I started watching this anime out of curiosity and decided to follow a guide to watch it in order. I was really interested in the slice of life concept with a camping theme, and the first season did not disappoint me at all. I can’t say the same about the special episodes and Heya Camp, which were so boring and monotonous that I almost dropped the series. Still, I decided to give it another chance with the second season, and overall I liked it, though the ending felt strange, almost too repetitive of what we had already seen.
The good:
The characters: there’s more development for some of the supporting cast in relation to camping. Aoi, Aki, and Ena get their own moments going on a trip together. Nadeshiko also has solid character growth throughout the season. Rin remains the same, but she…

There are few animes out there, that I rate a masterpiece, but Yuru Camp definitely is.
Not because it is a perfect anime overall (it also has it flaws: f.e. it is not the best (but surely not the worst by far) animated anime, it has not much "story" to it), but in it's core parts:
- a "realistic" SoL feeling and CGDCT
- interesting camping / travel experience (with a lot of detailed real locations)
- giving the watcher a laid back "vacation" feeling
- giving the watcher a good mood / feeling overall
this anime is second to none and simply put: a masterpiece.
Even if I'm troubled or not in a good mood, this anime helps me to ease my mind and gives me a good feeling.
Yuru Camp is a must-watch for all SoL fans!

Have you ever experienced the feeling of a post-high depression? Perhaps you spent time with family/friends/loved ones or you just finished an event you were looking forward to. . . And then it suddenly hits you that it’s time to say goodbye?
That’s what this is. Is a cute and sweet, wholesome, slow-burn anime that feels as natural as breathing. In a way, all these characters feel like your friends. I cared about them all. I loved seeing them just exist. I loved co-existing with them.
And then Nadeshiko sums it up really well at the end - it’s hard to not feel sad when it’s over. It’s such . . . A unique way of making an audience cry. Now you have to say goodbye to all your friends. And now you have to move in.
Masterpiece of a show.

1. Storyline:
Yuru Camp△ Season 2 continues the relaxing adventures of the main characters as they explore a new camping location. The story focuses on Nadeshiko Kagamihara, Rin Shima, and their friends from the outdoor club at school. In this second season, the storyline delves deeper into the characters' backgrounds and motivations while introducing more exotic and charming camping sites. While maintaining a relaxed atmosphere and light comedy, the second season adds an emotional touch that helps the audience connect more with the characters.
2. Character Development:
The character development in Season 2 is particularly noteworthy. Each character receives additional screen time and personal story arcs. For example, Rin Shima experiences significant growth as she opens up to others an…

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…

Yuru Camp is basically the most wholesome and agreeable thing I’ve ever watched. But lots of anime are cute and wholesome. But very few have the moments of sheer beauty that fill Yuru Camp. It also offers generous lessons on how to enjoy life to the fullest - delicious food, friendship, the wonders of nature, the satisfaction of accomplishing tasks and relying on yourself, etc. Also, the realism of the actual locations and the practical aspects of camping make you really respect the work and take it seriously. If after we died, we entered the world of Yuru Camp and lived there forever, that would be heaven.

I can't fathom how this series makes a typically plodding genre so spellbinding, but it does and continues to do so to an even more wonderful degree in this second instalment. Yuru Camp has always touched on themes of coming of age, adulthood, bonds and identity with remarkable subtlety and nuance, but it delves into even more heartrending layers of these topics in this second season. I have always loved how Rin and Nadeshiko influenced each other to open up their respective worlds while still holding true to what makes each girl them, and this is even more clear in this season. The segment where Nadeshiko, inspired by Rin, tries solo camping for the first time, is just so, so beautiful—it's a small yet amazing thing to be pushed into trying new things thanks to someone you love, and Yuru…

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…

+ One of the best visual scenery in anime, it really gives a serene atmosphere using wide and silent shots of the natural landmark
+ The series can serve as a guide for tourism in Japan, especially in Yamanashi Prefecture and the surrounding area of Mount Fuji (camping or not)
+ It also depicts rural Japan in a great way, with their small town and its vast public and tourism infrastructure
+ Arguably the most wholesome and laid-back (of course) anime ever released, with no conflict or drama with an "always positive" attitude characters
+ Every character has their own distinct trait and it also elevates how they all interact with each other. It also develops the characters nicely from strangers to camping buddies, and finally to best friends

(A review of both seasons)
Wow, this anime was truly different in a lot of ways. In good, but also bad ways. First of all, I really enjoyed this for the scenery, adventure and nature. The shots of Fuji, all the lakes and everything made my heart skip a few beats so many times. They first managed to do it in the very first episode. I'd recommend this anime to anyone who is passionate about nature, hiking, camping, or even taking walks. It truly is beautiful.
As for the characters, I was honestly really surprised to see how much depth they have. They might live solely for the purpose of camping, but they weren't the stereotypical "tsundere one, yandere one, cringe one, popular one,..." characters like in other shows. All of the girls had their perks and unique personalities, making them sup…

Yuru Camp△ Season 2, just like Season 1 is a beautifully crafted and visually stunning love letter to the beauty and culture of Japan.
Watching girls going camping in unbelievably beautiful settings from the comfort of my bed is always a treat.
The story is pretty typical. Rin does her typical solo camping with Nadeshiko and the gang doing their own things, but wait, Nadeshiko wants to try out solo camping as well. She experiences the beauty of loneliness that Rin had found in solo camping. Rin and Sakura ensuring her safety from afar. Aoi, Chiaki, and Ena try to camp and neglect to check the weather and find themselves amidst a dangerous cold but are rescued by a heated yurt and diligent friends. The finale group camping arc on the Izu Peninsula was a great end, with the birthday and…

