Sasaki to Pii-chan

Sasaki, a 39-year-old corporate employee, has resigned himself to live a modest life without dreams and dangers. To his great surprise, his fate takes a brutal turn after he decides to adopt a Java sparrow that he names Pii-chan. The talking bird not only happens to be a reincarnation of a famous magician from another world, but it decides to grant some of its powers to Sasaki—along with the ability to traverse between worlds. Sasaki begins a lucrative business of selling technological items from his world to the less advanced civilization of the other.

However, Sasaki's life becomes more chaotic when he stops an attempt on a woman's life with his new powers. Unfortunately, the woman Sasaki saved also happens to be a government agent named Hoshizaki, who is tasked with tracking down gifted individuals like him. Forced to join Hoshizaki's secret agency, Sasaki partakes in dangerous missions to find other gifted criminals. He does not even have the luxury of hiding in the other world, where a war is about to break out. If he wants to protect peace in both worlds, Sasaki will have to become the hero that no one expects him to be.

This is an anime with truely so much going on. There are so, so many storylines and they all interweve. I didn't find it intimidating, in fact I dropped the show for about 2 months and didn't have a problem jumping back in when life allowed. If you like shows that stay in their lane move on, this is weird and interesting and trying to spin many plates. A couple drop, sure, but mostly it's incredible to watch.

The show revolves and Sasaki balancing his life in two world and his pet bird whose secretly a powerful magic user. He's an older protag and interesting guy. ... He's got a reasonable skillset and it's fun to watch him rationalise and work his way into and out of things using the skills he's picked up, for me I found it refreshing to have someone whose way more realistic than some overpowered edgelord child or a cop with a past. The supporting case are all great, but it's early days yet and there's so much more we are yet to see.

There's so much more I could say, but I think this is a show you need to watch if you want something that's a little less stuck to the tropes. I found it refreshing to see a show that isn't so obsessed with the same tired tropes. Sometimes it uses them, sometimes it ignores them, sometimes it inverts them. There are many storylines and I can't wait to see how they develop. Looking forward to S2!

Mixed Feelings

Sasaki to Pii-chan had me hooked at first! An everyday guy getting sucked into another world with a talking bird? Sign me up! But man, after a while, it felt like the story just got lost.

It introduced a bunch of cool ideas – psychics, magic, even magical girls! – but then it never really did anything with them. All these characters were floating around without a clear purpose, and Sasaki himself just kinda wandered from one thing to the next. It was like watching someone play a video game where they keep getting sidetracked by random quests and forget about the main story.

Don't get ... me wrong, the concept had a lot of potential. But for me, Sasaki to Pii-chan ended up being a 5 out of 10. It started with a bang but fizzled out without any direction.

Not Recommended

Sasaki to Pii-chan has a good begining like a decent isekai anime where the MC is the one who obtain a superpower, but the poor execution of the story were disappointing. This anime failed to entertain me even though it started with something interesting.

Here is the only thing I like about this show is the main character Sasaki and his pet Pii-chan, other than that is not in my interest. I'm losing interest at the first 3 episode, the world building is weird, the pacing is messed up like they didn't really care about the progress and skip it to the aftermath, too many plot ... hole and questionable things. If you wanted to watch some light and enjoyable slice of life anime, this one is not recommended because the plot contain a weird political stuff and a lot of weird characters which has no background that I think 12 episode is not enough to make an explanation about all that and the ending was terribly questionable. I can't say it's cliffhanging but a weird way to end a story.
