* [[Pretty Cure|Cures]] [[Futari wa Pretty Cure|Black]], [[Yes! Pretty Cure 5|Dream]] (and [[Evil Twin|Dark Dream]]), Milky Rose, [[Fresh Pretty Cure|Berry]], [[Heartcatch Pretty Cure|Sunshine]], and [[Suite Pretty Cure|Melody]].
** However, Cure Black's outfit in ''Max Heart'' covered her midriff, causing no small amount of [[Flame War|consternation]] in some [[Periphery Demographic|parts of the fanbase.]]
** Cure Dream also covers up in ''Go!Go!'', but that seems to be a consequence of [[Frilly Upgrade|the dresses' new layer]].
* Subaru's Barrier Jacket and all of Arf's outfits in ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]''. Also,
* [[Hitman with a Heart|Kurausoras']] outfit during her final duel with [[Little Miss Badass|Argent]] in ''[[Iono the Fanatics]]''.
* Tokiko's swimsuit in ''[[Busou Renkin]]''. Much to her displeasure.
** [[Fan Service|She's the only one]].
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has one of these somewhere, amidst all the other various forms of [[Fan Service]].{{verify|reason=Actual Playboy Bunny outfits nerver had bare midriffs. Does this example refer to something else, or does it belong on a different page?}}
{{quote|'''[[Hot Chick with a Sword|Setsuna]]:''' [[Weasel Mascot|Chamo]]! What's the meaning of [[Playboy Bunny|this]]!?
'''[[Dirty Old Man|Chamo]]:''' It's a costume. It looks good too.
Line 72:
* Faye Valentine and Ed from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]''.
* ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]'' makes it very clear this is not "[[Present Day Present Time]]!" when you see Lain's friends in midriff-baring outfits, smoking and drinking at the club.
* In ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', Ves Ves, Cere Cere, and Jun Jun (known better in the anime as Besu Besu, Cele Cele, and Jun Jun) of the
** The Sailor Starlights and a good chuck of the female [[Monster of the Week|Monsters of the Week]] do this too.
** Early concept art which had the [https://web.archive.org/web/20111107163905/http://mangastyle.net/materials/mat-03.jpg original] [https://web.archive.org/web/20111107164910/http://mangastyle.net/materials/mat-02.jpg five] with more individual costumes, had this for all of them save Mercury. Moon and Venus with shirts that stopped just short of the belts, Mars with a similar one, though the material was long in the front to pass the waist, and Jupiter going all out with basically a halter-top and the V-waistline.
Line 79:
** The outfits of both Lily C. Sherbet and Anise Azeat of the Rune Angel Troupe.
* Obviously, Lum from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'', whose [[Memetic Outfit]] is a tiger-print ''bikini'''.
* Weda from ''[[
** Villagers Rebecca and Addy wear midriff-baring outfits as well.
** Played with by Guu herself. She always wears the same long pink skirt and yellow tube top, but it only shows off her midriff in her adult-form.
Line 112:
** Also, Amelda/Alister.
** Tea and Mai wear outfits that do this too. [[Ms. Fanservice|Mostly Mai.]]
* Another male example would be ''[[Shugo Chara]]''{{'}}s Ikuto's first Character Transformation.
** Also, Amu's Amulet Heart {{spoiler|and Amulet Devil}}
* Both Yunyun and Alphard from ''[[Canaan]]'' dress this way, although in Yunyun's case it stresses her tomboyish nature, whereas with Alphard it is used more to emphasize her extreme [[badass]]ery.
Line 127:
*** {{spoiler|Wendy and Mirajane on other does expose their in the anime while Lucy doesn't}}
*** And if it not exposed already [[Clothing Damage|it will be]].
* Somewhat [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'': The ship from Chizeta is full of young women wearing such an outfit. When Umi is captured, since her clothes disappear (
* ''[[Hellsing]]''{{'}}s Doktor, who, apart from being a male example, is also a Nazi. What is most disturbing to fans is that he pulls it off remarkably well.
* Shirin from ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka de]]'' wears a midriff-baring kind of outfit.
* Zakuro and Kisshu from ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' fit this trope a little too much.
Line 146:
* While the girls of ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]'' don't seem to wear these in the main story outside of swimsuits, Nobue and Miu do on some episode pages and interstitial pages.
* In ''[[Gakuen Alice]]'', the main character (10 years old) has a midriff-baring cheerleader's costume in the OP, and bared it again in a [[I Dream of Jeannie]]-style [http://c2.sankakustatic.com/data/sample/59/2d/preview592d72fad78941712b23b69803a6c93d.jpg costume]{{Dead link}} for the [[School Festival]].

** Misaki Suzuhara did not bare her midriff in the anime, but she bared with her another swimsuit in the official anime picture that shows a group picture of her, Tamayo, Hatoko, Sai, and Kaede in their swimsuits.
Line 153:
* Urd, Peorth, and Hild's loli form in ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' have all worn midriff-baring outfits.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131218221235/http://www.cyberpunkreview.com/images/bubblegum-crisis09.jpg This outfit] worn by Sylia Stingray in the ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' OVAs, sometimes with a suit jacket over it. The first episode was released in 1987, but with the passage of time her fashion starts looking less and less ridiculous.
* Tsume from ''[[Wolf'
* Lisa Sakakino from ''[[éX-Driver]]''.
* In ''[[Eureka Seven]]'', Gidget, Hilda and Talho all have outfits that bare their midriffs to various degrees. Talho, however, switches to a full-body costume later on.
* ''[[Yumekui Merry]]'': Merry, one of the more recent examples. Notable in that they're not trying to "sneak" anything past the radar—in fact, the animators appear to be actively trying to put in as many shots of Merry's bellybutton as they can.
Line 160:
* Runo Misaki and Julie Makimoto in the first series of ''[[Bakugan]]''.
** Julie continues to do it still.
* ''[[Mitsudomoe]]'' clearly has a crowning moment of awesome where this trope is demonstrated [https://web.archive.org/web/20111111003542/http://img4.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/safe-ix/mitsudo-moe-loli-sentai-mecha-anime-image-gallery-010.jpg on] [http://img1.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/safe-ix/mitsudo-moe-loli-sentai-mecha-anime-image-gallery-026.jpg several]{{Dead link}} [http://img2.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/safe-ix/mitsudo-moe-loli-sentai-mecha-anime-image-gallery-047.jpg extremely]{{Dead link}} [http://img1.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/safe-ix/mitsudo-moe-loli-sentai-mecha-anime-image-gallery-048.jpg memorable]{{Dead link}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20111110235955/http://img4.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/safe-ix/mitsudo-moe-loli-sentai-mecha-anime-image-gallery-050.jpg occasions].
