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.
