In episode 17 of the anime adaption of the ''Excel♥Saga'' manga, Excel recited a variation of Sailor Moon's "In the name of the moon, I shall punish you!" speech (in which she said something among the lines of "In the name of the moon, I will spank you!") and used the same pose as her when she recited it. After one of the characters recognized the show she was referencing and remarked that it was over, Excel said "Shut up! I was doing good with this stuff until a couple of years back!". In the Japanese version of the anime, this is an actor allusion, as both characters are voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi. However, in the English dub, the character who pointed it out said that it was for kids instead and Excel said "It's not just for kids! I wanted that part, but it was dubbed in Canada!"

A similar sequence occurs in "The Romance", this time showing Penny Fitzgerald attempting to shapeshift. The sequence in this episode is shorter and the only similarities to the transformation are the music, the background, and having the character in the sequence attempt to transform in some way.

Originally, the website only had pictures of characters from the "series", with said pictures often being copied off of scenes from the first ''Sailor Moon'' anime but with the artwork changed. Despite it being a simple internet hoax, demand grew for more information on the non-existent series and over time, more information on "episodes", characters, and other things about the series was added onto the website. Eventually, in 2003, an ecchi OVA called ''Lingerie Soldier Papillon Rose: Tsubomi no Yume wa Yoru Hiraku'' was released and in 2006, the series was finally made into a television series called ''Papillon Rose: The New Season''. Both the OVA and television series were shown to be inspired by or simply parodying ''Sailor Moon'', with some notable examples being the shorthand name for the OVA (''Lingerie Soldier Papillon Rose'', or ''Lingerie Senshi Papillon Rose'' in Japanese, looks similar to ''Pretty Guardian/Soldier Sailor Moon'', or ''Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon'' in Japanese, which is the full name for the ''Sailor Moon'' series), the protagonist Tsubomi/Papillon Rose (Parodies Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon), Anne/Papillon Lily (Minako, Sailor Venus), Dandy Lion (a parody of Tuxedo Mask), the cat Rama (a parody of Luna), and many other characters.

Despite it being a simple internet hoax, demand grew for more information on the non-existent series and over time, more information on "episodes", characters, and other things about the series was added onto the website. Eventually, in 2003, an ecchi OVA called Lingerie Soldier Papillon Rose: Tsubomi no Yume wa Yoru Hiraku was released and in 2006, the series was finally made into a television series called Papillon Rose: The New Season. Both the OVA and television series were shown to be inspired by or simply parodying Sailor Moon, with some notable examples being the shorthand name for the OVA (Lingerie Soldier Papillon Rose, or Lingerie Senshi Papillon Rose in Japanese, looks similar to Pretty Guardian/Soldier Sailor Moon, or Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon in Japanese, which is the full name for the Sailor Moon series), the protagonist Tsubomi/Papillon Rose (Parodies Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon), Anne/Papillon Lily (Minako, Sailor Venus), Dandy Lion (a parody of Tuxedo Mask), the cat Rama (a parody of Luna), and many other characters.
