Pop Team Ballsy ? Community score: 4.2
Pop Team EPIC IS OVER and I am both glad to exist relieved of my shitpost burden and sad that this blessed nonsense has come to an stop. (Unless that 2nd flavor proclamation for Hoshiiro Girldrop ways annihilation...) Overall, I'm torn about reviewing this series. I think I made the best of the experience, simply I also sorta wish that I had the adventure to spotter the show like a normal non-writer person. Reviewing Pop Team Ballsy naturally meant feeling an intimacy with the show, merely by that aforementioned token, the series couldn't serve me every bit a relaxation of responsibility similar most viewers. It'south a unique position to be in when watching a "kuso anime".
Existential digressions bated, this last episode was everything that I could have wanted – Popular Team Epic bosom out the large guns in its production to make a long meta-joke about dumb anime finales, replete with callbacks to some of the serial' all-time moments. I know some folks wanted PTE to finish on a full-length Hoshiiro Girldrop episode, but I don't think that would've really been funny to sit down through once the basic idea had been gotten beyond. In the stop, hegemony was destroyed, anime was saved, and the girls will alive to crap on my face until I like it some other mean solar day. Since my brain is firmly mush after twelve weeks of Bob Squad Ballsy, I'll accept a page from this testify and sum upward my thoughts on its finale in disparate blurbs.
- I know that the introductory sequence is a riff on Evangelion-mode mystical nonsense technobabble in general, but I likewise cull to believe that the testify is dunking on Captain Earth – 1 of the more recent examples of the genre – specifically. Phrases like "Hamlet Death Gods" and "infinite break from the miniature garden of Macbeth" tipped my brain in that direction. Keep in mind that this douse is thoroughly deserved, as Helm Globe is unintelligible.
- Couldn't send the show off without one of those musical felt sequences! While rare, they were responsible for some of the show'due south most iconic moments. (Especially Let's Pop Together!, I hateful holy shit.) Appropriately for the finale, this 1 parodies Japanese school graduation anthems. There'south actually some thematic meat here too – the vocal they're initially performing is superficially optimistic, but actually quite passive-aggressive as it goes on. This mirrors how older generations tend to treat younger folks, with a commitment to pleasantries and decorum concealing an attitude of bitter condescension. Of course, when the girls insubordinate against this by bursting into threats and profanity, the scene turns joyous as they finally revel in their individuality. This likewise speaks to me as capturing the shitposting spirit – aesthetically, shitposting makes explicit the shitty attitudes that society harbors against a younger generation, unwrapping their niceties and satirizing them in a game where those in the know communicate as aggressively as possible. The message here is: cut the bullshit pops, I know what you lot're maxim, and I'm going to make my own game that operates in a completely different fashion.
- Takeshobo finally got blown upwards lol
- I realize that people are all over Sho Hayami's Popuko (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'due south Enrico Pucci) shouting MADE IN Sky during the terminal battle, but the Fate fan in me couldn't get over him and Jouji Nakata (who voices Pipimi) making fun of the Akashic Records. Those two voice Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine in Fate/Cypher, and the Akashic Records are the very serious in-universe reason for a bunch of the stupid bullshit that they pulled in that evidence.
- The two other seiyuu are Mami Koyama and Kotono Mitsuishi. That'due south apparently a Crewman Moon + Mobile Suit Gundam Seed joke, but those shows aren't Fate/Zippo, and so I don't care near them. I'grand just glad that they got Jouji Nakata in this bear witness by the end – I've been hoping for him to show up since the beginning.
- I didn't know who Shōta Aoi was prior to this episode, merely now I dearest him and give thanks him for doing his duty to preserve the universe's residuum. Every Popuko needs her Pipimi, and as we all know, if they are ever separated, and then nosotros shall know true hell.
And at present, the moment you've all I've been waiting for...!
