This will either be a hilarious show, or it'll offend to the point of the whole Darling in the Franxx tirade and podcast.

Folks could read of chapters of the manga...and learn that this is a spoof/parody/send up of an inside look at the inner workings of an idol group.

And then write up their comments.

Yeah, when I saw him I was like ''wait that's Keiji Fujiwara'', it can't be a coincidence. They knew what they were doing lol.

If anyone hasn't guessed, the trailer is a spoof on old Japanese Yakuza films from the 1950s.

I am actually looking forward to this series. It is without a doubt the goofiest premise that we've seen in a long time, and if they pull it off it could be hilarious. And it does look like the production has attracted some decent talent, so there's a good chance it will be at least watchable.

fujiwara as the boss is the best choice


anyway, I've been reading the manga and it's mildly amusing so I guess I'll check this out to see how it captures the jokes

This barely looks animated. It looks more like a compilation of stills, very cheap. Gonna skip.
