Popee be like: "Violence is not the answer. Violence is the question and the answer is always yes."

Joker: "I am the unrivaled, iconic, clown prince of crime!" *Popee exists*

I didn’t know it was an actual show shown to kids in Japan, thought it was a web series from how crazy it is

" Its a cute bunny guy and his wolf friend! Haha, I wonder what adventures they'll ge- *OUGHOUGHGUDODODOUGHOGUGH-* "

TV Censors: "Just so long as there is no sexual content."

"Every morning he wakes up and chooses violence" REALLY GOT ME, ITS SO TRUE

When I was in middle school, me and my friends had to do a presentation of how media effects children and we used this show as an example. Like yeah it’s violent and maybe not meant for younger kids, but I never understood how BRILLIANT the series is.

Imagine if this show airs on adult swim like today, everyone will flip the *hell* out

This is straight up Itchy and Scratchy as a real show.

"why is this a kids show?" *It was aired in japan* Me: Oh, That makes sense

The slapstick of this show is phenomenal. I adore it. I've been hyperfixating on it ALL week.

The "bad" quality makes it all the more of an experience

“You’re here to watch an anthro wolf in orange shorts drag around the impaled lifeless body of a clown.” Beautiful.

The idea of his mask falling off when he changes emotion is really cool.

If it weren't from this video, I may not have discovered Popee, and I wouldn't be so obsessed with it now Thanks Saber 👍

I absolutely adore Kedomono, his design is so good, you pointed out the mask falling to change the emotions, as well as purple being my favorite color.

I like how they put masks on the wolf instead of making a wolf with human expressions.

Imagine being a tired Japanese parent who had to suffer through like three hours on a train to get home, and you walk in and your kid is watching *this*

Violence, murder, mutilation, horrifying character designs, all bundled up in a kid's cartoon? Sign me up!

A lot of the confusion about who this series is aimed for comes from the fact that it was aired on Kids Station, but despite the name, it's not exactly a channel that is aimed primarily at young audiences, this is the same channel that aired Hetalia after all.

Imagine the reason his sister never made it into the show is because she is actually, in fact, worst than Popee

this video is what got me into Popee The Performer and I couldn't be happier knowing this show exists. I've binge watched the whole thing like 8 times and I don't think I'm getting bored of it anytime soon

Popee The Performer (ポピーザぱフォーマー) is a series of 3DCG shorts produced for Kids Station, one of the all-anime satellite stations in Japan. The show was produced by Zuiyo Co Ltd, and created by husband-wife team Ryuji Masuda (writer) and Wakako Masuda (art director, art design, and character designer). The music was composed by Osamu Tezuka, and the vocals within the main theme and OST belong to Aoyogi Tsuneo. The series is known for it's black comedy, dark and disturbing themes, morbid imagery, bizarre and surreal storylines, and overall creepy tone. The series has 39 episodes split equally among 3 seasons. There is also a manga drawn by Wakako Masuda The show follows Popee, an apprentice clown, and his assistant, Kedamono, as they attempt various circus acts and go about their daily lives as performers. Things have a way of going wrong, however, usually due to Popee. Their mentor and Popee's father Papi, is no help to the bizarre scenarios the characters end up in.

*Popee is something Adult Swim* should unironically revive this for their own channel.

this show is on another level... is unique , and his dark humor make it more fantastic... i don't love dark humor or something like that but this show is amazing. (i never seen a show like that)

Popee the Performer is genuinely my favorite show (if you can't tell) I've loved it ever since I found out about it, it changed my life.

"Popee Fights God" Said with the straightest, no nonsense, of tones.

The reason that Popee's sister never appeared on the show is either she's too scared to come out of her room or her and her mother left those two lunatics years ago.

Funny pets being in here on the screen at 11:06 felt kinda like a Easter egg

"Who's Ryuji Masuda?" *looks him up and finds Mr Stain in his credits* Okay, everything makes sense now.

I wanna see this air in America today... just to see what happens... for science

"Your not here for Pixar level quality, your here to watch an anthro wolf wearing orange shorts and a mask drag around the lifeless corpse of an impaled and bloody clown!" Best sentence ever

Finally got around to watching the whole series. If anything you undersold it. This series is unbelievable 🤩

I started watching this show as a joke while streaming to my friend on discord. Fast forward a couple months, I have 3 Popee the performer posters, a custom made popee the performer calendar, a Kedamono cosplay, a hand sown Kedamono plushie, a Kedamono mask and a popee the performer phonecase.

