We use so much terminology that many casual fans might be unaware of, I thought it might behoove us to provide some useful information. This wikipedia link contains quite a bit of terminology. If anyone else would like to add, edit, clarify, etc... by all means; feel free. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_anime_and_manga

TRSIctionary entry for "jigglenauts":
Jigglenauts: adj. Having copious amounts, in direct relation to ecchi fan service. i.e. "Gravion Zwei has jigglenauts of fan service."
TRSIctionary entry for "Jigglewatts":
Jigglewatts: adj. (alt. form of jigglenauts) Having copious amounts, in direct relation to ecchi fan service. i.e. "Plastic Little has jigglewatts of fan service."
TRSIctionary edit for "Jigglewatts":
I imagine Jigglewatts to be a general measure of jigglage. Very much akin to how earthquakes are measured on the richter scale, The overall jigglage of an episode, movie, or series can rate anywhere between 1 and 10 jigglewatts on the jiggascale.
With a ranking of 8-10 Jigglewatts, an anime can really be considered a heavy contender amungst the best jigglenauts available today. ..Or at least best delivering of the jiggles/fan service.
TRSIctionary further reading for the root word "Jiggle":
Satoshi Urushihara's anime Plastic Little is disputably the first anime to utilize the "Jiggle Counter".

I know this anime is new on the US side, but since seeing it. It is now the anime I think of when I think of panty shots Rosario + Vampire. I think it is because the preview shot is nothing but a panty shot.

(It’s given me a new found appreciation for Clean White Panties )I've seen that one, it does have a lot of panty shots. And I do feel that hurts R+V in that reguard as the preview image is the only thing that comes to mind when thinking of that show and panty shots. Though for me personally when I think of panty shots I will always think of Dead Or Alive as that is where I learned about panty shots back in 2000 on the Dreamcast.

I discovered the difference between an otaku and a weeaboo today.
An otaku is obsessed with japanese entertainment. i.e. anime, hentai, figures, manga, etc...
A weeaboo is obsessed with japanese culture. i.e. language, pocky, bento, fashion, etc...
