Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear

After fanatically playing the VRMMO World Fantasy Online for almost a year, the shut-in yet relatively affluent 15-year-old Yuna receives a bear costume from the game's administrators. The outfit, while somewhat embarrassing to wear, turns out to have overpowered stats and effects that make her character significantly more powerful. After accepting the bear equipment, she finds herself transported to another in-game world that prevents her from returning to reality.

Confused and unable to log out, Yuna sets out to explore this new environment. She rescues a girl named Fina from wild wolves, who then guides her to the city of Crimonia. With her eccentric bear attire, however, Yuna stands out wherever she goes, and alongside her boosted fighting prowess, her reputation quickly rises—to the point that people give her the nickname "Bloody Bear."

Undeterred by this change in her life, Yuna decides to take on the role of an adventurer and fully enjoy herself in her new world.

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 Iyashikei, which is probably why I love this show so much.

Mixed Feelings

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.

Not Recommended

I had my expectations to the ground because I knew that Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear was aimed at an audience of 4 to 13 and I am not surprised that it has a second season because this type of tea is very popular in the Japanese, we know that there are An adult audience that washes and if you see a year that invites you to see this anime even if it is a girl if you do not like it, leave with any excuse because that person is crazy and is selling you stinky skunk smoke because: the story is mediocre, bore 1000 ... % the protagonist does not have any danger as in the game or in real life, all the characters are not interesting like the world the only thing that could give him a point that pains me a lot is for the animation that is well cared for so much wasted talent and If anyone likes this type of story, what I can recommend is the anime Itai no wa Iya nano by Bougyoryoku and Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu.
