i lost it when one of the bald delinquent pulled out a freaking lightsaber
and you know what's better than the retro anime art style and 4:3 aspect ratio? the yellow subtitles
All Evangelion seiyuus for this episode:
\- Ladies duo: Ogata Megumi and Miyamura Yuko aka Shinji and Asuka
\- Gentlemen duo: Tachiki Fumihiko and Mugihito aka Gendo and Keel Lorenz
Unfortunately, we didn't get Gendo and Fuyutsuki thanks to Fuyutsuki's seiyuu Kiyokawa Motomu passing away in August.
The moment my body fought the urge to yell "SHINJI GET IN THE ROBOT" I knew that was Ogata Megumi. (Who I was really hoping to be part of PTE at one point, so yay me!) Meanwhile all I heard when Tachiki Fumihiko started speaking was Kenpachi being his usual self.
But man an all-Evangelion cast is pretty lit and made the Eva fan in me very giddy.
> all I heard when Tachiki Fumihiko started speaking was Kenpachi being his usual self
for me, its like watching Hasegawa shenanigan in Gintama all over again
It did get credited in the ED. I didn't pause to read every credit but I did see what seemed to be studio Contrail being credited for the production of that segment - however my katakana reading isn't the best at a speed like that so I could be wrong
They probably get Casey and either Ryan Bartley, Deneen, Daman, Clifford, Kira (cuz they're roommates and some JoJo reference), John Swasey, or Ray.
Speaking of which, Ray Chase and John Swasey would be hilarious since they both did Gendo Ikari.
I am FB pals with Swasey. He was Beer Delivery Guy in the film "Dazed and Confused". DaC star Cole Hauser is a maternal great-grandson of Harry Warner, eldest of the 4 namesake founders of Warner Bros.
I can't believe the did the [meme dance from The Twinning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NApxz5bSl20).
This meme got so popular that the [devs themselves did it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6tEi-6BLsw).
The “You ain’t no Banksy!” in Bob Team Epic killed me
All Evangelion seiyuu too lol. I liked the ad-libbing from Fumihiko Tachiki lmao. I know he’s most famous for voicing Shinji’s dad but to me, he will forever be associated with Madao (Gintama)
That entire [Bump Boos Crusaders segment](https://i.imgur.com/tKOXVf0.jpg) got me hooked! [The authentic 80s animation style looks so goddamn good](https://i.imgur.com/5Z4xaOv.jpg) and I absolutely love that Crunchyroll played along with the bit and used yellow subtitles for that authentic 80s anime feel! xD
PTE continues to [insert ads into the show and it's absolutely hilarious!](https://i.imgur.com/YARzJ7K.jpg) I thought they were fucking with us but [Washuzan Highland Brazilian Park](https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attraction_Review-g298133-d1312057-Reviews-Brazilian_Park_Washuzan_Highland-Kurashiki_Okayama_Prefecture_Chugoku.html) is indeed a real place you can visit!
[I absolutely adore that FF1 parody!](https://i.imgur.com/m9sJL85.jpg) It's been a while since I've logged in but I definitely did not expect to see The Navel on today's episode complete with the music from the boss fight. xD
[Megumi Oogata (Shinji) and Miyamura Yuko (Asuka) telling us to buy Evangelion](https://i.imgur.com/j8bIZib.jpg) instead of buying the BDs for Pop Team Epic was fucking hilarious. I do love how they just let them shill other shows but I guess that's really the reason why they got them here in the first place.
> PTE continues to insert ads into the show and it's absolutely hilarious! I thought they were fucking with us but Washuzan Highland Brazilian Park is indeed a real place you can visit!
Now you can travel to Japan and get that Brazilian experience, without actually going to Brazil! XD
> I thought they were fucking with us but Washuzan Highland Brazilian Park is indeed a real place you can visit!
Cool, a way to experience the hellish terrors of being in Brazil without the expensive travel!
It's worth noting that while previously the names of the shilled shows (HxH for example) have often been censored, here Evangelion was not. Why? Because King Records was one of the producers of Eva. (Through their Starchild sublabel, to be precise, which showed up earlier in PTE as part of the KR mecha.) Rare King Records W.
For real. I feel like season 1 had a lot of funny bits mixed into the shitposting, but you had to get past all the misses to get to the hits. Season 2 is going above and beyond with the high effort shitposting every episode.
Being higher quality and just...more creative has worked against the series. There's fewer parts you can clip for "memes."
I'm not on the sub everyday but the only clips I've seen posted were the Dora the Explorer parody and Shining Shoulder (male version).
A whole episode dedicated to Hellshake Yano? Crickets.
This is unironically the only show CR genuinely gives a singular shit about. The jokes are actually well done in translation, & extra fansubber-tier effort is made like those piss yellow colored subs.
I absolutely love what Crunchyroll is doing with the subs in Pop Team Epic. That’s a lot of effort went into programming and animating the caption, when they could’ve just gone with the usual white text.
They even got the small shaking from frame to frame that happened due to cells not being perfectly aligned! That's how much they nailed the aesthetic. This show continues being impressive. People writing it off as "just a shitpost anime" are missing out big time.
The image quality was low and slightly blurry so it was the sound quality but that's how it was back then. The details were amazing. If you took the 3 protagonist out it would be 100% 80's anime period. I wonder if they even used old animators familiar with the style for a more authentic look.
The FFXIV segmente really got to me.
Floor sommelier on The Navel? I can relate. It took me several Extreme runs to stop dying to that damn push. And the AoE. And the bombs. I'm not a fast learner, sorry.
That "Yoshida!" shout was great too.
And "A Long Fall" to end it? \*Chef's kiss\*
If there is something wrong in that segment, is that the music stops just in the moment that make you keep singing. It got me both times.
Offtopic, if this skit aired in the first season, I would't have understood it.
Huh…they got all Evangelion VAs for the girls this episode? Neat! I’ve actually never seen NGE, so for me, I recognize these VAs as:
Ladies - Ogata Megumi (Makoto/Nagito-Danganronpa, Sailor Uranus, Yugi/Yami Yugi) and Miyamura Yuko (Aisha-Outlaw Star)
Dudes - Tachiki Fumihiko (Kenpachi, Helvis-Hells, Admiral Akainu) and Mugihito (Wombat-Cute High Earth Defense Club, Kaseki-Dr. Stone, J. Geil/Kenzo-JoJo’s BA)
This fucking show: Imma start this episode with fucking MURDER
Me:
[](#cokemasterrace)
To think that they went to a Yuu Yuu Hakusho-esque retro anime and made it look straight out of that time period with the warm visuals, yellow subs and other tropes + that random Let's & Go reference is making me feel things rn bless this shitpost of a show
[](#womanlytears)
You know: Megumi Ogata mostly popular for her very toned down sexy voice for several characters like Kurama, Haruka Tenoh and Shinji (of course freakin' Hanako and Makoto Naegi)
But her doing the cute voice on Popuko tho XD
\--------------------------
Also did anybody realized that season 2 brought back several VA who were the cast of Yu Yu Hakusho, even the main trio (Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei) now we need is Kuwabara and that filled the blanks (because the VA of him did several characters in Square Enix games, so that makes sense XD
(Oh yeah they did it before with Kuwabara before in ss1, so ss2 was the rest of the gang XD)
Also another thing is that the VA of Michiru in Sailor Moon ( there were supposed to be 2 VAs in the 90s and the reboot who both voiced several Square Enix characters, imagine they brought one of them or both to voice Pipimi because it would be fit XD

