Sasaki and Peeps is back, and the second season's premiere makes one thing clear: it has zero interest in playing the isekai formula straight. Studio Kadokawa's adaptation returned this summer with the salaryman-and-talking-bird duo neck-deep in fantasy-kingdom politics and modern corporate espionage at the same time. Here's where to watch it and whether it's worth a slot.
Quick answer
According to SenpaiRanks, Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 (Sasaki to Pii-chan) is the continuation of the offbeat isekai comedy about a middle-aged salaryman and his magical talking bird, streaming on Crunchyroll. SenpaiRanks tracks the franchise at an adjusted 6.50 on its Consensus board — a niche pick that rewards viewers who like their power fantasy tangled up with office politics.
The setup
The pitch is deliberately absurd: a tired office worker adopts a small bird that turns out to be a powerful magician from another world, and suddenly he's shuttling between fantasy-kingdom court intrigue, psychics, angels, demons and corporate espionage in modern Japan. Season 2 doesn't reset that — it doubles down. Per ANN's premiere review, the new episodes lean into political fallout from the characters' earlier moves rather than introducing new fantasy gimmicks.
Here's the show's trailer if you need a taste of the tone:
The reception read
ANN's review is positive, praising how the show "doubles down" on its improbable mix of modern and fantasy pieces moving around the board. That tracks with where it sits for us: SenpaiRanks holds Sasaki and Peeps at an adjusted 6.50 Consensus score — not a chart-topper, but a distinctive one. This is exactly the kind of divisive title our dual-axis ranking exists for. Rate it on its ranking page and see whether your take lands above or below the crowd, then compare it against the field on our best isekai of 2026 ranking and the wider best anime to watch in 2026 list.
Worth a slot?
If you want a clean power-fantasy climb, this isn't it. If you like the idea of a chess-game plot where the "cheat" is a bird giving corporate-espionage advice, it's one of the more original things airing. Season 2 is a continuation, so start with Season 1 first.
