Sasaki and Peeps Is Your New Favorite Anime Smorgasbord!

Every so often, a new anime season will start and I’ll find one series, in particular, to latch onto like a vice. This season, that series is Sasaki and Peeps. In only a couple of episodes, this series has shown me edge-of-your-seat action and rapidly developing plots and has dipped its toes into so many genres that it’s hard to even know what to classify this series as. The point is that Sasaki and Peeps has something to please everyone!
First released in Japan in 2018 as a light novel, Sasaki and Peeps currently has eight volumes out in Japan (five of which have been translated into English by Yen Press). The anime adaptation, with animation produced by Silver Link, was first announced in 2022.
In the first episode, the audience meets a typical office worker named Sasaki, who buys a bird for companionship. What Sasaki doesn’t realize until after he gets home is that his bird is actually a reincarnated magic user and Sasaki is now the main character in an isekai. This is the start of his new series of adventures as he travels between modern-day Japan and the fantasy world his bird, Peeps, is from.
Sasaki learns to travel from one world to another and use basic magic. This comes in handy one night as he comes across a young woman being attacked. Saving her, this young woman mistakes him for someone with psychic powers and ropes him into joining a government agency
Within the first couple of episodes, Sasaki and Peeps has proven to be a tour de force of genre-mashing. This series is primarily an isekai, with Sasaki constantly traveling from one world to another. However, to call this series “just an isekai” would be doing it a great disservice. Though it’s still early in its run, Sasaki and Peeps has shown that it’s willing to throw out the rule book and create a new game altogether.
What makes the isekai aspect so interesting is the foreshadowing. Sasaki is already playing with fire in his travels to the other world, with Peeps having him sell modern goods in a fantasy setting. The noble who rules over the land plans to use the goods to gain a military advantage over neighboring areas. Will Sasaki get pulled into a war that he created?
Though there are only a couple of episodes out as of this writing, Sasaki and Peeps has already shown its willingness to cross boundaries. In the second episode, a group of rogue psychics are causing problems, which means Sasaki and his new partner, Hoshizaki, must help bring them to justice. What follows is a literal whirlwind of psychics doing battle against each other that ends with a curious stalemate.
If all that isn’t enough convincing to get you to check this one out, there’s still more. At the close of episode two, yet another new wrinkle is introduced that

Tomb Raider detail quietly shows developer unifying classic and reboot timelines
UPDATE 4.45pm UK: Consider me educated. I have looked into this further, and it turns out not only is Trinity the name of the military order in the rebooted Tomb Raider games, but it is also the code name for the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, which was conducted by the United States Army back in 1945. And that could be what the Tomb Raider website is referring to. Whoops!
