Netflix’s latest anime series is now out in the wild and it’s been an instant smash hit. Season 1 hit Netflix on April 20th, 2018 and as we’ll discover below, the show may or may not be coming back for a second season. Here’s everything we know about the second season of Aggretsuko on Netflix. 

Also known as Aggressive Retsuko the anime series features a female panda who’s absolutely sick of her job and eventually loses it and has to find an outlet for her aggression. To do this, she heads to karaoke to sing death metal. Although it shares the same creator of Hello Kitty, this is clearly designed for an older and mature audience.

As many of you will now know, the series is instantly watchable and has received good scores from outlets. It’s currently sitting at an 8.5 on IMDb.
