Rilakkuma et Kaoru

This is such a great short animated series that is surely to be added to your watch list.its heart warming to watch these characters make you understand simple things we experience in our lives. Go put it on and watch yourself melt away at this. Lana condors voice suits kaoru and has done a great job. The bears are just too cute. Hope a next season shows up,

If you want to just relax and feel stress free watch this show. It is endearing and the themes are great life lessons. The characters are adorable and heartfelt. I don't believe there is anything like it and you certainly won't find a show like this on cable or digital tv. 10 out of 10, hoping for a season 2!

This has got to be my favorite Netlifx Original. The characters are extremely cute but each theme in every episode is surprisingly adult-targeted (depression, loneliness, finances). Watch this if you want to relax or just have something with a really nice and playful atmosphere.

Accompanied by two cute bears and an adorable bird, audiences can not only look into various social issues represented by a short story in each episode but explores individuals' identity and position in the fast-paced, overwhelming and complicated modern world through the eyes of the show's female protagonist. No matter how mundane and tiring life is, is it pleasant and comforting to know that there are always two lovely bears and an adorable bird for you to come home to.

Actually so endearing. charming stop-motion animation. i was aware that rilakkuma was a character before this show, and was initially put off by the fact that he's the face of very "cutesy" merchandise, but this show doesn't give that impression at all. kid friendly, but some of the themes and humour may be a little *whoosh* for young children.

the only thing i wasn't too fond of were the "romance" bits, kaoru's lovey-dovey fawning over guys. it's just a bit too stock for me, and not really explored with the subtle charm that's done for other themes or life experiences.

watched the first episode in english, switched to japanese original with english subtitles from the 2nd one on and it's a lot better for me.
