If you’re a huge fan of Toonami, then chances are you’d be super surprised by the announcement via Adult Swim that Pop Team Epic could replace Dragon Ball Z Kai. By just the posters alone, this new show doesn’t seem that impressive, but then Toonami went ahead and released a promo.
From what we have seen, Pop Team Epic appears as if it could be a worthy replacement of Dragon Ball Z Kai, but that’s just views from the surface. First, we’d have to watch the debut episode to decide whether or not this series is actually worth our time.
Now, I’ve never watched Pop Team Epic, but from what I’ve learned, it’s been streaming on FunimationNow and Crunchyroll for quite some time. the series is filled with profanity and other forms of adult-related content, which is why it’ll air at midnight on Adult Swim.
Here’s a description of the show:
"Crude, rude, and a little…cute? Get ready for the larger-than-life attitude of Popuko and Pipimi, the small and tall stars of Pop Team Epic! Based off the bizarre four-panel webcomic by Bukubu Okawa comes a comedy that’ll throw you off with its out-there jokes and intense absurdity. You think you’re ready for these girls? Think again, F#%**er!"
