Looking for some splendid manzai comedy that will have you rolling on the floor? If yes, then the upcoming Teppen—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anime is the way to go.
The story picks up traditional Japanese comedy and mixes it with high school girl units who prepare routines to compete with each other. It is a show that will break all your stereotypes about female comedians and provides you with laughs that don’t harm or offend anyone.
Teppen—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anime’s new promotional video gives us a glimpse into the world of manzai or double-act comedy, and the various high school groups that participate in it. The show is set to premiere on July 2, 2022.
The trailer previews the anime’s opening theme song, ‘Teppen— Tengoku ~TOP OF THE LAUGH!!!~’ by Teppen— All Stars, a unit consisting of the fifteen main cast members. It also teases the ending theme song ‘Ahatte Teppen’ by May’n.
Bushiroad’s video introduces us to all the comic trio units: Young Wai-wai, Celebri-Tea, Akudare О̄koku, Shinryakusha, and Dangan Kunoichi. Young Wai-wai is the focus group of the protagonists, Yayoi Sakamoto, Yomogi Takahashi, and Yuzu Hosono.
Instead of a double-act, the anime gives us groups of three people performing manzai with two ‘funny men’ or ‘boke’ and one ‘straight man’ or ‘tsukkomi.’ The act is a basic one where the boke does and says funny stuff while the tsukkomi remains expressionless, giving the audience some hilarious instances to laugh on.
Yayoi is a massive fan of comedians and comedy acts, going as far as forming her own duo with Yomogi when they were kids. Following her passion, Yayoi enrolled in Kazuki High School in Nanba, which is a starting point for many comedians.
There she reunites with Yomogi and brings back their comic duo ‘Konamonzu.’ The pair starts to perform routines at the park again like they used to and are later joined by Yuzu, who’s a transfer student and likes to write comedy scripts.
Honestly, I’m looking forward to the kinds of jokes they come up with for all the different groups and their styles.
The anime looks really fun and promising, and I suggest you should give it a try when it comes out.
