Like every ep of PTE, the rerun has a different VA. This time, it's the Narrator, Koichi Yamadera, doing the B-side.

Are there any other anime that are just this....bizarre? I've loved this show since it premiered in 2018, but I can't think of anything at all like it. I've heard comparisons to Robot Chicken, but how the series involves the work of so many different animators, it's got more of a Cartoon Sushi vibe to me.

I can also only imagine how beyond bkub's wildest dreams that this show would end up being. It just goes from being this weird yonkoma with these two foul-mouthed gremlins taking shots at anime and manga and their culture to this unhinged show.

Surreal comedy anime are an entire genre.
Notably theres nichijou which similarly occasionally delves into being way too well animated for a gag a minute anime.

But PTE is kind of unique since its all collabs and cameos from the beginning.

My first exposure to them was some 13 years ago with some indie music videos they made. I'm happy to see them growing up.

I don't think there's any other TV anime that I would call experimental like I might with Pop Team Epic, and a good chunk of that is them deciding to give money to AC-Bu and letting them do whatever the gently caress. I mean it's not just them, the bit with the french studio in the first season I would throw in that category, but still.

Today on PTE2: our heroines play Fortnite.

A side: Asami Sanada and Kyoko Hikami (Di Gi Charat)
B side: Kenyuu Horiuchi and Akio Ohtsuka (who's apparently a big fan) (They've crossed paths a bunch of times over the decades so it's hard to single out any one show.)

There's a couple things I loved about today's episode. The characters in the throwback first bit were spot-on; you could absolutely see them being some rando in a 90s shonen anime. I also liked that crunchy decided to give those bits yellow subs; just a nice little touch.

The Final Fantasy 14 segment was just for me, though.

Fuck the DH
I just want to thank whoever chose to use the thick outlined yellow subtitles for the 'aged show' segment. Not quite as strong as the Train Fight, but I like those nonetheless. The guy pulling out a lightsaber was also pretty ace. I don't know if it's just a tokusatsu thing but it seems like in 84-94 Japanese media had quite a thing for trying to do the lightsaber special effects (Kamen Rider ZO and Bioman both use 'em.)

The AC-bu segments are simply masterpieces at this point.

I love that they absolutely nailed the color palette for that era of anime.

Also, for some reason, that Brazil theme park is a real place that's somehow still in business.
