Aggretsuko (2018–2023)
10/10
A masterpiece
20 January 2023
Aggretsuko is the epitome of perfection. It's like the creators reached into my brain, pulled out my deepest desires, and transformed them into a 25-minute animated masterpiece. The character development, the humor, the music, the commentary on the struggles of working in a corporate environment - it's all spot on. Not to mention, the death metal karaoke scenes are a stroke of genius.

I've never related to a character more than I do with Retsuko. Her daily struggles of dealing with office politics and a demanding job while trying to maintain her sanity is something I think we can all relate to. And let's not forget the amazing supporting cast, from the lovable Fenneko to the insufferable Director Ton.

But what really sets Aggretsuko apart is its ability to be both hilarious and thought-provoking. It's not afraid to tackle heavy themes like sexism and mental health in the workplace, but it does it with a deft hand and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

In short, Aggretsuko is a triumph of animation and storytelling. It's a show that not only entertains, but also resonates with its audience on a deep level. I can't recommend it enough. 10/10, would rage-sing karaoke again.
