    Eagerly awaiting a second season.

    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.

    Incredible

    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

    I have not seen such a mix of adorability and meaningfulness in my life before.

    I don't usually watch slice of life shows, but the premise of this show seems so quirky I wanted to watch it anyway. Slice of life shows just seem to be completely lacking of much interest to me because who wants to see more of the everyday anyway?

    Well, I'm glad to say that this show changed my mind. There's something about this show that makes the everyday fresh and exciting -- everyone has completely lovable personalites and quirks, and there's something humble about this show that's rare to see. We can all relate to the idea of being the average joe who just want to let things out more wildly in life -- like a red panda playing death metal to release stress.

    By the way, death metal 10/10. I didn't listen to metal before, but now I do. I'll pray everyday to Red Panda Metal Queen for her musical genius. I want to go buy a plushie of Retsuko and create a video of that plushie playing hardcore death metal. But unfortunately, I'm too lazy.

    Cuteness 100/10. My kokoro got hit 1000/10. Life is meaningless without Retsuko 10000/10.

    Funny and relatable anime

    It's amazing how an anime with cute looking characters managed to be so relatable with working and personal life in today's society. Kudos to the Brazilian dubbing that did a great job with the voice actors and jokes/dialogues adaptions to Portuguese.

    We all are Aggretsuko: Entertaining depiction of real worklife issues

    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.
