Yes I did watch aggretsuko

[monoex]

just finished this new season of Aggretsuko!! i love Shikabane <3

but seriously if you haven't watched this season, GO WATCH IT!!! this show does NOT have a bad season, or even a bad episode. i really like the angle they took with this season, especially the respectful & educated portrayal of homelessness. i'm not sure, but i wonder if Shikabane's character/style is meant to reference Harajuku culture?

also yaaay more retsuko x haida time. THANK YOU

[mazojo]

I’ve never felt more underwhelmed than while watching the last episode of Aggretsuko season 5

New Dethklok song feat. Aggretsuko when

Aggretsuko is the only furry media I can remember that explains why everyone's parents and side couples are all the same species but the main couples aren't and it's not a big deal, and amazingly they picked the ONLY wrong answer.

Wait did I miss something? Did I not notice another kidnapping?

aggretsuko s5 was the best and the worst at the same time, and here's why.

so, the last season of aggretsuko is here, huh. it's one of my favorite shows ever and i just really want to discuss all that happened in s5 with someone. it's totally okay if you disagree with some of the stuff below, i'd love to hear your views and opinions!

so, obviously, it wasn't perfect. it was fun, but it had some issues. luckily it was better than s4 and had some really good moments, but the 2nd half of the season was a big misunderstanding. i decided to make a list out of all the stuff that bothers me:

retsuko literally got forced into politics. saying she's a people pleaser is not enough to justify it. i'm not saying "you can't do politics in aggretsuko", i'm saying that it would be better if she went "maybe i can make lives of regular office workers like me better?". and what was the politics arc for, anyway? there was no point but if you have to do it then just don't force her into that? give her a reason that would make her go "maybe it's not that bad of an idea".

why were retsuko and haida always going to a grocery store that was far away? plot hole! you see, after the stalker incident in s3 retsuko moved and i remember haida literally saying something along the lines of "the shop below keeps it safe and light at night". in additon, the building retsy lives in was shown several times and there really is a shop below her house.

remember when retsuko dreamed of being a lil blushy bride with a big smile in a beautiful dress all the way back in season 1? it was important for her, it was her dream. and in the end, haida and retsy just went with the civil marriage thing and? why?? honestly, why...

one of the biggest issues is obviously the fact that we didn't get enough about retsuko's and haida's relationship. since when were they even together?? i might've missed this part, but my point still stands - we really didn't enough about them. 5 seasons of waiting and this is what we get?? i just didn't get the feeling that haida and retsuko are actually happy and in love with each other, so them getting married so suddenly was a big suprise to me. and it's not like there weren't any opportunities for them to show affection to one another! i'm not saying they should act lovey dovey all of the time, but take for example retsuko's visit in haida's house. when they went out for a walk to the garden, he could say something like "i know it's hard, but deal with them just for today, okay?" or "sorry that i'm making you go through this. you really shouldn't have went here with me." stuff like that is what would make it feel a bit more like a real relationship and this exactly what their relationship lacks.

in the end we didn't get a single bit of info abt whether haida have found a job or not. he was supossed to get into IT and? after visiting retsuko's parents it was never mentioned again?? did netflix really just forget about it?

this isn't really an issue, but i still wonder who have hit haida with that truck. his brother said that he didn't do it but how did he even know that happened? not like haida would've told him about that considering their relationship... is, yknow.

and now, to the good stuff!! i have to admit, the 1st half of s5 was good, great even. those honestly were the best aggretsuko eps after the stalker incident in s3.

SHIKABANE ABSJSJSJ (no explanation needed) <33

haida deserved that. bro was being miserable and i loved every second of it. now he knows how tough life can be!! and that's a good thing.

as always, tadano never fails to make the show better, no matter what season is it. the thing where he bought the whole internet cafe? hilarious.

i'm bad at explaining why a show is good i was born to be toxic so that's about it haha. would love to hear others' opinions! <33

So about Aggretsuko

so tomorrow is the final season of Aggretsuko, once i finish it I will share my thoughts on it too but I am hoping we get an amazing ending for our girl

I manage to binge season all four seasons, including the Christmas special 

and I got to say, despite my feelings about the ending of season 3 and 4....

