Back Street Girls -GOKUDOLS- - Recommendations

Josle says...

Both very good comedy mafia animes, highly recommend checking both out if you got some sense of humour.

StellaMacchia says...

The plot might be different but both have the same animation style which is manga motion and both are related to gangs.

Gorzkiewski says...

Both are comedies relying on yakuza placed in an unusual setting as a premise, and having minimal animation with a rather good voice acting as a stylistic/budget choice. 

Kari5 says...

Both of these are comedies about yazuka members doing very un-yakuza/manly things. The animation style is also a bit similar (not very fluid). Both are also (currently) available dubbed on Netflix in most countries. If you liked one, I'd recommend checking out the other.

Now plot wise these anime dont compare in the least outside of dealing with yakuza and somewhat making fun of em but when it comes to that fun Japanese humor, priceless facial expressions, great character development, and smooth story telling, thats where the similarities start to shine. If you enjoy one I'm sure you'll enjoy the other.

Hinamatsuri and Back Street Girls GOKUDOLS feature protagonists who are Yakuza who end up in a situation which forces them to take on more than they realize. Both shows are absolutely hilarious, heart warming, and chalk full of lovable characters and interactions. Hinamatsuri is more heartwarming, while BSGG is more about making the best out of an unconventional situation. Both are a great watch.

Both hilarous shows poking fun at the Yakuza.  Sure, they are pretty much complete opposites when it comes to the plot.  However, the humour used is quite similar!

NatsumeKhun says...

If you liked Back Street Girls -GOKUDOLS- or Zombieland Saga you will love the other!

They both feature:

• Unconventional Idols
• Great music
• Lovable cast
• Comedy
• Strange situation that made them idols
• Some serious moments that make you love them more

So I would certainly give both a shot!

When you watch both of these anime prepare to see unorthodox depictions of idol groups. Both sets of idols are comprised of individuals you wouldn't expect and are lead by managers who are comically abusive to their idols. Despite not being traditional idols, both groups also strive to be the best musical set they can be. Zombieland has more drama and conflict where Gokudolls is mainly comedy and slapstick. But both anime are great as idol deconstructions, especially if you don't normally like idol shows. 

Kari5 says...

Both of these shows are about yazuka members doing very un-yakuza-like activities (child care and idol activities). While Gokuidols leans more heavily on the comedy, I still think fans of one would like the other.

Twinkietaem says...

Both are comedic yakuza series, although use different comedy value (Babysitting uses more light hearted comedy, whilst GOKUDOLS uses slightly cruder humour). Both are enjoyable if yakuza-comedy is more your style

Jakounezumi says...

Feels like a lot of the humour really is quite similar :) I think that if you enjoy one you might well enjoy the other, though I do suspect that you will like Gokudols a more if you are a bit older.

Both have this cutesy cutesy front, one having maids and the other are idols, but each have the yakuza element. Akiba Maid has these maids murdering people left and right and Gokudolls has these grown men become idols. Both have pretty good comedy and good moments that make you enjoy it the whole way through.
