I don't think it's very effective tranny propaganda. Most of the humor is derived from how miserable the these guys are and they're only trannies in the first place because their boss wanted them to suffer a fate worse than death. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends with triple murder-suicide.

Sure the subs are shit, but that doesn't make up for the ugly art and total lack of visual movement. Half the time it's not even the characters in vision when they're making jokes, but some random scenery shot. The VAs do their best but the jokes aren't presented as well as they should be.

It goes a little deeper. If I'm recalling correctly, J.C.Staff has worked more and more with Netflix after they failed to secure the rights to One Punch Man Season 2 and lost out on a lot of profits for their small-time studio. There was some big reddit-tier controversy over it but I wasn't paying attention to that at the time. If we're being completely honest, J.C.Staff is nearly bankrupt right now so this is probably their attempt to get some cash flow into their studio on breadcrumbs while still trying to secure the rights to season 2 of OPM. It just feels more right to blame their relationship with Netflix for this one though.