Ryuji: " I finished it" Network: "oh, you finished the kids show we paid you for?" Ryuji: " wait, was it supposed to be for kids?" Network: .... Ryuji:... Network: "Screw it, we will air it anyway"

“Popee fights god” That’s a sentence that I thought I would never hear.

Ok so a while ago I got SUPER into the show. And I just remembered it a few days ago. And I genuinely can't remember what I liked so much about the show but I absolutely loved it. And if I'm being honest I'm gonna go down memory lane and watch all the episodes again. This was the refresher I needed to watch it after all these years (not even that long I wanna say 3-4 years but ok) Love ur vids

when i was like 7-9 i used to watch this on yt. I love this cartoon, and im happy that i found it again, all thanks to you

The creepiest thing about this is it had no air time it would just turn on at just random times on the channel it was on

"Violence is not an answer, its a question. And the answer is yes"

Finally something awesome to watch on KZfaq thank you saber Spark I love watching poppy with my cousin.🤣🤣🤣 keep making awesome content. I wish I could support your patreon but sadly I don't have a patreon account.

I’m still very worried about all of the people trying to find there kids a show and this popped up i still can’t get over with it in my mind💀😰

How to make, Akira, Death Note, Taimanin, Promise Neverland, Higarashi, Evangelion, Bible Black, Discode, Paranoia Agent, Attack on Titan all look like wholesome slice of life anime with one series.

"you breathe in front of popee : you die." this is the best sentence i've heard today edit : HOW THE FUCK DID I GET 600 LIKES IN 4 DAYS ON SUCH A RANDOM COMMENT OMG AND THE WORST THING IS THAT ITS NOT EVEN THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS LMAO

If my parents put this up for me when I was a kid I would most definitely start crying. Even right now I'm scared.

1:25 so many guns!!!

This reminds me of this one manga about depressed kindergarden teacher trying to pretend to be happy before children but having existential crisis every second of the day its called uramichi oniisan

American parents: turns on cocomelon Christian parents: turns on veggie tales Japanese parents: turns on Popee the Performer We all know who has the greatest childhood

We can't air this episode, kids might imitate poppy. Poppy: *drowns dad* *kills friend to dart throwing* *guns blazin'*

I watched every single episode of this show. I had so much fun and laugh.

"Every morning I wake up I choose only violence." -Popee

Madness combat: "Who are you?" Popee the performer: "I'm you, but for kids"

I keep seeing ads for something called the Guava Juice Show. Still afraid to look into it

Wow, that's amazing. I love horror, gore, and violence. I remember being a kid and finding this on youtube. I loved the show, however my mother would take away my device. It's quite nice in another sight of view. I've seen chaos at many stages, and this is the next level. Cool videos by the way.

To be fair, “kids show” and “Japanese kid show” are vary different things.

I mean, ngl, Papi’s kinda big brain. “Oh, my son threatens to kill me? Pft, not if I kill myself first.”

This video got me into PTP and now I am obsessed with this show

“So. Many. Guns.” The Americans obsessed with guns: Yes.

" Popee fights *GOD* " has got to be Popee's biggest flex

Given how violent and insane this show is, I wouldn't be surprised if Popee's mother was a victim of either her son or Papi's shenanigans.

As a 90s kid from Japan, I can testify that this was a kids show and I used to watch it with my parents. It's actually one of our favorite shows! I can still sing the gibberish intro😂

Such as: Frog, ✨ Alien, ✨ and everyone's favorite, Elephant car ✨✨✨

Fun fact: popee doesn't actually kill or harm kedamono for being better than him, popee just has such a massive ego but is also lonely. And kedamono is a wolf trying to be human, so he mimics popee as an attempt to be more human and less wolf. So, you have one that is lonely without the other but still harms for ego points and the other who needs the other to learn the ways of being human.

The CGI animation of _Poppee the Performer_ looks like it's something out of the dark side of the Internet but it has some great charm to it no matter how uncanny it was. It surprised me that it even has a fandom.

1:09 I don't think I have laughed harder at one of Saberspark's videos as hard as this 🤣

5:55 D'aaww, the wolf is wagging his tail while riding the elephant car! He looks so happy!

