So is this on Funimations crappy rear end site yet? I can't find the actual page for it, if it even exists; just announcements.

Nope. The rumblings on my Twitter from Zac on ANN seems to indicate it's being "delayed-cast"

Which, well, is probably going to lose Funimation a whole bunch of viewers to fan subs. Apparently for the territories CR got it, airing no problem!

At least looking at the #yurikuma tag is fairly amusing. It seems we've got an Ikuhara bingo already. :v:

If its any consolation, I'm 18 minutes into the actual episode and there has been no fanservice whatsoever outside of the intro. The acid though hits really hard at the 17 minute marks. I'm tripping balls.

The music is fantastic.

yeah if that's your game i dont care but don't go 'it's not that bad!!!' or 'actually, the artistic intent...'

just say your watching the show with the underage girls getting naked and licking each other's feet in the op. you dont need to make excuses. just do that.

Honestly, if you could deal with penguindrums first episode then you'll be able to deal with this as well. Penguindrums apparent (at the time) incestuous overtones were worse than the phallic flower imagery in this and the princess step by step clothing scenes were worse than Ginko's and Lulu's transformation.

The show is so yuri it hurts. Its a borderline parody until your love interest is kidnapped, and apparently mauled and eaten by a pair of bears

Ok that op is not even trying to mildly construe itself as figurative. It's just straight up underage naked girls licking each others toes.

Yeah...

I think I'll just check back in on this later, in case things somehow turn out to not be that bad.

It'll eventually be on Funimation (or various non-UK European countries on CR), I'm not sure about Canadian availability.

I'd like to actually watch the stupid episode because there has to be some middle ground between s-s-s-sex :ohdear: and Ikuhara can do no wrong :colbert:
Also, the OP mainly just made me laugh.

Crunchyroll already posted their international versions of the show so if you know spanish/french/german then you can watch it.

Sakurazuka posted:

Per the ending, Ikuhara didnt even make the OP. His assistant director + character designer did.

He did make the ending, which so far consists of a single image zooming out while a bear dances in the corner.

That makes a lot more sense given that the character designer seems to be a bit more lewd than Ikuhara from what I can tell.

Did you watch the one that was translated from crunchy's German subs and then into English? Since according to twitter that's a thing that happened.
