Yuri Kuma Arashi episode 1: I really enjoyed Mawaru Penguindrum (in fact I have the entire series on DVD), so naturally I'll give this a try.
It's... crazy, so far. We have lesbians, we have bears, we have symbolism out of the whazoo, and why was Kureha's mother in the picture wearing the same necklace that the dark bear was wearing?
I think it's far too much of a rush of ideas though. Penguindrum was at least a slow burn for a couple of episodes, it was quite grounded compared to this. Some more exposition on the world would have been nice.
Also I think I would have appreciated the first episode more if the stream I was watching wasn't really bad quality with some of the worst subs I've seen in a while. The show is confusing enough, and is bound to get even more so.
