Who can’t emphasize with an employee who feels crushed both at work and at home? That’s probably why the anime show starring Sanrio’s office worker/karaoke enthusiast is so popular. And after a very popular first season, Netflix would have actually had to been crazy not to renew it. And now we have our first look at Season 2 as well as a premiere date:
If you haven’t had a chance to see the show yet, Aggretsuko follows a 25-year-old red panda name Retsuko who works in the accounting department of a major company. The way she manages to deal with the injustices of daily life is to rage-sing heavy metal music at a karaoke place after work. She encounters problems at work and in her personal life, making new friends and developing fulfilling relationships. It was first popularized by a series of shorts before Netflix made it into a show in its own right.
Besides the teaser, we also get a look at some scenes from the new season from their tweet:

As we’ve seen, Retsuko is going to continue the rage singing, hanging out with friends, and interacting with love interest Haida. It also looks like we’ll finally meet Retsuko’s mom – in the shorts, we met her grandma who has a similar temper to Retsuko but no other family members (as far as I could find, anyways). It’ll be interesting to see what misadventures our favorite angry red panda gets into next and we won’t have to wait very long…
Aggretsuko Season 2 will premiere on Netflix on June 14, 2019.
