Fangirl: Mama Panda and Mama King Penguin are big fans of Yama Arashi. They go to their concerts and get overwhelmed when the members express their gratitude to them for the food they gave them while holding their hands. Mei Mei is also a fangirl for Handa, squealing and flailing whenever she's admiring him and always asking her brother for photos of him.

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_19e9b150
comment
Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: Panda (Jun Fukuyama) hums the show's ending theme, "Bamboo Scramble" (sung by Jun Fukuyama). Penguin drunkenly sings along to the opening theme at a karaoke bar. He does it again in episode 50, only not drunk. Polar Bear sings the first line to Sasako's ending song while cycling. Handa hums part of Sasako's ending song at the end of episode 48. It's a nice touch considering it follows one of their interactions.

Childhood Friends

comment
Childhood Friends: Grizzly and Polar Bear have been friends since they were cubs. Of course, this doesn't stop Grizzly from yelling at Polar Bear at every chance, especially when flashbacks show that he received the brunt of Polar Bear's antics in their childhood. This was the main focus of "Reunion at the Grizzly Bar!" as Wolf, Lion and Tiger were friends since they were kids, grew up going their separate ways, then reuniting and reliving their teen years as they remember how much they love their favourite rapper MC 496MA.

Carnivore Confusion
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_27a58d30
comment
Carnivore Confusion: Where the line draws between animals who are part of society and animals who are domesticated and can be eaten is usually fuzzy. The general rule seems to be that animals that are seen as food or pets in the real world are just food or pets in the Polar Bear Cafe world as well. Examples include: Polar Bear and Penguin visiting the zoo's seal exhibit, which forbids polar bears because they are the seal's natural predators. Polar Bear winds up scaring one of the seals away, even if he assures that he won't eat it. Episode 25, where Cub!Polar Bear suggested making bear paw stew (as a joke) to Grizzly. Grizzly legitimately believing that Polar Bear got eaten by otters due to a misunderstanding (the otters were actually eating a new dessert shaped as a polar bear called the "Polar Bear"). Hamburger restaurants are seen, and in the manga Polar Bear cooks a roast chicken. A variety of animals that don't count as part of society - three dogs that can't talk, fish are eaten regularly, and it didn't seem like water buffalo in the garden episode can talk either (although that maybe because we didn't see much of them).

Hurricane of Puns: Polar Bear tends to fire off a bunch of puns whenever he feels like it. This comes back to bite him in the ass, as everyone becomes so tired of his puns that they start doing it back to him. He gets so flustered that he apologizes for it but everyone acknowledges it's part of his personality.

Beary Funny: Polar Bear is the owner of the titular cafe and is a Pungeon Master. Panda is a rather lazy cloudcuckoolander who is a regular patron. Grizzly, while a serious character, is also dragged into in many of the running gags that involves Polar Bear annoying Grizzly and waking him up from hibernation just to ask pointless questions.

Hidden Depths
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_2dc0d2bf
comment
Hidden Depths: Penguin, despite being a chatterbox who likes to go wild drinking and karaoke, enjoys painting as a hobby and holds an exhibit at one point. Sloth's scenes are often gags related to his slow speech and movements, yet likes ballroom dancing and has a Ph.D (albeit a doctorate in hanging out in a tree all day). Panda is unashamedly narcissistic and spoiled, yet feels guilty when Polar bear gets questioned by the police thanks to him (he was trying to illegally ride his bike to the zoo dressed as Panda), so he gives Polar Bear a day-long vacation and runs the store in his place. Given his clumsiness and laziness, an Epic Fail of sorts wouldn't be surprising — however he actually does a really good job, genuinely putting effort into the work and running the place smoothly.

Anguished Declaration of Love: Penguin accidentally makes a dramatic love confession to Panda while under the influence of alcohol, hallucinating him to be Penko, a female penguin he has a long-standing crush on. Penguin, after many episodes contemplating and chickening out, finally asks his crush Penko-san out in dramatic fashion not once, but every day for the whole week. This comes to bite him in the ass when it turns out he was asking a different penguin each time and never realized, meaning he asked out seven different penguins.

