Sasaki to Pii-chan Episode 1 Discussion

This series is so fun.
I really need a 1 hr per episode from these series.

P.S. I can't believe there's a character like this here. lmao (if she's older, our MC might like her...)

@Rytakahashi09 Nothing. Love knows no bounds. They marry each other, have a child and live happily ever after in a mansion they bought in the fantasy world without any worry of financial instability. The good end.

I ended up having to watch this in about 3-4 splits. Not exactly because it was a 1hr special, but because the first half felt quite boring, whispery, and progressing too fast, so I kept being distracted.
It almost felt like they were rushing stuff and necessary tools just kept dropping in front of the MC. Which I think is exactly what happened and probably as intended, seeing as they teased so many possible surprises and twists by the end, i.e. possible issues on the Isekai World now that the MC is having to procrastinate his Isekai businesses, the young neighbor showing a "red flag", "Psychics" existence, the secret agency, and the suspicious immediate supervisor, which would've had to wait for another episode to be planted if they didn't rush the earlier parts. Not to mention we don't know much about Pii-chan yet.

The mysteries piqued my interest. But I'd remain wary of possible 'twist-bait' as I watch this series, for now. I appreciate good twists and turns, yes. But I'd rather it not be the only driving vehicle of a story.

@Jozuwa-_- this exactly. They rushed a lot of the really important isekai world building. One of the most interesting parts (for me at least) is usually those first few days/weeks/etc when they’re learning how isekai life works… doubly so if they still have access to their original world. How do they navigate money, magic systems, general societal outlook and culture, people, and exploring the new location?

Personally, I feel like they could’ve gotten a whole season of cozy slice of life isekai — navigating his life between both worlds — before even introducing the paranormal organization in his OG world. That initial interaction could have been an end-of-arc finale type of moment hinting at the next core. Granted, I haven’t read the manga or the LN so I have no way of knowing (yet. I might give it a go) if the content also had a rushed feeling to it in other media outlets, but basically TLDR… the 1st episode (despite being 48min) had really wack pacing and made the content feel less substantial than it had the potential to be.

Idk, just my OP
