Retsuko is a 25-year-old red panda who is growing increasingly frustrated with her job in the accounting department of a trading company in Tokyo as she enters her fifth year working at the firm. All she wants to do is get her job done and make it through the day. But her frustrations often reach a boiling point -- whether it's because of pushy superiors or annoying co-workers -- and when they do she gets her emotions out the only way she knows how -- by going to a karaoke bar and venting through death metal music.

The story is fun, but its digression into grim territory keeps it from hitting as close to home as its predecessors. Go to Full Review

Aggretsuko Season 3 does not fall ill to Netflix's third-season syndrome and it keeps up the solid momentum with more energetic but heartwarming chapters. Go to Full Review

Johnathon W @Hoppynsc 09/02/2023 Another fantastic season that sees Retsuko, threw some crazy twists, getting involved in a pop idol band outside of work. The vocal cast remains excellent while the show runners have fun expanding the show's world, bringing Retsuko's death metal singing to the fore front. Still one of the best romantic comedy anime's to watch. See more Blue Moon T 01/04/2023 Not as rewatchable as the first two seasons. The satire components related to Retsuko's new journey didn't feel as poignant as past seasons and the way they tied up Retsuko's arc felt rushed. Haida and Retsuko are being squashed together and the only redemption is how the season ends with them. See more 10/22/2021 Right from episode 1, I had the same feels going on in my own life. I was a little skeptical with the direction they were going in with this season. But it definitely turned out to be a creative and meaning season in Retsuko's journey. See more 10/20/2021 More adventures, mistakes and self discovery. See more 02/17/2021 Aggretsuko's Season 3 is a spectacular rollercoaster of a ride where so many emotions take place and build up for its powerful climax. Definitely a very shaking and impactful season for me and this time around, the ending feels somewhat complete and not as abrupt as season 2's ending. The re-introduction of Tadano and other past characters was great and I loved seeing them connecting with other side/main characters of the show in scenes that us as an audience have never seen before. This season, although definitely one that has lost its relatability compared to its past seasons, it feels more dramatic and real in itself. Without spoiling, I've definitely felt chills throughout the season every time the stalker appears. The soundtrack itself is also wonderful (something I forgot to mention in the past reviews). The atmosphere it brings to the appropriate scene really harmonizes with it and complements it well. Whether it be the calming piano notes or the hyped song "Aggressive Girl" from the new underground band, the soundtrack really sets the mood for each scene and helps immerse the viewer in it as well (I recommend wearing headphones if you can). Personally, I felt moved by the emotional scenes this season had, the conflict between Haida's love triangle and whether he should keep pursuing Retsuko's love or settle with Inui makes it for another smaller climax at the end where one really feels sorry for the girl he didn't choose. Overall, another wonderful season by Sanrio and I'll keep looking forward to what he brings to us in Season 4! See more 10/09/2020 Bittersweet ending that leaves it in a very high note. Best season so far. I like other chars getting more spotlight and the prota breaking out of her shell is a delight to watch. See more Read all reviews
