Lingerie Senshi Papillon Rose (Web Version) is the original version of the Papillon Rose series, as shown in the series' original website.

Development[]

In late 2000, a website promoting a new "magical girl" anime was uploaded to the internet. I was stated that the concept was a "Sai***r Moon for adults" limited animation parody, with character designs that resembled existing characters from multiple series and a short promotional video with traced animations from other anime. The series was meant to be released in digital video format through the internet starting February 2001. Amateur net voice actors and producers were recruited to contribute to the series with character phrases, theme songs and vocals. The website was proven to be quite popular among the anime fanbase on the anime threads of 2ch, even extending to overseas fans after its introduction in western-based web forums.

The character designs featured were inspired by the early Sakura Wars games and the Wedding Peach anime, which was airing at the time on japanese TV. The complete concepts of the Papillon Rose webseries and the manga it was based on were featured on the "Papillon Rose archive" mook, sold on that year's Summer Comiket. According to its introduction pages, Papillon Rose owed its success to the underground Japanese empire using the gil currency, and it was created by Ai Hanazono, a returnee from Sweden. The anime version, created by Pink company, was directed by Toru Murakita, a shady perverted character in the empire's anime industry, and was drawn by Shinji Tobita, an ex-male escort and illutrator who was sexually obsessed with the anime director, both with a vast portofio of softly pornographic works. The character designs differ a little from anime to manga, since both series were developed at the same time, resulting in the soldiers wearing almost identical costumes (in the first volumes they were implied to wear different lingerie each time) and the color schemes being different. Rose was originally pitched with blonde hair, but for a multitude of reasons including her having the protagonist title, it was decided she should keep a color scheme close to her manga setting.

English Version[]

Sometime before May 2001, a group of overseas fans contacted the creators of the website to receive permission for an English version of the Papillon Rose idea. Permission was granted and starting May 2001, a few episodes of an English version were eventually released as radio dramas.

One casual day, I spent a night with Hikaru Shishio, the industry's number one host, and overnight, he planted his seed in my secret shrine.
Guided by Rama, the black cat, the seeds soon started blooming and my Papillon powers were awakened, making me able to transform into Papillon Rose and attacks the enemies.

Trivia[]

  • The term "ONA" was originally a play of the term "OVA", replacing "video" with "net", it was first used in the original updates of the site, and was adopted by the members of the Anime News Network website. Since then, the term is used by the western anime fandom for anime broadcasted or distributed through the internet for free. In the Japanese terminology, the equivalent term is "Web Anime"(Webアニメ). Interestingly, the 2014 reboot of Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon Crystal is classified as ONA.
