A bit banal and uneventful; I hope the second series is more like the well-constructed first series than this.

It was a lighthearted special episode, I think that it did really well for that and still exhibited the direction and themes that made the first season so kicked.

I love Aggretsuko so much oh my god. Even though Retsuko rejected Haida, the ending implied there was still a chance. I also love how they showed everyone enjoying Christmas, even Retsuko's ex.

Though this episode wasn’t as long or as hype as I expected it’s a good connector for the first and second season. Haida has a chance though and honestly I like a relationship that matures then peaks early so I’m really excited for them and Retsuko to be comfortable with herself. The small peaks of the side cast and funny jabs of the social media repulsion were good as well.

Good to know she rejected Haira in the ending of the previous series, only good part. The music was also decent i guess.

The more it goes the horrible Retsuko personality gets. Next season Retsuko will also start to post on random series/animes forums/chats looking for attention, pathetic. I miss the 3 minutes ovas.

I adored this episode, personally. I think it struck a good balance between being a fun special and having a meaningful moment for its characters that bridges a gap between seasons. I can't WAIT for season 2!

Why do you need the approval of others? That is sad.

Didn't like this Retsuko pretty much but I know she is going to learn and hope she will fall in love with Haida in the second season <3
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

Since noone is going to comment on it:
i really feel bad for poor, cute Tsunoda (the bitchy coworker who for some reason does not have to wear her uniform ;D)
Her Christmas date is boring and at the same time self-obsessed as fuck, I hope she did not put out for him!

Haida lost to the most boring person imaginable then he got rejected by Retsuko for asking her out right after she went through a break-up, ouch. At least all the adorable dork has to do now is to continue being a good friend and coworker until she's ready to love again~

Retsuko wanted those social media brownie points so she's willing to go through such lengths just to be popular. I'm guilty of adjusting images to pretend that it's more appealing just like what she did, that's for sure.

It was a fun special that retained what made the Netflix series fun and that's nice. I know it's a Christmas special and all but the same two songs playing repeatedly throughout the episode got pretty annoying I think.

Even if it was just a stroll between Haida and Retsuko, it still counts as a date.

I was smiling knowing Tsunoda was also stalking Retsuko on insta, truly a beautiful moment there.

This was an enjoyable single episode, the only matter is that the death growl was sub-par for me. The other matter, is that Retsuko rejected Haida in the beginning, so I ship those two a lot.

I like how more lively this part is compared to the og one. Guess more time is all Aggressive Retsuko need to shine more, eh? Fenneko needs to stop that stalk tho, its absolutely creeping me...
