Synopsis
In the past, humanoid bears coexisted with humans. However, a meteor shower that fell onto Earth had a strange effect on bears throughout the world: they suddenly became violent and hungry for human flesh, spurring an endless cycle of bloodshed in which bear ate man and man shot bear, forgetting the lively relationship they once had. The "Wall of Severance" was thus built, separating the two civilizations and keeping peace. Kureha Tsubaki and Sumika Izumino are two lovers attending Arashigaoka Academy, who, upon the arrival of two bears that have sneaked through the Wall of Severance and infiltrated the academy, find their relationship under a grave threat. The hungering yet affectionate bears, Ginko Yurishiro and Lulu Yurigasaki, seem to see the bear-hating Kureha as more than just another meal, and in getting closer to her, trigger an unraveling of secrets that Kureha may not be able to bear. When their relationships provoke the Invisible Storm, a group that keeps order within the ideological school, the girls must stand on trial with their love, embarking on a journey of self-discovery en route to attaining true love's "promised kiss."

A good closure, the final event was unexpected and pleasant, while also being consistent with the story. It leaves a great debate about ideals and sacrifices for love. I'm not sure if I expected more or something different, but it's still a very good story when analyzing how the dots connect and how everything makes sense, even if the theme is highly sexualized and a bit strange.
A slower paced episode, and I wasn't entirely convinced by how things happened and ended; it's more of the same. A good flashback that allows us to understand the story from a better built context followed by present action. Good episode, but I expected more from the penultimate chapter.
A great touch of action and tension in the final stretch, with clear intentions from every character. It sets the stage for a future battle and moral dilemmas of sacrifice and ideals. Everything connects, keeping you fully engaged and feeling a mix of emotions in a well-crafted episode.
A captivating episode with developments that don't disappoint and keep building the plot. A great season finale is expected, though following the current line of this resolution is already more than enough. It's really good.
An episode that feels like a season finale and forces the viewer to immediately watch the next one to catch up, tie up loose ends, and clear up remaining doubts. Great episode; the series has exceeded my expectations.
A slightly intriguing episode that felt more slow-paced to me, but it connects the dots and makes the biggest event of the series so far feel almost imminent. It was a calm, relatively well-rounded, and enjoyable episode.
The series managed to win me over again and live up to expectations by getting back on track with a solid and well-crafted plot. The characters are completely shifting the initial evil toward others, making it clear that humans are not always the good guys.
A bit of a confusing episode. I felt more disconnected from the plot and wasn't entirely convinced, although I like that there are always twists and i still think it's really well-crafted visually and sonically.
The best part was the contrast in showing the background and lore of how the two little bears arrived in the present timeline; it's a fast-paced and honestly funny story because of how absurd their journey is, but it still manages to have a pretty emotional payoff at the end.
Well, it's more of the same with repetitive scenes, but with small twists that liven up the series. It's enjoyable, and you get used to so much sexualization
it’s still weird and constantly plays with being explicit. It felt pretty similar to the previous episode in some ways, but this time you can really see them building up the main plot and putting the pieces together.
It left me with mixed feelings. The theme, references, and symbolism are a bit weird, but even so, it's well-made and features highly well-executed, almost cinematic reso.urces. It entertained me, but not entirely.
The series is done and this episode is actually decent! It had some nice visuals and a somewhat surprising ending. However, the show itself is a tough watch, approach at your own discretion!
I think this show in its entirety is a really mixed bag, and even hardcore yuri fans might have a difficult time getting into it because of the cryptic imagery. This episode shows more of Ginko's point of view and her wish to be her own true self. But, beyond that, I'm really glad the show is almost over.
I wish this anime was animated exactly as the bedtime storybook (I know it would be super expensive, but still)! Glad Lulu is back, the plot has put her aside after that one episode focused on her backstory. I don't know if this is feeling like getting closer to an ending or not, though...
This episode didn't really catch my interest, even after the big reveal of last episode and a dramatic beginning. Although, I must say that although the series has been chock-full of erotic elements and explicitly sexual allegoeries, this episode specfically shows and adult forcing themselves on a teenager. So be warned!
This episode is probably one of the best so far? Some dots are connected and we have a big reveal, plus an interesting character study of Yuriika.
I always like the music and sountracks of this anime, but that's pretty much it at this point. This time we follow a bit of Ginko's past and how Kureha learns about their bond, but there isn't really any... pathos. I think Ikuhara forgot to write actual characters, besides trying to create an allegory of exclusion.
I really enjoyed the animation for the bedtime story, but the entire plot seems to get more contrived as the episodes move along (now we even have a school conspiracy against Kureha...).
The animation in this one is really lacking, while the plot seems to go all over the place at this point. Yes, Lulu and Ginko are starting to form a bond with Kureha, but even if the story shows a clear subtext on exclusion and homophobia, it really gets lost in the gimmickiness of the visuals and narration.
