ICYMI: There’s A Heavy Metal Version Of Hello Kitty And We’re Pretty Sure It’s Our Spirit Animal

What do you get when you mix Hello Kitty creator Sanrio and Baby Metal? No, this isn’t a joke; this is serious. What you get is our new bona fide spirit animal, Aggretsuko.

Aggretsuko, for those unfamiliar, is a red panda who works as an office associate for a trading company in Tokyo – which she hates, by the way. More importantly, though, along with her agony of working for The Man, Aggretsuko also a bit of an anger issue and has been known to break out into cute-but-deadly fits of rage accompanied by her very own death metal soundtrack.

That’s right, Aggretsuko may take some shit time to time from her over-talkative hippo co-worker (she’s the worst!), but at the end of the day, Aggretsuko has some brutal jams to cure it all – thus, making her all of us in cartoon form. 

To check out a handful of one-minute episodes as well as Aggretsuko’s intro clip, be sure to look below. To get your very own Aggretsuko merch, head here.
