Once my browser runs the animated PNG (for this and post #1272665), it won't show the first frame for more than a fraction of a second, if at all, when I reload.
Not a bad idea, but I need the first frame to be visible long enough to react. That works if it's been long enough for the PNG to have been pushed out of the cache, but if I try refreshing right after a page-load, the frame isn't visible long enough for me to catch it using the Escape key. Thanks anyway.
It does work a lot better on pixiv. first you see the normal sinking image, then when you click the picture to enlarge it quickly changes to a panicking Ran. Quite evoking when encountered that way... it made me go "oh god no" after I enlarged...
