Basically the story is about 3 mafia men being transformed into Barbie doll idols by their psycho boss and have to live through it. However that didn't help me be interested in watching it further. I like the Gender bending genre but this one unfortunately is part of the bad ones I've watched and it's really struggling to be funny so Imma gonna avoid watching the other 9 episodes for sure...
This show is a hilarious satire of idol culture, but still gets you invested in its characters. I was rooting for the GOKUDOLS throughout watching, in addition to their rivals. The intersection of idols and yakuza was an entertaining and fun mix. Great timekiller, and a funny, quick series to watch.
The anyme can be hilarious or at the very least is pretty funny, i hope it gets its second season, i can recomend it to anyone who can watch a cartoon without taking it seriously.it does skip on animation sometimes by using slides but i feel like it adds to it.
The premise is simple. Three Yakuza underlings failed once too often and are given a choice, have their organs harvested and sold OR get a sex change and become idols.
If the image of a tough gangster yakuza shaking his tosh and singing "love love bu-nny!" isn't funny to you then something is just wrong.
The jokes are fun and so over the top that you just can't help laughing at the character's suffering. As season one progresses it gets even more absurd and ridiculous.
The one issue with it is the ending. The season doesn't end so much as suddenly stops. I do recommend watching it in the original language (japanese) with subtitles as the dubbed voices don't always land the delivery.

What a weird show. The premise is so rediculous that it works. The whole shows feels like watching a train wreck but in a good way and I think that's what the show's going for. Only downside is the animation is pretty budgeted but they do a lot with a little. Voice acting is great.
