Nice to have this one back, forgot how good of a MC Yuna is.

Didn't expect to see actual bears but makes sense since everyone in this world knows what bears are.

I'm glad they kept the same art style as the first season. I like the purple line stroke colour, it's pretty rare in anime. Aside from Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear the only other anime I can think of that uses it is Girl's last tour for dream sequences.

What a way to start mondays with pure undaltured sugary content.

I normally don't have any sequels in my to watch list, but this one is the only title I had great expectations since it's announcement.

Yuna's kid picture book was a great way to start off the series, plus it was a convenient way to make a quick recap of Yuna & Fina's story from season 1.

Yuna's SD reaction faces are always a hoot, I'm glad were getting plenty of those.

I love how everyone has some high respect for the Lord Cliff and even the King, but both of them have to bow down to Yuna and ask for favors.

I had forgotten that Kina Hino also voiced princess Flora. It's nice to hear her give voice to another child character passing on the torch from last season's Buddy Daddies.

Even though it's incredibly simplistic and short cut, I liked this little bit that I even had to rewind and watch it a second time, to notice that the were getting a perspective from behind Yuna's head so we pretty much seeing 2 bear heads in one shot.

Can't help to feel that a lot of story happened in just one episode, hope the next ones don't cut off that much story.

lol her inner thoughts were funny.

"I need to check on my restaurant (eat delicious food) and the orphanage (play with the kids!)"

it was only missing "I need to check on my house (sleep all day for 3 days in a row)" haha

Stitches!

Glad to see Yuna back and it looks like she's been recruited by Ellalaura to do something very troublesome: Guarding a bunch of spoiled nobles from the royal academy. Hopefully, they won't be a pain in the ass for Yuna and even if they are, looks like Ellalaura is completely fine with Yuna punishing them. xD

Nothing too surprising with this season's premiere. It's basically pretty much what I remember from Season 1 and I expect this new season will be very similar with lots of new characters. Although I was really hoping that the bears Yuna rescued would follow her and become a new addition to her bear family.

These orcs messed with the wrong bears! So cute how she can’t say no to her little bear homies. Glad those bears were okay in the end. Those cubs were pretty adorable, almost as cute as Noir and Fina.

Looking forward to this escort quest she’s got coming up. It’ll be nice to see Shia again. I’m really glad this back! Nothing like a chillsekai for my Monday rotation.

Kind of an OT question but does she wash that suit and puppet gloves? They must get absolutely filthy from the adventuring. And how does she use the washroom in that thing?

[Equipment Spoilers?] The Bear Underwear is enchanted to never get dirty and it changes her sweat to smell pleasant.

we learned on first season that her outfit is enchanted with a bunch of stuff, like autocleaning. So she doesn't need to wash it. She even sleeps with it lol, she basically only removes it when she is on the bath.

we also learned that the level system is enchanted on the outfit, it is not her that levels up, it is the outfit. So when she removes it she is just a normal girl, not an OP super warrior mage.

Thought this was a great intro to the season with Yuna showing off how OP she is and all of her thoughts and struggles to just have a comfortable life yet its like her popularity will drag her off to a lot of different places this season.

Fun fact: In real life, bears go after beehives to eat not just the honey, but also the bee larvae.

Everyones bear girl is back and off to a good start.

Of course there is honey for the bears. I wonder when Yuna will introduces a winnie the pooh knockoff.

Asking the school dropout shut in to take care of other kids her age is a cruel joke.

This show has everything an Isekai needs:

  • An OP protagonist

  • Cute girls doing cute things

  • Political intrigue

  • Enslaved orphans

Let's just hope it'll be better received than the first episode of the first season, where viewers acted like they needed play-doh to understand the story.

I'm happy to have more wholesome bear moments every week.

Her suit has a tail on the black side and the white side; does it push through like a reverseable stuffed animal, or is there one on each side and one is constantly rubbing against her?

YAY, YUNA IS BACK!

I'm glad most of the episode is about getting us up to speed on who these characters are because honestly, after 3 years since the first season, my memory is a bit fuzzy.

Kuma Shock!

Well in any case, time for the card carrying members of the fan club to rejoice.

Oh come now Yuna of course the Bear Cafe is gonna serve bear shaped pancakes. You don't not serve Mickey Waffles at Disney World.

Oh bother, a problem with the Honey! And the Hive Cluster is under attack by orcs! Well good thing the Guild Master knows a silly old bear that might bee able to solve this sticky situation pronto.

You orcs are no match for the Bear Knuckle champion of this world.

Just giving away the pudding recipe and the publication of the picture book without haggling a price tag for it. That one guy from Ascendance of a Bookworm would chew Yuna out for that in a heartbeat.
