Oh yeah, second season of the somewhat charming red panda Retsuko.
In case you’re not familiar with all this — go check out season one, what are you doing here, you silly?!

Anyway, the review. Might be a small drop of spoiler in here, but just on the overall action.

The story continues well from the first season, not as much hardcore rock music popping up now though. Three capital vices are strongly affecting the series — sloth, envy and pride. Mainly the first one.
The story actually works out great in showing how not getting sht done, getting sht done and pushing waaay to hard to get sht done can affect you. It all needs to be balanced around the midpoint of getting sht done. And not to mention, that — only you need to decide on what will work for you! Not your mom and dad.

The animation’s great for the series, music’s sweet and the plot makes you keep going with one episode after another (thank heavens that there are only 10 episodes (or not (sadface))).

Should you watch — yes!

Getting back on cardinals and getting sht done — Retsuko is so unassertive. Pushed by her boss, her colleagues and even her parents. The final episode made me actually sad for Retsy. You actually hit the jackpot but everyone just pushed you all over the place.
And logically, why would you want to listen to all those guys anyway?
Ton clearly is stuck in his “complete” life (wife, kids, work, golf and booze sometimes).
Gori and Washimi have complications with their “second halves” so getting advice from them on BFF terms is silly.
Haida is just interested in you, but hey, you don’t know that because solo he can’t make a move (so we pass on that).
And mom is just wedding crazy, it should’ve catch on pretty early.
Actually, now that I think of it, only Anai, was ok.
And alas, people pushed poor Retsy into a bad move.

Love and Life doesn’t work this way, Retsy. Like in “Shawshanks” geology – it takes pressure and time.

So the moral’s this — don’t be unassertive, don’t be greedy, don’t fall into your ego and don’t be lazy. The life is your oyster, be smart about it!

P.S: I had to write this and get it off my chest. That's a sign of a good series! Right? Sure it is!
