Two cats live in the margins of fandom where the real weirdness happens. Riri's spiral over an idol who doesn't know she exists is funny because it's true, the kind of parasocial devotion that feels absurd until you realize you do the same thing. Popo just exists to make chaos worse. Eighty bite-sized episodes means there's no time for the show to explain itself or apologize for what it finds funny, which is exactly why it works.
Riri and Popo are two cats living out their days in the realm of pop culture obsession. Riri channels all her emotional energy into supporting her favorite idol, riding every high and crashing through every low of fandom life with dramatic flair. Popo floats through existence with cheerful obliviousness, cute in a slightly devilish way. Their short comedic adventures draw on everyday geek hobbies and the promotions that surround them. Episodes are bite-sized and quick, fitting the format of an original anime made for TikTok, the first title created specifically for that platform.
