This is definitely one of those "watch one or two between real shows" type of anime.
I'd just finished watching the main Netflix series and noticed these 100 short episodes so watched them in blocks of about 20 at a time. That's definitely not the right way to do it because very soon it starts to get repetitive since every episode follows a simple pattern:
1. Generic everyday set up (Work lunch, waiting for a friend, trying to catch a train, etc.)
2. Someone annoys Retsuko (Being late, being rude, being loud, etc.)
3. Retsuko tries meekly to find a resolution (Asking politely to stop, offering to help, etc.)
4. The issue gets more annoying and Retsuko screams.
It's a fine enough little break between actual heavier shows but I don't think I ever laughed once. Quite a few of the situation…

Aggressive Retsuko was fun to watch! With every episode I watch, I feel more and more related to Retsuko. Her inner thoughts with her coworkers and even her bosses get me every time. The characters are a bit different from the Netflix series, especially Haida, he doesn't have a big crush on her but instead, he seems like a background character. Though it feels like only a few characters have a personality, making me like the Netflix series a little bit more but other than that I highly recommend you give this anime a chance!
It's a really fast watch with every episode being a minute long!

Despite the 100 very short episodes, the Aggretsuko shorts were able to keep things fresh and fun for longer than the TV series. Maybe it's because of the shorter runtime, but every different short felt unique and they were all super funny! They did everything they set out to do perfectly.
The voice acting, BGM, and animation aren't the best, but considering the type of series this is, it's not a big deal. The full-length Aggretsuko series improves on those fronts.
Overall, I'd recommend this series to anyone, especially fans of the Aggretsuko series. The shorts are only a minute long so anyone can fit it in to their schedule. :)

How fun would you think it is to watch 100 episodes (1 minute each) of a red fox talking about her adult life and singing death metal when angry?
-Story 10/10-
You didn't really have to pay attention to each episode or watch each episode in the specific order to understant the plot. Basically all you need to know is 'red fox with anger issues living her adult life and singing death metal when enraged'
-Art 10/10-
I like how they weren't half animals half humans but fully animals that could walk and talk, this leaves the viewer to wonder what each character would look like as a human. Overall pleasant characters to look at
-Sound 10/10-
Nothing much to say the VA were INCREDIBLE
-Characters 10/10-
It's really cool how you get to see the characters mainly from the main character's poi…

Sometimes, you need a feel-good, relatable, or funny anime to watch in between tasks or even to wind down between eps of a different show. Not particularly good for younger audiences, teens and children would probably not resonate with the situational humor, but YA's and older would probably like it! If you're not sure if you'd want to watch the Netflix series, start with this one to get a taste of the humor style first, and if you enjoyed this show I HIGHLY recommend the Netflix one too as it actually provides a good (but simple) plot! MAL is telling me to make my review longer, but honestly I don't know what else to say. Art's nice and cute and works, story is just little clips that slowly amass a understanding of the world and characters within it, the sound design is pretty nice and we…

WARNING: I'm gonna spoil this show (Aggressive Retsuko), I recommend you watch this anime before reading, for context and to be able to watch without spoilers.
I watched the first season of the ONA version of this, so I might have a few comparisons here and there.
I usually rate shows by how much they impact me emotionally, like I figure most people do, and on this one I gave it a favor by giving it a 3. Its emotinal impact almost doesn't exist, and you can't expect to get some feels or great laughs. why? let's think about it.
I'll start with the good stuff about this anime. The art and the music, despite being very simplistic, are both good. Most characters are represented well by their kind of animal, like Washimi being a peacock. Retsuko, the main chracter, is a well written charact…

2020 has been a… somewhat cathartic year, hasn’t it? In a dark, Carlin-esque-way, I’m kind of infatuated with it in many respects. The constant stacking of laissez faire capitalism, oozing with corruption of power from authoritative figures paired with rampant political correctness - exposing the true, repugnant husk of a selfish society masquerading as law-abiding citizens. It’s. Just. Ambrosia.
Speaking a tad more seriously, rather, with less malice in my tone - my greatest sympathies go to those effected in the worst of ways by these trying times, from looting, paranoia - etc. And I’m sure each and everyone of us are falling to some vice, indulging in some decadence to get us through such a benighted year. Some have alcohol. Some have drugs. Some have online gambling (which is basical…

