Wake Up Girls Zoo is the Most Real Cartoon
At least, the WUG Wrestling Championship seems to be more real than the WWE is this week.
This is mostly just a reminder post as to the fact that Wake Up Girls Zoo continues to exist as a biweekly gag anime, mostly because outside of my hardcore WUGner acquaintances, I don’t really see much talk about it. It’s actually pretty good way to waste three minutes.
This post is largely prompted by the fact that I totally busted a gut this week when, as MayuC and Yoppi face off in the wrestling ring, their smack talk got a little too real. I mentioned this back when they revealed Yoppi’s radical new haircut for the upcoming second movie, but complaints about confusing MayuC and Yoppi were a very real thing whilst WUG was running, so there’s probably something to be said about the blunt honesty of them actually admitting this (and the real reason for Yoppi’s freshly-sheared mop in the process).
Also, the episode seven talk about animation techniques was hella amusing too.

Episode 6 was hilarious! It reminded me of the classic Warner Brothers cartoon “Duck Amuck,” the one where Daffy argues with the animator.
I’m glad that, just like with the first series, it’s much more self-aware than the average idol show.
It’s gonna take a long while to get used to short-haired Yoppi, though.
