Watch the first two episodes or so of Kumamiko, then pretend the entire staff was mauled by a bear and couldn't make any more.

They should have been, anyway.

It was getting bad as early as the first ep.

Basilisk is fun if you want to see a bunch of magical Ninja Scroll-esque ninjas murdering each other.

On second thought, just watch the Op/ED of Kumamiko and pretend the rest of the show doesn't exist.

there's literally no point in watching any eps of Kumamiko because it gets so bad, plus even the beginning has a bunch of jokes about the girl being naked/sexualized/hosed by the bear

If you want to get a beary good fix for all things Ursine, just watch Shirokuma Cafe (Anime) or We Bare Bears (Cartoons)

No wonder my coworker recommended it to me. I always figured he was a furry, and liking a show like that is pretty damning evidence.

If anyone recommended Kumamiko to you, being a furry is the least of that person's problems.

What I'm saying is your coworker probably gets off on psychologically torturing little girls. Like no joke, there's literally no other way you could enjoy that show, and I am using 'literally' in the traditional way.

E: v Apparently the original author got really pissed about it, so I don't think it was much of an extension of the source material.

the overall issue people have with the series is less that and more it taking the source material and making it way more mean-spirited in execution and conclusion. (Some people say that's the natural extension of what was already there and the anime staff just ran with that, but I didn't watch or read either so idk)

i mean the bear design is very cute and he has a good VA but yeah, there's a weird joke with him going into heat when the girl puts on bear ears and outside of that he (and everyone else in the show) bullies her constantly.

I commute by bike!
kumamiko is a loving awful show that only gets worse as you watch it and the author of the manga even hated how it ended

i've heard basically nothing about the manga that made it sound as mean-spirited as the show from people who've read it

Eclipse report: It was cool and also got noticeably darker, though I'm not in the totality path. Also did not encounter any Draculas. Took a couple attempts to get the pinhole size right with my box, but it worked decently. I'll post some of my crummy pictures when I get home from work tonight.

Tip of all you've got is a phone camera and are only in a partial area: center about half a screen below the sun and you should be able to catch a decent reflected image.

Watched from Dallas. Not in the path of totality, but we lost about 75 percent sunlight, got noticably dimmer and colder and the sun appears as a crescent when you're wearing the glasses.

Honestly the world just getting dimmer and colder for a prolonged period of time is weirder to me than a total eclipse.that lasts a few minutes.

This is happening all the time, just usually the projections are round so you don't notice.
