Still gonna check it out. This is looking like the "so bad its good" trash anime of the year.

...Or you could check out a few random chapters of the manga and then decide if this off the wall parody is worth your time.

I find the humor of the manga to be in the same vein as Gintama' at it's wackiest.

Well, what do you know, I was going to post about how cool the new characters actually look. Crazy, huh? Rolling Eyes

The series looks like it's as nutty as a PayDay.

Three mafiosos get sex changes and become idols. Is the transformation realistic? No, it's fiction, it serves the story/comedy. Will it be respectful to the transgender community? Not likely. Will it even try to? Doubtful. Was it meant to be taken seriously? Heck no. Can it be enjoyable? Check your socio-political expectations at the door and try it.

Said it before, I am slightly disappointed that’s not the opening theme. Maybe the Ed?

Looks utterly insane. In a funny way at least.

Looking forward to this one. This looks very much like one not to be taken very seriously and I doubt anyone should be looking at this as something supposed to be extremely realistic. The comedy won’t work for everyone, surely, but I can see myself enjoying this.
