History Main / DangerouslyShortSkirt

* ''HighSchoolOfTheDead'' is a famous example, where ''every'' ActionGirl has a skirt. Unlike most examples, it leads to a lot of unnecessary and uncomfortable {{Fanservice}}, particularly in the anime.
* ''Any'' of the girls in ''IkkiTousen'', but they have the same [[{{Narm}} problem]] as the girls in ''HighSchoolOfTheDead''.

* ''CowboyBebop'' has Faye Valentine with her miniskirt.

* [[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ino_Part_II.jpg Ino]] on ''{{Naruto}}'' definitely has a short skirt, however she wears bandages under it, so no PantyShot. Temari (who is far more of an ActionGirl) could qualify as this as well, with all but one of the outfits she's worn incorporating [[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/File:Sunacupulakage.png a]] [[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/File:Temari,_Sasuke_Retreival_Arc_(2).jpg short]] [[http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/File:Prop_temarifan.jpg skirt]].

** Lisa Yadomaru wore ''two'' - a ruffled miniskirt as a lieutenant, and a schoolgirl skirt as a Visored. She's fought in both outfits.

** Riruka Dokugamine sports and fights in a minidress rather liberally.

* ''BlazBlue'' has Noel Vermillion, who's often said to be GoingCommando.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBHHfYO3bqw&feature=related Makoto Nanaya]] trumps even Noel in this department, where ''straps'' are the only things keeping her skirt held in place.

* ''GuiltyGear'' has Valentine.

* In the anime version of ''LoveHina'', ''[[LadyofWar Motoko]]'' wore a school uniform with GirlishPigtails, slight ZettaiRyouiki and a DangerouslyShortSkirt while holding a book. [[ClingyJealousGirl Kanako]] seduced her while disguised as Naru as part of a BatmanGambit.

* The third season of ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'' has the famous BeachEpisode with [[http://images.wikia.com/avatar/images/7/75/Charming_Ty_Lee.png Ty Lee]] and [[http://media.photobucket.com/image/azula/jacobyel/AzulaBikini.jpg?o=523 Azula]].

* ''FinalFantasyVII'''s Tifa Lockhart could be the patron saint of this trope, with a leather mini [[http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/9/9a/Tifa-FFVII-battle.png so short she nearly flashes you while standing still!]] And, yes [[http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/9/94/Tifa-FFVIIArt.png she's definitely got legs]].
** Not to be outdone, we have ''FinalFantasyX2'''s Rikku, [[http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/6/64/Rikku.jpg sporting a risque thong bikini/mini skirt combo]], [[{{Stripperific}} showing off plenty of skin as a bonus]].

** Even Senna [[http://th03.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2011/092/f/b/senna_sleeping_by_vergildvs-d3d0ses.png isn't exempt from such a fashion choice]].
** Homura from the third movie has her Shihakusho modified in such a way that the lower half is turned into a miniskirt. [[http://images.wikia.com/bleach/en/images/f/fb/Homura_movie_profile_%281%29.jpg It's even shorter]] than Nemu's miniskirt.

* ''BeetTheVandelBuster'' has Milfa, who routinely wears miniskirts that, if she leans over wrong, actually do show her panties. For that matter, Poala as well, though Milfa especially due to the tightness of her skirt.

* [[DGrayMan Lenalee]] [[http://www.dragonsmag.net/images/news/d.grayman22.jpg deserves an entry as well]] (yes, she's wearing shorts underneath).
* Anri's skirt in {{Durarara}} is ridiculously short.

* Togame in {{Katanagatari}} has a ripped up skirt so short that it is amazing how ''few'' panty shots she has over the course of the series.

* Running absolutely rampant in ''MahouSenseiNegima'', where about 98% of the female characters wear one.

* ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' anime. Dawn Hikari and her hip-length skirt, especially since she's only ten years old. She's ''not'' an ActionGirl, though, since she leaves most of her fighting to her Pokemon.
* QueensBlade has [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/888894/arm_garter-belt-boken_fantasy-bow-breasts-bustier- Captain Liliana]].
* ''In RosarioToVampire'', this is the source of much of the {{fanservice}} in the anime.
** A Dangerously Short Skirt is [[http://rosariovampire.wikia.com/wiki/File:Rosario-to-vampire-group-4.jpg apparently required by the dress code]]◊. At one point, the MoralGuardians attempt to require all female students wear much longer skirts (ankle length), which fails due to intense opposition from the students.

* In ''SailorMoon'', the sailor scout superhero uniforms, as seen [[http://emilyrajch.blogspot.com/2011/05/sailor-moon.html here]].
* Zakuro, from TokyoMewMew.
* Dark Magician Girl from YuGiOh.

* Juliet Starling, zombie hunting cheerleader heroine of LollipopChainsaw.
* SoulCalibur has Sophitia Alexandra, an Athenean maiden who [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080304041544/soulcalibur/images/6/6d/Sophie.jpg habitually wears shorts skirts]].◊ In Soul Calibur IV, not only is it short, it's practically see-through! HotMom indeed!
** Cassandra Alexander, Sophita's sister, also qualifies, as of Soul Calibur 2.
* [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WEWYShiki1.jpg Shiki]] from TheWorldEndsWithYou.
* VampireTheMasquerade has Jeanette Voerman, but [[SubvertedTrope she never fights on-screen]].
* LaPucelle has [[NaughtyNun Prier]] wearing a dress so short, it's actually the apron in front that prevents her from flashing everyone. She's also a KickChick.

* Starfire in the animated TeenTitans show.
* Gender-flipped variant: Him of ''ThePowerPuffGirls'' had this, combined with ZettaiRyouiki, ThighHighBoots, and loads and loads of FanDisservice (Unless you were [[NightmareFetishist into that sort of thing]]). Seriously, the whole design of the guy ([[AmbiguousGender ?]]) put [[TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Doctor Frank-n-Furter]] to shame.

* [[http://www.hairwigharlem.com/catalog/product/gallery/id/9842/image/13032/ That is a minidress]], with see-through cloth. We get a PantyShot [[BeyondTheImpossible while remaining as a]] MagicSkirt!
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Miami-dolphins-040201-N-2541H-001.jpg These are miniskirts]], worn by cheerleaders. A popular Italian joke states that the miniskirt is the kind of garment that makes the wearer [[AWorldwidePunomenon feel cold while looking hot]].
