Event Report] Plenty of cute photos of the staff were on display! POPTEPIC EXHIBITION -It's just a baby, right?

In commemoration of the broadcast of "POPTEPIC: The Second Series of TV Animation Works," a special exhibition " POPTEPIC Exhibition: It's just a baby, right? The exhibition, "POPTEPIC: Shoganai, Baby, That's Why.

POPTEPIC" is a four-frame manga by Bukubu Okawa that began serialization in 2014 in Manga Life WIN (Takeshobo). Since its serialization, the manga has gained fame as a "shitty manga," and has been on its way to dominance, with the first anime season airing in 2018, a TV special in 2019, and the second anime series, "POPTEPIC: The Second Series of TV Animation Works," airing from October 2022. It is a popular work.
The first exhibition looking back on the history of "POPTEPIC" from its birth to the present day is the "POPTEPIC EXHIBITION: It's just a baby, right?

Akiba Research Institute also received an invitation to "come check out this shitty exhibition! We received an invitation to visit the exhibition, so we went to check it out right away!

From the entrance, there was an aura of shit wafting from ......!

The exhibition started with a chronological table by Bukubu Okawa.
POPTEPIC": The memo (a replica faithfully reproduced by an expert) exchanged between Mr. Okawa and the editorial department before the serialization of the manga began is, in a sense, valuable!

An exhibit looking back on the original manga and the first anime season to date.


Storyboards and setting materials are also on display, along with comments from those involved in the animation.

For some reason, a picture of the staff in their childhood is attached instead of their portraits. It's just a coincidence, isn't it?

The childhood photos of animators Tsukasa Kotobuki and Masami Ohari can only be seen in this exhibit (supposedly)!

A nail bat that may have been used in the OP!

The AC Department exhibit features a sketchbook of "Hellshake Yano" used in the show!

In addition, all the materials used in the live-action and time-lapse parts, such as the felt mascot, are also on display. This is surprisingly impressive. ......

The best part of the exhibit is the actual costume worn by Shota Aoi, who played the role of Shota Aoi!
Oh no. It's not a total shit!

There was also a dance floor where everyone danced the "Eisai Haramasu Koi Dance!

Why don't you get up on the dance floor and have a night fever?

The last thing that awaits you is the merchandise sales area.

Cool T-shirts that fans and subculture shitheads alike will want to pick up, and I have a feeling they will sell out in no time.

There will also be gacha!

So, the surprisingly non-fucking "POPTEPIC EXHIBITION: It's a baby, after all!
