Top anims #71-82
If I was smart, I'd break this into two posts. Proof that I'm not.
Witches and Vampires, mostly! (Also an android, a demon, and a gun girl.)

So now it's 84 anims out of 2428 total, or about 3.5%. I think I can come up with a couple more out of the water-park episode of Zombie.

I think the second Kore Wa Zombie one where she's running would work better as a loop if it stopped before the camera change.
I do rather like Luccini's butt-shot. I wish it had been more in frame...

Having watched all of Strike Witches recently, I find S2 and the Movie to be significantly better than the premise should have ever allowed. Still, it's Yeager. She'd probably call those a full work outfit. And she'd probably be telling the truth.

The bouncing in some of those clips defies the laws of physics, and yet you don't seem to be suffering "refrigerator moments" over them...

Of course, when it changes from
sexy to
gross (e.g. Eiken) then the Rule of Sexy no longer applies. But Arresta is not over that line.

I've been curious about that show just based on some of the static shots, but I wasn't able to find it the last time I looked.

It's an interesting mix of fan service and a bit of horror. It contains several attempted suicides, which some people might find disturbing. And at one point Plug gets badly injured.
The first three episodes come off as rather frothy (though one of the attempted suicides is in that stretch) but when Rona shows up it starts getting serious.

By the way, Steven:
Followed your link to Rule of Sexy.
From there (for some reason) to Impossible Hourglass Figure.
Thence Film.
And there I tripped over a little item called
Sita Sings the Blues.
So... Thanks. I think. No, I'm pretty sure, thanks.

The story behind the making of Sita Sings the Blues is awesome too. tl;dr American intellectual property law is a cesspool of craziness.

I dunno. It wore out its welcome rather fast. About five minutes in, I started skipping and then I gave up. I'm not sure I'm up for 80 minutes of Nina Paley animation.

Fair enough. I got 45 minutes in before I had to take a break, but it is a bit much for a single sitting.
Did you make it to the first musical number? It's Annette Hanshaw's songs that really make it (though the other parts do start to come together into a single piece after a while).

As usual, below the fold. Most of these are from Senran Kagura.

Poor Mako just doesn't have what it takes to do that dance right. Maybe she needs to visit the Hanzou school and find out what they put in the water there.

I'm slightly transfixed by the Girls und Panzer dance anim.

I'd use it as an animated wallpaper, except I'd always be losing my train of thought.

Yet more top animations
I came up with four more out of Vividred Operation. I'm not posting them here because I assume that by this point you're all bored with that.
Let me know if I'm wrong.
UPDATE: OK, by (one) popular demand, they're below the fold.

I'd like to see them.
But the question is: is it all ass-shots, or is there some variety?

Eh, I watched most of Vividred, but the ass-shots weren't my thing. So, I like those animations. And the can-throw is a really good one.

I got one of the animations just now, a green-haired girl on a chocobo, from Dog Days.

Chooser 33
I added 6 more top anims but I'm only going to put two of them below the fold.
Chooser 33 (2400 images, 54 animated) has one small change: while it's waiting for material to come down from the server, it now displays a "Loading" busy-wait.
UPDATE: The Mouretsu Pirates anim is more than 100 frames, and the SWF is nearly 5 megabytes. And to get to that I clipped out a lot. Anyway, it loads slow, so be patient.

If I click the upper-left corner to reload, exactly 50% of the time I just get the "loading..." screen. Click again, get a picture, click again, get "loading...".

That seems to be a bug in certain versions of the Flash plugin. It doesn't happen in IE. It does happen in Firefox.
There isn't anything I can do about it. It's not my problem, so far as I know. The fact that it works as I want in IE and in the stand-alone Flash player suggests that I'm not doing anything wrong.
By the way, you can also click the lower right corner. It'll act exactly the same way except that it doesn't bring up the information frame. It won't fix the problem you're reporting, sadly.

Works flawlessly in my FFox browser, except for displaying "Aika R-16" as the title for the shiny button.

Top Anims #44-48
These are all from the last episode of Senran Kagura.
And with this, I think I've done enough for the time being. I may do more in a few days but I probably won't post them.
The official image count now is 2394, of which about 2% are animated.

This time it's Omamori Himari. I pretty much rewatched the whole show to find these, so it took about 4 hours.

The last one really is the best.
Say, now that I'm back up and running, would it be possible to do one for me? There was a thing I wanted to illustrate, but capping just the start and end states didn't work very well.

The freeze-then-swerve action on the second one is just weird.

I tried to do something about that one by omitting frames, but it didn't help.

If the animation itself does that--I've never seen that one before--then there's probably not much you can do. I assumed it was that way in the original. Just seems a bit jarring especially considering all the other animations you've been posting, which are a bit more fluid.

They can't all be perfect. Candidates are really rather rare in most anime and sometimes I pick some that are a bit less good, just because I like how they look.
There's also a "to hell with it" aspect to it all. When I've been combing through some show for two hours and nothing at all turns up, I'm inclined to be a bit more forgiving.

Why are title repositioned? It has something with truncation before final form?

I don't know what you're talking about. It's supposed to be on the second line, on the right hand side. When it's loaded for the top display, the top line on the right side says "Anims".

Re #2: the other candidate for the Aries Presidency was knocked off the top of his campaign truck by a roundhouse kick by Tomoe, and fell down and hit the pavement. Haruka and Chie are watching him fall.

I got my first one just now; the 4th of these.
Works well. I expected it to be more distracting. I have animated gifs and Flash turned off globally, and just whitelisted for certain sites (like this one), since I find animated bits too eye-catching when I'm trying to read non-animated things.
Maybe there's something different about a large block rather than a thin banner? Or maybe the smoother animation here is less eye-catching than your standard two-frame visual-klaxon ad...

With special guest Rouna the dojikko doggie girl maid. Who stops being dojikko when the knives start flying, especially since she's usually the one throwing them.
