Retsuko is the metal singing panda hero we need right now because she gets it. This is an animated series which articulates how frustrating an overbearing or terrible boss can be (Retsuko’s boss is literally a pig, FYI), what it’s like to feel like you’re suffering from imposter syndrome, what it’s like to navigate anxiety or depression while trying to remain productive, or even what it feels like when you're trying to meet whatever dumb standards of successful adulthood look like and ultimately realizing every one of those standards are dumb, dumb, dumb. Yes, that is a very real sentence I just wrote and yes, it should immediately have you running to Netflix to binge both seasons (and a perfect Christmas special!). This fresh and fun anime series follows Retsuko, a shy and polite accountant who deals with the frustrations of working in an office with a terrible boss and ignorant co-workers by going to karaoke bars after working and singing death metal. Of all the cartoons to really offer some solidarity when exploring the trickiness and subtle frustrations of adulthood, I never expected to peg the anime series Aggretsuko as the one to nail it perfectly. Bowes Shingo Kato/Ben Diskin Rareko/Jamison BoazĪggretsuko is a great starter show if you’re new to the world of anime and a great option for changing things up if you’re an anime fan looking for something new to watch. Cast: Kaolip/Erica Mendez Komegumi Koiwasaki/Tara Platt Maki Tsuruta/G.K.
