I just ran through Indian Summer looking for top rotation frame grabs. There were some obviously marvelous scenes I couldn't use (e.g. bathhouse) but there are some I'm tempted to use which seem borderline. So below the fold there are six, and I'd like to know whether you think they're too ecchi to be used in the top rotation.

Potentially NSFW, of course.

UPDATE: A commenter over at Don's noted that the images he'd grabbed from my top rotation were heavy on the hooters, as it were. She wondered if that was the norm for anime, or an indication of my tastes. My answer:

Um, both, really.

Over the years my top rotation has varied quite a lot, and there was one period when it had a lot of prepubescent girls in it (Card Captor Sakura, Sugar, Petite Princess Yucie) and I found that watching it made me uncomfortable. If you’re not into anime, you may not know the term “lolicon”, but anyway, it seemed to imply that I was a lolicon.

So the last couple three times I’ve updated the top rotation I’ve tried to stick with frame grabs of characters who were definitely women, not girls.

But it’s also the case that in general women in anime are built rather better (as it were) than real humans nearly ever are. Especially in the kinds of shows I tend to watch, and thus have available for taking frame grabs.

She got me to thinking. The current top rotation has a lot of pictures of Rushuna from Grenadier and Nene from Kirameki Project, and they skew the average, I think. But I'm the one who chose them.

Have I been overcompensating with the hooter shots in the top rotation?

UPDATE: For the next round it's going to be a mix. I've got pictures of Nanoha and Fate from MSLN and A's, and of Pyun and Potaro (who are just too wonderful to leave out) from Punie-chan. And most of the girls from Negima!? are not top heavy.

On the other hand, there's also a lot of pictures of Tina and Taeko from Ai Yori Aoshi, Nerloid Girl from Dokkoida, and Matsuri from Rocket Girls. And most of the girls from Ah, my Buddha are top heavy.

UPDATE: Also Miu, from Kenichi. How could I forget her?

The last one isn't unclothed but, well, "symmetrical docking"...
