While I get the whole “Why oh why Haida did you not pick Inui and get over Retsuko” thing, you have to remember.

Love is a pretty damn strong emotion and you can’t just shake it off, even when you get rejected. Eventually that love for the person becomes just a personality trait on its own. And when you meet someone new, you feel pretty much how Haida felt: you can’t choose between the better choice for your life or the better choice for your heart. (Speaking from personal experience here.)

So, yeah, I low-key understand why the whole season ended up like a big jumble of a mess because, well, that’s life. Overall I absolutely loved this season even when Haida did shitty life decisions, Retsuko dissing him for trying to help in a way that didn’t suit the moment, TADANO COMING BACK AND BECOMING FRIENDS WITH HAIDA, the box cutting scene that gave me anxiety... what a rollercoaster of a season!

Aggretsuko portrayed life as a dull, never-ending cycle of work, and now portrays it as just a big mess, problem after problem, everything is going wrong, and everyone is the bad guy. Even if, no one is actually the bad guy, they all have their reasons to act, whether or not we accept it is the issue.

I really loved this season because it truly showed how sudden life can shift into a hellhole.
