Headscratchers / Pop Team Epic

• Why are the DVD covers based on Die Hard posters? That's a strange reference to make, even for a series like Pop Team Epic.
  • Simple: the producer's a fan of the franchise. Also, considering how often this series makes references to pop culture that isn't Japanese like The Terminator and Disney, it isn't that strange of a reference to make when you think about it.
• Are we getting a Season 2 or not? The end of Episode 12 said that there would be a Season 2, and the series is doing successful enough to possibly get a second season. Yet at the same time, Okawa Bkub has been treating Episode 12 as the final episode, and one of the producers said in an interview from a month ago that they aren't doing a second season. Is a second season being made or not?
  • This is Pop Team Epic, they'll mess with our heads long enough to make us distracted in what will happen next.
  • They're probably gauging interest because the same director said this entire project was both risky and ambitious, so maybe if the sales are good.
  • That Season 2 announcement is for Hoshiiro Girldrop...you know, the fake, nonexistent anime. It's safe to say currently there isn't any plan to make one for Pop Team Epic.
    • But at the same time, the Pop Team Epic pop up shop has made a poster for a second season of the show. And I'm not sure whether or not this poster is a joke.
    • That possibly just means a second run of the pop up shop. Remember, the manga volumes are referred to as 'seasons' as well.
  • Season 2 is announced.
• What were Popuko and Pipimi eating in the end credits?
  • Baked sweet potatoes.
