I tried the manga when it debuted in the US, but it didn't thrill me enough to want to buy volume 2. Since Crunchyroll is streaming the anime, I thought I'd give the anime a try just in case. The animation, the voices, the sound effects, and a free-wheeling overall approach were enough of an improvement over the manga that I think I'll continue with the anime, but I doubt I'll ever go back to the manga.

What a fun show this is! It could become a stale, one-joke kind of show; if not, it could be one of my favorites this season.
My daughter is a Sagittarius. A couple years back I tried my hand at sculpting and made a fresco of a Sagittarius (or Secretary) bird as a present. So I had a pretty good idea where they were going during the snake segment. Appropriately enough, Washimi, the executive secretary in Aggretsuko is also a secretary bird. ![]() Here a look at one in action. They kill snakes by stomping on them, then devouring the entire snake in one gulp.

Was a bit stumped by what the creatures were in the first part of this episode, first thinking "bees?" then once that was ruled out i had no idea. Just not thought of naked mole rats. They always remind me of Shin Sekai Yori though.
Did like the homage to the old Osamu Dezaki 'Postcard Memories' though. |

I could have sworn last week's episode was the last. It felt like the last. But no, here's episode 13.
I totally wasn't expecting that. I did guess where they were going with the "bird" though, as soon as I saw the beak. Are we sure this wasn't two cour? Wishful thinking, apparently a bonus episode which was supposedly exclusive to Amazon Japan. Still, nice bonus! Last edited by Dop; 2021-04-01 at 13:37. |

Aha, that's why I couldn't find it on Amazon Prime in the US. I thought I read it was going to be streamed there, but I guess I got it confused with Amazon Japan. Anyway, great to hear there's a little gift for me over on the Crunchyroll site!
