Netflix stuff

Always on the lookout to watch something interesting for a short interval during lunch and having exhausted 'Arrested Development' and finding little interest in Bojack Horseman I trawled Netflix for something captivating because there's something to be said about watching a light-hearted fun moment which is witty and humorous and since I do not vibe a lot with very American themes like 'Parks and Recreation' et al it's usually adult animation that I gravitate towards and lo! last week I came across..how should I say this? An insanely funny, mature, intelligent and pointed animation which literally brought tears of laughter from my eyes called 'Aggretsuko'.
Yes, it's a Japanese anime and yes it's fantastic beyond comparison.

There are cutesy animals instead of people and don't let that turn you off because it really is pretty heavy metal.
An office girl who is a red panda with yellow fur stuck in a thankless job with horrible bosses and crushing work pressure releases stress through death metal in karaoke and oft in the office bathroom.
It had me rolling with laughter because the expressions, comic timings and insertion of death metal grunts come at all the right points and it has to be seen to be understood.

I'd seen some fleeting moments of the trailer for YOU and dismissed it as some young adult series but perhaps now I'll have to give it a watch because you..
