CATDOLL: The original plot of "When a Girl Meets a Bear" was criticized: Is the heroine too fragile?

The April new anime "When a Girl Meets a Bear" is coming to an end, and the recent plots are mostly original. But after watching the latest animation, many viewers complained about the exaggerated original plot - is the heroine too fragile?

In "When a Girl Meets a Bear", the heroine Komachi longs for life in the big city, but is eventually stopped by Konisha, who is a bear. The reason is that Komachi is too shy and has low self-esteem, and is prone to serious delusions when she arrives in a strange place. Based on this, Konisha is very worried that Komachi will be fooled and deceived by people in the big city.

Although the animation production team tried their best to highlight Komachi's "allergic reaction" to big cities and strangers, judging from the latest episode 11, this setting seems to have been played too much, making the audience couldn't help but suggest that "this kind of person (Komachi) should go see a doctor."

I was so nervous that I forgot to introduce myself.

In the 11th episode of the anime, which is almost entirely original, Komachi came to Sendai to participate in the "Tohoku Idol Contest". She was already afraid of strangers, and now she felt even more inferior, worried that others would look down on her. Sure enough, when introducing herself in public, Komachi's exaggerated symptoms began to flare up, and she even had visual and auditory hallucinations...

In fact, all of this is just Komachi's imagination and brain supplement. Others have no ill intentions at all. Instead, her intense reaction attracted the attention of those around her. In the animation, the production team wanted to use this contrasting humorous style to present Komachi's social phobia. However, this series of exaggerated actions really makes people worry whether she really suffers from some mental illness.

In this regard, the original manga is much more subtle. Although Komachi in the manga is also very shy, she is also training and growing, and has learned to read people's expressions and promote the relationship between her cousin Yoshio and her childhood sweetheart Hibiki.

Enhance self-confidence and improve the ability to live independently

Judging from this point alone, the animation seems to have made a mistake. If it continues like this, Komachi in the animation will probably never be able to leave the village in her lifetime...

"When a Girl Meets a Bear" (original name: Kumamiko) is the work of cartoonist Yoshimoto Masume. The plot tells the story of a shrine maiden Ame-cho and a bear who accidentally met in a deep mountain, and a wonderful story unfolded...
