ANN’s This Week in Anime about anime crossovers reminded me in a roundabout way of this spectacular weird oddity:
Peeping Life was an improvisational anime focusing on the “the listless minutiae of everyday life” which for one glorious season in Fall 2015 decided to do so using Tezuma and Tatsunoko characters, some of the most recognisable anime/manga characters of all time. Which led to sketches like Astro Boy going through puberty or Black Jack visiting a doctor because he has the flu. Fall 2015 was the first season I actually followed seasonal anime and this series was one of the ones I watched each week. A real surreal experience when you barely recognise one in three of the characters featured and are also completely new to the style of humour it uses. Gina Szanboti over at the ANN forums has episode recaps if you want to get the flavour of it.
Sadly, while Crunchyroll does have another season of Peeping Life, it doesn’t have this one.
