Sasaki to Pii-chan is not great and not bad either it's just decent mess of a story. When I started watching this i was actually having fun the first episode was great, 2 and 3 as well, but afterwards... yeah lest just say it really wasn't the greatest. After the first episode you start to realize that the story is taking on way too many plotlines wich at the start made me feel like this is going to be multiple arc story, but yeah no... it just puts all plotlines at the same time to the point the story becomes a complete mess.
In terms of animation. I personally feel like it took big hit after episode 1 and I for some reasson got the feel as I continued trought the series that it slowly got worse
I would recommend this to somebody who just wants to turn their brain off compleatly and jus…

Sasaki & Peeps has a nice premise and likeable duo but fails to do anything exciting with it. Oh we have to start the standard trade routine and bargaining and opening a restaurant with curry instead of spending more time on the actual parts of a fantasy world that are interesting like magic.
Unless you count excitement as getting a new 16 year old girl to blush at Sasaki the 40+ year old every episode. Huge age gaps are kind of horrifying to me, but I guess with pedo and child abusing politicians/princes/billionaires it's being normalized? Can I please not be in this reality anymore?
The art was slightly better than drab and the music was forgettable.
I really want this premise in the hands of a more capable author but we live in the worst alternate reality.

Well, for an isekai, it's pretty unique in my opinion. The fantasy world is your bog standard isekai world, but the real world has it's won surprises. Splitting within them was enjoyable, and kept me wondering what's going to happen.
The main character is pushing 40, and has dedicated himself to work without getting much recognition. I think this is meant to be a self insert for middle aged guys, which I'm not sure I can complain about. There is a problematic factor of every young teen girl wanting him/blushing when he's around. Like there's 3 (although technically one is over 100, of course). Like it didn't need that, but I guess the author liked the idea that teen girls might like single middle aged men. It's cringe, but not a huge plot point.
Anyway, with that out of the way, the main…

Typical incident of promising beginning, poor execution...I think this phrase is fairly accurate for that show. Even though I actually like main character Sasaki for his reactions, maturity, problem solving abilities and other many aspects that notion simply isn't enough. During the story, so many new themes and narratives are introduced that after a while, inevitably getting the impression that writers are stuck unclear, and it can't be said that they've managed to strike a balance between them. There's nothing wrong with saying, "Let's add a little bit of this and a little bit of that, it'll look a bit like a soup, but it'll also resemble a carnival," but when it's not put in order, we're left with this kind of inconsistent work.
I think it's been accepted for a second season. If it man…

This anime is criminally underrated, and some of the reviewers here are on some straight haterade.
Id say this show is easily a solid 7.5, it has fantastic visuals, a great sound track, and an insanely interesting premise.
Normal near 40 year old guy in a normal corporate office life, you think this is going to a be a chill and slow going slice o life- just as you get comfortable BAM its a fantasy world-hopping isekai that leans on the money and resource management side. Then BOOM it's a fantasy cooking show then BOOM it's all about magic BOOM psychics and espers and espionage BOOM you got a war and BOOM now thrs magical girls!!!!
The pacing is handled very well, my curiosity continually roused as i considered the ever increasing factors involved. The magic systems are interesting, the…

This is a pretty enjoyable anime if you're looking for something relaxing and easy to watch. The political side of the story can be a little confusing at times, but the overall premise is interesting enough to keep you engaged.
I really liked how the series blends psychic powers, magic, and magical girls into the same world. It sounds chaotic, but somehow it manages to create a unique atmosphere that stands out from other isekai and fantasy shows.
My biggest issue is the pacing. The story constantly moves between different worlds and plotlines, which sometimes makes it feel unfocused. Just when I start getting invested in one setting, the anime shifts its attention somewhere else. Because of that, some parts of the story feel underdeveloped and don't get the attention they deserve.

The middle aged power fantasy: financial stability and a cute pet that likes you!
This show has fun with the some classic anime tropes and keeps things fresh by introducing lots of events to the plot. It's a lighthearted fantasy romp, and a enjoyable season perfect for a casual watch.
It has received a lot of poor reviews, which I personally don't understand. The show is simply a lighthearted comedy with some action highlights, and I fear people are taking the fantasy and combat aspects of it too seriously and expecting some expanded universe or charismatic protagonist.
This is the story of two middle aged men enjoying an isekai portal fueled psuedo-retirement, who then find themselves getting into wacky hijinks as a result of being parts of both worlds. Sit down, enjoy the show, and ha…

Wait for season 2.
The themes opened so far would suffice for at least 4 completely different animes. Spice&Wolf meets Mushoku Tensei meets Saving 80,000 Gold meets Jujutsu Kaisen meets Sailor Moon. There's not nearly enough time and space to let any of them take shape and spread wings, it's not so much a cliffhanger, as a 12-episode teaser for an upcoming series.
It's an awesome anime but it doesn't have an end. It feels like it was aborted mid-season, mid story arc, with so many threads open and hardly any even moderately developed. A chekov gun hanged in ep 1 and reminded of every other episode, is shown to be hanging there right at the end of ep12. Wait for S2, and if it's not 24+ episodes, also wait for season 3.
(also, flashy action is toned down in favor of strategy, economy, sub…

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.

