posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Aniplus-Asia announced on Tuesday that it will air a simulcast of the second season of the Pop Team Epic television anime series. The simulcast will premiere on October 2 at 1:00 a.m. GMT +8.
The anime will premiere in Japan on October 1.
Crunchyroll describes the series:
Crude, rude, and a little…cute? Get ready for the larger-than-life attitude of Popuko and Pipimi, the small and tall stars of Pop Team Epic! Based off the bizarre four-panel webcomic by Bukubu Ōkawa comes a comedy that'll throw you off with its out-there jokes and intense absurdity. You think you're ready for these girls? Think again, F#%**er!
The original broadcast of the first series featured Masashi Ebara and Houchu Ohtsuka as Popuko and Pipimi in the first episode's first half, and Yūji Mitsuya and Noriko Hidaka as Popuko and Pipimi in the second half.
The first television anime series premiered in January 2018. Aniplus-Asia aired a simulcast of the first season.
The original anime's full episodes are each 23 minutes long. Each episode has two main parts with much of the same content. The two parts have different voice actors, as well as some different content such as altered jokes.
The anime adapts a surreal four-panel manga by Bkub Okawa that centers around two 14-year-old girls, the short Popuko and the tall Pipimi.