Paper-Thin Disguise: Averted when Panda and Polar Bear decide to swap jobs for the day. Panda's "Polar Bear" disguise (ie. him with his black fur dyed white) doesn't fool the cafe patrons for a second due to his small stature. Polar Bear's panda paint job also fools nobody because he's huge. It also gets him in trouble with a local police officer for identity fraud later on.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: Neither the manga nor the anime have a real overarching story, so none of the changes are important, but the manga is fairly different from the anime. Characters in the anime are introduced in a completely different order and situation than their manga counterparts. The anime has several stories not present in the manga (for example, Penko does not exist in the manga in any form and Penguin's love life is never an issue), and for the stories the two mediums do share, there are always changes in the characters' personalities and dialogues.

Supreme Chef: Polar Bear is naturally good at cooking since he is a cafe owner. Sasako, despite only being the part-time worker that got hired on the spot, is shown to be talented with food as Polar Bear loves her gyoza and two female customers thoroughly enjoy the parfaits she makes for them. Grizzly is no slouch at food and drinks since he owns a bar and also did grow up with Polar Bear. Grizzly's Mother apparently is a master at making soup, since everyone at Bar The Grizzly love it to death despite not even being on the menu (which Grizzly complains about). Tiger is an owner of a successful bakery and so is good at baking (especially sweets).

The Thing That Would Not Leave: Things, actually. Panda Mama, Ms. King Penguin, Mama Red Squirrel, and a fourth woman in episode 23 basically camp out in the cafe, and demand free coffee refills. Poor Red Panda has to deal with Panda Mama's group when they hang out at his work with Sasako (whom they're supposed to be interrogating for present ideas but end up going off-track). Penguin visits Panda's house for New Year's and ends up staying there for several days at Panda's family's insistence. He's happy to hang out, but Panda gets annoyed by his presence.

Token Human: As the series focuses on animals, only some humans are significant in some settings and frequently appear. Sasako and Handa are the two main human characters as Sasako is the cafe's sole human employee and Mr. Handa is Panda's zookeeper. They inevitably get dragged into the shenanigans. Rin-rin is the local florist who's a Loony Fan for pandas and even gets a few A Day in the Limelight segments of his own. Kirino, the second zookeeper, is Handa's subordinate. Masaki, Tree Kangaroo's apprentice. At one point Polar Bear wonders if he should just call him 'human'.

The Cuckoolander Was Right: When Grizzly disappears during the events of "Mr. Grizzly Goes On An Adventure", Polar Bear makes up an explanation involving Grizzly riding his motorcycle to the north, fighting the mob, and becoming bouncer at a small cafe run by a fox. Of course, everyone calls Polar Bear a liar since the story is so far-fetched and there's way Polar Bear could possibly know... but he ends up being completely right.

Interspecies Romance: A one-sided version with Panda's littler sister crushing heavily on Handa. Then Polar Bear jokes about them marrying and Panda's imagination runs with it. Panda sees a real estate agent with Handa and a female badger and mistakes them for a newlywed couple. Panda's imagination really runs with it and mistakenly lets the zoo believe it's true. In one story, Penguin mistakenly thinks Penko is in love with Tortoise (she said she loves cameras (kamera) but he only caught the kame (turtles) bit).

Swapped Roles: Polar Bear and Panda try out each others' jobs for a day. The results are mixed, to say the least. Panda tries out the other roles at the zoo and utterly fails at all of them. Llama, on the other hand, is such an excellent replacement panda that Full-Time Panda compliments him several times. Witnessing this causes Panda to go back to his original job and Llama to ponder what other roles he could try out.

Playful Otter: An otter frequently visits the cafe. Otters also become a plot point in episode 16, where Grizzly thinks a group of them ate Polar Bear when they actually ate a dessert shaped like a polar bear. The Christmas Episode reveals that an otter looks after Grizzly's bar while he hibernates.

Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_9aee92b4
comment
Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better: Zig-zagged. The animals who usually walk on all fours (namely bears, big cats, canines, and mustelids) are bipedal. However Llama, Tortoise, Sloth and few others still walk on four legs. Possibly justified as Llama's legs would be too thin to support his weight if he did walk upright, Tortoise's shell weighs him down too much to even attempt, and Sloth simply doesn't have the energy to support himself on two legs (although his Imagine Spot of himself walking to the hot springs does show him walking on two legs).

A Day in the Limelight
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_9c8701b5
comment
A Day in the Limelight: Many of the side characters get more focus in some episodes. Rin-rin is the focus of two separate episodes, both based on his obsessive panda fandom. One episode mainly follows Grizzly's adventures after mistakenly believing Polar Bear is dead. Mama Panda, Mama Squirrel and Mama King Penguin spending time together is the focus of the second half of episode 23. Wolf and Tiger get more focus in episode 34 when Wolf is jobless and Tiger has him help out as his shop while they try to find him other work. Llama and Sasako spend an episode reminiscing about their hometown. One story follows Llama and Full-Time Panda drunk adventures (which Rin-rin gets dragged into). In episode 28, Full-Time Panda gets a entire episode dealing with his jealousy of Panda being cuter and getting all the attention. Full-Time is desperate enough to even beg Rin-Rin to obsess over him as well.

Foreshadowing: In the third episode when asked if Polar Bear had a problem, he says he always wanted to become an idol, but was too busy with his studies to do so. This causes Penguin to say, "There you go, lying again..." However, he was at one point a famous hip-hop performer, though whether Penguin is aware of that career, or simply thought the idea that Polar Bear would actually want to be one is ludicrous, is unknown. Panda brings up Yama Arashi in a conversation with Full-Time Panda long before they actually appear.

Sugar Bowl: In this world the show takes place in, humans and anthropomorphic animals live in harmony as equals, there's no prejudice between them, drinking and smoking are shown but never in a way that looks sleazy, no villains are present (unless you count that creepy Caimen but even he's toned down), and everyone is friends with one another (even if they won't admit it). The third intro really hammers this trope in.

Hypocritical Humor: Penguin criticizes Panda for only stocking things he likes (bamboo and panda goods) in his hypothetical cafe. Then, when Penguin imagines what his own hypothetical cafe would look like, he does exactly the same thing with fish. While watching Penguin persistently confess to "Penko-san" (unaware he's actually confessing to several of them), Sasako thinks it's romantic to have someone persistently ask you out. When Panda and Polar Bear ask if she'd like it if it happened to her, she pauses and admits it's not as romantic. Polar Bear (aka the owner of Polar Bear Cafe) states how unoriginal it is for Brown Bear to call his cafe "Brown Bear's Cafe".

Panda is unashamedly narcissistic and spoiled, yet feels guilty when Polar bear gets questioned by the police thanks to him (he was trying to illegally ride his bike to the zoo dressed as Panda), so he gives Polar Bear a day-long vacation and runs the store in his place. Given his clumsiness and laziness, an Epic Fail of sorts wouldn't be surprising — however he actually does a really good job, genuinely putting effort into the work and running the place smoothly.

Cool and Unusual Punishment: In revenge for Polar Bear's constant use of puns, the animals, Handa, and Sasako band together to say nothing but puns back to him. Polar Bear ends up running away each time. It turns out every friend/acquaintance that Polar Bear runs into, throws puns at him, causing him to start freaking out. The others end up finding this genuinely fun, however.

Cuteness Overload: No matter how uncomfortable Mr Necktie gets at the Cafe, the cuteness of all the animals keeps him interested.

In particular, at the second Cherry Blossom viewing, he's surrounded by Panda's entire family, Full-time Panda's entire family, and Handa (whom he literally thinks is a panda for a few seconds) and outright admits his life's wish has been fulfilled.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Early in the manga it's shown that a kangaroo works at Polar Bear Cafe. She mentions wanting some help in the garden and then, outside of a brief cameo many pages later, is never seen again. note  The one kangaroo was turned into three kangaroos (who don't even wear the uniform) much later in the anime. The anime also makes the garden seem much farther away from the cafe than it originally is in the manga, which makes it a bit less strange as to why they're never around.

