News in Fake Sports: Mike’s Mic covers ‘Surf’s Up’ (2007), and some thoughts on the mockumentary genre

“Obviously, I’m a huge Mike’s Mic fan, a follower of MCU, if you will.

He does a fantastic job breaking down the movie, as always. And he’s so right to question whether or not humans exist in the universe of Surf’s Up.

But I want to shine a little bit of an extra light on one of my favorite aspects of Surf’s Up. It is a mockumentary.

The mockumentary is an underappreciated and, frankly, under utilized style of film-making in general but in fictional sports?!?!”

Obscure Animation Subject #164: Dash Kappei

Based on the manga series by Noboru Rokuda, this sports comedy is produced by Tatsunoko Production and aired on Fuji TV from October 4, 1981 to December 26, 1982, lasting 65 episodes and was shown before Sazae-san. Directed by Masayuki Hayashi and Seitaro Hara, it follows a short teenager named Kappei Sakamoto, whose a pervert but surprisingly has good basketball skills.

I personally thought it was pretty funny. Kappei is a hilarious protagonist that’s kinda a mini more lucky Ataru Moroboshi. The animation is also the cool-looking Tatsunoko as to expect. Overall I like it.
