Top rotation -- getting old

The last time I updated the top rotation, it had been a year since the time before. That's really too long. And I'm starting to get tired of pictures from Ai Yori Aoshi (except for the pictures of Taeko), and even more of Dokkaida and Aria.

So I've been kind of fitfully collecting pictures to update the top rotation. I'm not really ready yet, but I've got quite a few.

I've got maybe 20 from Kaze no Stigma, and another 20 from Dragonaut, and about 40 from the second volume of Kenichi, and 50 or so from Macademi Wasshoi, and 17 from Saki. (How many pictures of Nodoka can I use, really?) There's also 25 from Shrine of the Morning Mists. And tonight I collected about 65 from Real Bout High School.

That's not enough, though. That's not even 250. The current top rotation is 734 images. So I'm going to have to do a lot more, and probably that means I'll have to dip into fansubs some more.

I'm going to be doing Strike Witches, and I simply have to get at least a few from Exercising with Hinako. It'll be tough, but I may be able to find a few worthwhile images in the first two episodes of Aika Zero that aren't too ecchi. And there are some other things I might be able to use.

I was hoping that the full-season BD of Burst Angel would be good for a few, but it looks like manipulating full-resolution M2TS files is a problem. It may only be possible if I process and recode them, and that's a lot of effort.

So it won't be yet, but when I reach the point where I have no more ideas for things to do, I'll go with what I have. It may not be another 80% replacement like the last one.

Some of the grabs I took from Real Bout High School aren't really appropriate for the top rotation. There were two from the very end that I really really want to use, but I can't. I've put them below the fold.

Think I should use them?

1 Sadly, I have to say no.

2 How about some  images from past rotations?  After all, they say that that classics never go out of style...

3 I've thought of that, and I might do it. I'm not sure how far back my backups go, though. I might have to search through some USB drives I haven't turned on in a long time.

4 I'd miss the Aria images if you got rid of them, perhaps you can keep a few.  I'd love to see some Ah! My Goddess images come back if you decide to bring back older images.
