Here you'll find lots of good dank moments and jokes
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.
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.
Biggest problem with this show is the animation. A lot of anime tends to have more stilted animation, but every frame looks really good. This show however seems to take that to a bit of an extreme, where you rarely see any movement in any of the shots other than their mouths or with an effect put on the screen, effectively looking a bit more like a slide show rather than an anime. I think there are at most 5 shots throughout season 1 that didn't do this. However, for how relatively lackluster and uncanny the animation is, they didn't slack off on the writing. The characters all play off eachother really well, leading to some funny and genuine moments between them, and the premise is very interesting. For what it lacks in visual flair, it makes up for in good writing and still manages to be entertaining despite that flaw.
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.