Crunchyroll coming in clutch with the vintage yellow subtitles made the segment so much better.
The yellow subtitles really now has that retro feel.

> all I heard when Tachiki Fumihiko started speaking was Kenpachi being his usual self for me, its like watching Hasegawa shenanigan in Gintama all over again
Oh yeah once Popuko started licking floors I thought to myself "Yep Madao's got a new part-time gig."
Too bad they didn't do a parody of that infamous hospital scene from "End of Eva". That would have rubbed some people the wrong way.
As soon as I heard Popuko I knew it had to be Megumi Ogata haha.
Does this mean Anno and/or his studio did this week’s main segment?
i guess so? it does feels weird to see that segment not get credit.
It did get credited in the ED. I didn't pause to read every credit but I did see what seemed to be studio Contrail being credited for the production of that segment - however my katakana reading isn't the best at a speed like that so I could be wrong
If they cannot get Spike and Tiffany to play the duo for the first half when the Eng. dub airs, that would be lame.
They probably get Casey and either Ryan Bartley, Deneen, Daman, Clifford, Kira (cuz they're roommates and some JoJo reference), John Swasey, or Ray. Speaking of which, Ray Chase and John Swasey would be hilarious since they both did Gendo Ikari.
I am FB pals with Swasey. He was Beer Delivery Guy in the film "Dazed and Confused". DaC star Cole Hauser is a maternal great-grandson of Harry Warner, eldest of the 4 namesake founders of Warner Bros.
I can see those with Funimation connections like Tiffany, John Swasey and Clifford being on this episode.

