Panty Explosion is, in many ways, a Harry Potter RPG. Think of the similarities: * both are about students * both are set in schools * each features a student with extraordinary supernatural/psychic abilities * each features "evil" opposition Just one is set in England and uses magic, and one is set in Japan and uses psychics. |

One might argue that Harry Potter is slightly less sexually charged. |

Both also feature cute Japanese girls as romantic interests. (Potter's brief attempt at romance with Cho) ;) |

Cho is Chinese, I believe. |

I thought she was Indonesian. |

A brief google reveals her heritage is not mentioned. But the name Cho Chang is most prob Korean, maybe Chinese. Answer dot com has a detailed explanation answers.com/topic/cho-chang |

PS I think answer dot com has it right that Rowling mixed up Korean and Chinese names when she made up that name. |

One might argue that Harry Potter is slightly less sexually charged. I take it you missed the brouhaha about the vibrating Harry Potter toy broomstick a few years back? |

Robot Chicken did a hilarious spoof of Harry Potter that probably makes what I've read about Panty Explosion look tame (when it comes to sexually charged). A riot! |

One might argue that Harry Potter is slightly less sexually charged. Depends on which fan fiction you're reading. |

Hahaha I love you guys. After I posted earlier I was thinking 'dang, Cho was Chinese, not Japanese. I wonder if can correct that before anyone notices
' Silly me. ;) |

If you want to play a Chinese or Korean feel free. In our first playtest we had a Korean PC who was voted least popular almost everytime due to her ethnicity. I've heard PE compared to numerous other pop culture and historical references but this is the first time I've seen Harry Potter. Our game is slightly more sexual than Harry Potter since we discuss statistics of some sexual issues in Japan. |
