Synopsis:

Popuko and Pipimi’s chaotic creative energy returns in this series following their wildly popular, low-budget anime projects. The duo embraces absurdity, crafting comedic skits and satirical takes on grand narratives with complete disregard for conventional storytelling. Their unconventional humor spills into the lives of those around them, most notably Shouta Aoi, a live-action performer perpetually caught in the crossfire of Popuko and Pipimi's unpredictable world. The anime explores themes of artistic freedom versus audience expectation, and the blurred lines between reality and fiction. Expect a blend of self-aware humor and surreal scenarios as these characters navigate everyday life while inadvertently disrupting the fabric of fictional worlds.
