Though Pop Team Epic will surely return the favor next season with a big middle finger. Starring the short-fused and foul-mouthed Popuko and her cool-headed partner in crime Pipimi, this surreal comedy is packed to. The sketch comedy anime, Pop Team Epic, is definitely out there, to say the least. When Batman and Pokémon tip their hats to you, you know you’re good.

The “Hellshake Yano” sketch is also honestly the best thing that my eyes have seen all year and it’s a strong example of what this show can pull off.The series looks great and is funny as hell, but Pop Team Epic also thrives because of a rabid fan community that rivals that of shows that have been around for decades. Pop Team Epic pushes this drugged out variety show quality that feels distinctly different than anything else that’s out there (except perhaps for Robot Chicken, but this easily gives that a run for its money). The voice actors in the “Bob Team Epic” version go for broke and there are even jokes made from which voice actors are being used together. It’s always a weird surprise, but it’s crazy that it’s a version of this show that takes itself even less seriously.

This show is determined to re-invent the medium and it’ll straight up smash the status quo to pieces if necessary. The show’s theme song begins with a television that’s playing “conventional” anime before it gets destroyed by a mace-like bat. Pop Team Epic wears its gonzo post-modern attitude on its sleeve. Where else are you going to see My Little Pony, Naruto, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Skyrim all attacked in the same 20 minutes?
