Popee the Performer

2000–2003 · 3 seasons

A manic, garish circus cartoon that slides into surreal cruelty and sudden violence, funny and unsettling in equal measure.

Created by
Ryuji Masuda
Genres
Animation, Comedy
Overview
Popee, an apprentice clown, and his assistant, Kedamono, attempt various circus acts and go about their daily lives as performers. Things have a way of going wrong, however—whether it's a blinding rage, burning jealousy, or even something as simple as hunger, and their mentor, Papi, is little help to the chaos they tend to find themselves in.
How it feels
Absurd, dark, campy and eerie. Brisk and needs your attention.
About
Madness, obsession, violence, identity
Content
