Mako-chan

Mako Urashima was a fictional female character featured in Toei Doga's Mahō no Mako-chan (魔法のマコちゃん). Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, it was the first anime to introduce sexuality into Japanese animation. The cartoon challenged many social taboos of the time, and was crucial in the evolution of the maho shojo genre over the following decade. While earlier programs had used "incidental" panty shots for humorous effect, Mako-chan presented panchira in unambiguously risque terms, depicting teenaged girls in their bras and panties.
