''Yuri Kuma Arashi'' (''Yuri Bear Storm'') is an anime directed by KunihikoIkuhara ([[AuthorAppeal in true style]]) that is airing as part of the Winter2015Anime season. It should not be confused with the manga ''Yuri Kuma Arashi'' made by Morishima Akiko, which shares characters and an art style but little else.

* ShoutOut: The design of the school is lifted almost directly from ''{{Suspiria}}'', as noted [[http://violent-waffles.tumblr.com/post/107443278956/yuri-kuma-arashi-ep-1-suspiria-click-for here]], and its name is a reference to the Japanese title for ''WutheringHeights''.

* YuriGenre: 'Yuri' is even in the show's ''title'', and you'll see almost as many lilies in ''Anime/YuriKumaArashi'' as you'll see roses in ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''. The majority of the characters have 'yuri' somewhere in their name.

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: Sumika dies.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The show goes well out of its way to make it clear that when the bears talk about eating women we should be thinking about them, erm, doing just that.

* WorldOfSymbolism: Eating girls is clearly used as a metaphor for sex, and there are signs that the bears themselves are intended to represent lesbians.

---> ''Everything is going to be daijoubu.''

* SchoolgirlLesbians: And by far Ikuhara's most blatant yet - the very open minutes of the anime show Kureha and Sumika declaring their love for one another, and the OP is filled with shots of the three main girls hugging each other naked.

One day, the planet Kumalia exploded, sending fragments of rock hurtling down to earth. This meteor shower caused all of the bears on earth to suddenly rise up and start feasting on humans. As a result, the Wall of Extinction was built, protecting the humans from the bears.

Safely within the confines lives Kureha, an ordinary girl who is devoted to her girlfriend, the sweet Sumika. Unbeknownst to her, two bears infiltrate her class at school as humans in order to eat more girls. These girls are also lovers, and one of them, Ginko, is immediately attracted to Kureha's delicious scent. Kureha vows to protect Sumika from any trouble, but soon, Sumika is captured and eaten by Ginko and Lulu. Kureha is enraged, so when she gets a call telling her that her love for Sumika can be proven if she meets a couple of bears on the school's roof, she races to meet them gun in hand.
