Aggretsuko

Aggretsuko is without a doubt one of the best adult animated shows on Netflix. I really enjoy the comedy, especially the death metal. And I'm really glad that this show got a second season. I give this one and 8.5/10

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.

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.

I binged watched this series on Netflix as I was hooked on the first episode. It's both funny and sad to see the daily challenges in Retsuko's life. Retsuko is both overworked and isolated and the series shows her transform into a more confident and content person. The ensemble cast both adds to the craziness of Retsuko's life but sometimes also provides her refuge. One of the central themes in this show is how everyone is not what they first appear to be. Most of the characters get moments in Season 1 that show them as more than just caricatures in Retsuko's life and I found this to be one of the most endearing aspects of this show. Besides just being a good show, it's also a wonderful show that depicts modern life through a young woman's perspective and the specific challenges related to women in the workplace. If a funny, endearing, sincere and wonderfully feminist show is something you're interested in then I can't recommend "Aggretsuko" highly enough!
