| Aw, this is back but just as cute as the previous season as I remember. Seeing Yuna and Fina back on the television screen is a cute sight to see, along with her bear friends. Tbh, seeing Yuna's face of smiles is wonderful again this season. She did face off against monsters already in this season premiere but I think she can manage, just like she always does. |

| After 2 years, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear is back, providing more punches than ever before. Yuna and Fina make a grand return back to the Crimonia Kingdom, where honey-soaked beary pancakes made by Morin are the hot new thing at Yuna's restaurant Bear Haven. But the honey itself is a problem of the source, because it' not only popular, but children love it. Instead of the usual beehive, it's a bee tree that has monsters like orcs (and a horde of them) stopping people from harvesting honey. Only Yuna can stop them, and for the first time in her life, seeing bears being beaten by orcs, the odds are high that Yuna wants to be lazy. But with the presence of children cubs, that's the nail in the coffin that has Yuna punching her way down the orcs, and the bears being the beekeeper's protection monsters, giving her honey for saving their skin, that's governed by Lord Cliff. A visit by Cliff and Noir to discuss matters, while Noir spends time with Fina and Misa's letter knowing that she's well, Cliff discusses with Yuna about Ellalura and Flora's business with her in the royal capital, and it's the same that it has ever been, plus the bear picture book that got its continuation that is insanely popular because of Flora promoting all around. Ellalaura still has the uneasiness that Yuna's beary instinct is strong at, and indeed, it's guarding the Academy's students on their field trip. But whatever Yuna snuffs, Ellalaura can sense it, though she concedes to her requests just for this one time. A good return so far. |

| For me, this was the most anticipated show of the season. I have missed Yuno, Fina, Kumayuru, and Kumakyu so much. <3 Great first episode. All the cuteness was more than I could bear. So many cute characters and interactions. ^^ Nom nom. Those honey-soaked bear pancakes looked delicious. It would be cool to see Yuno teaming up with Maple from BOFURI. They could do some real damage together. |

In addition, this honey supplier issue is really serious. The honey bender also seems to be having problems. The honey supplier who was supposed to be sent to the city is blocked by monsters. It's not honey from bees, but from honey trees. I can't even imagine hundreds of thousands of bees living inside that tree.[/font] |
| The anime with the most imaginative name is back. And right off the bat we're greeted with bear, cuteness and a sweetness overload lol Seriously, how many shots of those pancakes did they want to show us? I'm craving some myself now. Was that lowkey an ad for a store offering bear pancakes or what? XD |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Real anime is finally back lets gooo. Man kuma kuma takes me back to that loaded Fall 2020 season, great memories. So good to be back with the girls and in the world. First episode was basically everything we’ve come to expect and love from this series. Can’t wait for next week |
 |
| so nice to see Yuna and everyone again! saved the bears and get honey. Mission complete. |
| much waited 1st ep of 2nd season.can't wait for next weeks sugary feast. |
 |
| Welcome back, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear! It's nice to see all the characters back and getting to see more of Shia-san is always a plus, lol. I'm curious to see what this season has got in store for me, I honestly thought 1st season ended on a pretty good note. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Can someone give me a recap of season 1? |
 |
| Bear... Bear.. Beeeaarr.... Kuma Kuma Kuma!!! Its back. lets go! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| I don't remember much about S1, specially a lot of the characters but it is always nice to see more happy and colorful shows. |
| Not expecting much from the show itself but it was nice to see Yuna in her bear outfit again. Still don't like how her bear summons look. |
| I haven't watched the first season, but I gave this 2nd season first ep. a try, very cute episode, I think I'll catch up with the first season and keep watching. |

