G-On Riders
Encyclopedia : G : GO : GON : G-On Riders
|} G-On Riders is an anime series that falls into the category of magical girl. It's primarily a work of parody. The "G" in "G-On" stands for "Glasses." Every female character in the series (including in one brief shot the Statue of Liberty) wears glasses, hence the title. The character designs are intended to both parody and glorify the meganekko fetish among many anime fans. Other fetishes the anime uses include meido, seifuku, nurse, lolita, and nun.
While the original 13 episodes primarily used fan service with nothing actually shown, the OVA included nude scenes of many in the female cast as well as a mock bukkake scene. The OVA was included as a DVD special.
Currently, the series is only available via fansub. It is highly unlikely the series will ever be licensed for distribution outside of Japan.
Plot
In the near future, most of the Earth has been conquered by aliens. However, a small region in Japan has successfully repelled them thanks to the development of "G-On" technology by the Grand Rifurekuto Amudo (GRA). This technology involves a band of girls (at first two, then three) who channel energy through special glasses. In this way they're able to destroy the giant monsters sent by the aliens.

Characters
The GRA
- Yuuki - The main heroine and the only girl who doesn't wear glasses at the very start. She possesses abnormal strength and is the last of the G-On Riders to join. The early episodes focus on her panties, which have strawberries on them. She loses her panties in a monster attack and they fall into the hands of Ichiro, who struggles to return them to her.
- Ichiro - The male lead of the story. He is deeply infatuated with Yuuki and much of the series has him trying to confess to her. When he finally does, she tells him she loves him...and everybody else. Yayoi, Sela, and Zero all harbor romantic feelings for him. When he was younger, he was accidentally hit by a falling spaceship and given a cyborg body. This allows him to transform into the warrior Cosmo Banchou, a parody of Tuxedo Kamen from Sailor Moon. By the end of the OVA, it appears he becomes engaged to Zero.
- Sela - A warrior who is also a nun. She has the second largest breasts in the series, second only to Nurse Sanada. She carries a portable confession booth, which is placed over her head whenever she wants to commune with god.
- Yayoi - An apparent Shinto priestess. She has an extreme shyness towards males and cannot have them come within a certain distance, otherwise she'll forcefully fling them into the air. The only man able to come closer than the usual distance is Ichiro, who she is fond of. However, even he is thrown several times.
- Nurse Sanada - The school nurse and inventor of the G-On technology wielded by Yuuki, Sela, and Yayoi. Her true identity is that of Mako's sister. She built Zero and created both the Maiden and Man Circuits. When she first came to Earth, her spaceship hit Ichiro and she transformed him into a cyborg, implating the Man Circuit within him. She fell through a timewarp and was aged several million years, causing her to go from the body of a 10-year old into a 20-something. She has the largest breasts of the entire female cast. Her seiyuu is Aya Hisakawa.
The Aliens
- Zero - An android maid who serves Pao, Ai, and Mako. She was built by Sanada and has a "Maiden Chip" within her that reacts to Ichiro's presence. While an android, the Maiden Chip allows her to feel love and she actively pursues Ichiro's attention several times.
- Pao
- Ai
- Mako
- Rori - The alien behind the attacks on Earth. Over a hundred thousand years ago, Rori came to Earth and gave her glasses to a young primitive boy. These glasses were the catalyst that lead to the formation of human civilization. Rori's glasses eventually ended up in the posession of Yuuki. Without her glasses, Rori's heart became cold and she lost all emotions save for the desire to destroy. She is redeemed once Yuuki returns her glasses. Rori and Yuuki form a close bond by the end of the series.
Episodes
Each episode is called a "Glass," to reinforce the meganekko theme. Episode 14 is the OVA, which went unaired due to more explicit content than the other episodes, including nudity and adult situations.
