Genre: Comedy, Music, Slice of Life

Languages: Both Sub and Dub

Has 4 seasons

Each season having 10 episodes

Some offices have stereotypical dynamics: the chauvinistic pig of a boss who never does any real work; the employees whose goal is to suck up to the boss; the ones whose lives seem perfect; and the individuals who have all the actual work pushed onto them. Retsuko the red panda is in the last group, as she stays late most nights to make up the work her coworkers are too lazy to do themselves. Her relief from the stress of her everyday life comes in the form of singing death metal at a local karaoke club. Night after night, Retsuko channels her grief into a microphone and considers the place to be her own personal sanctuary. But as she moves further away from her comfort zone and the ideas people have of her, she discovers that letting others into her world of death metal may not be such a bad thing. (Source: MAL)

Fishbaiit’s note: (OMFG, I remember that as a kid, I watched and dubbed comic video that was called “The Groaning Drain” and I can’t tell you ENOUGH how much that story gave me nightmares; the voice acting, and the sound effects they added?! I was scared to even shower or go anywhere near the sink. Yet I ended up growing up loving the horror/thriller genre and Junji Ito’s art is just so bizarre and amazing!)

This actually seems very interesting! I’ve never seen or heard of it before

KAIBA (2008) - created by Masaaki Yuasa

It’s an existential, surrealist and dystopian anime series with the cutest character designs and AMAZING animation lol. I found the whole series on DVD at my local library and I haven’t been the same since akskdkd.

The central concept is about memories. The series takes place in a universe where it is possible to store, export, override, buy/sell people’s memories. But where is the line drawn between our mind, body, and soul when is possible to implant our memories onto other bodies? What are the societal implications of the commercialization and market demand for people’s memories and bodies? These questions and a lot more are what came up for me when I saw this show.

pls enjoy these beautiful out of context gif sets so I don’t spoil anything plot wise:
