Well, did you ever change your mind? What do you think of Chloe?

I did, actually, change my mind regarding Grizz. I like Chloe as a character, and I love Grizz, but I\'m still rather lukewarm on Panda and Ice Bear.

Beary Disappointing Characterization
I went into We Bare Bears with high hopes- great art, great animation, and a spectacular theme song by Estelle. This, plus the hype from Tumblr, had me excited for what I believed was going to be a great show.
What I got after watching "Panda's Date" and "Viral Video" was a bad case of Hype Backlash and a lingering sense of disappointment. My main issue is the characters- specifically, the bears. All three of them strike me as strictly one-note: Grizz is an impulsive loudmouth, Panda is awkward and love-hungry, and Ice Bear is the deadpan polymath. The brotherly bonding moments between the trio feel forced, particularly between Grizz and Panda- after seeing the way Grizz teases Panda so much, I have trouble believing that they get along at all.
Again, this is only an opinion formed after seeing a couple of early episodes, and I'm sincerely hoping we'll see more and better characterization later on in the series. I'll try to watch more and see how I feel about it after some more episodes.
