Argumento de Polar Bear Cafe

By darkboris on Apr 21, 2012 - See all reviews by darkboris

Es una se esas series que tratan sobre la vida de un grupo de animales, en las cuales un oso se aburre de la vida en un zoológico y decide viajar para cumplir sus sueños, empezando por construir su propio negocio, el cual es una cafetería, en la cual distintas personalidades se reúnen a diario pues este oso gusta de contar chistes e historias muy cómicas, me parece buena el drama de la historia ...

Alright! Terrible Job! That's what you were going for, right?

By patrickCB on Apr 26, 2012 - See all reviews by patrickCB

The premise is the only thing this show has going for it, and it doesn't hold up long; to that point, the plot itself is nothing more than an establishment of the premise followed by a stream of boring vignettes. The artwork is interesting enough to warrant a moment's attention, but the animation doesn't take it anywhere. Any studio in Japan can animate characters talking while standing still from ...

The premise is the only thing this show has going for it, and it doesn't hold up long; to that point, the plot itself is nothing more than an establishment of the premise followed by a stream of boring vignettes. The artwork is interesting enough to warrant a moment's attention, but the animation doesn't take it anywhere. Any studio in Japan can animate characters talking while standing still from dull, flat camera perspectives. Unless those are meant as a meta-criticism of the flat, annoying characters? In which case, I would suggest writing more interesting characters and better jokes instead of doing a bad job and then poking fun at it by doing an even worse job. More likely, though, the team behind this show just did a bad job. Really bad job all around, Polar Bear Café! Congratulations?

Worth a try no matter who you are.

By PandorasTemptation on May 10, 2012 - See all reviews by PandorasTemptation

This show won't change your world views, but it's undoubtedly one of the best anime of the year. It's basically a comedy slice-of-life about a panda (named Panda) who works part time at the zoo and his friends at the Polar Bear cafe (run by Polar Bear the polar bear. Getting the naming scheme yet?). It's completely family friendly. You could suggest this to anyone, no matter their age, and they ...

This show won't change your world views, but it's undoubtedly one of the best anime of the year. It's basically a comedy slice-of-life about a panda (named Panda) who works part time at the zoo and his friends at the Polar Bear cafe (run by Polar Bear the polar bear. Getting the naming scheme yet?). It's completely family friendly. You could suggest this to anyone, no matter their age, and they could enjoy it. The characters have very distinct personalities, and they're fun to watch. There's not a lot to animate, but the animation style of the animals is very realistic, life like, well done, and pleasant to watch. Without a doubt, one of the main reasons to watch this is the cute animals doing cute things. It causes your brain to melt, like watching a puppy playing or a bunny scratching its nose. It's just plain adorable. But the cuteness is just icing on the cake. Polar Bear Cafe's greatest asset is its comedy. The jokes are original and varied. Whether it's Polar Bear's puns and general trolling, Penguin's bad luck with female penguins, Panda's narcissism, the visual jokes, or the more subtle and mature ones, I guarantee you will find something to laugh at.

Give this a try, no matter who you are. It's great coming home from a long day, sitting down and cheering up to an episode of Polar Bear Cafe.

Polar Bear Cafe is a great anime

By polarbear226 on May 16, 2012 - See all reviews by polarbear226

Polar bear Cafe is a very funny and original anime. It is about a lazy panda bear who works at a zoo part time and his friends, Polar bear who owns the cafe and Penguin who is a regular at the cafe. Each episode is different, some are more about Panda and some are about all of the animals. It is an excellent anime and I hope it has many more episodes.

Animal Lovers BEWARE! <3

By Tri-BorgDog on May 31, 2012 - See all reviews by Tri-BorgDog

A great anime if you're a animal lover like myself! You'll enjoy every moment and each character actually has a role and talks! Originally, I wasn't going to watch it because I'm very supicious of any show that has talking animals and usually, they end up putting each indivisually speices as stupid as rumors say.

But this has an exception!

Each ceature has it's own personality with those of it's species! If you get the chance, watch the show, for Panda's sake!

Can I go to Polar Beear Cafe?

By teesabeesa on May 31, 2012 - See all reviews by teesabeesa

This anime is so cute! I love all the characters. Really was not sure what to make of everything at first with talking animals mixed in with humans. It works out in a nice original sort of style. I loved finding little cafe's like Polar Bear runs while I lived over in Japan and I would have loved to have found a place like his while I lived there.

Character design is really interesting too. ...

This anime is so cute! I love all the characters. Really was not sure what to make of everything at first with talking animals mixed in with humans. It works out in a nice original sort of style. I loved finding little cafe's like Polar Bear runs while I lived over in Japan and I would have loved to have found a place like his while I lived there.

Character design is really interesting too. Panda has no obvious eyes and neither does Penguin, but you don't need them. They are so cute and expressive without that I think is shows some serious skill on the side of the animators.

Really if you like cute and slice of life, you are going to adore this series. Killer cuteness!

Strange and alluring, different and fresh!

By DavidStrife7 on Jun 16, 2012 - See all reviews by DavidStrife7

After reading the title, I laughed and thought; "Ye... why not :P".

Best decision ever!
Turns out this is a real hidden gem, if you can get past the very awkward first 2 episodes, where it takes a while to build momentum in terms of both characters and events then this anime becomes a nice, relaxing viewing.

This isn't for people who want excitement or fast paced thrills, this is very much ...

This isn't for people who want excitement or fast paced thrills, this is very much what I would call "an anime you show your parents". It's a mixture of "slice of life" and generally relaxing low-key nature.

The humour is pretty sophisticated too, there's the occasional playful joke, but there's also some very matured ones too that slowly establish themselves as canon in the series.

I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to watch an anime that has a unique style to it, and enjoys slow paced and almost Ghibli like pacing.
