* The very first anime to feature a lingerie scene was Toei Doga's ''[[Mahou no Mako-chan]],'' (1970). An updated version of Anderson's ''The Little Mermaid,'' the series' coming-of-age motif allowed the heroine to be [http://dc305.4shared.com/img/p-y0t419/s7/mako1.jpg depicted in her underwear] (and even nude in several episodes).
* Once the precedent had been set in ''Mako,'' the trope became a standard feature of early seventies anime. Teenaged girls were [http://dc305.4shared.com/img/USRCE8Va/s7/window2.jpg shown disrobing] on the flimsiest pretexts, ostensibly for comedic value (although the [[Fan Service]] element was blunt-force obvious to the casual observer). The gratuitous stripteases were toned down considerably after 1975 (probably due to the controversies surrounding [[Cutie Honey]]), although [[Panty Shot

** By the 1940s, hotblooded American troops were being entertained by the likes of Bill Ward's [http://dc198.4shared.com/img/5W4jRn6t/s7/0.5508564895554909/Torchy.jpg Torchy] and Milt Caniff's [http://dc299.4shared.com/img/iuzf4fjx/s7/0.414049851729393/MissLace.jpg Miss Lace] (presumably because flesh-and-blood women were unavailable on the frontline).
* In the US, lingerie scenes were effectively banned by the Comics Code in 1955, but fortunately, these restrictions [http://dc316.4shared.com/img/eM8wdK95/s7/S006.jpg didn't extend to the news industry]. Mainstream features like ''On Stage, Apartment 3-G'' and ''The Heart of Juliet Jones'' spiced up the melodrama with the occasional striptease.
* Meanwhile, back in Merry Old England, lingerie scenes were the main drawcard of the Sunday supplement. By the time ''Jane'' ended in 1959, Bond girls were [http://dc206.4shared.com/img/tuMv9nDy/s7/0.7382149490058713/S017a.jpg already appearing] in ''The Daily Express,'' and Jim Holdaway's ''Romeo Brown'' was being duped by [http://dc196.4shared.com/img/vOLpsYRD/s7/0.1689296119616397/S008.jpg scantily-clad seductresses].

* More recent examples: Vicki Vale's first appearance in ''[[All-Star Batman and Robin The Boy Wonder]]'' is her strutting around her apartment in frilly pink knickers. This lasts for about three pages. The author's commentary admits, "Okay, I'm shameless. Let's go for the ass shot."
