He creeped me right the fuck out. Reminds me of a guy we used to have at my job. Kind of surprised he turned it around in the end. Didn't expect the story to go that route.

Having watched all of Aggretsuko so far, I'm really surprised they haven't worked in a workplace shooting story arc, or at least an employee suicide storyline

well since its japanese, shooting would be out of the question, but i can see them trying suicide tho

I think that he is right about Japan's toxic "senpai" culture, where seniority trumps everything.

He might have had a point if he hadn't literally just started a day ago. If you're still that new it's probably not a bad idea to listen to the people who have been there longer than you and keep your head down.

Yup, they set him up as the perfect strawman.

I really hope they do. It fits the setting and mood.

>"Congratulations on your first power abuse! We're not so different, you and I. HAHAHAHA!"
Ton is the best character of this show.

Ton did nothing wrong

Funny youtube comment about this character:

"the fact that he effortlessly dismantles every problem that Retsuko faced last season"

Exactly. He's her, but with balls.

I swear to God, Retsuko will be the next Accounting Manager either her office or some remote branch. Ton and Retsuko have this weird mentor-student thing I often see most of the time.

It's very obvious Retsuko craves some small amount of power so she can abuse others. That's why she spends so much time around Gori and whatever that bird lady's name is. So she can learn from them how to intimidate other people and assert dominance. But what will she do with her power when she gets it? She is already on a dark path toward evil.

>Saved S1 AND S2
Seriously, name 1 (ONE) better character than the pigBOSS, oh thats right, YOU FUCKING CANT.

But Anai would continue to be a dead weight unlike Retsuko who went along with it and didn't mess her company up.

The world of Aggretsuko is a fucking dystopia nightmare world, like Brave New World. Except it's real, and we're living in it. Aggretsuko can be the hero who takes a brave stand against an oppressive system, or she can let herself be absorbed by it, losing everything she is as a person as she goes.

>office life can get a wee bit stressful
>OMIGAWD GUISE LITSRALLY DYSTOPIA
*laughs in salary*

>i-i-t's okay as long as i get paid, right?

You just keep on worshipping your green slave god

At least they get a salary they can live on, you don't get that in my country.

Where will Retsuko hide when the revolution comes?

>can't do basic things
>needs manager to hand hold him like his mom
Are jap new grads really like this?

This will be me my first month or so at my job.
They are supposed to train you for a job anyways so it's understandable I hope.

American new grads are also like this

>Retsuko is complicit in Chalaryman co.'s corporate greed
>We're supposed to be sympathetic to someone who has chosen the side of the oppressor

pathetic and disgusting

>Late-stage capitalism is such a pain.

Is he right?

He's a monster

Anai did LITERALLY nothing wrong.

Also is it just me or Retsuko is kinda of a huge bitch who only cares about money?

Was waiting for the punch in his donkey face.

Kinda, the point is that Retsuko is not a good person or anything, she's just average/normal like everyone else.

yes.

Still didn't start Season 2.
Did MY BOY Haida get any pussy?

Show grabbed my head by the ears and slammed it into its kneecap

I am anai. I really am. I can admit it and its true. I always take shit personally and in the end its because im afraid. I do try my best but when my efforts are met with anything except appreciation then I just shut down or mark them as an enemy. And when i do that, youre basically dead to me, no recourse.

Fuck. I gotta grow up.

No you're right, whats also bullshit is how she tries to paint herself as a woman who wants nothing more than to be the housewife to a rich man and have his kids, but she can't cook or clean like a good housewife should and lies about being a "cooking aficionado" on her speed dating page, but then fucks up her food at the festival.

Maybe in S3

Thats what 20s are like tho

You have to make decisions about what you want and sometimes it will seem hypocritical or antithetical, but in the end it doesn't really matter. Cooking takes years to really get right, yeah. But as long as she says she wants to learn then thats enough.

She did get the license. Retsukos trying her best.

i think thats good, a tv show teaching a bit about one self

Fenneko obviously cares about Haida, why isn't he filling her womb with sperm already?

>super rich dude is fun and into you
>get mad because he doesn't really care about marriage or having kids, even if he said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you

I want to punch her in the face

Season two was so unbelievably bad. I know they tried to make a point, but who on their right mind would turn down a millionaire? Specially a woman. Especially a japanese woman who are all about money and status. Wishfull thinking has its limits, and the line has clearly been crossed into ridiculous territory.

You should always try to solve minor problems at works face to face.

Agreed

>kind of right
No. He's a complete cunt. Would eat his cooking though.

I've been seeing this around a lot.
What kind of show is it?

Of course he's right. Why should the 0.1% who were mostly born into wealth get the same profit as the bottom 90%, who mostly do things they don't enjoy for 40-50 hours a week? Late capitalism is a system that expects infinite growth, which is absolutely impossible on a finite planet.

Hes a millionaire but in the end hes still a kid that thinks communism works

No. He's mistaking the government intervention we have now as capitalism.

Corporate life slice of lofe comedy.

Enai is the best character in the show.

Still haven't seen it but Anai was best boy in the short shorts. Is this still true?

This. Their rap battle at the enkai in season one confirmed it. Alternate universe Retsuko is already the dreaded buchou lady.

Even easier to manipulate, and Japanese woman are manipulative master minds. I still call BS on this arc ending, no one would shut down on this free ride, he could fly her to eat wherever she wanted ffs. Moreover, she could get pregnant without his consent, not like she would be the first woman to do that. The show simply completely ignored womans nature.

yeah him and gori banged like crazy in ep9

I keep reading his name as Anal

>I can only stay with you with you marry me and have kids with me

Are we REALLY supposed to be on Retsuko's side here?

