by There are also scenes where characters eat other characters.
The official X for the short anime series “Popee the Performer,” which aired in 2000, was updated on the 28th, and a terrifying post similar to the original work has become a hot topic.
“Popee the Performer” is a dark comedy that aired on the anime specialty channel Kids Station. The main characters are Poppy, a clown apprentice at the Wolf Circus, Poppy’s assistant Beast, and Poppy’s father, Papy.
The series contains many extreme depictions, such as these characters eating other characters and dragging them around in their cars. On the 26th of this month, a mysterious post reading, “Did you notice?! It’s November 26th, 2000!!” recorded 5.59 million views and became a hot topic. Users who watched the anime at the time responded with comments like, “Don’t remind me of my trauma,” “This is too nostalgic,” “Since watching this, I’ve often had dreams about being chased,” “This is trauma number one in my family,” and “Is there an official account?” As the post became a hot topic, it didn’t stop there.
An announcement was made saying, “I often get asked where I can watch Popee The Performer… If you search for it on YouTube, you’ll find that a foreigner uploaded it without permission, so please watch it! It doesn’t officially earn a single yen, though.” The official announcement caused a stir on the internet, encouraging unauthorized reproduction.
