Princess Robot Bubblegum is a general parody of [[wp:Shōjo_manga|shōjo]] (young female) anime, however it incongruously mixes this with tropes of violent [[wp:Shōnen_manga|shōnen]] (young male) and [[wp:Seinen manga|seinen]] (mature male) programs, science fiction and [[wp:hentai|hentai]] (pornographic anime).

* '''[[wp:La Blue Girl|La Blue Girl]]''': PRB bears some strong resemblances to the hentai La Blue Girl's female protagonist Mido Miko who also sports long hair and a large bow. PRB's hair color and the color of her bow, however, are inversions of Mido's hair color and bow: Mido has purple hair and a pink bow while PRB has pink hair with a purple bow. Like Mido, PRB was also raised as a ninja. PRB also finds herself in a tentacle rape-esque situation, a hentai stlye pioneered by La Blue Girl. | |||

Other heroines in the series, like PRB, sport unnatural hair colors such as pink, blue and green. | * '''[[wp:Sailor Moon|Sailor Moon]]''': PRB herself bears a heavy resemblance to Sailor Moon, including her sexual image (Sailor Moon wears a skimpy schoolgirl's outfit, among other controversies) and also share similar superpowered transformation scenes.
