Pop Team Epic

This is a 2:15 (4:30 including the rerun) short created to promote the (JRA) Japan Racing Association's Umabi service. The short is interactive originally, insofar as you can create your own character who will then appear in the audience at given points in the short. This video uses the default character provided.

Popuko and Pipimi discuss potential careers in the future, playing out a scene where Popuko plays a convenience store clerk being hassled by both Pipimi and Cthulhu, before it degenerates into a certain film. Other skits include Popuko allured by a food truck, a clay-mation of Pipimi playing Daruma Otoshi, and Pipimi telling Popuko what 1+1 is. The post-credit scene is the chapter 1 opening scene of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XV, called "Departure", only with Popuko masks on Noctis, Gladious, and Prompto, and a Pipimi mask on Ignis. The prologue skit and opening animation is done by Sunrise (Bandai Namco Filmworks) with Masami Obari as the supervisor.

In Japan during its Edo Era, Pipimi is giving Popuko combat training when they accidentally kill a mountain deity, forcing them to battle a demon the deity kept at bay in a biker bar with a return appearance by Shouta Aoi (JP: himself, EN Voice: Apphia Yu). Other skits include a song about how stupid the anime series is and how they ran out of voice actors to play the lead characters, using the power of imagination to get revenge on your boss, and Pipimi bringing a flower back to life. The Hoshiiro Girldrop season 2 opening animation is done by Asura Film and was parodied by Team AC.

An anime series about a girl who is secretly an idol is quickly thrown out the window in favor of the crazy, disjointed antics of Popuko and Pipimi. Among other skits, Popuko experiences death and rebirth as she experiences many first encounters with Pipimi, and the two girls go to France in an attempt to use gestures to communicate.

Popiko and Pipimi are inadvertently summoned to an unfinished fantasy anime and makes the heroes do impressions, much to the voice actors' consternation. Other skits include a stop-motion musical performance by felt dolls of Popuko and Pipimi, Popuko drawing a deluge of fortune slips, and Popuko being confronted with the harsh reality of time's passage.

A documentary profiles how music producer PipiP decided to find the perfect bandmates for pop idol Pop-chin by cloning her. Other skits include Popuko dozing off while leaving for school and severely oversleeping, Popuko becoming obsessed with baguettes while in France (continuing from the "gestures" sketch in episode 1), and Pipimi attempting to hire Popuko as an assassin.

The best shit anime around is back! No, really. Who let them come back?

Have you ever been Obari'd?

We came to farm.