Sabie: Here are my overall thoughts Me: He's got to hate it Sabie: It's brilliant, ABSOLUTELY brilliant! Me: *W H A T*

'He can be a bit of a jokester' Shows character stabbing Popee in the head with a syringe

This video introduced me to PTP and I’m so glad it did lol I love it now

1:09 I can understand what he said because I understand the demon language he somehow spoke in He said very fluidly: WHAT IN THE MAYONNAISE IS THAT!?

Kids Station: We don't want kids to emulate the behavior Popee displays in the show. Also Kids Station: *Allows an episode where Popee cuts himself in half*

"Papi puts popee in his stomach and pretends to be his pregnant mother" What?!?!?!

hearing him talk about and praise this show for its insanity and darkness really reminds me of how i sound when i talk about my love for mr toads wild ride lol. it’s a Disneyland ride where you get run over by a train and die and go to hell. it’s not as dramatic as it sounds, but that’s still what happens, and it’s so funny to me because with how “soft” kids media has become these days i’m really glad we still have this relic of the past here. it’s so unique and it’s genius. people forget about this ride a lot but i appreciate every second of it

I watched all 3 seasons and i loved them all

As a dedicated fan of PTP who has also uploaded all the episodes, I can say that you are absolutely right about the source of the mass-dislikes. An absurd amount of young kids click on the videos by accident and go crying to their parents about the violence. In all fairness, I understand where the parents are coming from, but they should really be watching their children better. An iPad screen does not equal effective parenting. As long as you’re the proper age, and/or a fan of dark comedy, this is a great series to binge. It’s absurd on another level, and worth being remembered for years to come. It’s good to know that Saberspark and I have similar tastes.

I used to watch Popee the Performer when I was like 4 all the way to 15, and I loved it so fucking much. It was so entertaining! I still watch it every now and then, but, not as often as I used to.

This is my amazing digital circus

Imagine if happy tree friends was for kids… I guess that's a good analogy here on the west

That "putting Popee in Papi's stomach" thing is a whole totally different fetish.... I can't believe they didn't notice that when they aired the show....

1:08 "I wonder what kind of adventures they'll get-" *"HOOGAOAGAJSIHSSJOSHSHAKA"*

Mom : "what are u watching?" Me : "oh, it's just an old 3D Japanese"anime", nothing more...." The 3D "anime" : *violence in every episode*

So we got Happy Tree Friends and Popee the performer.... LETS SEE WHAT ELSE HE FINDS

PLEASE let this video result in a popee renaissance, i missed the fandom so much lol

If Itchy and Scratchy from the Simpsons were a real show.

Omg I started watching Popee the Performer the other day and I'm in love. I definitely dont think it should be a kids show though, to the point I got up and showed my dad season 2 episode 1 because... They killed Papi and buried him alive????

"It's a cute bunny guy and his wolf friend!" Me, who was exposed to Happy Tree Friends: *here we are in FEAR and its AAAAAAAAAAAA*

Ah, Popee takes me back to my middle school days of being unbridled and free on the internet and watching stuff like this at the ripe old age of 14

I'm super late to this video but just a reminder this show aired between 2000 and 2003, and 3D animation got big around the 90s. Especially on the budget this had, this was very much ahead of it's time.

This show looks chaotic and I love it.

Dude idk why but i loved this show no matter how disturbing or gorey it is

Dude dropped a media sensation then dropped off the face of the earth. Legend

Dang, must be coincidence..this happens to be the second video I've watched with autoskip on and twice in a row I've seen a video about Japanese writers having the freedom and go ahead and on a project and both projects resulted in just basically murder and torture...haha

I remember watching this show in 2019 and I loved it. Now I'm in seventh grade of elementary school and I love it even MORE. Popee The Performer was and still is the most unique and interesting show I've ever watched and I belive that I'm never gonna get bored of this masterpiece. It's a shame that this fandom is dying.

I’d like to see the show team discuss the story in detail, and then sketch it, and then animate every scene.

I went to a con in 2018, not long after I discovered the show on KZfaq, and a girl was cosplaying as Popee. Full bunny suit and big feet, blonde wig, was amazing. I went "You're Popee the Perforer!" And she was taken aback, as though she wasn't expecting someone to recognize who she was. After I got a pic with her, I heard her friend say to her "I'm happy for you."

You know an anime is good when it has both a vore compilation AND an mpreg compilation on KZfaq.

i love it when youtubers show the sponsors at the end of the video so i dont need to watch them if i dont want to

And I thought Happy Tree Friends was going to be the most intense "kids show" I would ever watch
