About GLOOMY THE NAUGHTY GRIZZLY

GLOOMY THE NAUGHTY GRIZZLY (いたずらぐまのグル～ミ～) blends comedy, horror and slice of life by NAZ (2021). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: GLOOMY is Pity’s pet bear. He’s a little over 6 feet and weighs as much as 2000 pomegranates.

From there, he’s well trained for the most part, but he can never remember that he’s not supposed to attack humans. Still, a pet owner needs to take ultimate responsibility for his pets. Recalling warm memories of GLOOMY as a cute bear cub, Pity tries to lead a life of peaceful co-existence with his pet bear.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Pity-kun (Natsuki Hanae) and Gloomy (Kouichi Yamadera) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by NAZ, so the studio's house style defines how GLOOMY THE NAUGHTY GRIZZLY looks and moves on screen. Within the comedy category, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 4.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Natsuki Hanae as Pity-kun, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2021, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
