Aggretsuko

Having lived in Japan for over nine years, I thought this was such a humorous (and accurate) take on the life of a Japanese OL. It reminded me a lot of people I've met in Japan, (except for maybe Ton-buchou and Tsubone-san). The personalized theme music for some of the characters is great. Favorite characters: Super-classy Washimi, extremely well-balanced Gori-buchou and all around nice guy Haita-san. And of course the cutest lesser-panda ever, Retsuko, is just adorable. Patiently awaiting season 2.

Every character brings something special to this series, and each and every one of them has several stand out moments. By the time you're done, you will have at least one character that you love and cherish as your own. Of course, nothing is stopping you from loving all of them.

Cute and hilarious anime making fun of cliché everyday work and social situations... super witty & funny - love it! :))

I'm a sociopath, but this show made me smile. Even if you've never worked a terrible office job, the juxtaposition of the art style versus death metal and the wonderful characters should be more than enough to enthrall you in this true-to-life animation. I cried out in anguish when I realized I finished the first season.

For some time I avoided this. I am not a big fan of cuteness-overload and animals depicting humans. However, this show has taken my heart in one episode. It is funny and cute, yes, but what makes it so relatable, are the characters and situations that are all too real (at least, if one has experience with (japanese) worklife). This anime feels like a mirror for japanese society and quite a bit to some issues in the western countries, too. And the characters are neither black nor white - they have all their flaws and charms, yes, even this pig of a boss. I ended up watching the whole thing in one day and was sad arriving at the last episode.

It is clear: Regardless of culture, upbringing or gender - We all are a little bit Aggretsuko.
