Pop Team Epic is good and fun but I hope they do more expansions on the original 4komas like the Australia gag and fewer ones where it's just the 4koma but moving like the birdseed one.

It looks like I'm the only one who gives a poo poo about this. Akabane Kenji and Takeuchi Shunsuke, who were Producers in the Idolm@ster and Cinderella Girls anime respectively, are the duet for the male version of the songs



So the show is basically the best thing ever is what I'm saying

Shocked I tell you
Second Half I am pretty sure was Ryusei Nakao as Popuko who did the voices of guys like Freeza, Caesar Clown and many other notable roles. While Popimi was Norio Wakamoto who was Cell, M Bison, (Good joke there) Nobunaga and many others.

Thought so too but the female voice actors were way better this time around in every skit.

The closest acceptable translation is
"die properly"
I'm not a huge seiyuu fan or whatever but I could've sworn I recognized Wakamoto's voice in one of the "Poputepiku" intros and I remembered the M. Bison outfit from the first half.

Mind-blowing setup for a meta joke. This is on a whole other level.

I'm glad we found out Popuko daisuki's mambo, I hope the best for their lesbian relationship

edit: Meta jokes aside, easily my second favorite episode, this show hasn't really worn out its welcome with me at all, although I think episode 2 was the best one so far, especially with the live action gag portion.

Norio Wakamoto instantly makes this the greatest thing ever made.

Cuckoo clock joke was on point, as was the red car.

Does funimation have enough notable male voice actors to make these jokes work? I feel like they need to pull in more guest voices if they want the M. Bison joke to still stick.

The VAs were great, but I felt like this episode had the weakest gags so far, and the delivery for some of the more iconic comics felt really lackluster to me...

Not to mention, they're still not really making the most of the repeated segments.

"PipiP came to a certain conclusion...The plan to clone lots of Pop-chins" took me totally off guard, I had to pause it to recover. The entire idol segment was genius.

It would be awesome if we got a conclusion to the clock gag next episode.

The translator's choice not to use "Mass Production" confuses me.

The show would be perfect if they did more altered jokes in the second halves, but it's still pretty great.

The French segment was actually much funnier without subtitles.

is the taste of a liar!"
I like that they animate the French segments differently.

I'm glad the smoking isn't censored because it confirms that Popuko is actually the timeless chaos-aligned gremlin that we ALL know she is and not a middle schooler. :colbert:

The french guy introducing the segment is the one who actually produced most of it.
