History YMMV / ShirokumaCafe

* {{Retcon}}: In episode 1 part 2. Panda is shown taking the bus to get to the zoo. While later episodes show that the zoo is in short walking distance from the cafe, and in turn Panda's house.

* FurryConfusion: In "Panda's Problems" Anteater admits she hates eating ants, and would rather eat Pork Ramen. So it seems either pigs are not sentient to the point where they're okay to eat, or there is massive FridgeHorror implied.

** Also the three intros, especially the first.

** Also the three intros.

** [[KikukoInoue Grizzly's mother]] claiming she's only seventeen years old, and the other animals' surprise at her looks for her age which follows, is realistic if you think of a wild grizzly's lifespan.

** Shirokuma is ridiculously nice to Panda, resulting in a predictably popular ship, if all the fanart on Pixiv is anything to go by. This is a bit of a RelationshipVoiceActor reference, as it wouldn't be the first time TakahiroSakurai (Shirokuma) and JunFukuyama (Panda) gets cast together in HoYay-friendly roles: most notably Suzaku and Lelouch in ''CodeGeass''.

** In episode 44, [[spoiler:Panda himself. Watching him breaking down SOBBING shortly after he learns that Full-Time Panda was transferred to Singapore is completely gut-wrenching. Afterwards, Mr. Handa asks him if it's okay if he could work three days until they find another Panda to work, and Panda decides to work a full seven days a week, driving himself to exhaustion.]]

* FridgeLogic: Panda's [[LazyBum laziness]] and [[BigEater perpetual hunger]] make sense when you think that a bamboo diet is neither nutritious nor energetic and requires constant topping up. His mother is probably more energetic since she seems to have a more (realistically) varied diet...

** Episode 48 has Handa trying to get Sasako a gift for White Day, with the animals attempting to give them advice.

* HilariousInHindsight: [[MemeticMutation The Social Awkward Penguin]] got a species/genus makeover and is now an anime character[[note]]The meme and the original manga are contemporaneous in appearance, so they probably weren't inspired by each other (as well as Socially Awkward Penguin being an Adelie rather than an Emperor)[[/note]]

** Rin Rin, due to Panda finding him {{abhorrent|admirer}}.

* TearJerker: Episode 44 seems to do all it can to be depressing.

* HoYay: It's odd to think bears can have HoYay[[note]]female homosexuality has been recorded in wild bears, though[[/note]], but Grizzly and Shirokuma occasionally strays into HoYay territory, the ending of episode 42 is especially full of fuel for this. Some feel the same way about Shirokuma and Penguin, especially after Shirokuma posed as Penguin's date.

** A one sided version between Rin Rin and Panda. So blatant that it's a blant StalkerWithACrush case.
