So it turns out that there are no standalone videos for Garupa PICO on the JP YT channel and even if there were once (which I'm fairly sure there was)... they don't exist anymore. Using the entire Bandori TV video could work, but that itself is kinda not representative... and also the originals on YT don't exist anymore, being moved to bilibili. That kinda ruins the main point of this post but... gotta roll with what I have.

One year later, Aya one year older (...kinda) and the end of Garupa PICO being one year ago! A quick message, if you haven't seen PICO yet, do yourself a favour and watch it! There's 26 episodes running for 3 minutes each and the English Bandori YouTube channel has subs for every episode (a playlist here). So now that a year has passed, which episodes have the most views? Which have the least? I've looked at all of the views for each episode (on the EN Bandori channel), so let's find out!

And that's that! I'm honestly not surprised to see 24 and 21 at the top but I am surprised of how big of a gap there is between them and everything else... With a second season (or... third..?) on the horizon, the fun's not stopping! If it's anything like its predecessor, it's gonna be amazing!

Did you know they made wallpapers for each episode? I used the phone version of Ep. 24 for a while on my old phone. You can find them here!
