Bonus Content #6 | Aggretsuko Netflix Anime Review |...

Japan According To Akil Podcast ·

2021/12/08

A review of my favorite new show to learn about Japanese culture. FYI, In my review I forgot to mention is that the subtitles have been changed quite a bit in some situations to better suit western audiences. It changes the nuance of a lot of situations so if you are not a mid to advanced Japanese speaker you might miss some details. It is nothing to worry about, but just letting you know. ========== Related links: Youtube Link https://youtu.be/NNtA4ptH9Fc Aggretsuko | Sanrio Anime |
