"It's the white bear! I will be eaten!!", if you thought love had boundaries in the fauna world - you were wrong!
I remember stumbling upon the short video clips by chance, what actually caught my attention was the cute art. When I played it though...I realized that it is a short movie that tells the story of a polar bear falling for a male seal. It sounds...unique, doesn't it?

Plot: The plot is not that rich on a back story or anything too engaging, per se, engaging one's attention. The short movie, which I believe is divided into a few very, very short clips, could be considered comedy. The seal is amazingly cute and the bear is ...amazingly gentle (well, given the fact the bear is supposed to be the predator, ahaha). The story, when isolated from the comedy, is very cute and can cheer you up. It's a great choice, if you are looking for something to kill time with, relax with and at the same time is nothing long or mood-killing - this is a good pick. I am giving it a 7 out of 10.

Characters' Design: I mentioned it already, but the art is cute enough to make the two main and only characters likeable. The seal and the polar bear are displayed as the perfect (white) match. In fact, that's the point of the whole story. So, the plot itself is based on the characters' appearance. I don't think it's a bad idea even though the show also features homosexuality. I would rate it with a 7 out of 10.

Visuals/Art: The visuals are rather simple, the color-scheme is soft and gentle as well. I guess it is to be expected when we speak of a one-minute show, but despite its simplicity and no vividness of color effects I like it..I think that makes it likeable, along with the voice acting. Before I get onto the voice acting rating, I would give the visuals a 6 out of 10. I am pretty harsh when it comes to art, huh.

Voice Acting: I guess the combination of Yuuichirou Umehara and Natsuki Hanae was a good bet! Yuuichirou's ikemen's voice makes the gentlemanly bear's appearance completed. I am not well introduced to these two voice actors, but I have to say Yuuichirou's voice intrigued me! I will rate the voice acting with an 8 out of 10.

Overall, as a finishing thought - the movie was a good way to make me chuckle all by myself, when I was looking for something to kill time with. So, as a final score...I will go with a stable 7/10.
