Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear - Bears are cute. What would you do with your life after earning billions of yen in stocks? Our 15 years old girl Yuna confines herself to her house playing the world's first VRMMO. One day, after taking a survey in the game, she receives a bear costume without any clues where, why, what to do as a bear. But she quickly recognizes the power of bears and uses it to help people in need. And so, the story of our heroic kuma begins. Real life sucks. Well…this is a point that we often cannot deny. Our main character Yuna also hasthe same view and thus her journey in the fantasy world begins. She meets friends there that she really likes. Every day she experiences new adventures with them together. The poor in need are helped by her power and the limit of the evil dukes are finally shown. How does she make all of this possible? The answer is the bear costume. This present item has definitely cheat powers and can literally beat anything and anyone. Shortly after arriving the fantasy world, she saves a young cute girl named Fina from a pack of monsters. You can feel the harmony between the two girls and see that they get along perfectly. Fina guides her through the small down and after discovering the Adventures Guild, Yuna has found her destiny. She will become an adventure and fight against the evil! From an adventure without rank, she climbs them faster than lightning. Yuna is initially presented as a lazy, carefree and lonely NEET. Real life simply sucks in her opinion. She also doesn't care about the opinions from other people, she is doing the things she loves. Despite her somewhat anti-social demeanour, Yuna is exceptionally kind and has a certain sense of justice. She also shows a soft side towards the people she loves like Fina or Fina's imouto Shuri. Fina is the person saved by Yuna, not from the monsters only but everything. Meeting Yuna was the best thing could happen to her. With her help, Fina's mother recovered from her illness as well. Despite her young age (10), she already knows how to take care of her family. But not only Fina's world changed because of Yuna, instead also Yuna's view about the people who she really cares got in a positive way. If you are a fan of the CGDCT genre in general, you will like the style here for sure. All the girls are shown very cute. Yuna's life becomes more colorful through this world, which is also well represented. It is colorful and you can feel her happiness through the bright and beautiful colors. The scenes are also well animated, even those where a little fight takes place. The OP song “Itsuka no Kioku” is performed by our cute Fina aka Azumi Waki. She is also known as part of the legendary Blend S OP "Bon Appétit ♡ S" where she voices Maika. You can feel how happy Fina is meeting Yuna-oneechan from the music and the lyrics. She is the one who saved not only her but also her whole family and brought them the joy they deserve. But what really stays in your head is the ED song "Ano ne" sung by Yuna (Maki Kawase). Maybe one or the other will still remember the "anone anone" from the Platelets (Hataraku Saibou – Cells at Work!), which is also just too cute. We saw your stories with happiness, Yuna. With this song she shows that she would do everything to protect this world and her friends. It is a place where she is accepted and feels home. Although I am a huge CGDCT fan, I was a bit skeptical after the first few episodes. I have to admit that I found the bear costume a bit strange at the beginning. I would love to see Yuna more without it to be honest. I like her casual outfit much more. But gradually I got used to it and it didn’t bother me anymore. What really fascinates me is Yuna's attitude how much she is willing to help the poor and vulnerable people without expecting anything in return. I hope especially for Fina, Schuri and their family they can have a great time now, those two young ladies deserved it. Relax a little, just lean back and enjoy the adventures with our bears! See how a 15-year-old girl save the world and put smiles on people's faces again. I hope we will see more adventures with our kuma in the future as well!

This show is basically 3 different shows combined into one. not in a good way. It starts off as you expect. video gamer gets isekai'd to fantasy world with OP videogame powers. typical premise. the first few episodes are about her learning the world and her abilities. saving people by beating up monsters for the adventurer's guild. again, expected. The main problem in this part is that Yuna does it all with the soulessness of a puppet. Zero personality. Perhaps she's an autist. After 4 episodes of that it devolves into a 'food tastes good' anime. I don't know how many times people need to be remindedthat food tastes good, but this anime is here for all of it. Look, I get that Japenese people live lives intentionally devoid of most luxury and taste is one of the only things they allow themselves to become indulgent in, but jesus can we stop this trope already? almost the entire rest of the anime is her cooking food and everyone remarking how good it is. maybe they switch it up AND SOMEBODY ELSE COOKS and then everyone remarks how good it is. Occasionally you will get a "You mean if I go beat monster X, I can eat food X!?!?" type of scenario and it still sucks. the fights are completely lame considering she's so OP. literally never faces any real danger herself the entire time. She's also kind of a nitwit and not very efficient with using her powers. The only rule to them is she has to be thinking about bears and she doesn't even remember to do that most of the time. But here is the kicker, at THE LAST HALF OF THE LAST EPISODE(!) it again devolves into a pure yuri anime out of nowhere. It doesn't make any sense. The show itself ends on a confession that really doesn't get resolved. Is the bear girl a lesbian with the other little girl now? I don't know. I don't care. I was honestly wishing they would just go eat some food and talk about how good it tastes again. I find it rather confounding this thing isn't scoring in the 5 range. It's awful. Are people giving it 10s out of irony? has to be

