Aggretsuko (Seasons 1–5)

Aggretsuko (2018) is a Japanese comedy anime you can watch online on iFILM. Retsuko is a twenty-five-year-old red panda working as an accountant at a Tokyo trading firm. She stays polite all day, then screams her rage into a death-metal karaoke mic every night.

Her pig of a boss dumps extra work on her, coworkers smile and stab, the spreadsheets never end. Saying any of it out loud isn't an option, so Retsuko grabs the microphone and growls until the booth walls shake. Slowly a circle forms around her: confident gorilla Gori, secretary Washimi, and the odd director Ton. Bit by bit they coax the panda out of her shell.

Directed by Rarecho and built from a character born at Sanrio — yes, the Hello Kitty studio — the show pairs cute pastel art with sharp office venom. It lands hardest for anyone who has ever sat at a job they hate and dreamed of one good scream. Stream Aggretsuko (2018) online on iFILM.
