It's been since last August that I've made any changes to the top rotation, and that one wasn't very big. It's getting to be about that time.
Tonight I went through the first two episodes of Strike Witches II and got some good ones. I'm going to continue working through the series, and there is a pretty long list of others I may visit. In the mean time, how about this one?
No? You guys are such spoilsports.
Seriously, there are a lot of images in SWII I can't possibly use, and I'm going to try to be reasonable about it. But there sure are a lot of nice pictures, too, and I'm not going to avoid things simply because they include panties. Everything in this series includes panties. For instance, this one I will use:
I don't consider that one particularly scandalous. In the mean time, here's a list of candidate series which might get included. It certainly won't be all of them.
Fight Ippatsu
Magipoka
G-On Riders
Kemeko
Kenkoo Zenrakei Suieibu Umisho
Moetan
Sora Kake Girl
11Eyes
Inukami
Sacred Blacksmith
Nogizaka Himitsu
Strike Witches 2
Akikan
Sora no Otoshimono
To Love Ru
Rio
Hayate the Combat butler
MM!
Shukufuku no Campanella
Angel Beats
The World only God Knows.
Infinite Stratos
High School of the Dead
Kore wa zombie desu ka
Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls
Today, in Class 5-2
Railgun OVA
Occult Academy
Some of these will be painful for me, since they're shows I really don't want to watch. So I'll be going through them without sound and with the subtitles turned off. And in some cases I may quit before going all the way through. I imagine that High School of the Dead and Occult Academy will be good for about two episodes each.

I'm not surprised at your exclusion of Freezing. I doubt if there's even 10 seconds in the last 9 episodes or so where panties are not flashed nor dresses punched off.

In the original OVA, each witch had an animal familiar, when when they wanted to use their power they merged with the familiar, and the ears and tail were a side effect of the merger.
When they did the first regular series, they decided that having 11 animals running around would be too complicated (and, likely, too expensive to draw):
Wilcke: gray wolf
Sakamoto: Doberman
Barkhorn: Wirehaired Pointer
Yeager: Jackrabbit
Perrine: Chartreux (a kind of house cat)
Bishop: Scottish Fold (another kind of house cat)
Hartmann: Dachshund
Lucchini: Panther
Eila: black Fox
Sanya: a black cat of some kind
Miyafuji: Shiba (a Japanese breed of dog)
So now the way it works is that whenever they activate their power, the ears and tail of their animal avatar appear on them. And they vanish again when they power down. There's also a peculiar musical sound that happens, and while they're powered up they are often surrounded by an aura.
It doesn't quite work the same way with Eila. She has essentially perfect precognition about ten seconds into the future, declining in accuracy as she looks further out, but when she's doing divination her ears and tail don't appear. And she's doing the short term thing pretty much all the time. When she's in combat she never uses a shield, because she knows where and when the Neuroi will fire, and isn't there when it happens.
But for the rest, that's what's going on.

In this picture you can see where Shirley's tail attaches:
It's in the small of the back, well above the pelvis.
