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 moments that shed light on their deeper personalities. Aggretsuko is a show that stands because of its characters, and overall is a very good show to watch. It may very well be able to stand the test of time and be considered a must watch title for any anime fan in the future.
