Hey folks! Welcome to this week’s Japanese pop culture thread.

Rilakkuma and Kaoru is a stop-motion animation series that debuted on Netflix last month. It follows the daily life of Kaoru, an office worker living in Japan, and Rilakkuma, a massive, living brown teddy bear that just showed up at her doorstep one day and started living with her. The setup seems very reminiscent of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, except Rilakkuma is lazy as hell.
