What the hell was that? Hahahahahahahahaha
If you’ve watched Pop Team Epic, you know exactly what to expect... and yet, at the same time, you have no idea what you’re in for. This TV special maintains the series' completely chaotic essence, delivering a string of sketches that mix absurd humor, pop culture references, parodies, abrupt art-style shifts, and moments so random that you just roll with them and keep watching.
The special is split into two short episodes, but it manages to pack so much variety onto the screen that it feels much bigger. Within minutes, you go from a totally nonsensical satire to surprisingly well-produced animation, followed by a joke that seems like it was written at 3 AM by someone completely out of their mind. And, curiously enough, it all works within the c…

As per April Fools tradition, I am obliged to review this entry continuously until I reach a point in which it can never get deleted due to external reasons (i.e. failure to follow simple guidelines).
So what do we have here? Pretty much everything Pop Team Epic is about, just slapped into a special episode, longer than the rest. It follows all the same gimmicks, that is surreal humour, memes, exaggerated story, and many more from the weird and wonderful mind of Jun Aoki.
I suppose I could speak about the story, but there isn't anything unique here to go on about. I don't know what you could expect other than a full outrage like something out of those crazy Asano Naoyuki shorts. But I suppose I can inform you that quality is consistent throughout the entire series. So that is a plus. Fro…

Hoshiiro Girldrop was one of my favorite animes of last year, and I went into the second season with the expectation that it would be similarly meaningful. And when it started off, I had every reason to believe that it would be. Needless to say, every episode was easily the highlight of its week, and I watched each one at least 28 times (maybe twice that for episode 10, which I’m sure other viewers will understand). But looking back on this season now that it’s reached its conclusion, it doesn’t fit together as neatly as I would have hoped. It sacrificed cohesion in favor of maximizing the bombast of every individual episode, and while I’m sure will appeal to some viewers, it fails to capture the magic that made the first season so special to me.
A major factor in this is that Daichi’s ro…

Hoshiiro Girldrop finally got an OVA and it's everything you'd expect and came to love from these cute girldrops.
While it may seem like a rethread of previous episodes, this new OVA in fact does bring in some new plot points you may not have anticipated before, effectively recreating the emotional roller coaster that was the original series. The charm and humor are still there, but what's most impressive is that since it's luring in you with a false sense of security, Hoshiiro Girldrop hits you hard with the cruel twist just right in the beginning and leaves you not knowing what to do. Indeed, the moment Sosogu literally rips herself in half is a defining moment for the Spring 2019 season.
Hoshiiro Girldrop est vraiment une marque de maîtrise. C'est la marque de hors-la-loi que vous co…

Art comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes and this anime proves that, it uses clay motion, stop motion and real life video from camera and all kinds of different animations to make you laugh.
This anime may not be for everyone like memes because not everyone the likes same memes, that is why. Our main caste duo is prefect for this kind of anime, they are weird and shown in all kinds of animation styles and still remain funny and relevant which is not easy feat to pull in my opinion. Sometimes papuko acts weird and other times its pimimi who acts weird, and their are times when everything is weird, from characters to the premise of the joke, but that is the beauty of this anime.
I really like how they use different animations styles to tell a joke and its unique to that animation style.…
