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 one, or when he uses the magic he learns in the fantasy one to fight other magicians in the real one. Outside of that, Sasaki and Peeps struggles to balance the plotlines that happen in the two worlds. There's very little cohesion in this show, which leads to awful pacing since the writing has to just pull stuff out of its ass in order to move things along. Sasaki and Peeps really feels like if someone took two completely different anime and clogged them together without putting in the effort to justify the contrasting themes. It's not bad, but it could've been better.