We had SAO. Then we had Spring 2020's Bofuri, which takes the former's inspiration and gives it a light-hearted, cutesy "moe blob" twist. Now welcome to the next level with the mish-mash of both shows, and you'll get the result (that is) Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear. KUMA??? GAO~~~ The Isekai power-fantasy genre has always been confined in a state of amassed "love-hate" relationships over the years since the introduction of Reki Kawahara's hugely popular LN series (that still to this day gets a bad rap), and many novelists have attempted to compose their own "unique twists" to varying degrees of successes and failures. It's not untilfairly recently that there has been a resurgence with the "moe blob" twist, starting from Bofuri (which has the overly-cliche OP character, but relatable and fun in every way). And you can take everything about that show and apply it here, not forgetting to add the ever-so-popular bear-ish CGDCT genre for an even intriguing adventure of a pure, laid-back relaxation and enjoyment in a traditional VRMMORPG-like environment. Forget what you remember of the tropes and clichés of similar shows in the past, and come along for this ride that is anything but typical. A stereotypical OP character, stemming from her lazy-bum personality who became a NEET at age 12, and never wanting to go back to the real world? Now that's something you don't hear much, and the atypical 15-year-old Yuna is just that. Being transported into the Isekai world, forced to be clothed in a black-or-white unBEARablely costume suit helming bear-able magic attacks, along with adorable and fluffy summoned beasts (white Kumakyuu and black Kumayuru), this is the adventurous story of Yuna travelling in spades, while giving off entirely different impressions of a "heroic" OP MC character (mostly being embarrassingly noticed because she's a donning a bear onesie), interacting with townspeople and imparting some assets of the real world to surprise them with wonderous mind-boggling awe. Oh, and make the "House of Kuma" and cook up Japanese food, just because she can and has real-world withdrawals of nostalgia to recreate. The immediate thing about Yuna (as is with Bofuri's Maple) is that more than just being relatable, she's not trying to be over-pretentious about the various situations of encounters in her journey, be it wild monster battles or exacting her sweet, sweet revenge (of Kuma attacks, Jojo style) on greedy and heartless people that take advantage of oppressing common folk in simple one-note circumstances, giving a mix of both light and dark undertones for a competent and balanced story plot structure (unlike Slime Otoko's). That's not to say that she goes through this journey alone, as the growing and budding relationships with other characters (well, mostly "moe blob" lolis) makes for a somewhat conventional journey, even much more enjoyable. Take for example, Yuna's first friend: 10-year-old loli, Fina. Living together with her younger sister Shuri and their single mother Tiermina, she is the sole breadwinner of the poverty-strickened family, and forced to take care of the family's circumstances, molding her character development of both responsibility and maturity at a young age (which accounts for her abnormal mentality of such a young child). It's not until another the Adventure Guild staff member (Uncle) Gentz does the family's happiness really takes off, and having a stepfather helps in the family's growth as well. Nice one. Along with the other characters that come in toll as the series progresses (from a single-family and an orphanage to royalty), more than just the "coincidental" blessings in disguise, Yuna learns a lot about the meaning of life, being true-to-honest about her own reflections of her past in the real world and living the best out of the current times. I love stuff like these that just speaks to my heart-strings, and gives me the inspiration and perseverance to keep on living (and so should yours too). Director Yuu Nobuta helms this anime project over at low-budget studio EMT Squared, and rightaway source readers see this as a "disappointing adaptation", due to the fact that Episode 1 was pre-screened early (started by yours truly), garnering mixed feelings from both source readers and anime-onlys due to the weird choice of pacing and the sub-par animation quality (that spawned spoilers for irrefutable reasons, that you can blame series composer Takashi Aoshima). Despite all the hoopla for a shaky start, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear slowly but eventually found its footing and from thereon, started the progress of a fast-paced recovery that only got consistently better as time passes. Also, no matter how simplistic the visuals feel with the tag-along low-quality animation that the studio is known for, it never once feels drab and out of place, but instead creates a colourful, vibrant world that matches an imperfect-but-wonderful background setting. The OST is about as lively as you'd expect of the familiar nature of CGDCT shows, and is more of the same in that regard. Both Azumi Waki's OP and Yuna's VA Maki Kawase's ED may sound quite shallow, but they sound really nice and energetic, which also gives Kuma Bear the sizable competency of a good OP/ED pairing in a season of high-quality ones. If you've been looking for the seasonal "LN Isekai power fantasy adaptation" cliche that IS worth watching, this is for you. This anime is by no means a masterpiece (nor even a mediocre) work, but getting a mid-range sized character cast with the lore of just enjoying a likeable OP MC rage her black-and-white fists in a world accepting the ways of "Miss Bear", that's saying a lot for a show that I'd recommend for those of you who can just turn off your brains and let loose the unBEARableness. Underrated show this is not, but it's at least worth a watch. *Nipah-like* KUMA~~~

Cuuuuute~ Transported into a game: the genre, has just gone nuclear....nuclear cute!! The premise alone makes it a hilarious take and the first few episodes really bring home the embarrassment and cuteness that comes with overpowered bear suits. The creativity to continue the bear theme is certainly impressive and the good-naturedness of the show is welcomely wholesome. Unfortunately, as the show continues it suffers from the wash, rinse, repeat of it all with little to do with character. The show itself is pretty and chose a unique palette for the art to emphasize the cuteness. It's a fun watch nonetheless. There really isn't much substance, and when compared toother shows within this genre it also doesn't stand up to the mediocre ones as it can easily slip the mind and not be too memorable. It'll be hard for me to recommend this outside of a "good afternoon to recharge yourself."
