The first season of Yuru Camp was remarkable for two predominant reasons – its authoritative and confident audio-visual direction, and the clear intersection of its activity/subculture as a point that directly relates back to its main characters, a technique that enhanced both aspects of the production. However, in many areas, its second season does not feel like an extension or even a sequel, but a step backwards, foregoing any points of interest to retread the same iconography but without approaching any significant ideas in doing so.
Nebulous concepts notwithstanding, it is at least consistently competently made, and never outright generic. The direction displays an understanding of the slice of life genre, what makes it work, and how to condense its motifs efficiently into the confine…

Chill, satisfying, and fulfilling are three words I would use to describe Yuru Camp 2 or Yuru Camp in general. Giving a relaxing vibe, Yuru Camp 2 is an easy-to-watch anime for everyone who is having a bad day or is going through something unpleasant. The production team did a promising job to retain all good elements of the series and even improving them in the process. In this season, Yuru camp focuses on the Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefecture instead of the Yamanashi prefecture previously featured in season one, which introduces beaches and the sea to the series. This season also introduces a new element, geosites (or geospots, as referenced in the series), which can be helpful if you would want to keep track and reference them in real life.
As you would expect, Yuru Camp still has ast…

For context, I rated the first season 9/10. It’s the best camping gear commercial I’ve ever seen, a prime Cannes Lions material. It’s also a superb CGDCT that elevates a low-bar concept with high-bar execution.
So this review is going to focus on breaking down what makes S2 a failure of a sequel:
1. It’s not even the same show.
S1 was a series about cute girls doing camping. There is no camping in S2. Season 2, in its best moments, is a series about cute girls visiting famous tourist traps, and in its worst moment - a series about cute girls eating cake and saying how oishii it is. Yeah, I definitely haven’t seen that in 200 other CGDCT shows before, and it definitely isn’t the bottom of the CGDCT material barrel that mangaka resort to when they run out of ideas. If the title of the serie…

Yuru Camp Season 2 is anime that focus on high school girls do camping and other wholesome thing. This is a sequel for Yuru Camp. There are not a lot of difference between the first season and the second.
Story 10/10
Like the previous season, this anime story is so simple. There are no big problem here. But because the story is simple that does not mean this anime is boring. Because it is so simple you didn't have to worry how the story goes and you can enjoy the show. Also don't forget about the ending, it is amazing. I'm almost cried during the ending because its just so amazing.
Art 10/10
The art in here is really really gorgeous. Also the background is memorable too. Like if i see an art about sea view, mountain view, or beach view, the first thing that come to my mind is Yuru Camp.…

I'll be covering Yuru Camp Season 2, and basically Season 1 while I'm at it and I'll be very blunt: it'll remain the best anime in my heart until and overcoming the day I keel over and die. Very simple. But here's the preamble before I actually get into the exact reasons why I enjoy this little slice of life as much as I do.
I think Yuru Camp is the anime-equivalent of chicken noodle soup for the weary soul, and I think that's why I've rewatched the series over and over again. Season 2 just adds more episodes for me to rewatch now and in the future. It accomplishes what I seek in a slice of life anime, and I think it covers what people tend to gloss over and miss whenever they look for and think of a slice of life anime.
Ask anyone to define a slice of life, and the general answer should…

Yuru Camp is a grossly overrated anime that barely kept my attention all the way to the end. Truly, I was in a grueling death march near the end of the show.
Yuru camp season 2 plays it safe, and overall, is just a step down Non Non Biyori. While nature shots are adequate in Yuru Camp, they're sporadic and are usually still shots that aren't the greatest. Non non biyori features them both in greater frequency and quality. Plus, Yuru Camp is largely a show centered around camping and nature, yet, again, the feeling that you're being immersed in nature while not being overpowering is done so much better in Non Non Biyori. Hell, let's not talk about other series, season 2 isn't even better than season 1 since it barely builds off or branches off anything from season 1.
What makes Yuru Camp…

The truth is that it left me empty not to continue watching this, anime with the Slice of Life genre are few valued and this is undoubtedly one of the best that exist today.
Without a doubt it is better than the first season since here they show more than just a camp, they show what are the things of outdoor life and travel more than anything.
It is as if it were an advertisement from Japan for us to spend vacations in that place but it also gives you a beautiful message from time to time leave your house and spend it at ease with friends without so much confinement, internet or technological things.
This purifies my soul but it breaks my soul that we do not have anime of this style and the closest thing would be Non Non Biyori.
Without more to say, this is very much based on our reali…

