Now where exactly do I start with this?

Last night, a special episode of the self procaimed kuso-anime Pop Team Epic was aired on Japanese TVs and online media. And what better way to air a special for a show like this than on April Fools? King Records just shows us why they’re really King.

As you all may already know, Pop Team Epic usually runs the same episode twice back-to-back, with each part being voiced by a combination of seiyuus known for some kind of combination they have.


This time, they’ve done it. They’ve gone way over the top by having two back to back episodes with two halves voiced by a combination of two seiyuus over four different channel, all with different seiyuus. That makes for a total of THIRTY-TWO different seiyuus just for two part special. Now here’s a run-down on who appeared where:

And that’s not all! King Records even worked with Sunrise, and famous robot animator Masami Obari to work on the opening cut for the special! Here’s a screenshot from Obari’s Twitter.

But wait, that’s NOT even all. As you may already know, Aoi Shouta has returned for this episode and there will goods of Pop Team Epic featuring him as well if you purchase the Blu-Ray from specific websites. You can even get a T-shirt of the Pop Team Epic robot too!

The Blu-Ray for this episode will be on sale this month on the 17th so go grab yours! Once again, King has outdone themselves. Please for all of our sakes, don’t go further than this.

I personally really just want to watch each single version and laugh until I can laugh no longer.
