| What a dark horse show. A fresh take on the isekai sub-genre of traveling to another world to trade for gold. I think this will be one of my favorite shows of the season right up there with Frieren. The comedic timing of the priceless meme-worthy facial expression changes was the highlight for me. I initially thought traveling to another world and back doing trading would be simple enough to be more of the same stuff that I like to consume...but the additional element of this taking place mostly in the real world with a whole separate supernatural story setting dealing with non-magic psychic-related crimes and all little other crime-thriller elements like tailing, bugging devices, and whatnot--are the cherry on top of this series. The voice acting is A-list top-tier talent, pacing is smooth, and the animation/illustrations is vibrant and well done for both the real world and the fantasy world. It never left me bored for a moment. The school girl with deep parental issues...showing her yandere-side at the end was an unexpected surprise, but a welcome one. Would be especially dangerous if she somehow woke up one day with esper-powers too. Not to mention the cute animal companion this time being Pii-chan...I'm a little tired of slimes or big talking wolves, so an adorable pudgy sparrow like Pii-chan is a refreshing extra layer of icing on the cake. I liked this first episode so much, I watched it a 2nd time...and didn't even notice it was 48 minutes long (2 episodes)! Or the fact that Yuuki Aoi was voicing Pii-chan! She has some serious range, like crazy girls (Clementine), young girls (Taylor, Violet Evergarden), now male voices/animals (Pii-chan). I'm loving her as a VA more and more every time. If there was one thing this show missed, it was that they didn't explain how he was going to exchange the gold for yen in the real world? I'll give it a while, since even other shows that dealt with fantasy-currency exchanging like Isekai Shokudou didn't show it until until well into the series, and only briefly at that. Can't wait for the next episode now. |

| Wow, I enjoyed that so much I didn’t even realise it was almost an hour until I looked down at the end, lol. |
 |
| Chill man, cute bird, workholic woman, and yand-mysterious girl. So good first eps so far. |
 |
| Wow whole 48 minutes gives me a strong impression on this one. Can't wait for the next episode. |
Why do we have to live in such a cruel world?  |
| Having Tomokazu Sugita and Aoi Yuuki voicing the two main characters will make this one special. |
| Okay i don't know what this is going to be haha. Was okay. |

| Hmm, a little bit naive plot for me. Does he really think he's not being listened by this phone, not just all of that stuff they putted in his room? |
| Wow I liked it a lot it has potential to be favorite of the season. Looks like there is gonna be happening a lot of things with both of the world and with girl from next door. Love the MC and the bird. Good to see a MC that has chill reactions and how he finds solutions and he is not dumb so thats a very big plus. |
| Thought this show would just be about a guy and his bird….. it’s apparently quite a lot more than that lol |

@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.

| Why'd they have to go and mess up a perfectly good show by adding a creepy element of a potential romance between like a 15 year old high school girl and like a 40 year old office worker |

| nice, love this anime. remind me of Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka wo Tamemasu https://myanimelist.net/anime/52461/Rougo_ni_Sonaete_Isekai_de_8-manmai_no_Kinka_wo_Tamemasu both have same element. - mc sold their world item to isekai - mc can teleport to their world and isekai |
| I love first cap of the anime. |
 |
| A strong start for this one! The first half was essentially Roukin's first season in 28 minutes. While not as funny as that one, it did have many good jokes here and there and I like how it quickly established the Other World. And just when I was asking myself "Now, where does this go wrong?", they introduced the Psychics as an interesting plot point in the real world. So with a bunch of intriguing plot strings and a good amount of gags, this show opened up a lot of good paths to follow. Should be one of the good ones this season! |
| similar premise to "Earning 80000 in another world for retirement" but with an old guy and a bird. Not the worst. Hope the yandere sticks around, she's great. I wish we'd get an anime where the MC would decline the orginization and just keep on at his life lol. |
 |
| More Anime need to do this. 48 mins first episode is such a good introduction to the Anime. I thought this just gonna be wholesome slice of life Sasaki and Pii-chan on Isekai, and then he got recruited by MIB? LMAO I wonder why the girl next door always sit outside her house, must be more into it. Btw look at the VA list, god damn it's Stacked. |
 |
| When I read the title Sasaki and Peeps I tought this is just one of those old man SoL raising pet. Lmao |
| I really liked this first episode, and this looks to be a fun watch. It'll be interesting to see how Sasaki juggles both worlds, and I'm also interested to see how they both intertwine (if at all). The neighbor girl is cute. I was hoping she might play a bigger role in the anime, but after looking at her name in the character section I'm not so sure lol. |
 |
| Oh shit, this is the anime with Kantoku's girls. I totally forgot about it. I didn't know it's double length episode. Such a nice surprise. First part got me thinking I'm going into some chill isekai anime. The the whole thing with physics... NGL I felt disappointed by tone change. But I guess it doesn't look too bad. I wonder what role will this JK play. She clearly seems interested in Sasaki, but with him being an adult (actual adult, not some collage student) I don't see this going into romance subplot. I really don't know what to expect from this anime now. Nonetheless I'm looking forward to it. |
| God, way too much happened this episode but hey, I still loved the Ep! We’ve got the JK having some feelings for him along with the yandere vibes, Sasaki’s junior quitting after that interesting proposal, and the duality between the new job in real world and the businesses in the virtual world. That’s a lot to take in, but hey, I’m digging this. Pii-chan casually just spelling out his/her full name was hilarious. Great decision to have this pilot episode be twice the episode length, I’m curious to see how many episodes this will ultimately be getting. |

| Was really loving this until the paranormal agency pushed its way into the plot and derailed everything. Such a weird seemingly unnecessary left turn out of nowhere. We've already got magic and a whole 'nother world! I'll give it a few more episodes, maybe in time it'll all tie in together or pull it off in a way that will prove me wrong. |
| 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...)  |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| doing business on another world? now that's an isekai anime I've never thought I'd be into. Boy, that escalated so quickly from owning a parrot to being an agent of a secret organization. I checked out this series not expecting anything special but it was surprisingly so fun to watch, really glad it's got a 50 mins long episode. hope it continues to be like this for the rest of episodes. |
