Okay- I've decided since I review tv shows on Saturdays usually... I'm just going to name this post "Bingewatch and Chill" so... that's my weekly tv post! I don't always watch Netflix... sometimes it's other streaming services so... it's going to be bingewatch and chill.
Aggretsuko is kind of a special show for me because that's the first thing my boyfriend and I talked about when we were on Ok Cupid. I had just watched it at the time I signed up for it and I had just changed the "Last show I bingewatched" to Aggretsuko with a picture of Retsuko on my profile and then he messaged me saying "Aggretsuko was amazing!" So... yeah! This is a special show for us and we watched it together with sore stomachs from eating at Applebee's...
ANYWAY the season itself was really interesting. We thought it seemed a little less serious and a little less sad than the second season and the animation looked a little bit different. We don't really know if the show had budget cuts because of Covid or if they were trying to rush it because it looked a little more simple than it used to- but we really liked how it looked. It made sense with the tone of the season somehow too... which was overall very silly until the penultimate episode where things got more serious.
So in this season Retsuko is addicted to an online VR game in which she has a sexy unicorn boyfriend. And she spends all of her money on things for the game... and then she backs into a guys car and ends up becoming an accountant for an Idol band he manages and then eventually joins the band herself after he heard her metal vocals at the karaoke bar that she frequents and the band records at.
All of the new characters in this season are really cute and really fun... plus we see different sides of some of the characters from the earlier seasons. Gori, Washimi, Haida, Fenneko and even Tadano have their own archs that really make this season amazing.
The last episode ended in a way that... was a bit of a cliffhanger but also not really. I thought it was wrapped up nicely compared to the one shocking moment that was the one scary and serious moment of the season... which I believe ended the penultimate episode. It gave us a happy ending that gives us something to look forward to if the show comes back for another season. Which I think it can!
I think that is everything I want to say without spoiling too much. Overall this is definitely the best season yet- I really felt like we got to know each of the characters and when that moment hits... it's really suspenseful and the way they do it is heartwarming kind of. Just a great show overall!
Bye!
