Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 12 "Real Life, Fantasy, and the Fourth World" ends the season with a bookend, bringing the circle to a close with a scene not unlike the scenes in the first episode. Even the title lampshades it. Then suddenly, it pulls the rug out from under us, and gives us a lovely sequel
Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 10 "Value and Dignity" gives us the most political thriller episode of this anime to date. What else do you call it when basically the entire episode consists of tense negotiations? Negotiations that Sasaki both expects...and not. Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 10 "Value and Dignity":
Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 9 "Executions and Negotiations" gives us a political thriller and economics thriller all in a single episode. We even get some isekai hijinks in the bargain. All in all, this is a perfect episode in terms of story, and certainly not one you would expect from a comedy isekai

Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 6 "Interview and Wine and Dine" an introduction to two things Sasaki probably never thought he would ever see. The first thing is promotion, and a very rapid promotion on top of that. The second is the local black market, with the introduction coming from the last person he
Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 5 "A Magical Man and a Third World" starts off with a relatively straightforward plotline. That plotline quickly devolves into what I can only describe as a Standoff of magical proportions. Wow, Sasaki's job just keeps getting harder and harder. Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 5 "A
Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 4 "The Prince and the Sage" is quite the heartwarming episode after the melancholy of the previous one. I would best describe this latest episode as the breaking dawn after the long night. After you watch this episode, I think that might be your opinion as well. Especially when
For better or for worse, the Cold War action-comedy lives! 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein have meshed the longstanding Odd Couple road trip with Iron Curtain hijinks and modern action sensibilities for a surprisingly solid but conceptually
Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia gives us a true puppetmistress in the form of Boraqchin in Ep. 11 "An Ungraceful Stone". This episode has shown her to be a master planner and manipulator, making her quite the political genius. However, this episode also reveals that the people she's puppeting don't
Have you ever considered the similarities between the landmark 1978 slasher Halloween and 1982’s First Blood? In both films, a man of few words arrives in a small town that treats him like the bogeyman, and when circumstances escalate to the point of murder, a specialist who’s highly familiar
