You can stream Polar Bear Cafe (2012) on Crunchyroll with a subscription.

Pushed by his mother to stop lazing around the house, a Panda searches for a part-time job but has troubling finding one to accommodate his laziness. He soon stumbles upon the Shirokuma Cafe, run by a Polar Bear who is holding interviews for a part-time position with his faithful customer Penguin. Panda applies for the job but fails the interview, with the job instead going to a human girl named Sasako. However, the others soon point Panda towards a part-time job at a nearby zoo.

A sun-drenched, whimsical cafe serves as the unlikely stage for a slow-motion comedy of errors involving a lethargic panda. This slice-of-life animation finds humor in the quiet, absurd struggles of adulthood and the charm of its animal residents.
