I love this show and have rewatched it countless times. It's ultra-chill, with great characters and a ton of wholesome moments, not to mention great comedy. This isn't about the overpowered protagonist or saving the world, this is about a girl helping people she's come to care about. This is all the more meaningful when you realise that she started off thinking she couldn't, and shouldn't, rely on anyone.
Kuma Bear is a character narrative about a girl in a new world meeting people and slowly growing as a person. It focuses on comedy and it's ultra-chill theme. I very quickly grew to really care about Yuna and Fina in particular, their weaknesses compliment eachother and lead to a deeper character connection than you'd expect.
Honestly I don't think it's a stretch to call this an Isekai…

Cute, OP, Simple, Friends, Good Cliche.
A one liner that could describe the show. Actually, there's more and I will covers the show with relatable perspective that this show seems to offer, an OP Isekai. Seeing so many Isekai's Anime in this current year, lowers expectation of people. I assure you, this one is a perfect show to fill your boring life while Pandemic. Sure, MC was OP, nothing can beat them, eh? In fact, there is, the shows convey 'feeling' as part of Weaknesses of OP Character. The friends bounding, develop into more eager feeling towards each other. Seeing them worried for one another, is cute.

A subtle complement to 'cute' is the simple coloring. Each character, the environment, the nature was drawn beautiful and cutely. The subtle saturation and a supposedly…

This is adorable and incredibly wholesome. It's just a feel-good kind of show overall. It's easy to digest and a fantastical parts of it are to be expected and are actually well done. They're unique. It fits fantastically into any young persons type of show while being comforting to the older people that enjoy light and friendly and feel good things. You're intended to be happy and they give you every opportunity to be.
The visuals are fantastic to go along with what needs to be accomplished. Things are soft and bright. There's no overwhelming darkness in any way, not even most of the monsters damage anything around them visually. They may be dark, but the whole scene still remains visually positive.
I do wish that there had been a little more interaction with other adventurers and see h…

Before we get to the review this is very important in my opinion: Start episode 1 at like 20:42 once she's back in the real world. After you finish episode 3 you can go back and watch it. The truth is it makes zero chronological sense where that part is because her VRMMO avatar didn't look like that, so it takes place after she's isekai'd. Just ignore the other scene from 2:18 to 2:30 in episode 1 that briefly cuts back to the real world. Episode 4 picks up directly after the events of episode 1. Whoever set it up to start like that is really a dummy. It makes absolutely zero sense. So just do yourself a favor and follow my advice on that one, kay?
That being said it's a really wholesome anime. I can't say there's really all that much story, though things definitely do happen and it's def…

less of an adventure or comedy and more of a cute fantasy slice of life isekai, but as a slice of life isekai it does an amazing job. its cute, interesting and most importantly, delicious.
the story is basically a hikikkomory loner called yuna who is also rich from stock market or smthng and kinda doesnt like her irl life gets sucked into the world of her vrmmorpg in a new character with a weird bear costume, but the bear set is broken so shes hella stronk. she has magic, summon pets and physical strength and resistance. so what does she do? chill adventures while befriending cute little kids(mostly girls) :3 and eating delicious food.
yuna has a very chill and humble personality and mostly wants to be left alone to sleep, eat and hang out with her underaged friends and honestly same excep…

The story is very much your typical Isekai story: Main character gets transferred to a new world, is given special powers, and live their lives as adventurers.
Why I enjoyed it: It's a SoL in an isekai, similar to that of Konosuba with the difference of having an overpowered and emotionally mature protagonist. The premise is refreshing for the Isekai genre, something that is much needed after years of SAO's plot being reused over and over again.
Why I disliked it: It's the same boring story embellished with more focus on the SoL elements. The characters are bland with very little personality and watching it is like watching a toddler friendly version of Konosuba.

