アグレッシブ烈子 2
Aggretsuko is an ONA based on characters by Yeti for the mascot company Sanrio. The show was written and directed by Rarecho, and produced by Fanworks.
Season two continues to follow the life and times of Retsuko, an office lady that is no more content with her lot than she was last season, and on top of that now she has to deal with an uptight trainee.
“But Garrett,” I can hear you say, “You already passed judgement on Aggretsuko not too long ago. Normally when you review shows that have multiple seasons (such as FMA or Naruto) you just lump the whole thing together.”
Well, dear reader, that is a completely valid point. I whether or not I delineate by season in my reviews in entirely dependent on if I delineated by season in my viewing. For Aggretsuko I finished season one, wrote my review, took a short break from the show, and then watched season two.
I went into season two of this show expecting more of the same office drudgery, but what I got surprised me. No longer does this show just pay lip service to airplanes, we actually get one, on screen, in a fairly major role. Now, I won’t get your hopes up too much, it’s more to demonstrate certain attributes of one of the new characters, but it does show up in multiple episodes with varying degrees of screen importance. This development was so out of left field that its importance did not strike me until I started the next episode.
A second season should build on what the first started, improving what it can in the process, and season two of Aggretsuko does just that. Though the inclusion is fairly limited, Aggretsuko 2 earns itself three and a half airplanes out of five.
