Papillon Rose (パピヨンローゼ, Papiyon Rōze) is an anime series which parodies the magical girl genre, particularly Sailor Moon and Cutie Honey.

The website posted pictures of characters (which were usually copied from scenes in Sailor Moon, with the artwork changed) and a lyrics to opening and ending theme songs.

[4] In April 2004, a movie finale concept was introduced as well, named Lingerie Soldier Papillon Rose G.[4] Subsequently, all of the project websites were either taken down or replaced with a blank page with the former content removed.

[4] In the fall of 2014, a blog was opened featuring new artwork for what claimed to be a new version of the Papillon Rose series, a rebuild of the original idea as a film trilogy.

A new doujinshi artbook was released together with two pencil boards, featuring new artwork for the characters and a similar storyline to the original incarnation of the web series.

Lingerie Soldier Papillon Rose (ランジェリー戦士パピヨンローゼ, Tsubomi no Yume wa Yoru Hiraku) was released as a single 24-minute OVA episode.

In March 2010, Section23 Films announced plans to release the six-episode TV series and the OVA on DVD for North America on behalf of Maiden Japan.

But for what we do get, it's a lot of fun and a good way to spend an evening watching pretty anime girls doling out justice in a slight smutty way with smiles on their faces.
