Absolutely degenerate.
Bears, and some wonky animation in the OP.
>>119434474
Anyone here read Wuthering Heights? Apparently Arashi ga oka is Wuthering Heights in nip, and I want to see how it relates.
It's just as good as Invisible War was too.
>>119434616
>wonky animation
Based Silver Link pushing the limits and giving us both flat and boobilicious bears AT THE SAME TIME
>>119434474
>>119434616
I wasn't the only one who thought these two were the same character from the previews, right?
>>119434630
"Wuthering" is an old English word for "windy".
The Japanese just translated that to "arashi"; storm.
Tsubaki Kureha has one of those names that's just a delight to say in full.
TSUBAKI KUREHA
>>119434630
I've read it, don't really remember much about it other than it being pretty dark and people fucking each-other over. Just read the wiki page on it.
>>119434964
Eh...
>>119434827
Shut up Ayano, go back to your show.
>>119434964
Heathcliff was a dirty gypsie
>>119434630
I haven't actually read it, but now I'm curious. I took a look at what wikipedia had to say about the book and it seems like it could have some similar themes or give a hint of what we're in for.
>The book's core theme is the destructive effect of jealousy and vengefulness both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities
>Considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality
Hopefully someone more familar with the book and give us a little more insight to any other things worthy of noting.
>>119435115
That's pretty all the book is about. I read it and it's basically all about Heathcliff's spiral downwards. We already have some Victorian/Catholic ideals. And jealousy (from the bears?) and revenge (especially on Kureha's side) could come deeply into play.
>>119435115
Just to some things up, this show has so far referenced:
>Wuthering Heights
>The Shining
>Suspiria
My body isn't ready for how dark this is gonna get
>>119434630
I guess its possible if you replace "gets sick and dies" with "gets eaten by bears".
Best show.
>>119435185
But what else has referenced Wuthering Heights besides the single word "Arashi"?
>>119435224
>>119435115
I doubt it really has anything to do with it. Any parallels are probably unintentional.
>>119435257
Arashi ga oka is the name of the school
>>119435185
Not a film reference, but there's absolutely been reference to the Sankebetsu brown bear incident. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankebetsu_brown_bear_incident
>>119435257
It's not the single word Arashi.
The school is named Arashi-gaoka, which is the exact title of Wuthering Heights in Japanese
>>119435115
>the destructive effect of jealousy
Sounds more like Utena to me.
>>119435257
>>119435294
Yes
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095786/
>>119435257
That's not even a reference
>>119434738
Wuthering Heights translated to "Stormy Hill" basically.
>>119435321
Utena was about arrested development not jealousy though.
>this op
Guess I'm going to be locking the door when i watch this show
>>119435373
Yeah your parents could think you are heterosexual.
>>119435294

Yeah that chalkboard screeching whisper at the beginning is pretty terrible.
Thankfully onces that's over it's nice and generic.
>>119435321
It's not just jealousy, it's about the general effects of problematic relationships, especially brutish passion and how it destroys people and everything around them.
>>119435315
Bears can grow pretty big but...
>>119435402
They do in Japan.

Honestly if the reference to Wuthering Heights is more than just a passing mention then love could turn out to be the thing that royally fucks everyone up in the end.

From wiki:
>The black-headed gull is a bold and opportunistic feeder and will eat insects, fish, seeds, worms, scraps and carrion in towns, or take invertebrates in ploughed fields with equal relish. This is a noisy species, especially in colonies, with a familiar "kree-ar" call. Its scientific name means "laughing gull".
Also apparently there's a black-headed gull in Watership Down. Any possible link in this info to Yuri Kuma Arashi?

>>119437262
>apart from the dream court to lily licking
Pretty much the only thing that can be confusing. And it's still easy to understand what happened.
>lily licking
Did this even happen? It looked more like a desire or a dream. Of course it's possible that the bears really molested her during her sleep, but I doubt it. The scene was very surreal and I don't think we should take it literally.
>>119437445

>>119437476
Then what "really happened" between being assaulted by the bears on the roof and waking up?

Nah, but if later you see a monolite take it in count.

>>119438210
INVISIBLE ARMY CONFIRMED BIRDS
>>119438000
Bullying in society. Kureha is pure and isn't afraid to show her love for Izumino and vice versa so they stand out for going against the norm and so they are bullied for daring to show their love, which is why friends are necessary for survival. You can't show romantic love for others, just friendship.
We're also getting prize figures from FuRyu soon. Hopefully that's a good sign for scales in the future.
>>119438362
The first
That's like one of the few less confusing things about it, they explicitly say 'we're bears that changed into humans'
>>119438184
Kinda like the child broiler in penguindrum then? Fits, kids back there were lost to society, tying into the themes of family in the show. For this, being mainly about lesbians, the invisible storm which was announced by the cutting of the lilies would be about the end of love between the girls. I felt it was more of a general feeling that sweeps through the school, so the effects of the storm could be more than just school girl bullying.

And she's pouring honey in the OP, so maybe they're trying to lure/trap the bears?
>>119438353
I think that girlfriend can still be saved; otherwise, there's no reason for the phonecall, or for Kureha to submit to the bears (which I presume will lead to the affection)
>>119438414
And humans that change back into bears.
So, how is the bingo going?
>>119438122
It's set in America.