Its actually late stage consumerism that spawned from unchecked captialism but yes

Me too. Fuck an.al and fuck jannies

I still think marriage is a meme but I could understand why someone would dream about it since they were a kid and I'd relent on my own beliefs about it if I was pressed hard enough.

I totally understand the kids part though. Some people really want kids and some people really don't. That kind of thing never works out.

Shes a trad thot lmao

Yeah that shit is kinda infuriating

The marriage part is kind of silly, but not wanting/wanting kids is a huge dealbreaker for a lot of people.

I still cant believe they put that finger in the butt reference, with Haida being unable to sit the next day.

>not being a degenerate is bad
The absoulte state of Yea Forums

Did we watch the same show user

The MC is trying to be what you describe but coming up short. Hence the screaming at karaoke bars.

Come on man. If you wanted to watch a show about an evil bitch then try elsewhere

good goy never get married and be raped by child support

Its the sound of the fujoshis queefing in unison. Hurr kids bad!

To be fair, Retsuko has been shown again and again and again to be mostly attracted to money and status.

The thing is, even in fantasy, when you push things too far beyond reality it turns ridiculous. Its not that she couldn't have an arc about how important marriage and kids are to her, but the way it was presented was just painfully ludicrous. Something like this would never happen in any circumstances, specially because of how evil woman are. They might as well put her on a white horse the next season and make her free middle earth, because thats how far they gone to make her a white Knight.

Have sex you creepy incel :(

Find love, you loveless emotionalcel

so a normal woman following her instincts?

Based and misespilled

Why should you be allowed a cent from their pockets?

like 95% of office jobs are like this.
The first month or so is generally spent on training.
Every office has protocols for doing even the simplest thing so that nothing goes undocumented and all work is homogeneous and to a minimum standard, usually set by legal advisors.

because its a blatant power grab

If he doesn't marry her then how is she going to steal half his money in divorce a few years down the line?

Honestly user, try thinking like a woman for once.

>It's not the Keit-ai pasta

One job.

what else was he right about?

Learning to "adult" with cute sanrio animals.

Not goona lie, if I worked with Anai and he looked decent enough (which he probably does in-verse) I'd fuck him, he's strangely my type.

This.
I'm a woman and I think she's old fanshioned/retarded, even if she's a good partner that doesnt automatically mean she'll be a good mom, how about date for a few fucking YEARS so he could see if you even have the mom material in you, then maybe start thinking about a family? Honestly Retsuko is too immature to be a mom anytime soon, her kid will suffer badly, I hate her character.

I don't understand why they didn't just fire him. At least around here they wouldn't hesitate to kick a new hire to the curb if they started acting up like that.

I'll be your friend user.

Retsuko's dream is to have a husband and kids. He didn't. She made that clear in the Karaoke and they had a mutual understanding and they called it quits.

Marriage is nothing in the way of "This makes my love eternal for you" or something like that. But it meant so much for Retsuko. He could've been "Ok let's do it" and nothing would change but he didn't want to. They both had strong beliefs and they just weren't compatible.

When the news broke out about Retsuko's relationship to Tadano and Haida was on the phone with Fenneko, I noticed that the camera was super close up on his face. I was really hoping it would snap back to show Haida on the edge of a building just for some seriously dark comedy.

If he cares so much about freeing people from work, why didn't he give Retsuko enough money to quit her job and pursue whatever dreams she pretends to have even after they broke up?

Jefferson was the FF most like Anai, always friendly up-front but writing gossip and legal threats in letters between his confidants, trying to ruin his opponents' image. All Anai needs is a sex slave and it will be complete.

I really hated Retsuko's reasons for breaking up with him but the show did a good job of showing you how incompatible the two really were. Tadano was nice but when you think about it, since Retsuko got with him all she did was sleep in his limo, shut herself off from everyone, and follow him around like a doll. It's obviously not the life Retsuko wanted and doesn't seem to be a hint of fulfilment in the future. Marriage and children are overrated but they would at least give Retsuko something to look forward to rather than the standstill a relationship with Tadano would have been.

That sounds like a metric fuckton of conflation user

I used to be Anai when I was younger until I got fired at my first office job and learned my lesson.

In the grand schemes of things, he's an idiot.
He claims that marriage/kids is old fashioned and therefore he'll never want to get married, but that thought leads to extinction, which is actually the current problem in Japan, because of people with the same dumb mindset as him.

Eliminating japans oppressive work culture and actually allowing other people the free time to have kids would be more effective than sacrificing his dream and raising kids of his own if that was your goal.

He would literally only need to enable 2 couples to have kids for it to be more effective than having kids himself.

Fenneko

I personally think that his chances of success are lower than the damage he causes by existing as someone famous, successful and rich, while also being unmarried and against marriage to the public. Think about what an example he's serving.

Because she wants to fill it with deer tongue.

The only SoL with realstic characters in a non-highschool setting. Which is why half the themes go above Yea Forums's head.

Considering he had filed everything "wrong" they had done to him, he could have shown all of that to the Boss if he got fired. The accounting department didn't want to look bad, so they simply allowed him to stay for a while.

Lovely

>>wahhh why dont people want to waste time on people with clashing relationship values? hes rich and COOL.
fucking morons

Already a thing.
