The Maiden Japan streaming of Papillon Rose on Hulu expired at the end of 2015 and now the folks at The Anime Network have gotten things squared away and have brought it back onto the service. The TV MA series was originally released back in 2003 as an OVA and then as a six-episode TV series in 2006, both of which are now available on the service in its original Japanese language with English subtitles. Those with a Hulu Plus can watch this show on your TV and mobile devices. Maiden Japan released the show on DVD back in 2010.
The TV series was directed by Yasuhiro Matsumura and animated by Studio Kelmadick.
Plot concept: Can high school student and part-time underwear model Tsubomi save Japan from the monstrous villainesses who seek to suck its men dry of… um… sexual energy? How do her talking cat Rama and the mysterious stranger who calls himself “Dandy Lion” fit into the picture? And just how many magic girls who fight evil in their underwear does Japan have anyway? They’re not knock-offs, they’re knock outs, and they’re fighting wrongs in their thongs in Papillon Rose!
