotations from TVTropes, which is editable by anybody and is frequently wrong. It also does not contain any information that the asker did not already know.
As explained on MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia : Nosebleed can be caused by: Irritation due to allergies, colds, sneezing or sinus problems Very cold or dry air Blowing the nose very hard, or picking the nose Injury to nose, including a broken nose, or an object stuck in the nose Deviated septum Chemical irritants Overuse of decongestant nasal sprays Repeated nosebleeds may be a symptom of another disease such as high blood pressure, a bleeding disorder, or a tumor of the nose or sinuses.

Ever since Dragon Ball was first released, he has been used as a prime example of the nosebleed trope. His first bloody nose was caused by Bulma flashing him. Since then, he's usually the character that comes to mind when someone thinks about anime and nosebleeds.
One Piece 's Sanji is another example of a lecherous man getting them frequently. Another example of the anime nosebleed, albeit an extreme case, is Karin Maaka from Chibi Vampire. While not necessarily stemming from arousal, she has some of the heaviest nosebleeds in anime history.
Her waterfalls stem from the fact that she is a "reverse vampire," a vampire that produces an excess amount of blood rather than craving it. She targets unhappy people, and when she bites them, she gives them an injection of her blood, which brightens their moods.
While they are usually depicted as a normal red color, sometimes instead white steam is shown.
