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...

Entertaining and interesting, but lacking and shallow.

Sasaki and Peeps is the perfect show for when you're mid-flight on Southwest airline going from coast to coast in the US on a Boeing 747 that may or may not have had its emergency exit door blown off a month ago due to "mechanical failure" and "poor maintenance". While in the middle seat between an egregiously overweight couple who are spilling over into your personal space, covering you in their tricep sweat, you can snuggle up comfortably in your warm moist cocoon as you place your phone on your laptable next to your peanuts and coke to immerse ... yourself in the wacky and wonderful world of Sasaki and Peeps.

Why is it the perfect show for such an oddly specific and mildly nauseating situation? This is because neither you nor the couple sandwhich you find yourself between will be able decide whether funny bird cartoon is more interesting and attention-grabbing than the latest news article about another critical mechanical failure on a Boeing airplane.

With the trauma dump over, let's cover the show.

To start, the first episode is a double length feature which covers all of the basic world and character building you need to begin understanding what is happening in Sasaki and Peeps' lives. While this might be a turn off for some, the length is necessary and actually very well-paced as it perfectly lowers you into what is a chaotic mess of a universe. Imagine having to explain a fever dream to a friend where you have a magical talking bird from another world take you under their wing to live a dual life in said other world while teaching you magic, only to come back to the your own world to be recruited by a secret psychic organization that polices other psychics, all while being hunted by magical girls with a vendetta against psychics. That's not an easy task and the production team somehow managed to do all of that while sneaking in nuanced bits of future story and character developments to keep you coming back for more.

However, from Episode 1 on the pacing never really changes and the emotional Rollercoaster of trying to figure out where the hell all of this is going mellows out into a comfy isekai-but-also-not-isekai show. It is mildly disappointing since now there's a fairly large disconnect between the two main worlds of the series, Isekai and Not Isekai, since it's not realistically possible to tell a cohesive story or plotline in either without devoting several episodes, making it all feel like an appeal point than a crucial plot device. That's not to say it isn't well-written and interesting, it's just that there's so much density to the information and story that I think even the Light Novel, having not read it yet, probably struggles to contain and organize it all.

But given all of this it is a breath of fresh air that the characters are written fairly competently and make rational decisions in such an unrational setting. Everyone has a goal and role that they play with different tools to achieve them, and a lot of their scheming and machinations when revealed show no major illogical leaps purely for the sake of progressing the plot. My only complaints are that the limited screen time make a lot of them feel one-note in personality and desire, and everyone is written like how a middle-aged man sees them and hopes they act.
There are no major deviations from expectations which while grounding the story does take away slightly from the excitement.

Now as for recommending the show, I do. It's entertaining and intriguing enough to want to see what happens next, while just strange and normal enough that the strangers on each of your shoulders don't get what's going on but think "The pink bird with a star is cute". It's a little more on the closeted weeb side of the anime spectrum, but sits comfortably in the "I wouldn't mind if my parents walked in on me watching this" section.

6/10

TL;DR - Show about funny pink birb with a bad Italian accent is entertaining and chaotic, but lacks in certain areas leaving a lot to be desired like the middle-aged business man's receding hairline

Mixed Feelings

Interesting premise, average isekai.

Characters other than MC and Peeps might as well not exist. World itself is trying to do too much while somehow still having so little. It's impressive how generic it all feels. The worst are the "psychics" and how they hilarious fight using their.. guns.. not any psychic abilities. Dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Also, can I just say how fake the "aww so cute" moments of Sasaki feel like with Peeps? They feel forced and fake.

Art is fine, no complaints. Sound is there, I guess, nothing stood out to me in the anime concerning audio.

Anyway, watch it to see how a good ...

I read the Synopsis for this and it honestly didn’t sound that interesting to me. I thought it would be your generic Isekai and it basically is. After watching it i was pleasantly surprised at first. The show startet out very fun and interesting. It was honestly a great watch in the first few episodes!
Sadly the author of this story is a huge f*cking pervert with a fetish for underage girls and ruined the story. Some of the dialogue was honestly appalling and should put the author on a watchlist.
Disgusting.

Please just don’t watch this! It will only make you mad.