THE MOST RELAXING SERIES OF ALL TIME? WE'RE SEEING HISTORY BEING MADE!
OOOOH, i get excited when i talk about Yuru Camp. Maybe you too. I’m a trully fan of the series and for me, was a long wait for the 2 season. Rin, Nadeshiko, Aoi, Chiaki and Ena finally back! The quality of the anime hasn't changed compared to the first season and the music, scenario, characters...everything is amazing. Is a trully enjoyment watching this anime.
The comfort that this anime generates is something incredible. Who knew that camping characters would be so relaxing, I don't even know how to explain how I feel watching this.
Basically this anime have 3 principles: WATCH, RELAX and HAVE FUN. In the first episode i achieved this goal.
Not forgetting to say: this is a healing anime. Cure stress, sadness, an…

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…

Hold it right there! Why not take a break from those intense action, tear-jerking drama, comedic romance anime and take a look at this masterpiece.
If I were to use a word to describe Yuru Camp, it is comfortable. Watching Yuru Camp feels like sipping a cup of tea, enjoying your favorite book over a smooth music with your night lamp turned on.
The most captivating part about Yuru Camp is definitely the art, the scenery. If you are a huge fan of beautiful scenery and always an enthusiast for scenery hotspot during your travels, you are definitely in for a treat. The sceneries were well drawn and almost similar to what you can see in real life to the extent that I lost count on how many times I mentioned "Wow, I want to visit there right now!". I did not personally went to those well know…

the title says it all. it's laid-back.
if you've been busy doing stuff for school or at work, or just bored in general, this is the perfect anime to watch if you're not in the mood for something too thrilling. everything in this show is just pure chill, and it's great. honestly i wish that there were more anime like this. the characters are all likeable, and the locations are based on real places. its that good.
A MUST WATCH if you want to take a break from thrillers and all that stuff. it's a good change of pace.
Story: 10/10
Honestly there really isn't a story, it's just chill.
Art: 10/10
The art is WONDERFUL. Like, seriously.

It sounds good especially the smallest sound effects that are hard to notice.
Characters: 10/10
All of them are likeable. There isn't a single ch…

Loved the iyashikei plus foodie vibe of Yuru Camp△ so I went into this with high expectations
Story 7/10 and Character 8/10
It's about a girl whose grandfather loves camping, and handed down camping gear to his grand daughter, who frequently goes solo-camping, in the winter. This is peak Iyashikei anime, feel-good slice of life, with a heavy focus on camping and food, way more so than in Season 1. Normally I'm not into Cute Girls Doing Cute Things, but here, it was wholesome. Even the dog is adorable.
The friendships felt real, not forced and evolve from Season 1. Rin, the introvert loner, is slowly integrating into the friend group. She still needs "me" time and will go solo camping. Nadeshiko, the most extroverted of the group, has aspirations to work in the camping industry and begins…

Yuru Camp Season 2 is essentially just more of the Yuru Camp you're expecting, just improved upon in pretty much every way. If you were a fan of the first season you'll like this one as well, if you weren't this probably won't change your mind.
Because this is a direct continuation from last season it gets into the cozy goodness alot sooner than the first season, as Aki, Aoi, and Ena have already been introduced and properly established. I am glad this season we got to see these 3 camp together separately from Nadeshiko and Rin; last season they were relevant characters but still didn't feel as important as those two. Season 2 gives us alot more time with them, along with the alcoholic sensei who felt almost tacked on last minute in season 1. Some of the supporting characters also get a l…

Yuru Camp△ is one of the best animes I watched in 2021. I had the opportunity to watch the first and second seasons in a row. As the "Yoshiaki Kyougoku" director directed both seasons – and his approach to theme and story were very similar – it won't be necessary for me to make an isolated comment on both.
While I was thinking about the main idea to write about the anime, it came to my mind at times that he could criticize a state of loneliness of the characters, but soon that idea fell apart.
The work provides several very pleasurable moments, but with different impacts. There is a contrast between a meditative and isolated state with a “restlessness” among the main characters.
The first form that fits into this contrast is this more “meditative”. He places a very strong emphasis on th…

Season 1 turned out to be a surprise hit. Practically no one knew about C-Station until a super wholesome anime with impeccably-researched artwork, a sublime soundtrack, and some of the funniest gags of the year inspired anime fans to try out the great outdoors (including yours truly). It also featured one of the best epilogues in anime, bookending the first episode and portraying a friendship truly worth having. Yuru Camp was neither a soaring epic tale, nor was it a rapid-fire comic strip adaptation, it was just good old fashioned fun that happened to feature a bunch of high school girls.
So how do you top that performance?
In many ways, more of the same. Same director, same composer, probably same animation and research teams. Because this is meant to lead up to the movie, and because…

Some of the better sequels out there build on what the original property did well. The second season of Yuru Camp does this in only the most incremental of ways, with a plot so paper-thin as to almost be non-existent in what is the epitome of the Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime sub-genre. And yet, somehow – and I say this with confidence – Yuru Camp Second Season is among my favourite shows in this already-packed season.
There’s a lot less to build up to and to set down in the second season of Yuru Camp. The first season does a fantastic job introducing us to the main cast and establishing their roles in their little camping group and the relationships they have with one another. Chiaki is the comedic relief; Aoi, the calm, collected, rather conniving one while Ena, the most normal per…
