Synopsis

Even though Sasaki's droll corporate life is constantly filled with work, it leaves him tired and unfulfilled at the end of every day. In search of some companionship to fill the emptiness in his life, he visits a pet shop on a whim, not realizing he's about to change his life forever. After settling on an adorable bird and bringing it home...his new roommate reveals that it's actually an incredible sage from another world who promptly bestows Sasaki with supernatural powers as well as the ability to cross between worlds. All Sasaki wants to do is use these newfound powers to live in peace and comfort, but there are more than a few colorful characters who might get in the way of that...

Sasapi came out the gate with one of the most original pilot episodes I’ve seen, implementing aspects of 4-5 different genres, a cool magical system, a talking bird, hot girls, I was wowed. Sadly, it never really matched those highs again. Still, I enjoyed it for what it was and would recommend it. There’s definitely more than enough to separate it from your run of the mill fantasy seasonal. It does have a fun cast of characters and an interesting world, it just felt underutilised at times and chaotic.

Sasapi doesn’t really do anything new. Just recently, we’ve had shows like Roukin8 that featured working age ... MCs going back and forth between worlds to make money selling goods. But, Sasapi is the first show to have that element mixed with magical girls, a secret government organisation and science fiction. While it sounds crazy, all of this stuff just really works in the confines of the story. The problem is the show introduces so many concepts that it has trouble balancing them all. Some cool characters like Hoshizaki or the neighbour girl get introduced and then kind of fade away as the show goes on, which is a shame because they were the best parts for me. That’s done in favour of a political negotiation arc in the isekai world, which I personally could not care less for. I’m not sure if this was just how it was in the books or an issue with the adaptation, but it felt like it needed 3-5 more episodes to really do justice to everything, either that or reduce the time spent in that arc. The story is at its best when it focuses more on Sasaki and Pii taking on magic users on earth with the government agency and selling stuff to the other world on the side.

Sasaki himself is a cool character. He’s not a generic degenerate otaku, but just a regular salaryman who’s standing still in life. Not able to advance up the ranks in his company or get a raise, he’s stuck in a cycle of overwork and exhaustion until he finds magical talking bird , Pii in a pet store. Their relationship is the cornerstone of the series and I liked seeing them come to understand one another and support the other’s weaknesses. Despite coming from different worlds they’re able to form an unbreakable bond over mutual pain and good old chateaubriand steak. The slice of life moments with them are authentic and tender. It reminded me a lot of a buddy cop dynamic which I’m a big fan of.

The production values also took a step back after the premiere episode. It was an hour long premiere and you could tell a ton of time went into it. But the action scenes after that felt half baked and even character models didn’t look as good. It’s not horrible, but definitely a noticeable downgrade. Luckily, this isn’t an action heavy series so it’s not always apparent and you can still enjoy the show.

I enjoyed Sasapi despite its flaws. The characters were fun and Sasaki and Pi’s banter was a great way to end my week on Fridays. I went out and bought the Light Novel as well so I’ll be reading that too. I’d recommend this anime for fans of urban fantasy, Japanese toxic work culture, or just working adults who want someone you can relate with as a protagonist for once.

Sasapi gets 7, out of 10.

Mixed Feelings

Sasaki and Peeps is definitely something. This anime tries to be so many things all at once: a supernatural, a fantasy, a slice of life, a gourmet, etc. To be brutually honest, I don't think this show knows what it wants to be. The main selling point behind Saski and Peeps is the fact that the MC, Sasaki, travels between his world and the fantasy one, thanks to his Peeps, his magical pet. This anime is at its best when the two worlds actually have some benefit to one another, whether that be Sasaki taking his business expertise from the real world into the fantasy ...

Sasaki to Pii-chan started out interesting enough: You have a first episode that looked like typical isekai slop only for it to shift gears completely into urban fantasy with espers in the second half. Count me sold I thought at the time. But no, alas, it's yet another case of "interesting premise, bad execution".

Actually no, it's worse than that. Bad execution can sometimes lead to amusing trainwrecks, this is just overly bland. I had just finished watching the last episode a few hours ago and already I'm forgetting plot details.

One of the main issues with this is how it lacks any sort of ...
