Pop Team Epic Exhibition Hits Nagoya in December
If you just can’t get enough of those lovable scamps Popuko and Pipimi and you happen to be in Nagoya in December of 2022, then you’re in luck, because the Nagoya PARCO venue is holding an exhibition that examines the origins of Bkub Okawa’s anarchic web manga and TV anime, Pop Team Epic.
The exhibition is entitled “Pop Team Epic-ten – Shouganee darou Akachan nandakara-” (“Pop Team Epic Exhibition -I Can’t Help It Because I’m a Baby-“), and it features original character goods as well as production materials for the Pop Team Epic manga and the TV anime such as the original memo between Bkub Okawa and Takeshobo greenlighting the series, original drawings, storyboards, an exhibition of Shouta Aoi’s costumes used in the series, photo spots and more.
