THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Some funny moments but I feel like it tries to hard to be a meme comedy. Ill give it a couple more episodes to see if I warm up to it or not

"Kyaa?" YOU DON'T JUST KYAA!

Hehe, this is an anime that looks to insult all them idols. Animation is minimal, but I'll deal with that with all the jokes it's got.

I'm amazed, they managed to get through the entire first episode without doing A SINGLE BIT OF ACTUAL ANIMATION (except the OP). The closest they come, is in the opening few seconds (after the OP of course), where they alternate between two frames to convey the flickering light of a TV.

It takes dedication to do such little (and by little I mean "literally nothing") animation.

Still probably going to watch the rest of the series.

I fell asleep during many scenes. Not my type of comedy. 1/5
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

This reminds me of Cromartie High School without being nearly as entertaining. At least once or twice a year, I try to watch a bad anime just to prove to my self that I can tough it out. This is one of those..........

It's funny how I already noticed how lazy the OP was. Didn't think the whole Episode would be like this. It is probably better to just read the manga and probably funnier too.

The premise itself is funny but I was looking for something as funny as Prison School and DMC. It failed to do that. I'll give it one more episode.

That's some crazy yet totally hilarious concept of this anime! Really like the start of this series and the characters are also totally great! Looking forwards to see what this series will offer.

The most funniest part was the song "Koi no Sakazuki". What some weird yakuza boss this guy is, being the Gokudolls' songwriter.

This series seems so stupid but I love it. I was in a bad mood before watching this and now I’m smiling so thumbs up for that.

such a ridiculous premise but hey its entertaining. With how goofy this is I thought they would have magic them into girls, but they straight up had a sex change op and that must have been one hell of a doc. The art and animation itself is pretty low level I mean some of the girls hands look like mittens.

lol it's like Asobi Asobase but weirder.
Yeah the animation is non existent and the design looks cheap as fuck, but I'm a sucker for absurd shows so I'm in.

I began re-watching this because I stopped a few episodes in last time. Actually very funny to me. The underlying point in all of this is how the idol industry is just as barbaric and cutthroat as organized crime. Yakuza would make great idols because they would do anything to win. It also targets feminine and masculine norms relentlessly, which I do love. The art style makes me laugh, I actually think it looks quite good.

After seeing the synopsis, I thought that if the concept was well executed, this could be amazing. So far, this has been very disappointing.

delayed for too long, but already entertaining as a pilot. Some external circumstances add up even more, such as having two idols out of three with the same name of Aqours characters (and Mari has the same original seiyuu of a Nijigasaki one) and the third one is shared between italian voice actor of Johnny Lawrence from Cobra Kai (badass exactly like him) and the same country voice actress of Megumi Bandicoot from Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, and she's my favorite one of the Nitro Squad girls from the same game. And their boss is dubbed by the immediately recognizable Pietro Ubaldi, a legend for the voice acting world here in italy, finally met in first person some months ago. Meeting with fans was the most amusing part, not only for accidentally framing their former nemesis from the yakuza days and putting him in prison, but also for the hilarious meta commentary of them being forced to put up an innocent girl act towards people like that... myself included.

I was worried this was going to be woke slop, but I was wrong. This series is a gem so far. Love the yakuza commentary on some of the jokes.