Shout-Out
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The series often alludes to other media. A scene of Panda fantasizing about Rin-rin's identity (he thinks he's a girl) is done in the style of Revolutionary Girl Utena, of all things◊. Panda's Training Montage in episode 6 is a shout out to Rocky, complete with a shout of "Adrian!" Panda starts walking around in an outfit similar to Darth Vader in an effort to have a bad-ass image. Polar Bear does an... interesting impression of Holly Golightly while promoting the cafe's latest dessert. In episode 18, Polar Bear tells a horror story that he changed color due to a mouse chewing on his ear and he feared mice because of it. Among Full-Time Panda's collection of mecha model kits [that he keeps hidden in a bush in the enclosure] are what look like several Gundam mecha, as well as GaoGaiGar. One of the visitors to Penguin's art show is probably meant to be Osamu Tezuka. In "Love Love Driving Tactics", at the start of the drive, Panda seems to be playing a PSP like device. The panel on the back with the ring makes it glaringly obvious. In the Summer Festival there is a mask that looks glaringly similar to Naruto. In episode 38 Panda is reading a manga of a Sherlock Holmes expy. In Episode 49, "Mr. Llama's Time Capsule", as they're sitting down on a stoop eating cream buns, Sasako gets up looking around.

comment
Polar Bear is a frequent practitioner of dajare, a Japanese form of humor that revolves around puns based on the pronunciation (rather than the reading) of words. Lampshaded when Polar Bear is driving and he notices a bagel in his car. He proceeds to riff some puns, but then comments that it's not as fun because Penguin and Panda have both fallen asleep and don't notice. He even plays them with a Black Caiman threatening to eat Panda! Subverted in "Penguin's Confession" when Polar Bear starts to make a pun, Penguin cuts him off and skedaddles out of the cafe. Two seconds later, he comes back in and Sasako fills in a pun for Polar Bear. One time when Panda says he's going to be a roller. Polar Bear does several puns, one of which is dealer. Which in a twist to the running gag, Panda admits for once Polar Bear is correct (although Panda meant a car dealer, while Polar Bear meant a casino dealer).

Ship Tease
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_dcb9c541
comment
Ship Tease: Handa develops a crush on Sasasko not long after meeting her and tries to think of ways to ask her out or get her attention. While there's no evidence of Sasako reciprocating, she's still friendly towards him. The show hints at any potential of them getting together: Sasako is the first to greet Handa in the cafe and notices him falling asleep in the cafe's patio. She also may have been the one to drape the blanket over him as he sleeps. If one looks closely at the background when Sasako's ending theme plays, there is a man dressed in Handa's uniform with a broom that pops up at several points. The second opening theme has Sasako riding her bike, and Handa joins her at one point and they converse. The second half of episode 35 centers around him trying to come up with a gift for her. He gives her a shiny stone in a pretty box, and before that she also gives him potatoes since she bought too many of them. Episode 48 has Handa trying to get Sasako a gift for White Day (she gave him obligatory chocolate albeit through Panda, which made Handa happy nevertheless). He gives her mandarin oranges to help her get better when it turns out she's ill.

Bad Guy Bar: Bar The Grizzly certainly looks like a Bad Guy Bar at a glance, typically attracting carnivore animal customers (save for the gorilla, who is more of a powerful herbivore). Averted when he and the customers themselves turn out to be nice guys.

Moment Killer: Llama unintentionally destroys what was shaping up to be a lovely moment between Handa and Sasako when they nearly walk home together. Panda and the rest of the gang unintentionally butt in on potentially nice moments between Handa and Sasasko during the Summer Festival. Penguin lampshades their inability to read the mood.

