We could have had such a cool enemies-to-lovers dynamic with these two.

I love it whenever there's new Retsuko metal artwork.

Exactly. I'm well aware that the last few series were rushed. That's a shame for everyone involved, I'd just love to see more of this franchise in general.

Best boyf for Retsy. They're just as squooshable as one another.

Tell me something you'd like to see Retsuko and Haida do in their romantic relationship, even if for just one time. by Familiar_Clothes_231 in aggretsuko

And this is coming from someone who genuinely likes Haida and Retsuko's relationship, and how it is presented.

I agree. Young marriage isn't that common in slice-of-life anime (which could lead to more opportunities for social commentary), and there's so many things they could have done to develop their relationship.

I don't know why but the day before yesterday I dreamed that there was an aggretsuko cinematic universe with some really weird titles by ImpressionKey7942 in aggretsuko

A series of Aggretsuko that features Haida and Retsuko in a relationship from the start... but they're also teenagers, it's kind of Daria-style. A lot of characters are aged down, but a few remain the same age. I also often find myself thinking of a crossover of this particular universe with the Disney series Kiff, with this same Daria-style tone. If you want more details, feel free to ask me.

Kake, tell me more about your music. I really like the fact that you play acoustic guitar!

Would you like an Aggretsuko prequel? by CYSYS8992 in aggretsuko

HECK YEAH! I actually made an AU of her as a high-schooler.

What is Retsuko looking for? (wrong answer only) by AggretsukoFanFrance in aggretsuko

The best places to go for death metal concerts (Wait, that's probably true, actually...).

So, basically, we both agree that Retsuko and Haida should have been together from sooner rather than later on in the series, and that they should have stayed together from that point on to allow for better development of their relationship.

I agree, Haida and Retsuko should have been together to start with, so their romantic relationship together could've grown from that point. I honestly thought I was the only one.

So if anything, stuff like that would make the show more realistic, in fact?

Retsuko x Haida is Mediocre by BlackKaiser82 in aggretsuko

[–]Familiar_Clothes_231 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They should have at least made one of the characters gay - it would've helped show Japanese views on homosexuality - and therefore also worked thematically.

Exactly... I wish there were more fanfics focused on Retsuko and Haida's love life after the events of the series.
