“I’m not normally one to go crazy over Sanrio characters, but from the moment the credits rolled on the first of Aggretsuko‘s ten 15-minute episodes, I knew I had found in Retsuko the ideal mascot for perpetually exhausted millennials like myself. Not only do I personally relate to the humor and pathos of this little Red Panda’s struggles, but when you look past Aggretsuko‘s charming animation and delightful characters, there is a sharp and socially conscious edge to its story that makes it a perfect watch for anyone who feels beat down by The System in some way, especially if you can also indulge in some death metal screams and blast beats in the process.”
