Blog:Popee the Performer (2024 reboot) (Fake Show Collab by TheName64)

'''Please note that this is a fake reboot, while there is a real Popee reboot planned, it is unaware if it'll see the light of day. You can add your own "WIS reasons" etc. & FOR GOD'S SAKE DO NOT VANDALIZE IT! Anyone who vandalizes will be blocked without warning'''.

Popee the Performer (Japanese: ポピーザぱフォーマー Popī za pa fōmā) are a series of Japanese 3D anime shorts created by the husband-and-wife team, Ryuji and Wakako Masuda.. In early 2024, KIDS STATION & Masuda's family made a reboot that ran for 4 seasons & 2 specials. A US dub of the show aired on PBS later the same year.

Why It Intentionally Sucks
(WIP.)
 * 1) The animation and art style, while an improvement from the original series, still feels jerky and simplistic.
 * 2) * In fact: Ryuji was going to have a big budget for the show, but due to budget cuts, executive meddling from Zuiyo Co. Ltd. Mizutaka. & KIDS STATION & all first 5 episodes being rushed in production, the animation still looks cheap than what it was originally going to be.
 * 3) All the characters, expect Kedamono, have all been flanderized and get character derailment as the show progresses.
 * 4) * Popee is even more psychopathic and sociopathic combined to the point where he makes "Adult Party Cartoon" Ren, Modern Peter Griffin & Eric Cartman look like saints!
 * 5) * Papi is now basically boring and lazy, much like Sally Brown, and doesn't serve anything to the plot of the episodes.
 * 6) * Alien/Spaceman is now just someone who interrupts what's happening in the episodes, an example is in the episode "FLYING" where he shows up for no reason.
 * 7) The plots are now even more poorly done than the original source material & even more predictable.
 * 8) The humor is either flat, or even SHOCK HUMOR!
 * 9) The theme song isn't even much better, it's the same song from the original show just with some new insturments & again, it'll get stuck in your head.
 * 10) The episode, Gunman 2 is comparable to the infamous scene in Bring Me The Head Of Charlie Brown where Charlie kills the Peanuts gang, but it's Popee killing EVERYBODY AT WOLF ZIRKUS!!!!! & EVEN THE AUDIENCE!!! (Expect Kedamono & Papi) AND ALL BLOOD, BLOODSHED, GORE & MURDER ARE UNCENSORED...IN A KIDS SHOW!!! We are NOT KIDDING!!!
 * 11) * '''In fact, the murder scenes are even extremely violent, vulgar and realistic than all of the Underground Films and the original series combined!
 * 12) There was an infamous scene in "BALL" where Papi literally starts having a gay crush on Popee after he went into a coma when the ball hit him on the forehead & even plans to go further by SEXUALLY HARRASING HIM!!! IN A KIDS SHOW. Which is not only considered pedophilia, but also necrophilia and INCEST!!!
 * 13) * Thankfully, KIDS STATION deleted that scene after the episode's first broadcast, skipping it to the scene where Papi saves Popee from death.
 * 14) * There was even a scene in the episode "Mega Jump" where POPEE WAS FINGERING MARIFA!
 * 15) It wasn't screened in advance for critics! Sounds familiar?
 * 16) The new character's introductions are poorly done.
 * 17) * Marifa's introduction was poorly done, despite that she is a good character who wasn't as violent as her brother.
 * 18) * Kedamono Jr. Is extremely annoying and cries in almost every episode!
 * 19) Kedamono is now female, (Unlike in the US dub) which is pretty nonsensical, but also possibly sexist.
 * 20) The sound effects are really off.
 * 21) Just like the original. It got a manga, 2 words. FILLER. AND. STUPIDITIY.
 * 22) The specials aren't even any better!
 * 23) Its US dub is very cringe-worthy and it has horrible narration by Jim Reardon.
 * 24) * Plus, in the original Japanese version, Popee's gender was unknown. But in the US dub, Popee is female, as well as making Kedamono (Mr. Wolf in this dub) male. this would make people confused if they watched the original 2000 anime and watched this reboot (new show in the US).
 * 25) The jokes are stale, which makes the jokes from S4-6 of Johnny Test or even Teen Titans Go! look funny.
 * 26) Clean the Pile has a scene where Popee RIPS HIS OWN FACE OFF (in a similar manner of the felix the cat bootleg), making everyone passing out from shock.

Redeeming Qualities
(WIP.)
 * 1) Kedamono & Marifa are the only likeable characters.
 * 2) The pacing is MUCH BETTER than the original.
 * 3) Like the original, there are some funny moments despite the stale jokes.
 * 4) Some of the episode plots are creative.
 * 5) Kedamono Jr. can be cute at times.
 * 6) Its US dub, despite its cringe-worthiness. Censored all of the violence and banned a couple of disturbing episodes.
 * 7) The show improved a bit in Season 4 with better animation (compared with the previous), a decent newer theme song and the story being a lot better, although this isn't saying much because the violence from the previous 3 seasons are present and the episodes are still poor.
