My favorite anime of all time is.... Pop Team Epic. You don't know what it is?

An anime adaptation of Pop Team Epic was announced on April 2, 2017. It was initially teased as an adaptation of Hoshiiro Girldrop on April Fool's Day 2017. The anime features animation by Kamikaze Douga and production by King Records,[16] and is directed by Jun Aoki and Aoi Umeki.[17] The series aired 12 episodes between January 7 and March 25, 2018, following a delay from October 2017 due to an "error by King Records".[10][18] Taking after its source manga, the anime takes the form of an animated skit show, featuring numerous, typically disjointed shorts of varying lengths; while some of these shorts are adapted from the original comic strips, the majority of them are original creations. The various shorts collectively showcase a variety of animation styles, most often CGI, professional-looking 2D animation, and idiosyncratic animation from AC-bu (ja). Each half-hour episode features two near-identical 15-minute segments, each containing different voice actors and other subtle differences. The opening theme is "Pop Team Epic" by Sumire Uesaka,[19] while the ending theme titled "Poppy Pappy Day" is sung by Popuko (Yui Makino/Kenji Akabane (ep 1-6), Hiromi Igarashi/Toshiki Masuda (ep 8-9, 11)) and Pipimi (Yui Watanabe/Shunsuke Takeuchi (ep 1-6), Rei Matsuzaki/Wataru Hatano (ep 8-9, 11)), with Shouta Aoi performing the theme for episode 12. The ending theme for episode 10 is "Jinsei" (人生, lit. life) also by the Igarashi/Matsuzaki and Masuda/Hatano duos. The opening theme for episode one is "Twinkling Star" by Yui Ogura, Inori Minase, and Sumire Uesaka.[4] Sentai Filmworks simulcasted the series on Hidive.[20] Crunchyroll simulcasted the series worldwide outside of Asia.[21] Funimation simulcasted the English-dubbed version in English-speaking territories as it aired;[22] Funimation also acquired the rights to release the anime on home video in North America.[23] Funimation also arranged the series to air on Adult Swim's Toonami starting June 30, 2018.[24] In Australia and New Zealand, Madman Entertainment simulacasted the series in both subtitled and dubbed on AnimeLab.[25] Aniplus Asia simulcasted the series in South East Asia.[26]
