Both anime feature very short episodes and a very odd sense of humor.

Chaotic CGI buffoonery, both have a similar vibe though Popee is a bit more random.

Texhnolyze addpermalink

Both has dark atmosphere, blood, philosophical plot, well-done animation, psychological horror, incredibly dramatic stories, religion themes and nihilistic crushing agony.

Osomatsu-san addpermalink

It seems like a lot of people who have watched Osomatsu san have also watched Popee the Performer (and Eddsworld but that's not an anime). Osomatsu and Popee are slapstick anime about guys doing funny things together and getting into absurd situations. They also have a lot of fangirls and fanart.

Bizarre, obscure and unique pieces of animation with dark themes. Both cult classics in their own way, in my opinion.

Itazuraguma no Gloomy addpermalink

You go into both, fully expecting a kids show, when instead you get something that is slightly terrifying and definitely off-putting. Both use 3-D animation (although in Popee it enhances the obscurity even more). 

Gloomy has voice acting, but Popee does not.

Kuuchuu Buranko addpermalink

I feel like if you liked Popee for it's surrealism, you'd appreciate Kuuchuu Buranko. They both have such similar color palettes (bright, bouncy, and neon) and tone while watching them.

Papa to Odorou addpermalink

Episodic anime where a lot of crazy stuff happens. Both are funny and not to be taken seriously. 

report Recommended by ProxyLain

Holo no Graffiti addpermalink

CGI animation that is not exactly high budget but actually gives a certain charm to the show, short episodes and style of comedy that often goes into bizzare situations.  

report Recommended by abystoma2

Gal to Kyouryuu addpermalink

Rare comedies that has similar vibes at times with the music, some sound effects, nonsense, surrealism, silent freeze moments where characters stare each other without any dialogue (or anything coming from their mouths in the case of Popee cuz it's mostly silent) and crazy things you don't see in the "normal" world.
Popee is more fast paced straight forward violence madness and to Gal & Dino is more slow surreal slice of life, but both have has some trippy and hilarious moments.

gdgd Fairies addpermalink

Both are CGI series with short episodes. Both feature bizarre CGI and surreal humor, but while gdgd Fairies is more relaxing, Popee the Performer is more brutal. Both are underviewed because most people don´t pick it up because of the animation, but if you won´t get sidetracked by such a thing, you should try these two.

Elec-king The Animation addpermalink

Both are short series with older CGI animation, CGI animation that is quite mplified and with questionable character design that makes the characters look weird, surreal ever. If you're a connoisseur of weird 3D CGI, you shouldn't miss out one these.

Gintama addpermalink

Althrought the story is diferent, both are comedies full of randomness and unexpected jokes.  Both main characters are making troubles for other, consciously or not. If you liked one, you´ll like another. While Gintama has more action, Popee the Performer is more dementia.

They both involve disturbing imagery and deal with the exorcism of spirits.

They are almost identical in terms of humor and even characters. Same goes for the style and overall impression of weirdness.

Petit Eva: Evangelion@School addpermalink

Both are comedies with short episodes. Both have simple, computer genrated 3D animation. Both cosist of mostly unrelated short stories. Both are full of randomness and lolwuts. While Popee the Performer is more dementia, Petit Eva: Evangelion@School is more of a parody.

Funny Pets 2nd Season addpermalink

Comedy about surreal hijinks of obviously mentally derranged individuals, animated in glorious 3DCG that only enhances the weirdness.

If you like some surreal and bizzare humor, done with not exactly detailed 3D CGI animation and with short episode format, then try these.

Mikan-Seijin addpermalink

Both are one of those weird, random, but still enjoyable anime. Both have "bad" art which actually 
befit the anime. Both have short episodes. If you liked one, you´ll may as well enjoy the other.
