Should I Watch Back Street Girls: Gokudolls?
Japanese title: Back Street Girls -ゴクドルズ
English title: Back Street Girls: Gokudols
No. of Episodes: 10
Season: Summer 2018
My personal score: 7/10
Quick answer: Yes but with a pretty big if.
Gokudolls is an idol anime, but (trust me) it's definitely unique. A warning is simply necessary for
anyone thinking of watching this one as it's really unlike the typical fluffy friendship and idol
training journey type of idol anime.
The main genre is comedy, yes. But the humor is, putting it simply, more towards the crude side. Like I said
above, it feels really aimed at a specific group of audience. Overall it is funny though, but probably is
not the most recommended anime for children...
A possible issue for viewers with similar tastes as myself, would be that at one point, the jokes got a
little old, and it can start to seem a little boring (this might a bit rude to say as someone who's not an
anime creator, I know).
Though all in all, it is only 10 episodes, it's kinda really short.
All in all, wasn't superb, but still a good just-for-fun watch.
What's good:
- Pure comedy
- Great for a quick laugh
- Can be a good break in between longer series when you're binging one
What's not so good:
- There's a theme to the humor which might not be to everyone's taste
- Wasn't able to remain interesting when binged, but that might be personal
- I strongly believe that this is not too suitable for little kids
