Encounter
2018-01-0724 min

An anime series about a girl who is secretly an idol is quickly thrown out the window in favor of the crazy, disjointed antics of Popuko and Pipimi. Among other skits, Popuko experiences death and rebirth as she experiences many first encounters with Pipimi, and the two girls go to France in an attempt to use gestures to communicate.

Synopsis

Poputepipikku turns absurdist comedy up to eleven with its pop culture references and surreal hilarity. With two bonafide high school girl protagonists—the short and exceptionally quick to anger Popuko, and the tall and unshakably calm Pipimi—they throw genres against the wall and don't wait to see what sticks. Parody is interlaced with drama, action, crudeness, and the show's overarching goal—to become a real anime.
