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…

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…

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 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…

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.

An absolute masterpiece of outstanding animation, sound, and character design. Truly one of the only shows on this platform that deserve a score of "masterpiece". Many people go into this show expecting some sort of deep character development and inner revelation, but that is clearly not what this show is for. If you are looking for some excessive character development, go watch something like re-zero. This show is a wholesome, lovable series about a shy girl in a bear costume that gradually opens up to the people around her.
The story is exactly what it needs to be. Nothing more and nothing less. Although many people complain about the simplicity of the plot, I believe that the simple plot is what makes this show so amazing. It's less about bracing yourself for unexpected plot twists an…

This is another one of your generic isekai type animes but I'm not complaining it's a fun adventure with several nice characters and interactions and unlike most, this isekai has an original character and theme, Bears! I've got to say the art style is really to my taste and everyone looks super cute.
It's quite refreshing to have females as the main characters and not because they are sexualized or perverted or that funny to be brutely honest, it's mostly because of how kind and peaceful they are to one another except Yuna of course though she is kind I wouldn't exactly call her peaceful seeing as she defeats several monsters in impressive displays of magic.
This is a very comforting and easy-going anime with lots of pleasant moments and as most heroes in this genre do she uses her spec…

I found this anime a few months ago while looking at upcoming anime and saw this as a cute isekai that I would probably enjoy and not think too much about, but this was better than that. At first glance, it's your standard fantasy isekai that doesn't stand out much from the others, but if you give this anime a chance, you will find it is really wholesome. Every episode left me with a smile as I watched these characters develop and the main character help more and more people. 10 out of 10 would recommend. I can't wait for season 2, and will probably start reading the light novel this show was based on until then.

First, I underestimated this anime, and now I found this anime is enjoyable. From the title there's no gimmick in there, I mean Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear? What kind of weird title it is. But damn, I become attached to it.
The reason is.. maybe at some point I can relate to this anime. Like how the MC just want to do whatever she like. Now days our action will be judge like by "everyone" and we try hard to keep up with everyone expectation. But saw Yuna do whatever she want and be happy, damn, maybe that's how you enjoy ur life. She build a place where she can be what she want to be. And at that moment she realised how important that place, and want to protect it. Ed song is just hit that spot, especially the last episode ed!
Now how about the other aspect? Well let'…

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 reminded that 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 th…

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear is not a great story. But it doesn't try to be one.
It somehow starts to bait you into thinking that it might be a little dark, and maybe the Light Novels are darker - but the anime is not.
While it baits you into thinking something sinister might happen multiple times, usually you can spot the evil guys right away. The twist here is: Yuna, the protagonist can't - because she's biased.
Yuna lived a very boring life before getting isekaid. She was living alone and somehow earned money so she could send her parents on vacation so they wouldn't bother her. Maybe she was a child prodigy, whatever - it doesn't really matter: She was a nerd playing Videogames all day long.
And one day she gets isekaid into one of those games. And because it's an isekai she gets an op po…

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear is a weird blend of Isekai and Iyashikei genres.
The main protagonist, Yuna, is transported to another game-like world, where she is given an overpowered bear suit, which basically makes her a god of that new world. Due to this overpowerednes, parts that follow the Isekai route are a bit boring, although still quite enjoyable. There is some plot, and world-building but nothing out of the ordinary.
Yuna's bear suit and her lovely "pets" are a magnet for little kids who absolutely adore her, and she loves them even more. This part that follows their everyday peaceful life is pure enjoyment. Yuna's interactions with her army of cute friends are a joy to watch. The kids are all super nice and cute. Watching them having fun and eating many delicious dishes, really does hav…

I have never seen a show pull a 180 so fast and so effectively, I've to talk about it.
Honestly this show the previous 11 weeks used to be mindless fun, something to relax every wednesday morning, a charming protagonist helping people and learning how to interact with people, that was her only hurdle most of the season because in terms of power she started so strong in the alternate world that she didn't face anything on her level until her very last battle.
But that wasn't episode 12, episode 12 was completely different but also used the same elements it established since the first episode to deliver something beautiful.
Let me explain.
Yuna started as a loner that enjoyed being alone since episode 1, that was fine but it never looked like the show was gonna do anything with it, and I…

English:
Every season, there are anime with all girls like this anime, but it's all girls and anime reminds me of an anime like this, Bofuri, the anime is almost the same as the fantasy world where there are overpowered girls. This anime is good enough for you to fill in the time and also this anime is also good for family watching or you to watch with small children, because anime is family-friendly and doesn't have much action either, in my opinion, this anime is almost all about food.
Visuals and anime graphics are really good, I like the art and I really like the colorful ones, how about it, the sound is normal and for the characters, I think everything is almost the same like they all like bears and I really enjoy anime.
I still hope there will be more action and adventure. I don't…

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 to other 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…

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 has the 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 a…

Kuma Kuma bear was one of the wholesome surprises of the year.
Cute, cozy and a badass female MC, Kuma Kuma bear provided us with 12 weeks of quality anime. It managed to take a lot of traditional isekai tropes and throw them out the window. If you’ve ever strayed away from isekai because of generic OP MC’s, horrible plot logic or writing, harems, fan-service, etc., you will find something refreshing in Kuma Kuma bear.
What I really loved the most about this show is how it focused on the real implications of being transported to another world. Yuna has to provide for herself and ends up becoming an entrepreneur of sorts. A lot of isekai tend to skip over these details in favour of showing cool fights or introducing girls into the harem, which I also like, but it’s nice to have a change…

Over the past few years, there has been what some might call a glut of adorable low-stakes isekai/VRMMO shows with cute OP female protagonists going on fluffy magical adventures… and ‘Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear’ (DAH BEARS... just kidding. We'll call it '3KB') just might be the most cutest, fluffiest and adorable-est of them all.
Literally everything about this show is absolutely fucking precious. The music, the artwork, the characters, the adventures, and even the motherfuckin’ title - all of it will bombard your every sense with the purest essence of cute-itude. There is not a single moment in 3KB which is lacking in cuteness, even when the story presents a number of unpleasant situations. The viewing experience was so cute, light, fluffy and that I felt as though I was floating in the sky on…

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 until fairly 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 e…

With the global pandemic going on around the world right now, there’s one form of entertainment that is satisfying for millions and millions of people around the world: video games. Specifically, RPG of the MMORPG genre are real time sinks. We find out the easy way once 15-year old Yuna is introduced to the show. As an adventurer in the online game, World Fantasy Online, she is best described as the typical nerd at home.
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear is exactly what it sounds like. What it advertises is what you get and that is our main character dressed up in a bear outfit. It may seem like a peculiar trend but with the countless amount of fantasy shows in recent years, nothing surprises me anymore. Coming into this anime gave me the impression of playing a video game as we follow Yuna on her fant…
