    charming, sweet, relaxing
    Actually so endearing. charming stop-motion animation. i was aware that rilakkuma was a character before this show, and was initially put off by the fact that he's the face of very "cutesy" merchandise, but this show doesn't give that impression at all. kid friendly, but some of the themes and humour may be a little *whoosh* for young children.

    the only thing i wasn't too fond of were the "romance" bits, kaoru's lovey-dovey fawning over guys. it's just a bit too stock for me, and not really explored with the subtle charm that's done for other themes or life experiences.

    watched the first episode in english, switched to japanese original with english subtitles from the 2nd one on and it's a lot better for me.
