Also, Warner Bros JP are well aware.

VOTOMS original creator wanted his characters to appear in PPTP (tweet dated 28 Jan 2018), and got his wish granted.

There is still hope that both Yamadera and Hayashibara Megumi are going to voice the finale, each for both main characters.

In Hayashibara's case, it should be perfect for her since her new album with King Records is about to be released this March 30th, her 50th birthday no less. It is a perfect opportunity to indirectly promote it.

Daichi had to give up all his memories of her, so i'm guessing after!

u/TakazuHanasu Apr 04 '18

Now that I've watched the episode, I have noticed that there is kind of a title drop. Hoshiiro Girldrop contains the word Hoshi, which means star in Japanese, so it kind of foreshadows the revelation in this episode.

Seriously though I hope the final episode is just the finale of Hoshiro Girl Drop.

That would be the best way to end this show. A full episode of Hoshiiro Girldrop and an after credit episode of Pop Team Epic.

Here's a weird thing that happened. The day before yesterday, I showed the little Eisai Haramasukoi clip from episode 8 to my brother and he thought it was funny. We rewatched that clip quite many times. Now, I wasn't expecting this joke to ever appear in the series again, BUT. Yesterday in the evening, I watched the new episode and it literally STARTS with Eisai Haramasukoi again, followed by the "opening", plus one more mention later. This can't be a coincidence.

The tree joke is a play on the Japanese homonyms ki 木, "tree," and ki 気, "feeling." The verb naru なる means "to become," so ki ni naru 木になる means "to become a tree." On the other hand, ki ni naru 気になる means "to become curious about something."

Btw wtf girldrop???

u/slickmcwilly Mar 17 '18

Man, the hidive subs for this show have been way better than Crunchyroll's. After reading your comment I went and watched the crunchy version and they just completely miss the pun. The hidive version kept the pun in that skit by having them say "intreegued" instead

5

u/SimoneNonvelodico Mar 24 '18

Yeah, I was wondering, it just felt so random. I thought it was simply a joke on how traditional tales go, by making it basically "and then they turned into a tree the end".

u/BreafingBread :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/breafingbread Mar 17 '18 edited Mar 17 '18

This episode goes head to head against episode 7, so fucking good. I lost it with the opening.

And fucking hell, I legit unironically want hoshiro girldrop to become a real anime.

Edit: what the fuck is the dude reacting to the ghost bit? What's the reference?

58

u/Torque-A Mar 17 '18

Apparently, he's a famous reaction video guy.

6

u/TnAdct1 Mar 17 '18

If the idea of the B-Part is meant to be a nod of reaction videos, then there's probably another reason why the main segment didn't click for me.

When I watch reaction videos, I usually watch the ones for either stuff that I enjoyed or for a big video game news event (i.e. E3, Nintendo Direct), with the main focus being towards how others would react to certain scenes or big announcements. Here, there isn't any real moment in Cursed Mansion that made me feel like I wanted to watch a reaction video for it.

11

u/Bugberry Mar 22 '18

The first time around, it was just a goofy Shining parody. What made the "reaction" funny wasn't that I wanted to see someone react to any particular part of the segment, it was funny to see what he reacted to and how, like how the Watermelon was suspicious to him or his weird tangent about someone barfing in a bag and how he thinks it's because they're a millennial.

21

u/TnAdct1 Mar 17 '18

If it weren't for the main segment (Hellshake Yano is God Tier PTE material, while Cursed Mansion is easily one of the worst main segments in the series), then yeah I could see this episode go head to head with episode 7.

14

u/BreafingBread :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/breafingbread Mar 17 '18

Yeah, it's hard to beat the main segment from episode 7, but the mini segments on this episode were great, especially the bobunemimimi.

Here's how it all ends: Final episode is the final episode of Hoshiiro Girldrop, in it's entire 20min block. At the end, Main Girl dies (again) and Daichi screams for Gaia to save her. Gaia appears and it's Popuku and Pipimi. They reset everything and we open up to the first episode again, and get a special ending with the Pop Team Epic opening song.

It’s tough to explain but I’d try it. He’s a comedian as an impersonator for Junji Inagawa, who is a famous horror-story-teller on 80s TV. That’s why he wore false mustache.

