Not gonna lie, I want Retsuko and Haida to bang. I kinda wanna bang Haida too. Too bad she's all about that rich dick right now.

4 episodes and absolutely nothing has happened. What's the point of longer episodes if nothing is even going to happen during that extra time? I'm starting to lose sympathy for Retsuko since she's so reluctant to fixing her issue. Report that fucking swine already so we can move on.

Well i was wondering myself too why many of the characters feel so off but this show is apparently alternative version instead of sequel series. It didn't become apparent until this episode.

When making a series of 1-minute episodes, characters might not always be the most fleshed out. When the runtime is increased 15-fold, changes are bound to happen: it's not as entertaining to watch 1-dimensional characters for 15 minutes.

the guitar in the opening really reminds me of the intro of satsugai from detroit metal city.

It's just a thin fantasy of escape from her annoying job. It's accepted for a woman to leave her job when she marries and if her husband is rich she won't have any need to work. She's not imaging living luxuriously, she just wants to get out of her job.

The first "arc" of this series was no different, really; the escape fantasy was getting a new low-stress job as a clerk in a cute shop; another pretty standard fantasy. Note how Puko wanted Retsuko as an accountant but she imagined herself welcoming a customer in front of a shop and how the big disappointment was learning there was no shop rather than that the job wouldn't pay enough to keep up her rent.

Haida mentioned in the first episode how little good that would do.

Everything's gone downhill for Retsuko and the woes only piled up right until she started yoga classes to lose weight to find a man who can finance living expenses for two. It's all thanks to that protein junkie Kangaroo, she found an additional coping mechanism to deal with her newly-found troubles while she waits for them to cool down.

Too bad Haida crushed his own chances because he wanted his future wife to work too lmao

His total transformation when singing Heavy Metal is incredible, I hope yoga helps him.
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an
otaku in secret.

Not as strong of an episode, but still fun overall. It seems like the songs are getting shorter, which is a negative imo. The aggressive karaoke mode is one of the major draws for me, so I hope we get more of that in future episodes.

Haha there's always hope at Retsuko mind even after the mess got called out from the prev. Too bad its about marriage which leds to the event of the second season that may not so working out for Retsuko cause of the bad luck she always had. Well, its suppose...

Its nice to return back at the yoga class part with Retsuko friends outside the same dept coworkers, and the proteima instructor also is there too even at a very different noticeable order coming from their first introduction from the og. But, its still good on my end so yeah lets see next!
