One of the vital modern comedy anime collection of the final decade is unquestionably Pop group epic — not essentially within the humor, however somewhat in taking the 2 predominant characters Popuko and Pipimi and having roughly 48 voice actors mix to voice them over the course of the collection. This distinctive idea introduced the collection into the zeitgeist and it has continued to retain its reputation to at the present time. Now, Popuko and Pipimi have gone hardboiled with their collaboration with German liqueur producer Kleiner Feigling.
The collaboration got here seemingly out of nowhere, Pop group epic‘s maker Bkub Okawathe Pop group epic anime, and Little Coward made no advance bulletins. Nonetheless, 4 commercials for Klein Feigling that includes Popuko and Pipimi debuted on Klein Feigling Japan’s YouTube on August 1. (They’re truly two units of two commercials: one set in a bar and the second in an alley, narrated by two units of voice actors.)
Within the first collection of commercials, we see Popuko sitting at a bar ingesting. In a superb hardboiled story, the bartender tells Popuko that her subsequent drink will come from a buyer throughout the bar, on this case Pipimi. After asking what the drink is, Pipimi strikes over to the bar and offers a short clarification about Klein Feigling. The 2 characters then social gathering like they’re in a membership earlier than Pipimi returns to her seat and Popuko and Pipimi increase their glasses in silence.

The second business opens with Popuko shot in an alley. After attempting to smoke a cigarette, Popuko says she hoped she would not be seen like that when Pipimi seems and affords Popuko a cigarette. Popuko then asks Pipimi for some alcohol, to which Pipimi affords Popuko a mini bottle of Kleiner Feigling. And similar to within the first business, the 2 characters social gathering like they’re in a membership.
