Pop Team Epic has gained popularity due to its extremely eccentric worldview and the characters' eccentric behavior, but have you ever seen an article that explains Popuko, a character in the series? All of the characters in the series are portrayed as eccentric, and are known to be characters that make writers of explanatory articles cry. For that reason, while there are quite a few explanations about the series itself, the reality is that there are very few explanations about Popuko, the character in the series. So, this time I would like to explain Popuko from Pop Team Epic, one of the most stupid protagonists in the anime world, who tends to be shunned by writers! Her charm is not only her own personality and characteristics, but also the many popular voice actors who have voiced her, so I would like to introduce those points as well!
One of the most idiot-crazy protagonists in the anime world
If you had to describe the protagonist of this work, Popuko, in one word, it would definitely be "one of the most idiot-crazy protagonists in the anime world." There have been many idiot-crazy protagonists in the Japanese anime world, but Popuko is a character with enough charm to reign supreme even over those more idiot-crazy characters.
The cool protagonist who ignores compliance
Contrary to her cute appearance, it seems that the word "compliance" does not exist for Popuko. It is common for her to turn to the viewer and give him the middle finger, and she acts without wavering in both the manga and anime versions.
Contrary to her cute appearance,
If we had to pick out one thing that makes Popuko so appealing, it would be the gap between her cute, everyday appearance and her disregard for compliance, as explained above. At first glance, she appears to be a laid-back, everyday protagonist, but viewers who see her going on a rampage throughout the story for the first time are often confused.
Powerful type who doesn't shy away from violence
Throughout the story, Popuko, the protagonist of this work, has brilliantly achieved the most confusing position in the history of anime, a small, fluffy protagonist with a strong style who doesn't shy away from abusive language and violence. However, it can also be said that this is why she is a character who can be enjoyed for her free development without being bound by conventions.
Banned words, too...?
In particular, the sudden abusive language is an expression that is laughable in the manga version because of the force of the speech bubbles and the composition of the characters, but in the anime version, it is a very destructive element, combined with the voice actors' acting skills. Some lines are so extreme that they cannot be broadcast as they are.
I'm looking forward to the voice actor changing every time
Another element that cannot be overlooked as Popuko's charm is that the voice actor in charge of Popuko in this work changes every time. Until now, it was common for a voice actor who suited the image of the character to be the voice actor in charge throughout the work, but this work shows the bold move of having a different voice actor for Popuko every time.
Focus on the voice actor rather than Popuko herself!
For this reason, it is very difficult to empathize with the character, but because of this, you can enjoy the charm of Popuko as a character that changes each time due to the performance of a different voice actor, and you can also enjoy Popuko as one element to distinguish the voice actor's personality.
Everything is groundbreaking! Introducing the charm of Popuko! !
So far, we have introduced Popuko's position and personality in this work, but from here on, we would like to delve deeper into what kind of charm Popuko, the protagonist of this work, has that the protagonists of other works do not have.
The fun of rotating voice actors
As mentioned earlier, the biggest attraction of Popuko in this work is that Popuko's voice actor is different every time. I would like to introduce how the setting of constantly changing voice actors, which was previously unthinkable, influenced this work.
The deeper the story, the more profound it becomes
A distinctive feature of this work's structure is that the first and second parts have exactly the same content, with only the voice actors changing. Normally, it would be impossible for the exact same content to be depicted, but in this work, the voice actors are different, so you can get a detailed understanding of the differences in the acting and voice quality between the voice actors.
Voices are provided by many famous voice actors
In particular, the voice actors who played Popuko are all very popular and well-known, so even fans who don't know much about voice actors can enjoy the voices they've heard somewhere before.
Voice actors have been renewed for the rebroadcast!
Furthermore, even if it is a rebroadcast, the fun of enjoying the voice actors will not disappear. Even in the rebroadcast version where the animation image itself does not change, the voice actors have been thoroughly revamped, and it is a content that fans who enjoyed the first broadcast can enjoy once again.
A character that voice actors will love
In this way, Popuko's charm is that you can enjoy the voices of many popular Japanese voice actors over and over again, which is something unique that is hard to imagine in other anime works.
Introducing the popular voice actors who played Popuko!
I would like to introduce some of the many attractive voice actors who are the greatest charm of Popuko. We have picked out the most popular voice actors who have played Popuko, so even readers who are not particularly interested in voice actors should check it out!
Aoi Yuuki
She is the voice actress who voiced Popuko in the first half of episode 2. She is a voice actress who is good at cute girl voices, such as Kaname Madoka in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", and has voiced girl characters and younger sister characters in many works. Among the many voice actors, she is a voice actress with a particularly cute voice, so be sure to check her out!
Yuichi Nakamura
He is the voice actor who voiced Popuko in the second half of episode 5. He is a voice actor who often plays characters with so-called "ikebo" voices, such as Reinhard van Astrea in "Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-". He is one of the most popular male voice actors, so be sure to check him out.
Mizuki Nana
She is the voice actress who voiced Popuko in the first half of episode 11. She is known for her voice in "NARUTO" as Hinata Hyuga, but she is also known as a singer, so I'm sure there are many fans who have heard Mizuki's songs.
Many popular voice actors will continue to take on the role! !
Popuko, the main character of this work, has been voiced by many attractive voice actors, but just as the voice actors were renewed for the rebroadcast, I'm sure that even more popular voice actors will be in charge of the role from now on. I'd like to keep an eye on the voice actors who will be in charge of Popuko in the future.
The dialogue with Pipimi is worth seeing!
So far, I have introduced the voice actor who plays Popuko, the main character of this work, but from here on, I would like to introduce Popuko's dialogue with Pipimi, the other main character of this work, who is an indispensable presence when talking about Popuko.
The pairing of voice actors is also one of the things to look forward to
The dialogue between Popuko and Pipimi in this work can also be said to be a dialogue between voice actors. This is because this work is a work that makes it very easy for voice actors to bring out their individuality in their roles, and the voice actors who play them are also able to perform quite freely. Therefore, the dialogue between the voice actors is relaxed as usual, so you can enjoy not only the combination and dialogue between the voice actors as anime characters, but also the combination and dialogue between the voice actors.
To the famous duo that represents the anime world!
In this way, the dialogue between Popuko and Pipimi in this work is unique and cannot be enjoyed in other anime works. It will be a combination that will attract more attention through the sequels.
Summary
What did you think? This time, we introduced Popuko, the main character of this work. It can be said that Popuko is also a character who invented the element of a character that allows you to enjoy a completely new voice actor as a personality that did not exist anywhere else in the anime world. It can be said that this character will have a great influence on the history of anime characters in the future, so be sure to check it out!
