Rilakkuma to Kaorusan (2019)
Perfect way to unwind
I started watching this show on a whim since each episode is only 11 minutes, thinking it was made for children. While it's definitely appropriate for kids, it actually centers around a woman in her late twenties who feels like everyone around her is moving on. Each episode has a little theme, usually along the lines of being kind to yourself and learning to deal with change. The stop motion is gorgeous and every scene is beautifully detailed; I especially loved all the Japanese snacks from Dango to fluffy pancakes. It also goes without saying that the bears (and the bird) are adorable, and have wonderfully distinct personalities. Overall, this show is a perfect bite-sized package of joy after a long day. Looking forward to many seasons to come!
