Aggressively Adorable

A little red panda, age 25 years,
Has an office-based job in Japan.
She gets trouble from bosses—some co-workers, too—
Though she’s trying as hard as she can.

All her efforts to make her life easy to handle
Do not make it better for long.
In fact, half the time, her experimentation
Goes horribly (comically) wrong.

In spite of her stresses, she rarely betrays
Any anger with even a scowl,
Until she’s clocked out and can do karaoke.
She packs quite a death metal growl.

You're not the first to ask. It's Aggretsuko, a Sanrio anime that started as a series of shorts in 2016 and became a Netflix series this year. The first season consists of 10 episodes around 15 minutes in length, and there's a second in the works.
