After failing their boss for the last time, yakuza members Kentarou, Ryou, and Kazuhiko are faced with one of two choices: have their organs harvested and sold or take a trip to Thailand for sex reassignment surgery and become pop idols. Now, after a year of excruciating training, the three thugs have been reborn as Airi, Chika, and Mari. Debuting as the amateur idol group The Goku Dolls, the three strive towards becoming top idols. However, despite the hours of feminizing brainwashing they were forced to endure, the three idols have managed to keep the yakuza spirit alive in their hearts. In order to fix this, their yakuza boss hires Mandarin Kinoshita, a legendary manager who has never had an idol group fail under his management. With their lives now on the line, the reluctant yakuza must work with their new manager to unleash their inner cuteness and become the successful idols that their tyrannical boss can truly be proud of.

This anime is critically underrated. Perhaps it's just my twisted sense of humor, but this was a classic for me. It goes right along in the same vein as anime like Prison School, Detroit Metal City and Magical With Punie Chan. It's hilarious torture comedy. I do understand that the weirdness of it will turn off many, since the plot surrounds manly Yakuza being turned into idols under threat of death, but people should really give it a chance, because it is hilarious. Another thing that probably turns people off is the poor animation style, which even I didn't thinkwas all that great, as it looks kind of like a cheaply drawn animated manga, more than anime, but if you get past that, the jokes will have you dying. Especially in later episodes. In fact, this is probably the only idol related anime I've ever watched to completion and gave a high score to. It's definitely dirty, raunchy, vulgar comedy, strictly for adults, but if you enjoy that kind of comedy, then you will love this anime. Give it a shot, as it will have you laughing from start to finish. Story: 10 Art: 5 Sound: 9 Character: 10 Enjoyment: 10 Overall: 10

You read the synopsis for Back Street Girls: Gokudolls and it's one of the best yet weirdest set-ups for a comedy series I've seen. I was instantly excited to see how everything would unfold in the show and I actually got what I had expected and a little more. For a sketch comedy, the story was good in that it was entertaining and a lot of the skits had an inter-connectivity to them and a lot characters that appeared early on aren't just there to serve the purpose of the joke being portrayed in that particular sketch alone. One drawback to the story is that thereisn't a strong conclusion to the season although it isn't too detrimental given the nature of the show. Also comedy is subjective and there are definitely some jokes that may be hit or miss depending on who the viewer is. When it comes the art and animation, the art is actually fine and it lends itself well to the comedy of Back Street Girls: Gokudolls, especially when it comes to what is done with the characters' facial expressions. However it is the animation of the show that is actually atrocious to the point where one almost wants to think it's intentional. Even if that was the case, there is not much excuse for the amount of shaky camera use I saw used in the show. The sound for the show is pretty standard with a small exception in that because this show is based around a cast of Idol "girls", the insert songs you would hear the main characters sing were interesting, catchy and the lyrics were actually very funny as well. Also the Opening and Ending songs for the show ended up being some favorites of mine from the current season. The characters will definitely be a draw for many people when watching Back Street Girls: Gokudolls. Whether it is the three former yakuza now turned idol girls, their boss Inugane or the many side characters that end up affected in some way or fashion by the Gokudolls. In conclusion, Back Street Girls: Gokudolls is a show that I think will probably stay underrated. However I wholeheartedly enjoyed it despite its flaws and would encourage anyone reading this to give this anime a try!

Horrible anime, what a waste of time. As someone who very much enjoy stories and movies where men dress up as women I thought I'd enjoy this but oh my I was wrong. This is a highly insensitive transphobic anti-LGBT anti-women story that should be removed from Netflix asap. All the jokes are tacky, I did not laugh once. What is the fun of joking about having hemorroids? It's not fun? Jokes abing being threatened to death? Not fun? This anime implies that: Trans-people does not exist Even after surgery, looking and feeling like a girl, trans-women will never be "real women" Only people with dicks can haveand enjoy sex People without dicks can't have sex with people without dicks The worst thing to happen is to lose your dick and now have to pee standing up What a waste of time. Wow. I hope the voice actors got paid a lot to do this, since this probably dragged their reputation a bit. Since this was on Netflix I didn't check MAI reviews before watching. A big mistake that will never happen again. My expectation: funny jokes about a group of men dressing up as idols, trying to tuck their junk and learning how to apply make-up, clumsy mistakes and good uld humor. What I got: transphobic garbage that left me with a bad taste in my mouth. This can be REALLY harmful is an actual trans-person sees this. The jokes were so bad, I'm 100% certain that a cis man wrote this trash. No woman could ever write something as insensitive as this. In my country, Sweden, posting this would never be allowed. TRANS LIVES MATTER! WOMEN CAN HAVE SEX! Spare your time and don't watch this.