Yuru camp is the definition of "comfy".
Ever since the end of first season, Yuru camp has never left me. I went to Japan in end of 2019 til the beginning of 2020 before Corona (Gooooooood old time). I visited Motosuko, where everything started. The kawaii kanban oneesan allowed me a mini camping (my photo shoot actually). When I was on those exact spots, I was so overwhelmed by happiness. I travelled to Kawaguchi (featured in Heya camp) and took the cable car. When I later watch the girls had taken the same trip, I was so happy too.
I genuinely envy these girls. They can so much "mankitsu" (満喫 enjoy to their hearts' content) all that nature has to offer in Yamanashi and Shizuoka (Hamamatsu and Izu). Nadeshiko is always THE best cute eating girl, hardworking, genuinely caring and she coul…

If someone told me that exists an anime that the story is about some girls that like to camp by their own or in groups just to have fun I wouldn't believe it.
I couldn't imagine before that an anime with this premise would be so interesting.
Yuru Camp is an anime with a simple and practical story.
Girls that decide to start camping on peaceful and beautiful places.
When they're not camping, we just see what they normally do on a daily basis.
The story itself doesn't matter much because it's not the main focus.
So you ask me: why I would watch this anime that is just about camping?
And my answer to you is: because this anime is not only about camping!
It's about life that can be lived to the fullest in many ways.
It's about feeling joy and having fun, about enjoying the things around you…

Did this season need to come out?
No
Was this season amazing?
HELL YEAH YOU BET IT WAS
Yuru Camp is one of the best Slice of Life's I have ever watched. You can watch this series without having a care for anything in the world, you really don't need to take anything seriously. There's no extravagant plot, no heart pounding suspense, barely any character development, yet Yuru Camp manages to be absolutely amazing.
The amount of food porn that's in Yuru Camp is actually insane. Everytime there was a food scene, my stomach started creating an internal earthquake. It really didn't help seeing Nadeshiko drool all over her food.
C-Station needs to make more animes, the visuals in this show are ABSOLUTELY stunning. The scenery throughout the show look so pretty and beautiful. I could liter…

tl;dr a slice of life masterpiece. No reason not to give this a shot unless you really dislike this genre. And I stand by that statement even if you're too lazy to watch the 1st season first; S2 is miles ahead of what was already a very strong first season.
I've been wondering for a while what a slice-of-life show would have to do to garner a 10, and Yuru Camp S2 just might be it. This show is the "healing anime" genre polished to a mirror shine. Sure, it doesn't deliver on plot, but if you weren't already scared off by the slice-of-life tag, you're not gonna care. This really is a landmark show in terms of the Cute Girls Slice-of-Life genre that really shows what happens when you give great source material like this the budget and the love it deserves. There is just so much extra effort…

"The things you see, the things you eat, and the time you get to spend contemplating things. I think solo camping is a way to appreciate loneliness."
Yuru Camp is the gargantuan paragon of iyashikei. Imagine working all day in a hectic semester; it's hella cold outside, you're in your blanket at the end of the day with a cup of hot coffee, and you're watching some cute high school girls going out to camp in the countryside japan with a matching atmosphere. The time you spend alone, watching this cozy little show - not with your friends but with yourself alone can make you feel happy to be alive.
Yuru Camp's plot is nothing grandiose, nor does it swathe itself with arcane philosophical themes - but that's the charm of the show. Set in the Japanese countryside, Yuru Camp is an experience…

I love watching anime. I have a deep passion for watching, discussing and critiquing anime. Nuancing my opinions, sharing love for shows and discovering new experiences is what keeps me continuing to watch anime. It is a passion that is hard to really express to people who don’t watch anime, but I sure try to share that deep-rooted passion with others who are willing to listen. I can see this sort of passion in Yuru Camp.
Yuru Camp is a show that means a lot to me. Back in 2018 Yuru Camp was one of the first anime that I watched and I loved every second of it. I listened to the soundtrack on repeat, I tried to let my friends watch it, you could almost say I was obsessed with it. But as the years went by and I watched more and more anime, I started to forget that love that I had for YuruCa…

