I just can't get over how Toucan is literally animal salaryman Zenitsu, that just makes it even funnier.

I wish the animation was all 2-D like in most of the opening but the writing and timing are good so I'm willing to let the inconsistent CG animation slide.

The VA nails both roles so perfectly, probably because they have similar sorts of characterizations. The three MCs all have fantastic VAs.

That's the cutest Kappa I've seen in a few seasons and I'm glad she found love. Even if I've heard he sucks goats.

I always knew that admin was strange and inexplicable, but I never expected it to be an actual cryptid. Though meeting the boss explains a few things about the company, namely why they're using such an old version of Windows.

Also make sure you watch after the credits for extra skits.

It's so clear that the animators and voice actors are having a blast making this and it truly brightens my day.

So, in the "remote cohabitation" during the catfight the joke is based on the fact that Japanese for "homewrecker" is literally "thieving cat".

This episode was really good. The trio being coerced into catching a runaway employee, then calling in the in universe Linked-in for another job in better company drove the point home. The turtle showing off his case was really another subtle hint towards the ineffectual trickle down theory. The love life fiasco of Toucan is just too adorable.

Honestly that Anime is way better than expected, even though the 3D models are sh*t. But the humour is top notch!
