So... is it wrong that I actually kind of want to watch the fake anime they keep showing?

Not at all. I want to watch it too.

The key to this kind of series is that it is only as funny as you want it to be.

I never saw the original comics. All I know of Bkub's work is that he made that tricycle Chen comic.

I'm sorry, Japan. I don't know what I did to you to make you create Pop Team Epic, but I am very sorry that you felt this was the justified response.

I take it this is why the trailer played twice in one spot.

Meh, you guys are being too hard on this show. Its actually pretty fun, just very offputting at first due to its very shitpost-y nature.

Oh my God I realized why they have both male & female VA’s.

Oh wow we have to watch this twice.

Context: Each episode has (different) male and female voices for the leads. Hence the repeat.

[up][up][up], [up] That being said, that's pretty much the point of it; it's completely intentional.

[up][up] I'm having a blast here (partially thanks to everyone's WTF reactions [lol]), but I stumbled onto the comics and the subbed version of the anime some time ago, so I'm already acclimated to the pure batshit insanity we see before us.

The humor is suuuuper weird, but I don't mind it. Not really feeling this repeated nature for the first episode though.

The "joke" is that the second half of the episode is done with entirely different voice actors.

Like I don’t mind the humor it’s just I don’t think doing everything twice is a good idea.

Also that was a Skyrim reference I think.

[up] It’s a very well-hidden joke. tongue

Classic big fish, small pond scenario.

This is from way back from My Hero Academia, but I still feel the need to comment on this: Big fish in small pond implies the person in question was great in a small area, but only average (or worse) in a larger area, and that is not the case here. Bakugo is decidedly not average, even for U.A.; He's just not the undisputed best like he thought he'd be.

@ Lennik: Yep. And the 99999 damage attack was Crono's Luminaire.

@ LSBK: Technicalities about correct idiom usage aside (I guess "big fish in a medium-sized pond" would be more "correct"?), you get the general point that Bakugo understands he's not nearly as good as he thought he was, right?
