[Anime] Yuri Kuma Arashi (Winter 2014/2015)
0
This is going to be a interesting combination; an anime title combining the yuri genre with bears. Yes, you read that right - bears!
In the distant universe, an asteroid "Kumaria" exploded and its fragments fell to earth, causing bears to turn violent. To prevent further bloodshed, a huge wall was built to separate humankind and bearkind.
Tsubaki Kureha and Izumino Sumika are two female students who are about to fall into a forbidden(?) yuri relationship. Yurishiro Ginko and Yurigasaki Lulu are bears disguised as humans who wander into the latter's society. Will the war between humans and bears come to an end?
PV3, the most detailed version released:

To be honest, "Yuri Kuma Arashi" isn't the genre of anime which I will usually watch. But the presence of bears interest me. :D
P.S. Happy New Year, my fellow Fakku members!

This one might be right up your alley Gambler.Definitely. I will be watching it for the bears, if not the yuri fanservice.

This will either be bear-tastic or un-bear-able. Ohh... Puns.-DarkdaemonPK2
I like puns, especially bear-related ones.

I'm a fan of anything Yuri and anything done by Morishima Akiko (Artist for the manga, they adapt the anime to match that) so I'll watch it for the Yuri but....IT'S FUCKING WEIRD. More so than the manga since they aren't following it's plot...at all really. It's still interesting in it's crazy for the sake of crazy. Though that might be the directors fault more than anything since he's known for 'symbolism' that he uses quite often. Then again it isn't like the plot isn't very odd anyway.
I'm rambling. Point is I'm going to stick with it for as long as I can before I say the fan service isn't enough to keep me enticed in the series.

The first episode was meh. Still yuri and three episodes rule.
The second episode was a way too repetitive, but good enough to watch it.
The third episode was very good, marking good enough to follow the show until end.
The fourth episode was annoyed by little brother, but still good.
The fifth episode was SO lulz! Also DAT end!
The sixth episode... WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY... and... OH MY GAO ENDING.
The seventh episode was so sweet and charming... and putting interesting enough things in the way.
The eighth episode... OH MY KUMARIA.
Basically the show vastly surpassed my warm expectations and at this rhythm is hitting really high in my list of best shows.
I hate symbolism, and yet the director this time is applying it a few times more practical and friendly. Most the symbolism is there just to give you a chance to guess what will happen later and feel really cool when you do. With a friend we've guessed right after brainstorming three whole episodes by analyzing the symbolic tips here and there. Aside that the remaining symbolism is mainly a mockery of Class S relationships, that hey, that isn't that bad, nobody has really scoffed them before, and some thrashing about how society sucks. Ok, Ikuhara didn't ruined my yuri at the end even if I was fearing that with the firsts episodes.
As for fanservice come, I'm happy with it. I just don't like forced fanservice and I have not seen that much of it to feel my immersion killed. And the remaining fanservice is quite enjoyable... Ok, the opening is good, specially the singer's voice... *melts*. Ok, the giant dick flower full of honey sucks. Coquette bear dresses scores really good. Yurizono made me wet twice (her sexy voice...) and I can continue more but I guess I made my point.
Finally the yuri itself. Frankly I think it's a really good show regardless that, but to be honest I love a lot my gay stuff on it. Lulu fills the show with so much love I melt. Ginko is so cool I melt. Kureha's harem... Ok, I love seeing a MC with a lesbian harem. You see a lot of conflicts, troubles and so caused by the difference between Class S and true yuri, too, so the show wouldn't be the same without my gay stuff (that after all feels genuine, in a way or other, even if at the start didn't).
Also I like a lot Life Sexy, Life Cool and Life Beauty, they really balance the show in a good way.
TL;DR: Gao, gao.
Note: I love more the Ending to be honest, I'm learning to sing it~! ❤. I really like it, >//<.

Ugh, it looks like the 8.5 is just a special with the voice actors, director and mangaka that most likely will not be translated. Dat Ikuhara troll and day buy of time to animate more. *Sigh*. (There are chances that we'll get at least a preview of the new episode).
