Plot
[edit]In a world where nuclear arms have been outlawed and brilliant leader George W. Bush has eliminated firearms, the law is enforced by sword-wielding police. But aliens from another world have infiltrated this peaceful culture through a wormhole and only the Danger Dolls, a female quartet with unique powers can identify and destroy them. In order to keep their identity secret, the four girls, Arisa, Rei, Miki and Mari, go undercover as a J-pop idol group, the "i.Dolls".
