There are actually two reasons why I think that this isn't a very good image:

1. The more important one is that it doesn't show anything about the trope - sure, the two women depicted may be examples, but nothing about it shows that. (They both react identically to the guy inadvertently exposing them, for one thing.)

2. On that note, it's also mildly NSFW for a trope that doesn't need to be.

If the actual Panty Shot page image can't show any panties, then neither should this.

Eeeeeyeah, that's a bit too far past the line, plus it really doesn't demonstrate the trope. It's pulled and the page is tagged.

It doesn't really fit the trope as well.

Nuke it.

None of the other subpages have images so it's fine by me if this goes imageless, but for the sake of discussion: Naruto and Sasuke, Nami and Robin (One Piece), Panty and Stocking

The image might not have been very illustrative, but you can't deny it was very anime.

There is another anime-related image on the main page, though.

Think I'll root for 9 at the moment.

Panty and Stocking for me. A great example would be Rei and Asuka from Evangelion but I didn't find a good pic of them together that was highlighting their differences.

9 isn't that clear to me; they just both look frustrated over homework.

They look the same in 9. The images in 6 are okay but none of them are that great. Nami and Robin◊ (One Piece) looks the best out of the three. "The image might not have been very illustrative, but you can't deny it was very anime," is not a good argument. The girls look just the same.

I'm pretty sure the "very anime" thing was a joke.

My only gripe with the One Piece image is that the girls aren't centered, but admittedly that's not a huge deal. I can live with it.

I wonder if it'd be easier to just move the one in the main page to the Anime subpage, and add a new one for the former if something good pops up.

Wasn't it said that main pages are supposed to be medium neutral anyway?

The main page image is better than any of the suggestions anyway.

I also think the image in main should be moved to Anime and Manga. For main page image replacements: [1], [2], [3]]

+1 to move the current to the Anime page and replace it with 17.2.

Good enough. The main pic's moved to that subpage; I've pinged the artist to get permission for the pic.

Bumping to see if ~Willbyr got word from the artist for the new pic, since it's been over a week..
