After nearly five years, one of Netflix’s most popular anime original series is coming to an end as Aggretsuko Season 5 got a February 2023 release date.

The show’s fifth and final season got a release date announcement alongside the new trailer which was shared on Netflix’s official social media channels.

The trailer gives fans a taste of what to expect in Aggretsuko’s last anime outing.

While Netflix now has a strong roster of original anime shows, that wasn’t the case back in 2018. At the time, Netflix was still strengthening its anime portfolio.

Then came Aggretsuko, an anime series based on the popular Sanrio character of the same name. While it’s not Netflix’s first original show, it became one of the most popular.

The show’s popularity isn’t just within Japan though as Aggretsuko became a hit worldwide as well, with many viewers relating to the daily struggles of Retsuko in her workplace.

Aggretsuko began with a 10-episode season. All 10 episodes were released on the same day, a strategy that Netflix still employs in some form for its other anime titles such as JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.

Because the first season became such a big hit, the series was renewed for more seasons, with each season getting 10 episodes.

Its success also paved the way for other Netflix original anime based on popular mascot characters.

For instance, there’s Gudetama: An Eggcellent Adventure, which was released in December and is based on another Sanrio character.

Despite seeming like a standard slice-of-life show at first, Aggretsuko’s story progresses in interesting ways.

For example, Retsuko revealed her death metal singing to the public in Season 3, thus giving her a valuable side gig.

The events of the fifth season are detailed in the latest trailer which you can watch here:

While the trailer doesn’t reveal everything that will happen, it does give us an idea of what to expect.

Specifically, it looks like the show will put the spotlight on Haida, Retsuko’s love interest who quits his job during Season 4.

Aggretsuko Season 5 will be released exclusively on Netflix on February 16, 2023. Previously, the show was only confirmed to release in February.

The season is also expected to have 10 episodes, much like the first four seasons.

As for availability, the anime will be available worldwide as it’s a Netflix original show.
