Pop Team Epic English Sub & Dub

About Pop Team Epic

Pop Team Epic (ポプテピピック) arrives as a comedy anime by Kamikaze Douga (2018), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Poputepipikku turns absurdist comedy up to eleven with its pop culture references and surreal hilarity. With two bonafide high school girl protagonists—the short and exceptionally quick to anger Popuko, and the tall and unshakably calm Pipimi—they throw genres against the wall and don't wait to see what sticks.

Beyond that: Parody is interlaced with drama, action, crudeness, and the show's overarching goal—to become a real anime.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Narrator (Joey Bizinger) and Popuko (Mikako Komatsu) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
