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. 8 "Suspicions and Sightseeing" continues the amazing story from the previous episode. It's always amazing when any isekai story explores back and forth travel between the worlds. All because it allows for some of the best of crossover stories to happen. In this case: via Elsa

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
Remaking Faces of Death is a hell of a move in 2026. Although, this movie doesn't really remake that diabolical film from 1978, it instead takes inspiration from it and it even exists in the universe that this film takes place in. So getting that out of the way so that the horror "diehards" who
The trailer for A24's The Drama does a great job of keeping things intentionally vague. We meet Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya), a couple about to get married who seem like they know everything about each other… until they very clearly don’t. One drunken night at dinner with
When Margaret Atwood returned to Gilead almost 35 years later, with her book The Testaments, the sequel to her seminal The Handmaid’s Tale, they said she could never match its genius. The story more than matched her 1985 dystopian classic, winning the 2019 Booker Prize, feeling horrifically timely
