Shirokuma Café – 08

After a bit of a dip, Shirokuma Café is back on its game with a frequently hilarious episode. All the while during the brilliant first sketch, I kept thinking “This is exactly like one of those touching nature films narrated by Morgan Freeman”.  And sure enough, Polar Bear’s moving, heartwarming […] Read more

 Grizzly-san ED stays.  He’s bad to the bone. It occurs to me, watching this week’s Shirokuma Café, that Polar Bear may be one of the biggest trolls in anime since Prince Baka from Level E, and the puns are just the tip of the iceberg.  It’s the way he, Panda-kun […] Read more

Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side… Once you surrender yourself to the central conceit of Shirokuma Café, stuff like what happened in this week’s episode in almost at the level of genius.  This might have been my favorite ep so far, because it had a cohesiveness through […] Read more

Shirokuma Cafe – 05

I really wonder if the instincts will kick in at some point and Polar Bear will turn this series into Blood-C… Highlights this week: “Where’s the panda-only car?” Polar Bear’s minds-eye imagery for “waiting” (scary) “Parhay Hair” Mandill Parfaits.  Intense! Penguin-sans argument for Fish Parfaits – “Full of DHA!” Parfait […] Read more

Trying to explain what makes Shirokuma Café so funny is like trying to… Well, it’s hard.  But comedy is always hard to explain, and this is funny – at least to me.  Here’s what I laughed especially hard at this week: Penguin-san’s inability to “pinch zoom” his sumafo – and […] Read more

Zoo animals have problems, just like everybody else… Tough show to blog, this one.  I suspect even more than with most comedy, you’re either going to LOL, or wonder why the other person is.  For me, I laugh many times with every episode, and this one was no different.  The […] Read more

First rule of comedy – if you make me laugh, anything else is secondary.  And this show makes me laugh – a lot. I can’t say this is an easy show to write about, because it’s really just about the experience of watching it.  But any doubt I had that […] Read more

First Impressions – Acchi Kocchi, Sankarea, Shirokuma Café

Are you out there, Flower? Acchi Kochi – 01 If any series ever screamed out “4-koma slice of life” it’s this one.  I’ve seen it compared to Sketch Book and Lucky Star, but for me it’s not much like that show at all – much more light-hearted and less built […] Read more
