Synopsis

Somewhere in the desert lies the Wolf Zirkus: a strange circus where Popee, a clown in a pink rabbit jumpsuit, shares the stage with Kedamono, a purple creature who wears a mask. Together, they juggle the whims of performing, practicing their acts, and poking fun at each other. In a world where anything seems possible, there is no telling what will happen next during this eccentric spectacle.

Background

Popee the Performer's 11th episode was banned from being rebroadcast on Kids Station in Japan due to complaints about excessive violence in a children's show. A related concern led to episode 27 being released only on DVD.

I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to get out of Popee the Performer before jumping into it. Looking at profile picture showing a clown with rabbit ears, wielding a machine gun and a chainsaw I knew this wasn’t going to be something ordinary. Overall I was both amused and disgusted, but mostly amused.

There isn’t any real overall story in Popee the Performer. The episodes are independent of one another other than the inclusion of certain characters that are introduced over the course of the series. Popee, Kedomono, and Papi perform various feats of magic, acrobatics, and mysticism. This ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (30/39 eps)
This anime is an easy competitor for the most weirdest anime in the world. I'm sure that the logic of 90's CGI couldn't afford more than creepy animation models that should be worthy of a golden ham award and more entertainment than a slab of rye.
So the plot is simple, our protagonist is a rabbit clown that is a big jerk to his pet wolf. Then he goes on a psychotic rampage in order to kill him, and more nonsensical violence, bad sound effects and inside-out faces for some reason, it's like where playing a PS1 game that is literally out of control. But it ...

What the hell can I say about this show? It’s really weird! There is really no talking during the show and so hard to understand exactly what is going on in any of the episodes. All I gather is that Popee is a performer who ends up dieing or being tortured at the end of every episode and his dog laughs about it or ends up tortured as well. It makes me wonder just why it’s for little children.

The animation is rather rough. It looks slightly stiff and a couple times the movement doesn’t even have fluid movement. Many of the faces that are ...
