178 - Yurikuma Arashi with Judith & Natalie

Is your Fandom the Real Thing? Ikuhara's works have been tackled on "We are the Geek" before, but never this deep. Prepare to dive into the bait-and-switch honeypot that's neither fanservice nor horror, neither direct or metaphorical, forever separated by the Wall of Severance. It's YuriKuma, available on FUNimation and Hulu. And at 12 episodes, it's a tightly wound ball of sexual frustration and symbolic bear slaughter. Where do you even begin to analyze a transcendental anime like this? Well, to the fans, obviously.
