I remember the promo for this episode being Pop Team Epic's version of Endless Eight...and well that's the right treatment it ever had.

The road to revenge still relies on YouTube and bamboo gang...

Still an episode filled with weird idiosyncrasies that stick so absurdly real to life...

2/3 of the way through...and still cruising on like nobody cares...

If you do Eisai Haramasukoi 100 times a day, do you turn into one punch man?

once again, Bob Team Epic is pretty good, the personification of action video is hillarious, and when the male seiyuus sing the ED, is always better than the female ones. wish we have more of those sand art at the end though, it looks good.

this one is pretty good, but i was busy thinking about hellshake yano...

What a great episode. That beginning with bacon was the weirdest and I love it. Yakuza part - they even made it look like an old move!
You can say everything about PTE but not that it isn't beautiful. Even though it was short, sand drawing part was gorgeous.

Eisai haramasukoi!

Yakuza segment was my favorite part this time.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

That Bacon strip skit was really well adapted from the manga. Now reading that same thing seems lackluster in a way.

The Yakuza part was super well executed, it really looked like an old mafia movie, with its repetitive music and all. I'm pretty sure all of you've noticed, but it even has these black and white dots that pop up randomly on the screen, that was a really nice touch.

In this episode I believe the male VAs did better, maybe because their voices fit Yakuzas much better that those of the female VAs and Popuko's seiyuu really nails her character.

Has this breaken the Bad episode after Good episode curse? 'Cause this was pretty great.

5/5

You sir are a true hero.

I wanted to see more with the bacon strip.

the male voices were phenomenal in the yakuza segment.

I need more of pop team tales of long ago.

damn it why is the ending better with male voices than female?

The most consistently hilarious episode so far. I laughed the entire time. I loved the Yakuza one especially. It was terrific.

It really feels like they've got the formula down now. The episodes continue to increase in quality.

Eisai haramasukoi! It'll catch on!

I did not get why the comics guy alerted Popuko so much, but well, I am not getting half the references, guess I am too pure for this critique. And then the final skit was golden.

Eisai! Haramasukoi! Why does Popuko look like she's doing Blanka's standing Heavy Punch and Crouching Heavy Kick?

YEAH!

Lol that fighting game segment was cool. Guilty Gear and G Gundam. ^_^

LOL the Bacon segment for the Male VA!

"Stay. Stay."

I loved the bandage segment. Both the Female and Male VAs did awesome this episode.

This episode was great. Loved how the mafioso were all bamboo people (one of the many times the show gives the middle finger to Takeshobo). That sour face after licking the lemon cracked me up.

When Popuko got shot, I knew she wouldn't stay dead for long.

I love when the Bob Epic Team skits expand on jokes in the manga. I still don't get what makes that uglky art style great, but it somehow does.

And can someone tell me what drugs the AC-Bu guys are taking, so I can some myself? The bit with the tape was utterly disturbing, and I loved it.

I like how the video game bits include small snippets of the manga in them. I keep being impressed how one guy creates all that.

Too bad it only aired on one channel. I wouldn't mind watching that.

I guess that should give some indication regarding the show's budget. Heck, it's probably one of the highest budgeted shows this season.

The short about the Yakuza is a tribute to the older Japanese films about the Yakuza after the second war, but the short was bad!!! Well, all the episode was bad, even the "Bob Team Epic Classic Tales", it was a change in the animation style, but the plot was a fool!!!

This episode went by quite quickly! Fun episode, numerous funny scenes, like the ending song.

The only thing this show does better than Osomatsu-san is the alternate universe skits.

First half was more enjoyable this time, but... I appreciated the FKMT reference in the second half! Didn't recognize him, but one of the voice actors from Kaiji was actually there. The guy who voices Ichijou voiced Pipimi, did a very different voice though, haha.
