== Description ==

Princess Robot Bubblegum generally parodies the [[wp:Shōjo_manga|shōjo]] (young female) subset of 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|pornographic anime]]. It thus contains many anime tropes and stereotypes, including its setting (a futuristic Tokyo); its heroine (a scantily clad, busty leading female with big eyes and pink hair); a perverted old man acting as mentor, an androgynous and ambiguously gay male supporting character, a cute but otherwise useless monster sidekick, ninjas, [[wp:mecha|mecha robots]], "[[wp:tentacle erotica|tentacle erotica]]", elaborate action and transformation sequences, [[wp:Engrish|bad translations]] and questionable [[wp:~~Dub_localization|dubbing]].~~
