Popee the Performer - Recommendations

sothis says...

Two deranged, creepy and bizarre titles that seem to be aimed at children due to the goofy and awkward animation, but are anything but! As they are from the same director it's no surprise - these are a perfect disturbing pair.

Thrawn says...

They have a lot going for each other: They both look like crap with the same crap animation style, sound like crap, have the most god-awful repeating music that can bleed one's ears and some of the most creepiest, psychopathic maniacs in characters ever spawned. EVER. And they have the same sociopathic, lunatic violence that a devil couldn't love. With a non-existent comedic factor.

If you even decide to watch either one, don't do it alone. Bring a friend to share the pain. Only then, can you even consider these a maybe.

HasseRovdjur says...

Both series are chock full of violence, disturbing behaviour and characters generally acting in a very demented and sociopathic manner. They're done by the same director and feature the same sort of unhinged music and animation that just can't help you leaving wondering why someone would make a show like this.

Both shows are also more fun to read and write about than to watch, so be sure to watch either of them with other people (it's also nice to have a support group ready after you've finished watching).

Nicknames says...

Both are weird and creppy 3D anime fully made by the same director. Both are episodic and their protagonist acts in a very twisted manner. If you watched one and still feel like trying your sanity, you should watch the other one too.

Both of these series are from the same, deranged creator and share a similar sensibility. If you love the messed up antics of one of these series then you should totally check out the other.

DontStay says...

This should be backwards. If you didn't like one, then I would recommend not to watch the other. Both are poor 3D made animations with poor sound and characters who'd do anything that your normal human logic wouldn't apply. While the setting of some episodes are more or less ok, their actions aren't in both Popee the Annoyer and Annoying Pets. But then again, these were probably made to drive the audience crazy or to punish children.

Grach says...

Both of these two anime not only share the same CGI styling, but also similar characters. Almost every episode of both devolve into random acts of violence that ends up maiming or seriously injuring one or more of the characters. Add to this that they all behave in odd or eccentric ways, and tend to come off as incredably creepy and/or scary. The sound effects in both are also the same, as is the types of color scheme.

If you've liked (or hated) one, then the other's right for you!

Thrawn says...

I heard you like black comedy. Popee is all about black, horrid non-comedy with sadistic sociopaths running rampant while Nekojiru Gekijou is all about black comedy with sadistic mains. Only if you want more violence without the creepy clown.

Nicknames says...

Both anime have a lot of violence in it for comedy purpose. While Popee the Performer has a more or less random humor, Nekojiru Gekijou has a darker and more sadistic humor. If you liked one you should watch the other one too.

Funkgun says...

Cue the madness as you wonder how high were they when they made these.

I give you the fast answer, very.

Remember kids: It's fun until someone loses an eye, and then it's hilarious. Both of these anime use violence as a means of humor. Both also use rather bizarre storylines in each episode. I'm not saying the writers were on drugs, but....  So, if the wacky antics of one caught your interest, try the other. 

xkun says...

Popee the Performer is more absurd than Nekojiru Gekijou, and Nekojiru Gekijou is more gruesome than Popee, but both comedies are heavy on violence and feature sadistic, short-tempered protagonists.

Nicknames says...

If you haven't had enough with one of them, you should watch the other one because both are similar in a lot of aspects. Both of them are fully made in 3D, have demented characters, were made by the same director and they are episodic. Just don't forget to have some alcohol with you to make it more enjoyable.

Thrawn says...

Both are crap. Grade A violent crap. Popee the Performer has the benefit of being so crap it's decent if drunk enough or insane. Funny Pets 2 is just crap. They do have animation similiar to each other, sadistic and creepy nightmarish characters and ear-bleeding sound, all made by the same madman director. If you're insane enough to watch one, get some friends to help you watch the other.

Thrawn says...

Both are absolutely bonkers. While Cat Soup turns into an absolute acid trip and gets more crazy as it progresses, Popee the Performer starts with the messed-up and insanity trait and runs with it to the finish line. Both are violent, bloody at times and completely unalike in terms of plot, despite the main characters being sadists.

sothis says...

Popee is way more 'lighthearted' and slightly less confusing, but both are completely bizarre, weird titles that will likely make you laugh due to how crazy they are.

cassiesheepgirl says...

Like watching anime with sociopathic characters and their deranged antics? Then both of these series are for you. Both employ the use of excessive comedy violence and downright bizarre plot twists.

LadyPsychic says...

Both of these anime have a morbid sense of humor and involve people dying in random ways.  While I personally found Popee the Performer to be more entertaining, I think that if you like one you might like the other.

Thrawn says...

Not only are they both in the so-bad-it's-good category but they feature adequate enough animation to delightfully portray an overdose of violence and blood (Sometimes in Popee) in a horrid torrent of malicious intentions. Neither don't have much going for them but they do feature memorable characters, as sadistic, twisted monstrosities they may be.

dasanjos says...

Both anime uses CGI, slapstic comedy and black humour, few characters with music instad of voices and have short episodes. Usavich episodes are shorter and uses less graphic violence (more cartoonish), while Popee episodes are longer and include more sketches (and more blood)...

Aranneas says...

Weird and wild comedy in outlandish settings. Humanity Has Declined is significantly more subtle than Popee but I feel that they both appeal to a similar sense of humour.