When I first heard news about this anime coming out on Netflix I couldn't wait to watch it. The advertisement was catchy and I couldn't help but find it hilarious. When I finally got to watch it I grew attached immediately. I feel exactly how the main character does in her situation at work. I'm hard working so people like to push stuff onto me, and my work environment has been nothing but hell. I really enjoyed the ideal that I could relate to the main protagonist.
I would highly rate this anime as it is incredibly comical and just feeling the character's emotions and understanding her situation being similar to mine made me feel not so alone in my struggles. I really enjoyed especially watching this when I'd be at work on my lunch break because I could get a good laugh in and cool my he…

So since I felt like this show needed more reviews I'll put my heart into writing one!Spoiler-free!
Story: 9/10
It's a simple story about every day life for a women that has a hard job and a variety of co-workers.It can get very relatable at times,and make you laugh all the time.I often feel bad for Retsuko, and can't help but laugh at her anger issues through the series.The story though, seems like it has no end:That's not bad to be honest, quite entertaining and catchy!
Art: 8/10
The art is very cartoon-ish and cutesy,simple with nice colouring.I didn't pay much atention to it, but when you do its quite enjoyable.
Sound: 7/10
If it wasn't for the sound I doubt I would have enjoyed it as much.The best part is Retsukos metal screamo!
Character: 8/10
I really liked that instead of human…

I'm trying to recall the points I made 6 months ago. Note that many of the detailed story elements aren't too fresh to me given my vague memories of the show. I will, however, try the best I can to provide an unbiased critique, a personal account on how I view it.
I am ardently hyping for season 2. It is a pretty standard show that caught my attention due to the popularity of a few of its characters, especially Haida, who has since became quite a sensation in the furry fandom. Regardless of that fact, Aggretsuko doesn't exactly break boundaries. It's concept is interesting, but to be fair every show starts off with a concept or else it wouldn't have been greenlit, so it's not that big of an achievement in itself. In this case, an ostensibly submissive and meek anthropopmorphisized red pan…

Aggressive Retsuko manages to be very funny with just over 1 minute per episode.
Story (8/10): The story is very simple. It is about a red panda girl named Retsuko who has an office job. She deals with way too realistic and relatable
real world problems and when she can't take them anymore, she sings death metal and her reactions are priceless.
Art (8/10): The art is very good but nothing to die for.
Sound (8/10): The music while only being 2-3 songs, is fine considering the length of each and every episode.
Character (8/10): Retsuko is a great character and the side characters are good as well.
Enjoyment (9/10): I enjoyed Aggressive Retsuko very much. It was very funny and had a different vibe that I don't really get from any other Anime that I have watched.
Overall (8/10): A…

Aggretsuko is the working man's (or woman's) Hello Kitty. A too-real story about a young office worker who hates her job and co-workers and needs to find some way to cope. Aggretsuko's many tales of navigating office politics, dealing with the cold reality that conflicts with her imaginative and hopelessly romantic ideals in her mind, and finding happiness in her world of monotony and disrespect, allow for us the viewer to see the story of struggles that may or may not be too close to home for some of us poor unfortunate souls. The brilliance of Aggretsuko is in the relatability of the characters. Each character has a quircky aspect of their personality that is not overbearing to the point where they become one dimensional, and even those who appear to be one dimensional characters have mo…

to be honest, this is probably one of the most enjoyable animes I've ever watched
I (and basically everyone lmao) have never felt relatable to a character then Retsuko, Retsuko is literally me when someone says something i don't like,does something i dont like, act a way i dont want them to or do something that i don't like,
there are 100 episodes and all of them are 1 minute which means that you can get this anime done in 1 hour and 40 minutes
the story is simple: Retsuko deals with stressful situations and goes to karaoke to start singing death metal music to help with her stress,
all the characters are anthropomorphic animals, and all of thier designs are cute and match their personality very well
and the charaters do kinda feel like real people with how they act and all, Retsuko, of…

Aggresive Retsuko manages to be hilarious with just a single minute per episode.
The story is simple, Retsuko has to deal with way too relatable stressful situations during her everyday life, and when she can't handle what happens in that episode anymore, she goes crazy and starts singing death metal music, the way it's done makes the series really fun because you totally emphatize with the protagonist and her reactions are just priceless.
The character designs are simple but charming, the music is mostly 2-3 songs and that's all which is fine considering its duration, and there is always Retsuko giving some lyrics in her rage attacks anyways.
If you have some minutes available and you're looking for a quick laugh, give a try to Aggresive Retsuko, it's totally worth it.
