Pop Team Epic

Synopsis

Pop Team Epic elevates absurd comedy to extreme levels through its relentless cultural references and surreal humor. The series centers on two high school girls: Popuko, who is short and fiercely hot-tempered, and Pipimi, her tall and disturbingly calm counterpart. They unhesitatingly blend genres, mixing parody, drama, action, and crude comedy together. Their ultimate goal is to become a real anime.

Background

Poputepipikku is based on bkub Ookawa's 4-koma manga series of the same title. Each episode consists of a 12-minute segment repeated twice. The repeated segment contains a different voiceover by another voice actor with variations on the skits. A remixed rerun titled Pop Team Epic Repeat, which mixes up the voice actors from the original run, began airing from October 9, 2021 and is being simulcast by Crunchyroll. It also features re-recorded versions of the AC-BU segments and Japanese dubs of the Japon Mignon segments. There are also visual differences in the Repeat version.
