The story content being something out of Animal Planet, but the actual thing being a game show lols.

Shake hands with an otter, and you play Pepsi-Cola-1-2-3.

Bob Epic is just a court dance lols.

The pigeons are cannons...?

Female side: Watanabe Kumiko and Nishihara Kumiko (nee Watanabe) (Regina and Sharuru from Dokidoki! Precure).

Male side: Okamoto Nobuhiko and Abe Atsushi (Accelerator and Toma from A Certain Magical Index)

Also, thanks to having a FF skit with Minfilia in it, they have Sawashiro Miyuki there to say exactly one line LOL!

Popuko answer was great for the game show.
Poor Nyarlathotep couldn't answer.

I need that Popudealyn defeating Pipiark on a t-shirt.

You can pray but they wont return to Waking Sands.

I don't know if I feel comfortable about CGI segments by Toshiyuki Aoyama (I think that's it), especially this one where Pipimi has creepily realistic fingers. I mean, even the fingernail detail tho.

There's this weird white-colored octopus thing that pops up at the end of this week's OP sequence, which shows up in the second skit by Kamikaze Douga. If anything, all I've learned from this week's episode is that animals are crazy (especially birds) and drugs are cool. And for the Animal Planet/NatGeo main segment, it seems some kind of game show with an answering element and different points of the show. Again, Lovecraftian characters showing up and Popuko responding with a mochi corporation.

I love how the parodies are so subtle yet so prominent, that people who belong to the fandoms will be easily able to recognize them. I am pretty sure that the Animal Planet segment was a Jurassic Park reference, especially since the male half of the show made it more clear.

Stop it with FFXIV! I have plenty of games to play and don't need to get addicted to it again!

The first few segments with the mass screaming by Popu-chan, had to look up who that was to see it was Kumiko Watanabe, and reminding me of the moments she'd play as Mrs. Tachibana in Atashinchi and have segments where she'd scream ahahahahah
I legit almost thought it was Yuu Kobayashi considering she can get that crazy as well

Was more baked than my usual Pop Team Epic watch with this episode, fitting segments, hahaha.

Favourite Bob Epic Team in a while, I'd say, very funny.

I preferred the girl cast for this one but there were some fun deliveries and whatnot in the boy cast too, fun episode!

The first scene would've been perfect for episode 8.

Only two episodes left and I'm still hoping we'll get to see Hoshiiro Girldrop again.

These Square Enix segments are just outright advertisments. They're pretty lame.

The otter scene is peak comedy. And, Unyumaru was way funnier on the B-side, lmao.

Oh shit, Bakuman VA. I just finished watching that not too long ago, neat to see Eiji and that Jump reference.

I also really enjoyed Popuko's commentary on humanity's effect on the environment, lmao -- and, again, it seems like the Male VAs are having more fun in this segment. Actually commenting on the long documentary styled shots of animals.

A rather outrageous episode, I loved it.

In female VAs version of Bob Epic Team, the duo ends up singing a song that is censored. It actually is this:

Beauty Pair was a popular pro wrestling tag team back in the 70's who also were idol singers. I think it is Watanabe Kumiko, a pro wrestling nerd, who improvises this joke.

The coffee song was pretty good, Pipimi's caffeine addiction is off the charts though :P