I wanted to find something more relaxing for time being and this anime filled that space perfectly.
Anime doesn't have any complex story behind it and mostly it's about being with friends and building a communities where everybody can help each other.
Yuna which is main protagonist looks ridiculous and many people underestimate her but she knows how to surprise. Characters aren't shallow nor too deep so for now it is what it is it's mostly fine. Sound and Art are beautifully done and there is only very small amount of 3d noticeable if any.
Enjoyment and fun in this anime are really on high levels and if you want anime where you just can chill and not care about deeply political stuff or some more complex environment you will find yourself enjoying it too.
Overall i had to give it a…

To me it's your typical slice of life, trying to be an isekai by the writers. I would put it as designed for pre-teen and tween girls and maybe the odd furry.
The story is a simple one, the girl does not do much but plays the game, shut in the house, works from home, goes to sleep one night, doesn't wake up, but instead is in the VR world. A consistently overused idea.
Aiming it more at girls also cuts its audience for me, i am not saying a boy can't enjoy it, but would be looking for more ISekai generally and less Slice of Life. The simple fact is the girl is transferred all her account money from the real world to her new account, by a user labeled GOD as if she died.
As she goes to the new world she has a personality transplant from being a shut-in, doing what she has to, and then n…

I loved this! I wasn't really expecting to like this as much as I did but boi was I wrong. I finished it pretty quickly too. The characters are so adorable & have actual stories. Even tho this is a gaming anime, it's not smashed directly in your face 24/7 (even when Yuna uses her powers) it's really the 1st episode we get the most gaming shoved into our face. I highly recommend it, there's literally something here for everyone & a nice anime if you're wanting to try a gaming anime without it overpowering you. The only thing I wished we did get more of (so maybe we'll see more of it in the 2nd season) was real life. They address her issues with her family for like 10 mins then nothing else. So hopefully we see more next season.

It's 2020. Asocial zoomer and MMO addict gets transported to fantasy world. After getting filthy rich on crypto, GameStop and other WallstreetBets fun they can live the perfect life - near constant MMO grind in VR.
But this fun cannot last forever. Developers think this girl gets too much content out of her subscription and her refusal to spend any time on alts puts her way ahead in leaderboards. So they decided to turn her into a furry and isekai her (fortunately, notorious child murderer Truck-kun was not involved).
Kuma-chan arrives into a very generic fantasy world which has one quirk - even with all the magic and 15th century technology they haven't figured out how to transport eggs or catch chickens and raise them in cities. So several episodes are spend solving this stupid b. s.…

Its a good anime, but it’s really not one of the best. There are flaws Ive encountered while watching this.
Story is……. ok I suppose. Although there was “some” storyline, it felt so random and just plain short. There weren’t any badass fighting besides the Giant Snake or Gruzam’s revenge, which they look cool, but lasted only a few minutes, likely around 3-6. It’s not like a long 9 - 12 minute fight nor it has some power to it. Its more of a CHaracter have strong stats but dont use them, almost like you are showcasing your high-quality project to the whole class but you don’t like to show it because you’re shy
Artstyle is again on-par with other animes. There weren’t any issues with that and I’ve been saying this bullshit the same thing on other animes. 8 for that.
Sound is ok. No compl…

Isekai genre has been around to cement its own cliches.
The most prevalent is the PowerTrip, you're put into a different reality, but are given such an overwhelming advantage in one form or another that you literally are incapable of fucking anything up.
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear learned well of all the cliches, but I feel like they wanted to target all female audience that can't handle any sort of tension in a show.
***"Spoiler"(well, honestly there's no real plot in this show, so does this count as spoiler?)***
Main character receives a suit of joke armor that more or less makes her invincible. Ok, we've seen some shows like that right?
Then she goes off to the nearest town, and everyone starts fawning over her how magnanimous, strong and cute she is, and she can do all kinds of magic, a…

This anime is a great one to sit back and relax watching it.
The Art is great and fits the anime so well and looks great.
The overall sound I find I prefer the sub to the dub but love the voice's and music of both.
The characters are great and the comedy and reaction are great.
So overall I Enjoyed this anime a lot and would recommend it to anyone looking for an anime just to enjoy watch, as I love the comedy and find that i want more, so would love if there was more season which is great, just hope it gets another.
If it had more story and detail I would rate it 10 as my go to for a 10 for story is overlord as there is a lot of information you get but will read the manga when I have time as it must be great if the anime is this good

