Majokko Meg-chan (1974) was a an early and influential magical series with stylisms and plot devices that still reverberate in the genre today. Most notably, it was ahead of its time on the fanservice front. Many rightly reference Go Nagai’s Cutie Honey as the origin of fanservice and this series came a few months after it, inspired to create a magical girl series with a bit more of an edge.
While Go Nagai’s Cutey Hiney was overtly sexual and mature in appearance, the fanservice of this series is at the opposite end of the spectrum.
It’s young girl (probably 14 or 15) lead, Meg, is given the innocent and cute panty shot treatment and frequently depicted in transparent negligee showing her bra and panties. She is regularly harassed by the pranks of her younger siblings, who flip her skirt and otherwise rope her into revealing situations. While innocent on the surface, they’re still incredibly sexy. This is really one of the earliest prototypes for lolita fanservice!
Unfortunately it looks like censors got onto it by about halfway through the series – the panty shots suddenly deplete and her signature negligee becomes disappointingly opaque.

Her sleepwear gets a lot of attention throughout the series, revealing her simply white panties and bra.
