During Thanksgiving break, I watched a Netflix anime called "Aggretsuko." It is about a red panda named Retsuko who works in an accounting office every day. My first thought was that she is a very cute hardworking red panda that likes her job. There is more to this cute red panda and her job.
Every night, she goes to karaoke to relax from work. She walks to the karaoke room peacefully and gently. Once she comes in, she chooses a song she wants to sing and holds the microphone to her mouth. After that, I heard loud music that catches my attention and all of a sudden, the cute cat turned into a ferocious, monstrous cat that sings so loud! Her voice made me jump off my seat! What I saw on the television was not just true karaoke, but also the red panda's true fury! At daytime, she is Retsuko. At nighttime, she is Aggretsuko. The first five letters in Aggretsuko are the first letters in the word aggressive.
Retsuko does not like her job at the accounting office. In her perspective, working in the accounting office is exhausting and tormenting. The worse part about it is her mean boss, Tonton, a pig who always unleashes his fury at her. Retsuko looks weak as she faces her boss, but in the inside, she is a ferocious cat that wants to pay him back. If only she can find a way to quit her job! Luckily, she also has friends at the company that support and understand her.
After watching the anime, I asked my eldest sister if working in the accounting office is really that bad. She told me it is not that bad like the anime. The anime only exaggerated it for entertainment. I am glad to hear that there will be a season two of this anime next year, so that I can see more of Retsuko's life and fury. This anime is very cute, funny, interesting and suitable for those who dislike their job in the accounting office.