| Drinking challenge: Take a shot each time someone says "bear" in this show. |
 |
| They were really disrespectful is what they were asking of her. The King should've at least offered to pay her for her recipe AND for the book since they want to distribute it. |
| Oh the bear girl is back |
 |
| the mini versions of Yuna's bears are sooooo cute! and they're adorbz to boot! lol |
       |
Piromysl said: I think she did actually use "bear" in English once. lolDrinking challenge: Take a shot each time someone says "bear" in this show. |
| Having this, Tonikawa, Alice Gear Aegis, the return (hopefully) of Kubo-san, and whatever other sleepers are out there, is spoiling the big part of me that loves slice of life. Eating good this season. |
 |
| op 1st ep. excited for next episodes. |
|
| It's finally here! Good to see all the characters back, also kind of wonder what this season is mostly about. |
 |
| Yay, the strongest Kuma is back. She's helping her friends too in episode one, awesome. Need more moments of Yuna & Fina though. |
| Yayayay Kuma bear is back! A very nice return indeed. |
 |
They look like newlyweds ^_^ |
| Finally S2 , I love this anime so much ❤️ Seeing Yuna-chan again cured my sadness 🥰 I watched the 1st ep right after posting it at the 3rd April but forgot to mention it 😆  |
| Me gusto el inicio de esta segunda temporada. |
 |
| I can't believe this infantile shit is popular enough to get S2. |

Franz_Furantsu said: Yep, you must do it. its a nice series. and if you have the chance too, try the original source and read the Light Novels. I haven't watched the first season, but I gave this 2nd season first ep. a try, very cute episode, I think I'll catch up with the first season and keep watching. there is a lot have not fully adapted from them into anime. Not sure in Manga. but not definitely by the anime. as an e.g.; the first Ep in Season 1, "the Black Vipper Hunt" happens in Volume 2 "Chap 39 "The Bear goes Snake Slaying" to Chap #41. Where Yuna found the Eggs that later bring to the town. |

| Finally, my/our lovely Yuna is back in action! I'm glad to see another favourite of mine to get a sequel. KUMA KUMA KUMA BEAR PUNCH!!! A mouthful title but it isn't a tongue-twister kind of title. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Finally, the second season is launching! I actually almost forgot the story but it's still quite interesting to watch this first episode. |

shiger said: Hi Shiger, sorry for the late reply, I watched too many series this spring season so I haven't watched Kuma Bear S1 yet, but now that it endend I can say that I absolutely loved this S2 and my first impressions were right, I loved it since the 1st ep. to the last, I will surely read the LN and manga in the future.Masrifqi96 said: it start from Volume 5th, chap. #108 "The bear eats pancakes" to chapter #114 "the Bear is asked for something by Ellelaura"What volume is in the novel for season 2?

| Still cute still wholesome. Not like a recap but feels like a refresher ep with a huge chunk of characters showing up briefly to remind us what they do and who they were. |

Spent the last week binging kuma s1
S1 Rambling:
But general thoughts is that, in a sense kuma I like because its a lot like an anime i would like. I heard s1 skipped or rushed a few events but hmm.
There's some interesting names in the voice cast.
Anyway on to the actual episode
So we start out with more food as usual, to be expected
Though I wasnt expecting things to take such a dramatic turn so quickly. Its kind of funny how story convenience means we didnt get to see any of these in s1, though I guess there was more important stuff to do
Its been so long since yuna used her healing magic way back at the start of s1 that I completely forgor she even had it.
It is kind of interesting though, since yuna while she is totally strong and overpowered, she is not completely like the other isekai protagonists that just steamroll. Although you could argue that for better or worse fighting is not the main premise of this anime, and its more like a slice of life with some action, or a mix. (I heard the ln spends more time on the action scenes though)
Its kind of funny how they just casually cut to the capital as if we dont know its (supposed to be) a multi day journey. Not sure how yuna is going to be able to hide the bear gate forever though.
Quite a lot happened this ep, they basically tried to have every character show up
(how exactly are they gonna copy a picture book of all things though)
Sounds like shia is going to be showing up next ep.
From the OP, I thought there was already a TON of characters from s1, but it seems they're gonna be introducing even more??
It's kind of funny since s1 ep 12 had this whole thing about fina because yuna was too busy.
(S1 seemed? to be pretty popular, but from what I see so far s2 seems to not be quite as popular for some reason. Maybe just timing or everyone who watched s1 forgor)

CocoaGalaxy said: (one thing I still haven't figured out is why is there three kuma in the name? at first i thought it was a joke, but it just seems to be three kuma and if there is I dont get it) This I can answer. Kuma literally means bear. In Japanese, the title is くまクマ熊ベアー. So the first kuma (くま) is written in hiragana, the second kuma (クマ) is written in katakana, and the third kuma (熊) is written in kanji. The English word 'bear' is written in katakana (ベアー). In other words, the title literally means bear 4x. |
