Pop Team Epic (Japanese: ポプテピピック, Hepburn: Poputepipikku), also known as Poptepipic, is a Japanese four-panel surreal comedy webcomic and digital manga series written and illustrated by Bkub Okawa (alternatively romanized as "Bukubu Okawa"), which started serialization on Takeshobo's Manga Life Win website in August 2014. Takeshobo has released three volumes in Japan. The manga is licensed in North America by Vertical.

The manga chronicles the misadventures of two 14-year-old girls named Popuko and Pipimi, who encounter a variety of both mundane and bizarre situations and respond to them in equally bizarre and exaggerated ways. The manga is noted for its frequent parodies of pop culture and its combination of surrealism, absurdity, and non-sequitur, all of which have contributed to it developing a cult following among both Japanese and Western audiences. An anime television series adaptation animated by Kamikaze Douga and produced by King Records aired between January and March 2018; two additional episodes aired in April 2019.

Anime

An anime adaptation of the series was announced on April 2, 2017. It was initially teased as an adaptation of Hoshiiro Girldrop on April Fool's Day 2017. The anime features animation by Kamikaze Douga and production by King Records,[18] and is directed by Jun Aoki and Aoi Umeki.[19] The series aired 12 episodes between January 7 and March 25, 2018, following a delay from October 2017 due to an "error by King Records".[9][20] A television special aired on April 1, 2019 which consists of episodes 13 and 14.[21]

Taking after its source manga, the anime takes the form of an animated parody show, featuring numerous, typically disjointed skits of varying lengths; while some of these shorts are adapted from the original comic strips, the majority of them are original creations. The various shorts collectively showcase a variety of animation styles, most often CGI, professional-looking 2D animation, and idiosyncratic animation from Team AC (AC部, AC-bu). Each half-hour episode features two near-identical 15-minute segments, each containing different voice actors and other subtle differences.

The opening theme for episodes 2-10 is "Pop Team Epic" by Sumire Uesaka,[22] while the ending theme titled "Poppy Pappy Day" is sung by Popuko (Yui Makino/Kenji Akabane (ep 1-6), Hiromi Igarashi/Toshiki Masuda (ep 8–9, 11)) and Pipimi (Yui Watanabe/Shunsuke Takeuchi (ep 1-6), Rei Matsuzaki/Wataru Hatano (ep 8–9, 11)), with Shouta Aoi performing the theme for episode 12. The ending theme for episode 10 is "Jinsei" (人生, lit. life) also by the Igarashi/Matsuzaki and Masuda/Hatano duos. The opening theme for episode one, which opened with a Hoshiiro Girldrop segment, is "Twinkling Star" by Drop Stars (Yui Ogura, Inori Minase, and Uesaka).[23] Episode 12 used the classical music pieces Night on Bald Mountain and Dies Irae in its storyline. The opening theme for the first half of the special is "last sparkle" by Uesaka, while the second half uses the opening theme, "Pretty candle star" by Drop Stars (Ogura, Minase, and Uesaka) in the first part and Shunsuke Itakura and Tōru Adachi of Team AC in the second part. The insert song and ending theme for the first half are "Popuko ni Sauce" (ポプ子にソース, lit. "Sauce for Popuko") and "Fûsen Hikô" (風船飛行, lit. "Balloon Flight"), respectively; both are sung by Popuko (Yuka Ozaki/Kent Ito) and Pipimi (Aya Uchida/Ryuichi Kijima). The insert song for the second half is "Bansaku neender", sung by the Ozaki/Uchida and Ito/Kijima duos, with Shouta Aoi singing his version of the ending theme "Fūsen Hikō" (風船飛行, lit. "Balloon Flight"), as well as his own ending theme, "AOI Traveler."

Sentai Filmworks simulcast the series on Hidive.[24] Crunchyroll simulcast the series worldwide outside of Asia.[25] Funimation simulcast the English-dubbed version in English-speaking territories as it aired;[26] Funimation also acquired the rights to release the anime on home video in North America.[27] Funimation also arranged the series to air on Adult Swim's Toonami starting June 30, 2018.[28] In Australia and New Zealand, the series simulcast on AnimeLab.[29] Aniplus Asia simulcast the series in Southeast Asia.[1] The series became available on Netflix in February 2020 in what was originally 11-minute episodes. It was replaced by the original half-hour format due to complaints from users.[30]

Marketing

The Nendoroid figures of Popuko and Pipimi, dressed as Batman Ninja's Batman (voiced by Kōichi Yamadera) and Joker (voiced by Wataru Takagi) respectively, were displayed at the Warner Bros. booth at AnimeJapan 2018. It was suggested by Junpei Mizusaki at Kamikaze Douga; the studio animated both Pop Team Epic television series and Batman Ninja film. The crossover figures were accompanied by a 15-second television commercial, where Popuko and Pipimi (in the aforementioned costumes and being voiced by the film's respective voice actors) re-enact a sketch from Pop Team Epic comics before it jumps to a Batman Ninja scene.[31][32]

On April 26, 2018, Japan Racing Association's Umabi.jp website launched the Pop Team Epic Kinen (ポプテピ記念, Poputepi Kinen) campaign, where users can create a customised avatar of either Popuko or Pipimi as a virtual spectator. It also hinted a surprise to be revealed when a number of avatars reaches one million.[33] As the number reached one million in late May 2018,[34] the JRA released a branded webisode on 14 June 2018.[35] Produced by Space Neko Company (which animated Pop Team Story segments and some of short sketches in the TV series), Mikako Komatsu and Ryusei Nakao reprised their role as Popuko in the first and second halves respectively, and so did Sumire Uesaka and Norio Wakamoto as Pipimi.[35] The JRA also held promotional events at Tokyo Racecourse.[33][35]