*This review contains minor spoilers*
At a cursory glance Yuru Camp may be seen as your typical seasonal “cute girls doing X in a cute way”, where X is camping, show. In addition, with all the places and food presented, this anime may be seen as a hollow travel advertisement. With a more thorough examination… the first impression does not fail. However, it does not matter. Despite its shallowness, Yuru Camp is perfect the way it is.
Imagine this. Schoolgirls decide to go on their greatest trip ever after a midterm exam. As always, one girl is no good at studying. Now, what do you expect? As for me, a failure at the first try, getting better and eventually strengthening the bonds of friendship. Well, Yuru Camp does not care.
Finally, the show which considers its place and masterly perf…

Rin-channnnnn! Shimarin and the girls are back for another super cozy season of camping and boy was it perfect. I really do not think C-Station could have done a better job on this show, every second of it is so amazing. Yuru camp never fails to leave me yearning for the outdoors after every episode.
Yuru camp is exactly as advertised. Cute girls going on cozy camping trips, while also teaching you about the outdoors and the basics of camping. Watching this show probably makes me smile at least 30 times per episode, its just that cute. Just watching the girls saving up their money for camping trips, walking around a campsite, or just sharing a meal at a restaurant makes for a stellar episode.
The art and sound are so incredibly top notch. C-Station has done such amazing work on the anima…

They say that good things come to those who wait. And after the sheer excellence that the first season of Yuru Camp delivered, fans were chomping at the bits to have more. And now after 3 years of waiting, the long awaited sequel season has come at what I believe is the perfect time. With the world being in utter chaos, we needed something that slows things down and shows the beauty of the world in which we inhabit.
Season 2 kicks off directly after the end of season 1, with the girls just ending their Holiday vacation and enjoying the New Year’s sights. As the season progresses, Yuru Camp tackles topics such as earning money for new equipment and how vitally important it is to be informed and prepared; but it also gives development to its characters making this more than just “cute girls…

If there were such a thing as a Mt. Rushmore of anime, Yuru camp would be on it. This is really one of the greatest anime of all time and season 2 only reaffirms its ranking.
What makes Yuru Camp great is not grandiose writing, world building or plot developments. Instead, its greatness lies in its simplicity. An anime that teaches you the ins and outs of camping, outdoor life and encourages you to go out and be active might not sound like the most exciting thing on paper, but in its near flawless execution it pulls you in and makes you fall in love.
If you’re here, you’ve probably seen the first season of Yuru Camp. Simply put, season two is better in every way. It’s everything we had in season, but there’s an emphasis on Nadeshiko and Rin’s character development that we see pay off in…

The beautiful and loveable camper girls are back, with twice (or longer) the distances of the camping journey, twice the moving action, and twice the fun, all in the same Iyashikei package as how Season 1 was like exactly 3 years ago from Winter 2018.
To quote ANN's Christopher Farris (full credits to him, some parts paraphrased):
"Obviously there are anime with more grand storytelling ambitions and meaningful idea communication than C-Station's calculatedly comfy cute-girl camping compilation. But in a season, as with any other, that included projects walking a razor's edge of their own success or outright collapsing under their own efforts, Yuru Camp sticks out for the wonderfully consistent entertainment value it spins out of its humble content week after week. Actually...maybe ‘consis…

Winter is the perfect time for camping. Would you agree?
In the winter season 2018 we all enjoyed the camping tour of our girls for the first time, three years later the long-awaited continuation is finally here and the comfiness continues!
We all already know what "Yuru Camp△" (don't forget the little tent) is about: Camping! The story is just as simple and ingenious as we know it from the previous season. But wait, we experience Nadeshiko camping alone for the first time without her friends. Can that go well? Camping items are also quite expensive, so she has to take a part-time job to be able to afford all the trips. Of course, we get to see many new beautiful locations, the view is simply wonderful. Just having fun together and experiencing new adventures is the most important thing.…

"I think solo camping is a way to appreciate loneliness."
Great cute girl anime have an effervescent quality to them that never fails to casually curl either corner of my mouth no matter how inane or minimalist the antics on screen become. By now, we’re all familiar with quiddities/odds and ends of a cute girl anime as they’re thoroughly ingrained in the genetic code that makes anime...well…“anime”. What shows like “Yuru Camp” lack in narrative heft they make up for through sheer force of charm. And that’s not to say that shows pigeonholed as “CGDCT” are entirely bereft of anything worthwhile, as the narrative often goes. I say this without a lick of irony, but cute girl anime almost form a sort of parasocial relationship with their audience, more-so than a lot of other genres. This is d…
