When I found "Aggretsuko" on Netflix I had never even heard about it before. I read the synopsis and decided to watch it, as I had nothing else more pressing to watch at the time.
Right, well, I will say that "Aggretsuko" is definitely an alternative anime in comparison to the countless other animes that come from Japan like an animated tsunami. So was that good or bad? Well, for me at least, it was good, because it stood out and was unique.
The series starts out quite nice, and I must admit that I was very entertained by it, especially when Retsuko started singing. That was just hilarious and it had me laughing every single time it happened.
However, the joy for "Aggretsuko" was short lived, because the air started seeping out of the show towards the last third of the first season. Whereas it was previously about all of Retsuko's aggression and her way of expressing this aggression, it turned into a sugar-coated love story. And that was just too much of a sudden change, and that had me getting off at the next stop, with little or no desire to get back on the ride and find out what happened to Retsuko.
"Aggretsuko" started out wonderfully, but then it peaked all too soon and went fast down a steep hill, from which it seemed to do not recover.