The story is uninspired and doesn't really capture my interest. It wasn't "bad" per say, but I never found myself wanting to see what happens next. The story really isn't that huge a point in the slice of life genre, so it doesn't surprise me to find it lacking in that area. It was pretty bland, 5/10.
The art is fairly well drawn, by no means was it mine blowing or exceptionally dynamic, but given the genre it was more than acceptable. I enjoyed looking at the show, and was never offended by the animation. Overall I thought that for a slice of life the animation was good. 7/10
The sound is a bit hit or miss. The soundtrack was inoffensive and pleasant, I don't think I'll go out of my way to add it to my collection of anime soundtracks, but it lent itself well to the laid back atmosphere…

This show is not serious in any sense of the word, it's a very cute and lighthearted romp through a fantasy world. If you like shows like In Another World with My Smartphone or Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody, you'll probably have a good time with this one too.
I give this show a 7/10. It doesn't do anything innovative and the story is a little lackluster at times, but it's overall solid and the art style is very nice, and extremely effective for what the show is trying to be. The show gets a lot of points from me for having likeable characters who you can't really help but love.

This is an odd one.
This anime is a bit of a rollercoaster. It has an amazing heroine, which is snarky, clever, makes jokes and uses deadpan humor. There are some nice fight scenes too, and great bear jokes, but....
The anime doesn't let the heroine to shine often. Instead it switches to "serious mode" from time to time, tries to push some sort of morality lesson, and all those moments are handled poorly.
Then it tries to make the viewer go "aww" by showing supposedly cute thing. That... also doesn't quite work well.
So we have a rollercoaster. Nice/cool moments mixed with mediocre and weak content.
Overall it is
5/10 Story
5/10 Art
5/10 Sound
6/10 Character
5/10 Enjoyment
5/10 Overall.
The reason why it gets six in character is because female lead can be great, and her voice actre…

the manga was far better than the anime. for some reason, the anime was rushed despite the manga and light novels both taking their time and explaining important foreshadowing details as they came. most of which were skipped in the anime. like in the very first episode, in both the manga and the light novel they actually explain what happens when she goes into town and is guided around in the anime it's a montage that gets skipped over and it doesn't even have a reason to be rushed. there was an episode that showed up nowhere in either the manga or the light novels that I can only describe as filler from what I can only assume is them cutting too many details to get to the ending point they wanted to achieve and then they flew over where I thought the story would stop and went to something…

I had very low expectations because I knew that Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear was aimed at a younger audience, around ages 4 to 13. Therefore, I am not surprised that it received a second season, since this type of series is very popular in Japan. We know that there is an adult audience that also watches and enjoys these kinds of shows, but if someone tries to convince you that this anime is a masterpiece, you should probably walk away with any excuse you can find, because they are seriously overselling it.
The story is mediocre and, at times, incredibly boring. The protagonist faces no real danger, either in the game world or in real life. The characters are uninteresting, and the same can be said about the world itself. The only aspect that deserves some praise—and it pains me to say this—is the…

This anime is pretty good. It's the typical bright, fun, and happy anime. It's been a good anime to watch in my leisure time.
The story is okay. I didn't expect much from the story, so far it's just a daily life of a girl who got stuck in another world with the secret of the world that is yet to be revealed. The conflict that occur is not that deep because so far the main character able to solve everything with ease.
The art portray a light and heartwarming atmosphere combine with decent animation which suit very well with the anime where the main character wish to create an environment where she can have the enjoyment of life that she's been longing.
Sound effect is pretty decent, personally I don't have any issue with it.
When comes to the character development, well, there isn't mu…

I was debating whether to give this anime an 8 or a 9. In the end, the cuteness got the best of me. If you're looking for a cute, enjoyable, soft anime, this is it. Nothing ever goes wrong, it radiates happiness all around.
In times when I was feeling kind of down, it really helped me get over stuff more easily. Not an anime to watch if you like cold anime with profound character development, or an amazing storyline depicting the reality of humankind.
This is not it, nor is it looking to be it.
This is not an anime that will change your life, it's a little enjoyable piece of entertainment that never fails to provide what it advertises. That's why I gave it a 9.
