Lingerie Senshi Papillon Rose

First time reviewer, please be gentle. Cannot believe it's for something like this, but...Oh well.

Despite what others may say, I genuinely liked Papillon Rose. It's a tough pill to swallow if you don't know what exactly you're going into, but as a big fan of the magical girl genre I was ultimately pretty glad that I sat down and spent 25 minutes out of my life on this OVA.

I'll be blunt: Lingerie Senshi Papillon Rose is...well, bad. However, its terribleness is intentional. It is a walking parody meant to be making fun of itself and the rest of the magical girl genre with ... every word. Do not expect a creative or imaginative story, cast, or anything - Papillon Rose draws upon Sailor Moon and Cutey Honey and regurgitates both (with a wide array of crude humor added into the mix) for a cheap laugh.

As I said above, nothing at all in this is unique or original - it isn't intended to be. The opening and ending songs are pretty and the art is rather nice to look at. The plot itself and the characters are ripped right from other magical girl anime, just...lewder. The real draw on this OVA is not the music, art, or story - it is the humor and the "take that" attitude towards other anime of the same genre.

My final verdict: If you're looking for something hilariously bad and full of ecchi-esque humor and lewdness, give Papillon Rose a watch. Just don't go into this taking it seriously or expecting the next big thing (or a full blown hentai) - you'll be disappointed.

After watching Lingerie Soldier Papillon Rose... I cannot for the life of me decide whether it was the best, worst thing I've ever seen, or the worst, best thing.

If I had to describe this using words, I would call it "Butt Attack Punisher Girl meets Sailor Moon parody with a touch of hentai"

If I actually had to describe it, it would be "wuhhh uhhh huh? what? aeeehhhehhh the FUDGE?! Σ(O_O；) uhhhhhhhhh

I love magical girl parody anime. There's actually enough of these out there now for it to ... be basically an entire genre of its own, with classics like Excel Saga, and some lesser known ones like the aforementioned Butt Attack Punisher Girl, or Punie. They work because it's funny. Everyone likes watching ruined, gross, vulgar, or perverted versions of shows they liked as kids- it's a proven fact, what with all these abridged series going around nowadays.

It's just good fun to turn something that you've grown out of (sometimes) into a newly relevant and entertaining thing.

I didn't watch Sailor Moon... but somehow I don't think this was the case. I don't know that Sailor Moon fans >ever> needed to see a sex crazed replacement for their heroine fight against a BDSM lady and her leather clad cat army with a large vibrator.

At the same time, the WTF factor is strong with this one. Flaming breast milk? Boob bombs? a whip that attaches to penises and sucks the life out of the guy? Yeah, I saw some new things in this one, myself.

Like I said above, when magical girl parodies are good, they're great. If a sleazy knockoff of a much beloved chinese cartoon with some nudity and a LOT of everything sex related appeals to you, this is riotous. If not, then it's kinda gross, like a 12 year old's edgy wet dream version of Sailor Moon. A girl who works at a strip club bangs a dude with magical semen and then gets the power to transform into an even more scantily clad heroine to fight some sex reference villains. I didn't think it was possible to make it sound even more stupid. I amaze myself sometimes.

I'm honestly surprised that studio Arms didn't make this. It looks just like their flavor of edgy hentai action schlock made for kids that think boobs and sex toys are the height of comedy.


With all that said, I'm just going to give this a 5. It's both terrible AND amazing-ly weird.
If I find myself saying "WTF" more than three times in the span of 20 minutes, I think it's got something going here. Whatever that is, though, I don't really know.

This anime is a perfect guideline of what NOT to do if you're trying to make a good parody out of another serie (Sailor Moon in this case).

The story is horrible, supposed to be ecchi but it's almost a very bad, and cheap, hentai. Art is just alright; although watching your computer's wallpaper should be funner, watching this anime at least doesn't bothers the eye. The soundtrack is very poor and lacking creativity, while sound effects are hilariously bad. The characters are terrible; their movements, their voice, the way of conducting themselves, it's all bad.

Seriously, I was in pain while watching this OVA. It's horrible.