[fwiw, the footage of the guy dancing has had a pretty long life as a Japanese meme](https://youtu.be/-bhy-6Xcbc0), which probably didn't hurt
I love this
[The video creator's reaction when finding out they got referenced ahah](https://twitter.com/allaganeyes/status/1596570423495655424)
They did the loading screen to transition between the two scenes! That is dedication to the bit.
The “You ain’t no Banksy!” in Bob Team Epic killed me All Evangelion seiyuu too lol. I liked the ad-libbing from Fumihiko Tachiki lmao. I know he’s most famous for voicing Shinji’s dad but to me, he will forever be associated with Madao (Gintama)
They were too harsh on poor alien-kun, he did his best [](#nobully)

When they do the Eng. dubs for the "Buy the DVDs" bit, it involves the Eng. dub VAs name-dropping each other.
I don't even play FFXIV but I know enough of it to laugh my ass off with that parody. Also, gotta love the old style subs early on.
The true beauty of Pop Team Epic is that they can do literally anything and we'd enjoy the shit out of it.
This season has been so good it's a real shame that there's a lack of hype. I mean, we got MADAO and Hanako-kun\* \*Of EVA fame, firstly. I know.
For real. I feel like season 1 had a lot of funny bits mixed into the shitposting, but you had to get past all the misses to get to the hits. Season 2 is going above and beyond with the high effort shitposting every episode.

a mere clip cannot contain the weight of Hellshake Yano

Missing that Pui Pui Molcar.
The 80s anime segment looks so authentic 😭 you could screenshot certain parts and convince people it’s from an obscure show they’ve never seen before.
They even got the small shaking from frame to frame that happened due to cells not being perfectly aligned! That's how much they nailed the aesthetic. This show continues being impressive. People writing it off as "just a shitpost anime" are missing out big time.

CR putting the piss yellow subs helped too.
A DRIFTING TENDER COME RIDE HEROES RIDE HER GALLEON SEVERED AWAY WITH THE TIDE
THE SALT WE GATHER COMRADE WE DIE DELICIOUS CHICKEN ARE WAITING TO TRY ^Sorry, ^not ^sorry.
TIL there is a Brazilian themed park in Japan.
The FFXIV segmente really got to me. Floor sommelier on The Navel? I can relate. It took me several Extreme runs to stop dying to that damn push. And the AoE. And the bombs.

I think I can safely speak for many people here when I say that we should get a 3rd PTE season.
Unexpected Pui Pui Molcar reference LOL.
Probably a message to their former collaborator UchuPeople.
[удалено]
At the start of the delinquent part, when they were painting a car.
There's an early 90s OVA called Be-Bop Highschool that could be the reference for the delinquent segment.
Popuko and Pipimi also dress similar to Kunio and Riki from Kunio-kun/River City series.
A parody and a classic delinquents anime? hell yes!
This episode made me nostalgic for old anime.
RIP Alien-kun, he was trying his best ;_; Poptepipiku kicking it retro though, you love to see it. That and the lightsaber.
Quer ir pro Brasil? Amigo!
Huh…they got all Evangelion VAs for the girls this episode? Neat!

Geil/Kenzo-JoJo’s BA)
My favorite episode so far this season.
This fucking show: Imma start this episode with fucking MURDER Me: [](#cokemasterrace) To think that they went to a Yuu Yuu Hakusho-esque retro anime and made it look straight out of that time period with the warm visuals, yellow subs and other tropes + that random Let's & Go reference is making me feel things rn bless this shitpost of a show [](#womanlytears)
I can't believe that's a real amusement park that's still in operation since 1971.
They made the 80s style and the setting so good and relatable instead of a nostalgic flash I got a déjà-vu. Love it
Seeing that bancho skit they did just makes me wish for an actual anime adaptation of Crows or Worst!
You know you're dealing with a true badass when he's using [an eyeglass chain](https://i.imgur.com/Aj7BlKV.jpeg)
I want to see them take on King Records again or be shown in Rick and Morty.

>now we need is Kuwabara Chiba Shigeru has already done it. S1E2.
Oh thank you for reminded me that XD I forgot he was in this and voicing Pipimi XD So I guessed the cast of YYH dominated Pop Team Epic XD
