THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I actually laughed at the beginning bit with the live action, and when they had the male VAs in the second half sing. So we're definitely on the up and up.

Also, the OP was unironically really good, what the hell.

Pop Team Epic's OP > Hoshiro Girldrop's OP

Another thing that changes in the second half is the live-action bit with the VAs reacting to the producer. It's much more dramatic/worth the watch.

Is it bad to say that I am jealous of Pop Team Epic's second episode? Because it did a far greater 4th wall break than Animegataris and Re:Creators. I am VERY jealous right now! 😤

The first joke I laughed at (and only one in the series) was the voice actor one, that one was genuinely clever.

Besides that, another grossly unfunny episode IMO... but the OP is surprisingly good and straight forward.

Right. I've read the manga, but in terms of the anime, it seems like they're going for a shorter and even more random Gag Manga Biyori.

Holy crap. That's a random Abyss reference. It wasn't even trying to hide it. They referenced Nanachi by name. Lol.

The opening and insert song is actually good, all jokes aside. I'm pleasantly and weirdly surprised.

The ad-lib with the voice actors were pretty funny. I liked the second one better imo.

They are not trolling us again, yay!
Well, not more than Poputepipikku itself, at least.
The real OP is really cool. I love how they animated manga pages for this, especially Angry Popuko's Face. And I really like how they do various things such as those dolls or seiyuu, they don't depend only on manga. I appreciate it.
Honestly, I think it might already be the best anime this year. It's just special, unique.
I don't mind "2x the same episode but with different VAs" because all of us would rewatch those 12 minutes anyway, so they're doing us a favor. And as I said after episode 1, I like those male voices 'cause for me they're like that voice you hear in your head when you read manga (but if you can hear actual voices while reading manga which has no anime yet, I envy you).
And they're continuing that preview gag, huh? I hoped it would be a one time thing, but oh well.
I was laughing almost all the time. It's something more than a simple manga adaptation.

I love how this is so much faithful to the manga and extending some of the strips.

I find the Bob Team Epic thing to be a little annoying but whatever.

Is the first skit with the voice actors a parody of Konosuba and the 'how you doin?' a parody of friends? I know later it is the Ring after the voice actors left the room lmao

The OP is fire. xD

The summoning segment in the beginning was funny.
The seiyuu stuff is fantastic, I was laughing so hard at that. The second part where they made the male seiyuu sing the song was gold. xD

Apart from what I mentioned above, the others weren't so funny.

Before I begin, the OP is surprisingly well done and animated, matches the show very well.

Also, lets just talk about how well done the stop-motion sequence is? The song is extremely infectious.


Also the Bob Epic Team sequences are becoming more and more nightmare fuel with each episode o_o

I also appreciate the running gag of Hoshiiro Girldrop. Its probably could be a decent standalone show

Look forward to next week's episode

Oh by the way, about the secret in the map of that famous sextuplet, I tried pressing every button but the screen stays black. What's up with that? If that wasn't enough, the Kirara Guild fleet opened fire! See you in the next episode, "Sakura is not a monster!

Pop Team Epic's OP is better than your favorite anime's OP.

Loved the first joke, I was really wanting them to go live action with actors and they did it. The first time was funny, but the second time when they were playing keep away with the producer's glasses was even funnier.

Really liked the female voices this time.

I just love how much they don't care, they're doing whatever they want and completely messing with us in the process. What makes this so great is that you never know what you're going to see. Plus it's just one giant multi-million yen shitpost.

This anime is like a giant shitpost which I appreciate but I'm not going to watch an episode twice just to hear it with different voices, I'd prefer to watch something new instead. It's alright so far but the jokes are hit and miss.
