Man, tracking down that 'Cherry Peck' episode was like hunting for buried treasure! I scoured all the usual platforms—Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll—but no luck. Then I stumbled upon a niche anime forum where fans were buzzing about it being part of a limited-time anthology on a smaller streaming service called RetroCrush. It’s free with ads, which is a fair trade for hidden gems like this. The animation style is this gorgeous mix of retro and modern, and the storyline totally hooked me—quirky, heartfelt, and just the right amount of absurd.
If you’re into indie animation, I’d also recommend checking out 'The Midnight Gospel' on Netflix or 'Yuri!!! on Ice' for that same vibe of unexpected depth wrapped in colorful visuals. RetroCrush has a bunch of underrated titles, so it’s worth browsing their catalog while you’re there. I ended up watching 'Cherry Peck' twice—once for the plot, and once just to soak in the art.
