LMAO That Nakazato reference hit me hard, i didn't expect that.

Episode felt short, but was funny.

BTW we didn't get to see what's going on with the clock from the last episode? Okay...

More and more of my favorite voice actors appear. It makes everything even more hilarious.
Alien part was my favorite, it was gross, stupid and funny.
And am I the only one who see that more or less but Hoshiiro Girldrop's previews show what we can expect from Poputepipikku's next episode?

That was quite an odd race. There was an Initial D reference with Takeshi and his GTR. GTR the invincible! There were some references I didn't get.

the Let’s Pop Together is surprisingly better when the males VA sing it to be honest, it become really catchy.

some of the jokes are really simple yet funny. like the first and second Bob Team Epic with the teasing of the old man and alien, that was gold.

the Demon Lord part is also very stupid.

10/10 not enough Hoshiro Girldrop

The series is funnier when male voice actors gives voice to Popuko and Pipimi. For some reason, it fits them better.
On another note, Bob Team Epic looks like one of those creepy experimental animation shorts. I don't know if tit's suposed to be funny or disturbing.

I'm not even sure why I knew that GTR thing was an Initial D reference since I haven't seen Initial D.

The shitposting popping up on-screen during the "Let's Pop Together" song was pretty funny.

this one was the most laughs this series got out of me so far... Bob's epic team are both great and the race sketch was great.

Also, was that John K. dude a John Krisfalusci reference (creator of ren&stimpy)? That'd be cool af

I love pop team epic. The references, the music, but most of all the randomness are perfect in my opinion.

This episode felt a bit more structured then the other ones, there were very few extremely unexpected things. I still really liked the episode, the race part felt really natural to the show, and flowed well. Just a good, enjoyable episode.

1st part : Hikasa Youko x Satou Satomi
2nd part : Genda Tessho x Kamiya Akira

I think Kamiya pulled Kenshirou's signature battle-cry during one of the eye catches. At least he was trying to hint at it.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned, but they're clearly pairing up seiyuu by major anime they've been in together. It's verified once again this week.

How the hell they:

2. Having Bakazato as GTR cameoing in this kuso anime

3.Having original Kenshiro Fist of North Star voiced Pipimi

Best gag was the "corner against the wall" one. That was actually really clever. Also, liked this one's beginning sketch. So far, funniest episode yet.

And this episode especially, damn those great references, especially the Initial D one!

Wacky Races, Cool Running and Top Gun shout-outs, in my Pop Team Epic? Bkub knows his classics.

They turned simple manga page of Pipimi breaking the wall into a Donkey Kong Country reference, ending with the destruction of the Takeshobo building. That is freaking clever.

I liked the Let's Pop Together song. Too bad CR didn't translate it, because it's quite funny. it's basically a big "fuck you" to the haters. Also, the entire music video is a reference to Earth, Wind And Fire

Translated lyrics for those interested

Bob Team Epic was also quite funny, especially with the alien.

Personally, I liked the first half better. While Male!Popuko was good, I was less impressed with Male!Pipimi. Plus, that half had less lines.

Eh, for some reason I just couldn't make it through this episode.

The initial shock value and pure absurdity of this series that drove me to watching it in the first place has subsided.

Look to Nichijou if you want a better gag-style comedy anime.

Well that Let's Pop Together went completely over me, if anyone could explain where was the value in it, I would appreciate it.
Otherwise, the spotlight of this episode were obviously the Bob sketches. The first one had me do a full-fledged "LOL". Also have learnt some new words.
I also like how Stark is not starting the episode threads. No one seems to be re-telling the episodes anymore. Such a bliss.

I think this anime has spent more energy than any other. Concentration of seiyu at single episode is critical.

I like this show so much! It's so random. It's brainless. But it's hilarious and entertaining. I've seen enough "dementia" tagged animated shorts or experimental films that made no sense but Pop Team Epic is more fun to watch than any of those nonsensical experimental films combined.

Also, isn't that Inori Minase voicing Shizuku in the Hoshiro Girldrop preview? o.O I could really recognize her voice! I'm already aware of what the characters for the Kanji of her name look like, and I'm positively sure it's her name I saw in the credits. In that case..... I heard Rem's voice in this anime! LOL! <3 If only Inori Minase voiced Popuku or Pipimi instead in a different episode. That would be the bomb! <33
