Pop Team Epic - Unsurprisingly, Pop Team Epic's production is the most Pop Team Epic thing.

Going back to episode 1, how did that French segment come about? I feel like I saw a lot of viewers at the advance screening and the TV broadcast who were left dumbfounded... That was Kamikaze Douga's idea. There's a French person who works at Kamikaze Douga, you see You mean the one who shows up on camera. That's him. He doesn't speak Japanese, and communicates at work with English, so Kamikaze Douga said, "Wouldn't it be funny if we gave him the manga and let him do as he pleased?" So we ended up going with that suggestion. Since he doesn't understand Japanese, he made the segment by looking at the art and imagining what was going on. That's why it ignores the canon and has Popuko and Pipimi going to Paris, and makes self-deprecating French jokes. Also, he creates those as a one-man team, which is why it's animated more like a Western cartoon. We also hired French voice actresses, so the footage is sent over there for voice-over recording. I was shocked to hear how much it actually cost to do all that... (laughs). Q. Why did you make the opening for a s----- anime so cool? Since it's a gag comedy, we had considered going in strong with the humor at the beginning. But then we realized that if you made the opening really cool, it would be completely ruined by the s----- anime in more ways than one, so we intentionally made it as cool as we could. The opening sequence starts off with a CRT TV being smashed, which had a lot of impact and felt very "Pop Team Epic" to me. We really did smash that TV in real life.

Self deprecating french jokes on a japanese tv show will never NOT be hilarious to me, for the very simple and morbid reason that paris not being as magical as japanese people thought it was, is something that made japanese people clinically depressed.

Wow this is some next level trolling right here. Especially with the reason why the anime opening was so awesome.
