Severe quality drop. Is half the animation staff on vacation or something?

And it was really fucking weird to see llama sitting on the stool. (during the 2nd story) Doesn't he usually stand at the bar?

Noticed the quality drop too, was surprised when I saw Sasako's face up close, seemed like a phone in episode though some jokes were funny

Shirokuma Cafe is going to take 2 week break, episode 39 going to be aired on 10th January.

I guess the staff want to start their vacation earlier. Hoping the quality improves or at least back to normal after the break.

Already noticed the quality drop last week, but it was more prominent this episode. Still funny though, I loved the nod to Arrietty (and Penguin cutting it off because of the copyright) but I didn't get the reference of the first copyright joke. Something about a dimensional portal or something?
Ara ara.

Ahh, okay. I was about to ask about that myself.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

I would love a new vacuum as a prize. As long as I can use it to clean my house and not the cafe I'm eating at. :P Somehow I didn't foresee that Panda would manage to suck himself up with it. xD; And once again, poor tired Grizzly. :P

Um no, he always did sit on the stool as far as I remember. Penguin-san even asked him once how he sits down and he replied something like, "You shouldn't be asking that" (since nobody has seen Penguin-san get on the stool either).

Boo to quality drop in animation. Loved everything else though. Grizzly got woken up again... lol. Panda is annoying.

Animation quality definitely suffered for the past couple of episodes, but I thought they were great otherwise. Man I'd love to have Grizzly and Handa help me clean lol, they're so spirited! :P Either way it was nice to wrap things up for them, I guess even now when I'm watching it's getting close to Christmas and New Year as well :3

I'll be another to agree with the noticeable drop in animation quality. Polar Bear and Llama looked especially jank this episode. And yet, without thinking, I still gave it a decent rating...higher than a few other episodes. I guess I care more about the content than the visuals for this show.
