finally working through my backlog of stuff i wanted to say something about and also trying not to force myself to write an essay for each entry. there are also utena spoilers. impossible to not talk about utena in relation to this show.
the setup is a typical girl meets girl story: one day the planet kumalia exploded, sprinkled its debris down on earth, and bears gained sapience. bears and humans fought and so the wall of severance was put up to separate humans and bears, but it doesn't do as well a job as you might want, and so we open on kureha (our protagonist) and sumika (her girlfriend) gaze over a bed of lilies as a bear warning sounds. whatever will happen next!
