Pop Team Epic
Anime can get bogged down by the tropes it has created over the last few decades. Pop Team Epic shatters any and all expectations of what an anime should be, and goes on to produce something wholly refreshing and delightfully surreal. Broken up into a series of minute-long skits, Pop Team Epic veers between wacky surrealism and heart-warming comedy. The show’s quick cuts and limitless subject matter give it a truly addictive quality. You’ll no doubt find yourself wide-eyed at 3 a.m., reaching for the remote to watch ‘just one more episode’
Pop Team Epic skewers everything from video games to movies, and does so at a blistering pace. It just might be the most meme-able anime to come out in the last five years, managing to offer something for everyone watching. It’s easy to see why the show has become so popular, and is definitely worth streaming on Crunchyroll.