I still love this series

(yes season 4 is mild to bad, I will talk about that too)

The series still hits right when it comes to charm, talking about the economic problems of today, (they boomers are daydreaming about the Bubble economy again)  showing strong complicated and various adult women who all live different lives, be it a single strong career women or a wife with kids. My friends joke that in some ways I’m a lot like Retsy, (I try to please people and yes sometimes I do buy a product because I feel bad about going to a store and leaving without buying anything, I stress easy and do cry at times,) I think Retsy is a much stronger person then me trough and unlike her, I don’t desire a husband.) but still Retsy is easily my favorite character.

Season 2 is the highlight (so far of the series) I think it’s everyone’s favorite for a reason and while I know he’s popular with the fandom I do have to say with the new development of ai voices and ai art there are some things that just doesn’t sit right with me with Tadano 

(Don’t get me wrong, I do like him!) Tadano wants to change the world by making most jobs obsolete with the workings of A, so that everyone can focus on something else they want to do, a passion or their dream, something creative. That’s great and all, but not everyone can make a living of that, ( see Manaka ) And even Retsuko points out at that moment: She’s fine with her office job, there are a lot of people who don’t really have any creative ambitions. And there’s nothing wrong with that. in fact, not everyone wants to turn their hobby into their day job either. Tadano’s dream and AI program will screw these people over. Tadano hopes that everyone can have a form of basic universal income, but that’s just not realistic, and I wish other characters pointed this out. 

That being said seeing Retsuko and Tadano’s relationship develop was a lot of fun to see, they have chemistry, and it sucks that it didn’t work out between them. But I like it because it wouldn’t be fair to either Tadano or Retsuko to give up a part of themselves just to please the other. That would have made have ended up in a bitter divorce or break-up. Tadano doesn’t believe in marriage and doesn’t want kids. He wants Retsuko to just stay with him, leave her job and do whatever she wants. Retsuko doesn’t want to quit her job, and she wants to be a blushing bride and have children one day. Yeah these two were not going to work.

The other highlight of season 2 is we get to see more of  Washimi and Gori, I love these two a lot, They are best friends and become Retsuko’s best friends through the series, we find out Washimi used to be married and got divorced just a few months later, she has no desire anymore to be a married woman, she’s happy with her life as it is and warns other women that marriage is not going to fix your life or all your problems. Then there is Gori, another 40-year old career woman who is looking for a husband: She regrets focusing too much on her career and less on finding a partner in her younger years. That said the series does not imply, that’s the only way for a woman to become happy and that Gori is an example of the fate of all regretful single women (just fyi studies suggest otherwise) Gori mentions that right now, she’s perfectly happy because of her career and her friends, she just hopes she will remain happy 20 years from now.

Season 3, Retsuko becomes part of an underground idol, she almost quits her office job because she CAN make a living of her singing career. It got ruined because a stalker makes an attempt to stab her. Japan has a deep issue with the way they handle stalkers, so this is sadly realistic for a lot of women living in Japan. She’s saved by Haida, but develops a form of ptds and hides away in her mother’s house. Sadly, no character suggests a form of therapy and Haida calls her a coward in a way to encourage her to go back to work. This rubs people of the wrong way, and it’s one of the reasons why people dislike the ending of season 3. Japan sadly has a stigma against therapy but I wish this more modern show that is willing to criticize some of Japanese traditional culture norms would have been open with this too, but alas.

Speaking of Haida, I have very mixed feelings about the character, I do like him I was rooting for him up till season 3 and 4.  Him suggesting Retsuko is not that weak when Gori and Washimi tell him that Retsuko needs more time to heal from the attack made me uncomfortable. Just to remind everyone, you are not WEAK because you want to heal from a traumatic experience: remind yourself that. Haida is in love with Retsuko but doesn’t know her very well neither does Retsy know Haida, and by season 4 when they are in fact dating, both Haida and Retsuko keep secrets from one another. To me, it feels like Haida loves the idea of Restuko more then Retsuko.  AND IN SEASON 4 HAIDA COMMITS BLUE COLLAR CRIMES LMAO Restuko is not a forward kind of woman and she’s not insertive.Haida often lacks the courage to take more steps with Restuko because he doesn’t believe in himself. Their own character traits are holding them back in this relationship, making me believe this won’t work out. I hope season 5 being a conclusion of the series will show us the development of their romance or the break-up of these two.

