Why do Pop Team Epic episodes repeat with different voice actors?


When watching Pop Team Epic on Crunchyroll, each episode plays twice in a row.
Both times the episode is nearly identical, only with the main characters
voiced by male actors instead of female actors.

Why does each episode of Pop Team Epic play twice? Why re-record the show with
different voice actors?




I'm not entirely sure as to why they've repeated this in further episodes,
however it might be due to contact obligations with the voice actors needing
them to have a full length run of work or not at all, perhaps cost-wise it was
also more effective, etc.

However, the reason they have Male VAs in the first place is due to a gag
within the manga where they ask two very famous male VAs to voice them in an
anime adaptation