Ah yes the idol anime genre. For years it's given us many enjoyable shows such as all three entires of the Love Live franchise, Bang Dream, D4DJ, Revue Starlight and Zombieland Saga. So what happens when three members of the yazuka become idols? Well you wouldn't want to know, because Backstreet Girls: Gokudolls is complete and utter transphobic garbage! The premise has already been stated, but I'll restate it since so it's fresh in your mind: three yazuka get surgery to become idols because they let down their boss. Throughout this show there are only two jokes, the first one being that all of thegirls in this anime are actually men because isn't transphobia just the funniest thing in the world? There's one scene where one of the girls is with someone who she knew before transitioning and he tells her that she'll always be a man to him and she THANKS him for it in earnest. Then in another scene later on in the show one of the executives drops a girl off when he realizes he can use teenagers instead. He says, and I shit you not, "Though they made you look pretty through surgery you'll never be as pretty as a real girl." I shouldn't have to explain why that's a disgusting statement to make, and what's worse is that is played for comedy. This show attacks a marlizinated group for the sake of a punchline and it's not even remotely funny. Hell in the opening the faces of the men who the girls used to be are plastered on their new bodies. Again, very funny. Hating on trans people is SO funny isn't it? Laugh please! But wait this show has another joke, and that's the fact that these cutesy idols are saying such crude things. At first, yeah seeing these girls say super inappropriate things was kinda funny but it got old fast. This show has a problem with repeating it's humor and using it to much to the point where it just ends up falling flat on its face. Instead of using it's comedy sparingly this show beats it's two jokes down to the ground with no room to breathe. Say whatever you want about something like Konosuba, at least that didn't only have two jokes and one of said jokes wasn't incredibly transphobic. The "animation" if you can even call it that is as ugly as the show. There isn't even any animation, it's just a slideshow with some lip flaps moving, which is made worse by the fact that the art in said slides isn't even pleasant to look at. If this is the quality that Gokushufudou fans are getting for the upcoming anime I feel terrible for them. The voice acting (dubbed) is really good but that's to be expected from all three of the main actresses who all have very impressive resumes. The music is very forgettable and bland, and nothing to write home about. All in all Back Street Girls: Gokudolls is a disgusting anime that fails both as a comedy and as an idol anime. If you want an idol anime that does things differently please go watch Zombieland Saga or Revue Starlight instead. Just watch anything but this.

Yakuza idols. Welcome to anime, where fucking yazuka idols exist. Quite the premise to take in when reading about this show. When I first heard about it, I thought it was so stupid. And after finishing it, it's still so stupid. But I still wanted to make a short review on my thoughts on it, so here they are: Comedy (1/10)Back Street Girls takes overexaggerated humor to the max and way past that to the degree that the jokes can get played out really quickly. It's just screaming with dramatic sound effects in the background and that's your comedy. That's just it. Because of that, the show just became a drag to watch by how unfunny it became with the amount of repetitive humor that the show provides (especially in the middle portion). It got old really fast. Characters (2/10) The sex changed idols were... interesting to say the least on paper. They all had some eccentric personalities to say the least, but no one stood out that much nor were likable whatsoever in the long run. Same really goes for the supporting cast as well. Pretty flat overall. Art & Animation (1/10) J.C Staff's art looks like every episode was drawn in 5 minutes. It looked horrendous. Sound (4/10) The OP song was pretty catchy, not gonna lie. Better than I expected for a show like this. The voice acting was decent but the overusage of sound effects like shocking thuds, was absurd. Felt really cheap listening to it with those stock sound effects playing over and over again. Enjoyment (0/10) It got incredibly repetitive, unfunny and stale really quickly with the obnoxious presentation and delivery of the humor. Reading the synopsis is probably the sole entertaining element about this anime. Back Street Girls: Goku Dolls was a disappointing comedy due to overdoing its comedy and underwhelming in its production. It sounded better on paper compared to how it was delivered, that's for sure. It's a shame since the same studio made Prison School, and they nailed that show's comedy and production. Score 1/10
