There's no way Daichi is seriously asking Sosugu to give up her career, right? That has to be a misunderstanding.

"This taste...

is the taste of a liar!"
I appreciate that, not only did they keep doing the Hoshiro Girldrop previews, but part of the joke was that you only needed the previews to know what was going on in the story. The proposal was a nice touch, though.

That and...everything about the last episode? I wouldn't even care if we don't get a season two because it's such a good one to go out on, but we absolutely need the AC-BU version of "Ah, you are motherfucker?" next time.

i'm pretty sure for the smoking ban to be a thing, it has to be an explicitly underage character

they showed Popuko and Pipimi's ages in one episode for like 5 seconds and they were both almost 30 (I wanna say it said Popu was 27 and Pipi was 29?), and in general they seem more like they're meant to be young adults in the 20-30 range than teenagers

They're like 14 iirc. There are a couple of mangs strips where they're in school and Popuko is just hanging up sexy posters on the wall in class

Popuko says she's 14 in the first episode.

But yeah, it's mostly because they're more omnipresent gremlins than actual people.

Nah, their age being 14 is actually one of the very few canonical facts about these characters. In the manga collections and promo material their character profiles are always just "Popuko, 14, Short." and "Pipimi, 14, tall" it's mentioned a few times in the anime too.


Their standard outfit is a middle school uniform and most strips portray them as being teenagers; they have classmates, go to school, Popuko has a provisional driver's license and went to career counseling, they talk about growing up, etc. they're pretty much always 14 except when they're not.

The jury is out on Hellshake Yano's canonical age but I have many exciting theories.

older than you'd think theory: Hellshake is one of those guys who's actually much older than they look. Like Shouta Aoi

eternal theory: Hellshake Yano is the latest incarnation of an entity that embodies true showmanship, reborn once every few centuries

future theory: Hellshake Yano hasn't been born yet. Pipimi was experiencing a premonition.

My favorite main story bit was the ginza hostess murder mystery. Where they're normally the odd ones out in the story their personalities weirdly fit into this story with a slight tweak to their professions.

I'm a big fan of that one too. For all the Japanese media it was mimicking in that segment I got a brief taste of what Pop Team Epic's Miss Marple would be like.

Favorite duo was easily Ataru (Furukawa) and Megane (Chiba). Now those were some dag-gone childhood feelgood memories right there.