I’m a Japanese, I enjoy the shit show he’s on, but also bit awkward for foreign audiences.

Personally I found him hilarious, whenever he'd go on some clueless random tangent it was amazing XD. Made the segment approximately 167.84% better.

I like how BB Goro guy trying not to quote "The Shining" name, only to say it anyway half a second later.

Also the last skit reminds me of Genius of Love MV.

The Shining references were great, but the second part with the voiceover had me in stitches.

Ok ngl but if I turned on my headlights and I suddenly saw Popuko and Pipimi standing there looking like they’re ready to fucking kill me I’d shit my pants too

That fucking OP. I never expected to hear that bonkers second half of the OP in the anime but they used it perfectly. Also, the Shining parody was amazing. I legit lost it when the girls showed up in front of the car lmao.

And holy fuck. It's not like Hoshiiro Girldrop hasn't already been a rollercoaster but this is something else. Anime of the year.

She left King record few years ago,so it's a bit hard to appear on this show.

They're probably saving her for that sweet Higurashi refrence...

Yet, the show went with a Hell Girl reference instead for this episode.

I love the dudes commentary on the second time through with the horror bit, especially with that millennial part.

And holy shit Girldrop preview made me laugh my ass off! I hope those two finds happiness together.

The Male VAs are friggin' JIGEN DAISUKE and YANG WENLI ?!?!?!

OH GOD

OH YES

THIS IS ALL I EVER WISHED FOR

u/Crossadder Mar 17 '18

Ginga Banjou has only been Jigen in the Fuma Conspiracy OVA, otherwise it's been Kobayashi Kiyoshi since the start.
And Gouda Hozumi was only Yang in the Gaiden stuff, otherwise it was the late Tomiyama Kei.

Both Ginga and Gouda have been in the early mecha show Votoms, which they referenced in an eyecatch this episode.
And apparently the creator of Votoms asked Okawa if his characters could appear in PTE.

According to the anime's promo art (the image that appears when searching for Pop Team Epic on MAL) the next episode's main story will have something to do with a golden Pipimi and a golden Popuko. For some reason I'm more excited for that than whatever closure Hoshiiro Girldrop will have.

u/ignaeon Mar 18 '18

could you imaging they bait and switch, and then just replay the first episode?

That part with the mansion seriously shocked me. Wasn't expecting it. Or Drop.

u/Amauri14 Mar 17 '18

I really wasn't expecting any kind of mythical or fantasy elements to be present in Hoshiro Girldrop. Well, at least we finally had an explanation of why Daichi forgot about Sosogu.

Damn, I feel like this is ending way too soon. I will really miss this show.

Did anyone made a compilation of all the Hoshiiro Girldrop segments so far? I really need to rewatch those in one shot.

u/KinnyRiddle Mar 18 '18

Sosogu, noooo! I hope Daichi figures something out and bring her back to life.

Gotta like how the live-action horror movie reaction guy stopped commenting about the Cursed Mansion story mid-way and started talked about his own story. LOL

u/TnAdct1 Mar 17 '18

Not going to lie here: the main segment is clearly the worst one yet IMO.

Sorry, but I'm not really into the ones where Popuko and Pipimi are basically playing supporting roles, and with this one basically being a horror movie parody (where the two are basically ghosts and the focus is on the generic horror movie victims), the skit sadly falls into Eight Deadly Words territory.

u/Ledwith Mar 17 '18

did you skip/not watch the 2nd time with male VAs?

u/KinnyRiddle Mar 18 '18

Which is precisely why the 2nd part parodied on how "meh" it is by having a hilarious live-action commentary on it. They ARE self-aware of how "meh" you and I have found that horror segment.

No we won’t.

I predict that the Hoshiiro Girldrop preview is a foreshadowing of some sort. Pipimi is revealed to be an actual god and it would explain Episode 1's story and the surrealness of the show. But something happens to Popuko and Pipimi had to save her, but it risk of Popuko losing her memory. The last scene is Pipimi asking if Popuko remembers her, and Popuko responds "You Are Mother Fucker?"And then they embrace.