 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_efd11fe3
comment
A Dog Named "Dog": Most of the characters' names are simply their animal/species names. The only time characters aren't named after their species is when there are multiples of that species (and even then they usually end up with generic names like Panda Mama and Full-Time Panda) or if they're human (and even then, Polar Bear does playfully refer to Masaki as "Human").

Food Porn: Since the show takes place in a cafe, mouth-watering-looking food is usually shown, especially with Polar Bear's desserts and other things he's made. The show likes to spend several seconds on the ingredients as well. Subverted when Sasako creates three cute parfaits in the image of Polar Bear, Panda, and Penguin as test samples for a future menu special. When two curious patrons offer to taste them, they demolish the desserts with such frightening enthusiasm that Polar Bear changes his mind and offers a lunch sampler special instead. The theme song describes several foods to go with the cafe theme: "Let's drink Mocha latte Ole Tea, and add pancakes and ice-cream to that, let's drink strawberry and mango shakes." "And try a bamboo diet!"

Which in a twist to the running gag, Panda admits for once Polar Bear is correct (although Panda meant a car dealer, while Polar Bear meant a casino dealer). Panda tries to imitate Polar Bear's pun humour, but nobody pays attention. It then turns out he is inner-monologuing. Handa adds a few puns himself.

Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_f61cddc9
comment
Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: Animals live in society along with humans in this series, and it's perfectly normal at least in the main cast's town. This leads to some... interesting scenarios. Zoos still exist and function the same way as the real world, and animals happily work there like any other standard job. Animals can also visit the zoo themselves — for example Polar Bear and Penguin go to the zoo, and Polar Bear wants to... go see the resident polar bear diving into a pool. Further lampshaded when a sign outside the exhibit forbids polar bears from entering since it's 'confusing.' Played with when the editor of a local food magazine is a shoebill. He doesn't speak at all, letting his writers speak for him, and acts more like a typical shoebill. Mr. Necktie in the second half of episode 16 also lampshades this. The episode follows how he reacts to the unfamiliar coexistence of humans and animals, given that he is new to the town because of work. In particular, he experiences Polar Bear's cafe and Grizzly's bar. The anime's second opening shows how the humans and animals live and work together.

Drives Like Crazy: Implied with Penguin, as he appears to be easily distracted during driving lessons and has failed his driver's test several times. Polar Bear attempts to teach him, but his advice is largely useless. He eventually does get his driver's license, but Polar Bear and Panda make him twitchy when he's driving.

Running Gag
 Shirokuma Cafe (Manga) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Several gags occur frequently. Panda's fear of his mother's vacuum cleaner, usually leading him to get sucked up and cry, "Don't suck me up!". Polar Bear's puns. Penguin buying far too much bread at Penko's bakery as an excuse to hang around her...and then trying to dump it off at Polar Bear Cafe. Penguin trying to get people to listen to his rakugo and, later on, ventriloquism. The Emperor Penguin and King Penguin chicks playing rope train. Polar Bear interrupting Grizzly's hibernation for mundane reasons. Then Grizzly tries to pre-empt him. Panda and others fawning over his cuteness. Sloth or Tortoise's slowness, for example one of them (or both at the same time) arriving at or finishing up an event long after it's finished. Panda and Full-Time sitting around talking or doing mundane things when they're supposed to be performing for the zoo patrons, which Handa complains to them about. In the paper doll segments at the very end, Polar Bear always teases about what the next episode is going to about (typically things nothing to do with the next episode, leading Penguin to correct him).

The first episode mentions that the reason that Sloth visited the cafe is that he wants to live in Polar Bear's yard. Episode 32 confirms that he in fact, does live in Polar Bear's yard.

Shown Their Work: As an animal series, the effort put into the characters' designs, traits etc is evident. For example, the penguin classification in Episode 19 is spot on, even using the genus names Pygoscelis (for Adelie, Chinstrap, and Gentoo) and Aptenodytes (for King and Emperor). They also describe how the species from genus Pygoscelis got their names. The squirrels teach Masaki all about coffee and give accurate info while doing so.
