We Bare Bears - Bären wie wir

A while back I made a review on this show and was overly enthusiastic, giving it a 10/10. It was kind of embarrassing so I'm going back to review it again. OK, so We Bare Bears is a show that aired last year on Cartoon Network. It's still going with a positive reception. The show is about three bears: Griz (a grizzly bear), Panda (a well Panda), and Ice Bear (a Polar Bear). They live in the sunny city of San Francisco as they try to fit in with society. The show's central theme is pretty relatable. We humans try to fit in with other humans and three bears trying to awkwardly fit in with them is pretty funny. When they're not trying to fit in, they're doing other weird things like getting tote bags or starting a food truck. It's basically a slice of life anime except it's not in Japan and the characters aren't school girls. I like this show a lot. The characters are pretty funny and relatable. My favorite bear has to be Panda. He's basically the bear equivalent to every otaku in the world and it's hilarious. He's probably the most awkward out of the bunch and I can't help but laugh with him. Oh yeah, the show has a unique premise I really like. It uses a lot of modern day references like smartphones and laptops, except when they mention them they feel, get ready for this, SUBTLE. They very clearly have a use for them and they don't shove them into the audiences' faces to act cool or modern unlike other cartoons. The art style and animation is also nice. It's cute and tame but maybe a bit too tame. I don't know, it looks too friendly at times but I guess that's only a nitpick. I also don't really like how some people in the show just act like jerks around the bears. Don't get me wrong, there are some nice people but I felt like at times some of society would act a bit too mean. So yeah, that's my thoughts on the show. It's one of the best shows on Cartoon Network and I'm glad it's in its family.

We Bare Bears stars three bear brothers, Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear, as they try to assimilate into human society.

So far the commercials and trailers look great. The show itself is a treasure. It obviously has a bright future and is bound to become one of Cartoon Network's greatest hits.

The comedy is appropriate and comes at the right times, great character development, good amount of drama for a children's show, and all around fun. It's one of best cartoons yet and is destined to fall into categories with hits such as, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Gumball, and more. This show is amazing, and you must watch it before you judge it. It would be horrible if someone mistakes this beauty as something less.

It is a fun cartoon. All the bears are likable and unique in their own ways. I would recommend this for children and teens

I didn't know what to expect when I first saw the trailer, but once I watched the first two episodes, I was giggling continuously.

The humor wasn't boring nor vulgar, and the three bears are a joy to watch (especially Panda, and Ice Bear with his one liners). The show doesn't immediately push these bears in-front of your faces (like a certain GO! show) and go: Haha! Look at them, aren't they funny?? No. They use their jokes, etc., at the right times.

I am looking forward to see more of these bears silliness, and maybe perhaps a little flashback of their past. I'm curious of how they found their home. Can't wait for more this week!

We Bare Bears is a delight.

An animated series appropriate for all ages with bits of character business? With character development? With unique story points and twists you never see coming? These kinds of qualities are more often praised as elements of a critically acclaimed live action drama. But they are part of these 9 minute mini-masterpieces. But if I say that, it will get your hopes up too high, won't it? So forget all that. It's funny. The characters are likable, the situations are interesting, the animation is clever without attracting attention to itself.

It Surprises me, every episode. It makes my jaw drop, every episode. It makes me laugh, every episode.

I'm a 56 year old guy with a love for classic Disney and Japanese animation and a taste for art flicks, and these "kids cartoons" are one of the 3 or 4 best things I've seen on TV in 2015.
