Synopsis

After failing their boss for the last time, yakuza members Kentarou, Ryou, and Kazuhiko are faced with one of two choices: have their organs harvested and sold or take a trip to Thailand for sex reassignment surgery and become pop idols. Now, after a year of excruciating training, the three thugs have been reborn as Airi, Chika, and Mari. Debuting as the amateur idol group The Goku Dolls, the three strive towards becoming top idols.

However, despite the hours of feminizing brainwashing they were forced to endure, the three idols have managed to keep the yakuza spirit alive in their hearts. In order to fix this, their yakuza boss hires Mandarin Kinoshita, a legendary manager who has never had an idol group fail under his management. With their lives now on the line, the reluctant yakuza must work with their new manager to unleash their inner cuteness and become the successful idols that their tyrannical boss can truly be proud of.

I think it was one of the best comedy anime that I've seen. I liked the story unlike many other people, three yakuza people who have to become idols for the mistake they've made. But to be honest it's more like famous sitcoms, in the episodes there is no such a palpable development on the story it was more like ten episodes that you can watch with very similar bases and laugh.

I watched this show last year and decided to give it a rewatch recently. I saw a few comments about transphobia and I really didn't see it. Already the premise of the show is how three yakuza members get surgery in Thailand and become idols.

The show is a bit rough around the edges. The art looked a bit ...

Horrible anime, what a waste of time. As someone who very much enjoy stories and movies where men dress up as women I thought I'd enjoy this but oh my I was wrong. This is a highly insensitive transphobic anti-LGBT anti-women story that should be removed from Netflix asap.

All the jokes are tacky, I did not laugh once. What is the fun of joking about having hemorroids? It's not fun? Jokes abing being threatened to death? Not fun?

This anime implies that:
Trans-people does not exist
Even after surgery, looking and feeling like a girl, trans-women will never be "real women"
Only people with dicks can have ...
