(L+CR) Yuri Kuma Arashi

[Used Can]

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...a-arashi-anime

The newest part of the "Penguinbear Project" has been announced in the latest Ikuhara related event. The new show is named "Yuri Kuma Arashi". It's about a girl named Kureha and her life with two... bears who turned into girls. A PV for the new series was shown in that event.

A summary of the PV can be found here:
http://yuuki101percent.hatenablog.co...3/03/24/051344

Spoiler for This is a translation I found on /a/ for the summary of the PV:

From what I was able to get with my poor Japanese skills is that the PV starts with these lines:

>Are you "YURI"?
>Is that a sin?
>The "YURI" trial begins.

The MC's name is Kureha. It seems she has a dislike for bears, for whatever reason. She saves some bear from a truck accident, but ends up pulling some assault weapon out of nowhere and shoots the bear dead. The dead bear splits into two.
The words "The meeting that wasn't meant to be, between a person and 2 bears," "Miraculous meeting," and "Unforgivable mistake" are shown.

A spinning 3D object rolling around with the words 「罪Guilty」 (Guilty of sin) is shown.

Anyhow, later on those 2 bears turned into human girls. One is named Ginko and the other one Ruru. They went to live together with Kureha, and in the PV they are shown getting naked, taking a bath together and hugging while doing so. The one writing the entry described it as erotic.

It seems that while the bears can transform into humans, they-re not yet humans but they want to become humans.

There's also a trial, in which the scene itself seemed like the summoning of the PotC in Penguindrum - you know, some whacky atmosphere. The judges are 3 men.

The words "365 days until the fated kiss" "YURI acknowledgment" were said and they're sealed with a bear stamp. The PV ends there.

Anyhow, that's it. I think the PV sounds interesting and I'm eager to see it.

I found a translation of Interview with Ikuhara that came from /a/ (
archive.moe/a/thread/115076706/yuri-kuma-arashi )
Well, actually it's from 2ch.

From 2ch:
About the pantsu:
He was in doubt about how much to show. After talking to both man and women, the woman said "I think you'd better show them". He tried on that PV and became convinced.

Ikuhara's family was watching the talk show.

About the comic: The story from the show would be difficult to translate into manga, so they will be completely different, but they will use each other's work as a source of inspiration.

Q.What is Yuri Kuma Arashi?
Yuri = "the type that's hard to explain to your family"
It's a story about yuri meating scary bears.
"Like a sushi man meeting a space fisherman meeting a mole person, it's an unbelievable combination"
The bears are cute in the PV but scary in the show.

But this combination works well with yuri.

Q. But why bears?
Because bears are in right now.
Yuri Kuma Arashi is a story about Yuri meeting bears and causing a storm.

About the characters:
Yurishiro Ginko CV Arakawa Miho
She's a bear that eats people.
Ikuhara's tastes are reflected in her appearance.
Ikuni is more worried about the silhouette than the details.
He wants the characters to br easy to identify when he makes them an all black silhouette.
There's a secret hidden in the bear hands.
Arakawa was chosen in an audition.
With some of the image of his previous work remainjng, he's asking her to make the character interesting.
She's so eccentric you'll go "Uh?"
There's a mistery hidden in the text of the character image.

Yurisaki Ruru CV Ikuta Yoshiko
She loves honey.
She originated from hearing the opinions of women.
Because a character that women wouldn't like would be bad for this kind of show.
He also worried a lot about the silhouette and let kthers figure out the details.
Especially the contrast between the haircuts and bust sizes were important to distinguish Ruru and Ginko's silhouettes.

When Ikuhara firs saw oppai mousepads he thought they were a great invention, and was jealous that in his works there was no character with big boobs.
He wants an oppai mousepad of one of his characters.
She's the type of girl other girls like.
*this part was still about Ruru, got confused because of the way it was edited*

Tsubaki Kureha
Yamane was selected by audition.
She's a cool person.
Izumino Sumika is both her friend and lover.
Sumika still hasn't been revealed but she's the director's favorite character.
Producer: "Just wait to see her casting."

Plot synopsis

Once upon a time, far away in space, the planetoid Kumaria exploded.
The splinted Kumaria turned into a meteor shower and fell on Earth, somehow casing bears to at once rise up and attack humans! [Humans vs. Bears] bears ate humans, humans shot bears, an endless flow of hate and war. Finally, a giant "wall of division" was erected between humans and bears, and they went into a truce...

The human world.
One morning, students from Arashigaoka school, Tsubaki Kureha and Izumino Sumika where looking at the "yuri flowers" that blossomed in the flowerbed. The two are friends, as well as lovers. The flowerbed was an important place for them. They stare into each other's eyes. At that moment, the "bear alert" rang loudly! Bears had infiltrated the human world, and attacked a human!

Who are these bears...? Mysteries bring more mysteries in a torrent! Yuri Kuma Arashi starts fabulously!