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 overpo…

Sasaki & Peeps is a mixed isekai series where a powerful mage, known as the Star Sage of Hertz Kingdom, reincarnates as a Java Sparrow and is taken home by Sasaki, an average salaryman suffering from the stress and financial troubles of his office job. Given the chance to build his wealth through interdimensional trading and learning the art of magic, Sasaki's life takes a dramatic turn from one of confining stress to one of unexpected adventures. How will Sasaki and Peeps fare against the ordeals of traveling between worlds?
Story & Character: 6/10
The story follows a typical isekai reincarnation premise, with a modern-day protagonist receiving assistance from an otherworldly being. The narrative starts off lighthearted but evolves into a tycoon-style series with a government organizati…

Sasaki no Pii-chan is a story about Sasaki, a 30ish old man that lives in an apparently normal world, after he meets Pii-chan a mystical and magical creature of another world, he and his friend start an adventurous life in both Sasaki and Pii-chan world.Also the main reason sasaki travels to another world is simple to gain some money and makes his life better. Cause you know … living like a salaryman nowadays is not that special or confortable .
This anime looks like inuyasha, kagome and inuyasha are almost the same as sasaki and pii-chan, but unlike inuyasha, pii-chan can travel to sasaki world and really enjoy living there. The way that both of them interact with the two worlds are in a more political and non heroic way. But Sasaki and Pii-chan both play important roles in both worlds.…

When I watched the first episode I was very interested in how an employee got into isekai because of his pet bird, and he started learning magic, doing business, and participating in noble politics there.
But I started to feel 'less like' when there was the concept of superpowers in the 'first world' especially with the government superpower organization, I think it just messed up my interest.
I started to get interested again during Marc's rescue mission, where it was shown how Sasaki could solve big problems on his own without Pi-chan's help. However, again and again even at the end of this anime I was disappointed with the story in the first world which was boring to watch.
Yes maybe this is just my selfishness, I'm just telling my impression of watching this series without knowing w…

Eehhh? Why is the rating so low? I feel compelled to make a review..
I appreciate anime like this where the MC is calm, collected, and mature.
There is a certain charm to it. I don’t need to be stressed about stupid actions, decisions, and words~ which escalates simple plot..
MC’s actions are witty, cunning but professional, and mature but at the same time not too overly complicated since the events/plot itself is not too convoluted. The MC’s typical sales person character is quite appealing to me as well since 1. It’s realistic 2. its a breath of fresh air from the usual bullish type MCs.
One of the comedy aspects of the anime dwells around mahou shoujos… well… weird but it’s not overly dwelled on so it doesn’t bother me that much.
Anime’s title is Sasaki and Pii-chan, so it’s mainly a…

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 coup…

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 premise is squandered.

Score 7 - This score is based on my enjoyment and not reflective of an 'objective' evaluation.
I actually really quite like the show and if there's something I enjoy about the in-his-40's something protagonist Sasaki, it's that he behaves not just like an adult, but he goes so much out of his way to be a sneaky drone in the most cordial way possible that you'll feel like pulling your hair out at how insipid and mild mannered he comes off, when in reality he's just a calm person who thinks things through and makes measured decisions.
On that note, while things do pan out for him when he does something, he doesn't come off as some sort of genius, he just does his best.
Meaning... Sasaki's just a good dude that you enjoy getting ahead in life for once. Good on you Sasaki, now what's that th…

To put it simply, you could call that Anime an adult version of Isekai de Cheat Skill wo Te ni Shita Ore wa, Genjitsu Sekai wo mo Musou Suru: Level Up wa Jinsei wo Kaeta, since it tries to mix different stories together. The main difference is that Sasaki is not only more matured but also smarter - which is realistic for an old guy with some more experience. However, that doesn't mean it's better.
basically we have like 3 different story plots which are mixed while also feeling more like just a slice of life show:
- Sasakis travel to another world thanks to his new "pet" Pii-chan
- Sasakis work for an organization which keeps an eye on (and also fight against) users of special powers to protect the people
- something about Magical Girls who hunt down those users of special powers
- ther i…

Sasaki to Pii-Chan is an anime which brings together isekai,fantasy,kind of reverse isekai and most absurd magical girl.
We have a main character Sasaki, a middle age man who works for a company and lives a boring daily life then he adopts a bird who later we learn that is a Wizard (kind of) from another world and he can take himself and Sasaki to that world whenever he wants and he discarded to sell things from our universe in the other one .This anime has two different stories one from the Sasaki’s world and the other is Peeps world.
The Sasaki’s world have fantasy,adventure,magical girl and humans who has magical power. This parts has more fights we see Sasaki in he’s work and how he try to keep he’s second life in secret. While the Peep’s world is more about politics and I guess busin…

Sasaki to Pii-chan is uniquely a mish-mash of isekai-reverse isekai, which involves magical power system + Men in Black plot + Medieval type politics + corporate negotiation elements all in one anime. It's frankly a double edge sword - it either intrigues you or confuses the hell out of the viewers. In my case, I actually kind of enjoyed this anime and this unique premise.
The supporting characters are kind of generic but developed just enough to keep the plot going without appearing too jarring - and the MC is an ex-corporate salaryman with a decent moral compass but without appearing dumb, naive or annoying - and has the intelligence to draw upon his experience or stop to think before making crucial decisions.
Animation-wise, it is not terrible but neither is it anything to be impresse…
