I was not intending to watch this show, but I thought I'd check out the first episode and I'm damn glad I did, because it was good fun. Loved the job interviews, and that panda is SUCH a slacker!

"I'd totally go with the tuna boat."

I wasn't sure about this, but the alchemy totally worked - for one episode at least. That cast doing that material is just funny - and some of the humor was pretty smart, too.

It's cuteee.

First episode is pretty decent imho.

Xellos-_^ · 2012-04-06, 19:49

love ep1, i was thinking i will only be watching Fate this season but this series is great.

and Jun Fukuyama was terrific, he really capture the essence of his character well.

mochichan · 2012-04-06, 20:53

Will probably be bored with this after some ep but so far..this shizz is just so damn adorb <3

jeroz · 2012-04-06, 22:33

biggest surprise for me this season so far.

Well ... finally got around to watching ep 1.

Hmm ... not quite sure what to make out of this one as well.

The polar bear puns and penguin tsukkomi interchanges were the best part of the series for me, but honestly I wondered what the show was about. Is it not meant to have any overiding plot or such, like Acchi Kocchi doesn't seem to have? If so that's fine, but somehow I wonder if Shirokuma Cafe actually has some kind of story/plot under it all?

Ah well. Will watch future eps....

Watching for the voice cast alone! Epi 1 was very cute. I loved how Polar Bear kept wanting Panda to get the tuna boat job.

It's slice of life so thinking itll have the running jokes along with episodic stuff. I like the interactions btwn the animals so far.

Guardian Enzo · 2012-04-10, 12:05

Yeah, "I'd totally go for the tuna boat" was my favorite line of the ep...

White Manju Bun · 2012-04-12, 10:49

On epi 2, something about a penguin, a girl, a llama and a panda all dressed as pandas made me laugh out loud.

"Change everything back." -Shirokuma

I busted a gut on this episode; Penguin got real drunk, earned his beer goggles right in.

Nice hearing that nata de coco is mentioned here (and I thought it was a passing fad).

To everyone avoiding this show because of the premise - trust me, it's not what you're expecting. Please give it a chance and be ready to laugh your asses off.

I didn't really laugh my ass off though,even if I really really wanted to because I was looking forward to this.

The only part that got to me in episode 1 was the "tuna" part and the end with the absurdity of a panda working at a zoo.

So I'm really on the fence about giving episode 2 a shot.

sa547 · 2012-04-12, 14:17

Go for it, frere. Probably the best comedy I watched since Azumanga Daioh.

mochichan · 2012-04-12, 15:45

THE PANDA IS FREAKING ADORABLE <33333

Spoiler for cute<3:

Kirarakim · 2012-04-12, 18:00

The fact that Panda collects panda stuff, okay I think I died

Also I really hope Penguin gets with that girl he likes.

kyouray · 2012-04-12, 18:45

That's sure a relaxing show. It's also pretty nice and this animal design is refreshing.

I really enjoy the OP and to quote Blue-kun :

Guys... Shirokuma OP is too good. It has a panda car, penguin jet and polar bear airplane. And キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!!! in the lyrics. Badass.

Episode 2 fell a bit empty and flat.... maybe the first episode raised the expectations too high.

But I am not giving it up yet, lets see where the next epi is taking this series. I totally like the panda mother and how she is giving him the vacuum cleaning punishment. Thats really cute!!!!!

ars89 · 2012-04-12, 19:27

Some nice funny moments again. Don't know why but i was laughing so hard when Panda was wearing a panda outfit in the cafe. Polar Bear can sure dance. Penguin is great drinking buddy to have.