One’s thing that is frustrating about Aggretsuko is that each season sets itself back and everything goes back to the statues quo, but I’m happy to see Haida indeed quit his job by the end of season 4. Good going show! That beind said season 4 just felt messy, Haida’s arc felt frustrating but the season despite its flaws also had some key high lights

The episode where the characters are defending and helping Kabae trying to mix her work with her role as a mother is beautiful, Himeru was an excellent villain, can’t help but love this corrupt fellow. Ton despite being very problematic, a relic of the traditional ‘‘women belong in the kitchen’‘ jerks, shows a lot of his moral greyness this season. It doesn’t justify his abusive actions towards Restuko but, he obvious loves his family, refuses to fire anyone of his staff, even refusing to fire Retsuko under the pressure of Himeru and through the seasons he’s the one who gave out important lessons to Retsuko that ended up saving her: He knows when she’s suffering, or forcing herself to be something she’s not for her then-current boyfriend. (  Resasuke and Tadano) Retsuko ends up helping him in this season and despite some problems here and there, I believe they have a healthier work relationship now. (unless season 5 fucks this up)

anyway I am still hyped for the final season and I hope we see a happy ending to our angry panda.

or if you can’t Netflix maybe give us a movie to conclude everyone’s arc? maybe? ;-;

[we-dont-talk-about-potato-nonono]

3 platonic dynamics you like :3

(based on this fandom ask game)

sure!!

1. Brett and Reagan from Inside Job

I love their dynamic! I’m an absolute sucker for the happy go lucky (but secretly has issues) person friends with the snarky grump (who obviously has a sweet side) person. they both work together wonderfully, and trust each other completely even with different personalities. platonic or romantic, either way works for me! so long as there was some proper buildup. they’re great as friends, and it’s always nice to see supportive besties onscreen.

2. Washimi, Gori and Retsuko from Aggretsuko

I will die for this trio friendship!! Washimi and Gori treated Retsy like an equal and provided differing perspectives for her problems.

they also genuinely worry and care about her (making sure she's okay after learning about Tadano, speaking to the president about Ton, ect.) I'd personally like to have people like that in my life!

someone said that they represent two facets of Retsuko, Gori is over-excitability and passion, while Washimi is serenity and seriousness which is pretty cool!

3. Wander and Slyvia from Wander over Yonder

I love the friendship between Wander and Sylvia, they can share funny and nice moments when they help other, but they support mutually and resolve problems together just ✨✨✨ really good team!

finished aggretsuko season 5

tbh? it doesn't really give me the itch like a last season should

but maybe it's just because the previous season wasn't all that good and Retsys + Haida relationship was so mediocre in the 4th season they had to pour in all the work and effort in the 5th

[mazojo]

Do NOT let me down

[nyoomiie]

haida telling tadano to arm wrestle him and tadano going “oh you were serious?” LIKE YEAH?? do you think he was looking for an excuse to hold your hand?? IS THAT IT???

[theghostiedyke]

I am screaming at Inui calling Haida out! And the line about the change of jacket (though to be fair Retsuko didn't have to Lie about what she's doing but she is Very much the kind of person to not confide in someone if she feels like she was being rejected (i.e. Haida telling her the Ton situation wasn't her fault. Like. He was Right, it's Himuro's fault and Ton's, but she is allowed to have complicated feelings as she was in a way taken advantage of)

Excuse the long aside i just like to have nuance in judging this complex characters

and also at the call back to Kabae being a corporate spy (Icon. Queen. absolute legend) jfjsjsjs recon rodeo 😭. "Break into his office they said. It'll be fun" this line is taking me Out.

The spy antics!!

Love the confirmation that Haida does in fact have Tadano's number. Haida fully thinks Retusko is? Cheating? Idk if they were ever Official.

Tadano: Oh, babe buddy you have the wrong target.

THE KARAOKE ROOM OMG.

We have the im sick of ppl look down on me line!! Kdksjsjsj "gonna scream until i behave huh?" Dksksjsjsjeghdi

Yes! Slap him Queen!

Oooh i am Such a Sucker for the "I DID THIS ALL FOR YOU!" "I never asked you to!" conflict

Oh! Haida standing up to Himuro 👀. Himuro really is an asshole :/ I knew it but was hoping for....

Love the call back to Tadano's line about picking the fight with the wrong person especially. With. The parallels 👀

Oh.... the bad rapping.... oh no :o this feels like anime fight scene this Cracking me up. Death Voice Retsuko kfkdjsksks "I didn't think you were gonna kill him!"

Kgkficididudhvthe look of Himuro's face as Haida fell on him tho.

His old coat!! Omg not the two of them looking up happily at Tadano lmao

Omg this season was so good

[quiione]

Okay I'm crying now 😥
