Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 premieres in Japan on Wednesday, October 7, 2026 with a one-hour first broadcast. The earliest confirmed television slot is AT-X at 10:00 p.m. JST, while Tokyo MX starts at 11:00 p.m. JST. The fastest announced Japanese streaming option is Prime Video at 10:30 p.m. JST on October 7.
Crunchyroll has the sequel in its Fall 2026 lineup for international viewers, but its exact subtitle upload time should be checked on the live seasonal page rather than inferred from the Japanese broadcast. The most important thing is to keep the television, Japanese streaming and international streaming clocks separate.
Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 release schedule in Japan
| Service / channel | Premiere | Time |
|---|---|---|
| AT-X | October 7 | 10:00–11:00 PM JST |
| Prime Video Japan | October 7 | 10:30 PM JST |
| Tokyo MX | October 7 | 11:00 PM–12:00 AM JST |
| BS NTV | October 8 | 11:00 PM–12:00 AM JST |
| Other Japanese streaming services | From October 12 | 10:30 PM JST |
The official anime site labels Episode 1 as a one-hour special. From Episode 2 onward, AT-X returns to a 30-minute Wednesday slot from 10:00 to 10:30 p.m., Tokyo MX runs Wednesdays from 11:00 to 11:30 p.m., and BS NTV runs Thursdays from 11:00 to 11:30 p.m.
What time is the first episode in the U.S. and Europe?
The earliest Japanese television broadcast, 10:00 p.m. JST, converts to 1:00 p.m. UTC. On October 7 that is 9:00 a.m. EDT, 6:00 a.m. PDT, 2:00 p.m. BST in the UK and 3:00 p.m. CEST in much of Central Europe.
The Prime Video Japan stream at 10:30 p.m. JST is thirty minutes later. Those conversions do not create a Crunchyroll release time. They only show when the confirmed Japanese broadcasts and domestic stream occur.
Where can you stream Sasaki and Peeps Season 2?
In Japan, the production committee says Prime Video has the terrestrial-ahead, exclusive fastest stream beginning October 7 at 10:30 p.m. JST. A wider group of Japanese streaming services begins carrying episodes from Monday, October 12 at 10:30 p.m.
Internationally, Crunchyroll has confirmed Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 for the Fall 2026 season. Territory availability can vary by account region, so the Crunchyroll show page is the correct final check for viewers outside Japan.
Is Episode 1 really one hour long?
The official schedule says the first broadcast is a one-hour special. That describes the television programming block. It does not necessarily mean there are exactly 60 minutes of animation after accounting for station breaks, bumpers and other broadcast formatting.
From Episode 2 onward, the official Japanese schedule moves into normal 30-minute television slots. So the premiere is intentionally longer than the regular weekly broadcast.
What is Sasaki and Peeps about?
The story begins with Sasaki, an exhausted office worker who buys a Java sparrow for companionship. The bird, Peeps, turns out to be a powerful sage from another world. Sasaki gains supernatural abilities and becomes involved in a collision of fantasy-world politics, modern supernatural incidents and increasingly complicated relationships.
Season 2 continues that unusual mix rather than resetting the premise. New viewers should watch Season 1 first because the sequel assumes familiarity with Sasaki, Peeps, Hoshizaki, Shizuka Futari, Elsa and the competing systems surrounding them.
What changes in Season 2?
The second season has Yushi Ibe directing at SILVER LINK., with Deko Akao on series composition and Saori Nakashiki involved in character design. The new main promotional video also introduced additional cast members and previewed the opening theme “Unbroken” by MADKID.
The ending theme is “Sukipi no Okage!” by Nonfic!. The production has also emphasized new supernatural players, widening the already crowded mix of psychics, otherworld travelers and magical factions.
How many episodes will Season 2 have?
An official final episode count should not be assumed from Season 1. The first season had 12 episodes, but that is not proof the sequel will have the same order. Until the official site, Blu-ray schedule or distributor publishes a definitive count, treat numbers circulating without a primary source as provisional.
Weekly release expectations
The Japanese television schedule clearly establishes a weekly Wednesday/Thursday pattern after the premiere. If there is no special delay, AT-X and Tokyo MX should continue on Wednesdays, while BS NTV follows on Thursdays. Streaming normally tracks the weekly cadence, but holiday or production changes can alter an individual week.
