Want a small series without the fuss, with short episodes, and available in streaming, on an SVOD platform? On this Tuesday, February 21, 2023, we recommend the colorful and satirical universe of the Japanese animated series Aggretsuko, to see on Netflix. Season 5, still so cute and interesting, was just released a few days ago on the platform.
Series Aggretsuko on Netflix, an animated nugget to free you from office life
It’s only Tuesday and you can’t stand your co-workers anymore? That’s good, Retsuko has a solution for you: let off steam on death metal in a daily raging karaoke. Here is the improbable pitch of this Japanese animated series, a sort of The Office cute talking animals version.
In Aggretsukoyou are therefore going to meet an accountant red panda who cannot say no (Retsuko), a service manager pig who makes life difficult for his employees (Ton), a hyena in love (Haida), or even a gorilla with a style impeccable dress (Gori).
But this colorful cast of characters doesn’t just have aesthetics “kawaii”. Through them, Aggretsuko reveals the life of twenty-somethings in today’s Japan, between injunctions and freedom. With a depth similar to that of BoJack Horseman in its time, the small 15-minute episodes go by at breakneck speed while planting some seeds of reflection along the way. The imperatives of marriage, harassment at work, often toxic and sexist Japanese traditions… Everything happens in an animated ballet ideal for clearing your head on this Tuesday, February 21, 2023.
Whether Aggretsuko unfortunately sometimes goes around in circles in its narration, it remains a staple of the genre: funny and quirky, but also sometimes serious and touching. Want one more excuse to get started? Season 5 has finally been available on Netflix for a few days, so you have no more excuses.
