There was also a special We Bare Bears lecture with the show’s creator – Daniel Chong and with the show’s supervising director – Manny Hernández. During the lecture, both Daniel and Manny talked about how the show was developed from a web comic (Three Bare Bears) into a full animated series produced by Cartoon Network Studios. Some concept artwork were shown and there was an interesting fact that was shared about the show’s popularity in South Korea – the three bears, Grizzy, Panda and Ice Bear appeared as mascots during a baseball game in South Korea.
What is the appeal of this show? It just seems like the blandest possible unfunny slice of life trash.
David Edwards
It's comfy.
Isaac Carter
Getting to see well-meaning, but socially challenged animals fuck around and struggle to fit in with people.
Chase Peterson
It's fun and comfy
Brody Carter
In the new episode, something struck me as off. Kyle was able to identify the eucalyptus tree in Nom Nom's mansion as the only they used to climb in their childhood, which Nom Nom confirmed. Kyle was supposedly faking it, but based on how the news reporter asked Nom Nom about how his family felt about his success despite Nom Nom not knowing where his family is or who they are, he hasn't revealed much about his past, so how did Kyle know that was the tree Nom Nom used to climb?
Juan Watson
How sexy are the mascots? Asking for a furend
Ethan Ramirez
>bare bear bullshit It's truly horrible that the only good current CN series are Gumball and Villainous (the short series) and those don't get even the slightest recognition from the public domain. Maybe Gumball gets some reco in Japan and India but sure as fucking hell not in the US or Europe.
Joseph Diaz
found a video of them youtube.com/watch?v=8uEaQGXOyiQ >body is just straight cut off at the base for the legs Confirmed shit
Camden Davis
>t. waifufag
Jaxon Kelly
this. no dumbass shipping to be had. no big evil. no bait-and-switch with genres. just bears doin shit and bein goofy.
Eli Diaz
To add on to this the characters aren't all snarky assholes, very little random humour, and some nice character backstory.
Jaxon Cooper
what a cute dork, any good merch?
Thomas Barnes
China and Korea get all kinds of crazy exclusive We Bare Bears merch in comparison to the states It really isn't fair
Zachary Evans
Fuck, really? Well at least that means the show will continue to get new seasons
John Richardson
Some people prefer bland over something that offends them (plus if you had a neighbour who wanted you dead and had nukes, you'd want bland too)
Hunter Murphy
It's funny, the humor just isn't the main draw. There's little laugh out loud moments, it's just appropriately contemporary and comfy with endearing characters.
Hudson Roberts
Please don't bully the bears.
Xavier Baker
that or not everything needs to be damn over the top all the time.
Isaiah Thompson
>caring about worst Korea
Lucas Flores
They really did well to include a Korean family. It's nice seeing a cartoon get appeal over there.
Parker Johnson
>Villainous stopped reading there
Carson Price
It is, it's comfy and inoffensive. Very easy watch.
Andrew Edwards
Waifus are the most important part of any cartoon
Joseph Foster
I suppose this is why the show still airs despite its poor ratings. It's popular overseas like Ben 10
Landon Collins
Poor ratings = Not whacky enough for the kids.
Asher Foster
What about Chloe and the girls the bears meet
Grayson Barnes
It is. It's banal wannabe cutesy SoL webcomic bullshit animated as a cartoon. Not surprised Gookreans would love something so shit.
Benjamin Brown
It's not banal; the characters can carry a story on their own in both baby and adult forms.
Nolan Allen
Nintendo did some Switch commercials with WBB, but I didn't notice much posting about them. The Splatoon 2 one is cringey shit, but the ARMS one is okay. Too bad I don't care about the game at all. youtu.be/yHRonIfqswA
Robert Lopez
Ice Bear wants to throw out the first pitch.
Kevin Mitchell
>baby bears That's if you can understand what they're fucking saying.
John Diaz
The VAs are good.
Isaac James
Oh damn, didn't know about these! Thanks for sharing!
Brayden Ramirez
apparently some people don't consider it a story unless there are clear antagonists/universe ending threats to deal with.
i mean there is a story but they want something more/else to make it worth their time.
Xavier Perez
>if you can understand what they're fucking saying. You suffer from hearing loss?
Logan Baker
>Koreans have been exposed to the marvels of giant burritos
This will only make Seoul and LA even closer
Joseph Campbell
yup, nu-PPG is also kept alive with over seas ratings
Bentley Wright
I hope so. I really feel like there isn't another show like this right now. It's just so chill.
Sebastian Bailey
Buffalo-Bell, Polly, Leona >>> Bears
Japan wins again.
Kevin Peterson
they should go to japan and hang with that one baseball bear mascot
Lucas Moore
He spelled neighbor with a "u", ignore him.
Nolan Williams
...
Bentley Barnes
Gooks have good taste in cartoons.
Adam Brown
WBB is a pretty good anime. Miki-chan is best waifu.
Xavier Garcia
It's cute and easy to watch. It's the closest thing to the classic era of cartoon cartoons in its simple premise but just a bit more grounded in its delivery.
I also honestly think it's got the nicest artwork of all the current CN shows
Alexander Wood
The backgrounds are so nice to look at.
>classic era Which era is classic? Examples?
Brayden Gray
>I don't like this, how can anyone else? Autism
Dominic Watson
I want bear nuts
Camden Powell
Just how big is We Bare Bears, inb4 it's CN's most profitable show right now.
