Aaah... I really wanted to like the premise, but wtf... it's downright bizarre.

Ahhh it's been too long since I had a good, ridiculous gender bender plot to latch onto. Actually, I guess, Magical Girl Ore fits that bill. But I prefer male-to-female gender benders. Anyway, I can't wait!

I am actually going to give this a try and see how bizarre it will get.

Okay Japan this isn't the weirdest thing you've created, I'm scared but at the same time slightly intrigued.

I'm actually kind of scared of this show. The premise sounds like something I could almost enjoy, but the fact that the show is loaded with black humor and will probably treat being transgendered like a punchline... yeah, I'm not expecting it to take.

That manager's expression is just begging for an "everybody's going to the f**k farm" edit.

......

Three guys fail the boss one time too many and are given the choice of being killed without honor or to redeem themselves and become idols.
What follows is an inside look at a fairly popular up and coming female idol group,if the group consisted of yakuza men and the boss was a bit of idol fanboi.

This is an off the wall comedy period...

Same, and I mean, one of their songs was the opening theme for the anime Hanada Shounen-shi.That was back in 2004 (I think), but there's a slight bit of hope. Laughing

It IS the punch line. They were forced to BECOME transgendered.

Don't you have to believe you're the opposite gender to be transgendered? And they'd be transsexuals anyway since they actually got surgery.
