Japan is like if you combined 1950s white America with one of Ted's nightmares :a-guy:

    Aggretsuko

    I loved Aggretsuko until the season where

    spoiler

    the writing decided to character assassinate Haida and suddenly make him a well-off failson and le genius coder out of nowhere and introduced a New Original Boss Don't Steal and made Tadano into an absurd Mary Sue character up to and including winning at arm wrestling effortlessly without the slightest sign of ever doing strength training and in fact being known for being lazy and THEN said he was going to do a little space tourism as a treat because that same writer probably wanted a donkey version of :my-hero: . Also the (attempted?) murder with the scream laser at the end broke the setting's delicate balance of surreal and plausible.

    Yes I'm pissed at that season and worried about the premise of the upcoming and final season. :sadness:
