Bonus Content #6 | Aggretsuko Netflix Anime Review | Sanrio Anime
A review of my favorite new show to learn about Japanese culture. FYI, In my review I forgot to mention is that the subtitles have been changed quite a bit in some situations to better suit western audiences. It changes the nuance of a lot of situations so if you are not a mid to advanced Japanese speaker you might miss some details. It is nothing to worry about, but just letting you know.
