Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 Drops Creditless Opening and Ending Themes: Fans React to Catchy MADKID and Non-Fiction Tracks

I’ll admit it: I didn’t plan to write about opening sequences this week. Then the creditless versions of the Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 OP and ED dropped, and I lost an entire evening to them. One more loop, then one more, then I was pausing frames to check who was hiding in the background.

If you’ve followed this series since the first season, you know the premise sounds like a fever dream. A tired 39-year-old office worker. A powerful mage reincarnated as a pet shop sparrow. Government psychics, magical girls, and nobles from other dimensions, all crammed into one show that somehow works. A show that unhinged needs an opening and ending that match, and Season 2 delivered.

First, the Basics (Because Someone Will Ask)

Sasaki and Peeps (Sasaki to Pii-chan) Season 2 premiered on October 7, 2026, with a special one-hour episode as part of the Fall 2026 lineup. SILVER LINK. is back on animation duty. The source is the light novel by Buncololi with illustrations by Kantoku, which started on web novel platforms like Kakuyomu and Shosetsuka ni Naro before MF Bunko J picked it up in print.

Creditless versions matter more than people give them credit for (pun intended). Without rolling text, you can actually see the compositions, the lighting, and the little acting beats the animators tucked into the corners.

The Opening: ‘Unbroken’ by MADKID

MADKID doesn’t do quiet. If you’ve heard their work on other anime, you know the formula: rap-heavy verses that hit like a shoulder check, then a chorus that lifts the whole thing off the ground. It fits Sasaki and Peeps almost too well, because this is a series that refuses to pick a genre and stay there.

The single, titled ‘Unbroken / Bomb Ba La Man,’ comes out commercially on October 14, 2026. I’m already planning to stream it on repeat during my commute.

What I love about the visuals is how they handle scale. Most isekai openings give you one fantasy world and a few dramatic poses. This one jumps from a gray, fluorescent-lit Japanese office straight into aerial dogfights, and the cuts keep going: psychics, magical girls, interdimensional nobles, all sharing the same few minutes. The pacing feels like it’s daring you to keep up.

Here’s the thing that surprised me, though. The opening isn’t just flashy. Fans on Reddit and YouTube have been pointing out that it telegraphs where the story is heading: corporate politics colliding with proper magical warfare. Whether that’s intentional foreshadowing or just us reading tea leaves, it makes frame-by-frame viewing a lot of fun. The textless version is practically a puzzle box.

A lot of people are also comparing it to Season 1’s ‘FLY.’ My honest take: it’s a different flavor, but the energy is absolutely there. MADKID clearly understood the assignment.

The Ending: ‘Tsukibi no Okage!’ by Non-Fiction

Now for the curveball. After that sprint of an opening, the ending slows everything down. The song is ‘Tsukibi no Okage!’ by the idol group Non-Fiction, which some corners of the internet affectionately call ‘Sukipi no Okage!’ (the fandom loves a nickname).

Where the OP is chaos, the ED is domestic. It’s about Sasaki and Peeps, the odd couple at the heart of everything. We see a middle-aged salaryman and a tiny bird that happens to be a world-class mage, sharing the sort of quiet routines that make you forget one of them could probably level a city. There’s comedy in it, but also a thread of weariness: this is a man juggling a normal job, cross-world dealings, and survival, and the ending lets you feel the weight of that.

The soft palettes and warm lighting are a big part of the appeal. SILVER LINK. gave it a cozy but slightly mysterious glow, like the end of a long day when you’re not entirely sure what tomorrow holds. The creditless cut is the best way to appreciate it, since the lighting work is easy to miss when text is crawling across it.

It also shows off the ensemble. Otonari-san and Hoshizaki are there, along with newcomers Eriel and Himegami-kun, which tells me the cast is only going to get busier from here.

Who’s Behind the Camera

There have been a few changes behind the scenes this time around. Here’s the quick rundown:

Yushi Ibe stepping into the director’s chair was the change I was most nervous about. A new director can shift a show’s rhythm, and Sasaki and Peeps relies heavily on timing, both comedic and action-wise. From what the creditless OP shows, the action choreography flows well, and fans seem reassured that quality is holding at the level of the 2024 first season, maybe even higher.

What Fans Are Saying

I spent way too much time reading threads, so you don’t have to. These are the points that keep coming up:

1. The genre mashup is the point. Viewers say the opening captures exactly why this show stands out. Office comedy, slice-of-life, magical girl parody, spy intrigue, and high-fantasy politics all coexist without apology.
2. The director change feels smooth. Nobody seems to be complaining about the handoff, and the fluid action in the OP is a big reason why.
3. The cast is stacked. Tomokazu Sugita returns as Sasaki and Aoi Yuki as Peeps. Newer and returning faces include Mutsumi Tamura as Abaddon, Yu Sasahara as Eriel, and Tasuku Hatanaka as Himegami-kun. With a script this satirical, strong voice work is what keeps the jokes landing.

Where to Watch

The season runs for 12 episodes this fall. Crunchyroll is streaming it internationally, with new episodes every Wednesday, available with English subtitles and an English dub from day one. The one-hour premiere gave the staff room to remind everyone how tangled the political and magical landscape is, which means the weekly half-hour episodes can move faster.

If you’re new, don’t panic about the worldbuilding. The show is better at explaining itself than it looks, and the comedy does a lot of the heavy lifting.

My Verdict on the Themes

Pairing a loud, rap-driven opening with a gentle, character-focused ending was a smart call, because it mirrors what the show does best: it swings between absurd spectacle and small human moments, sometimes within the same scene. MADKID gives you the adrenaline. Non-Fiction gives you the exhale.

I’m usually a skip-the-intro person by episode four. For this season, I suspect I won’t be. And if you want to catch every background detail before the story gets going, the creditless uploads on the official channels are worth a few minutes of your time.

Now if you’ll excuse me, ‘Unbroken’ is calling and I have a release date to circle on my calendar.
