Holyshit, totally agree, that soundtrack is "epic".
September 20, 2018 @ 5:06 am
IS THAT MAMI TOMOE IN THE INTRO??? i love it

Not sure why you picked sound design then described music and dialogue. There’s no sound design at all in the soundtrack, it’s all acoustic instruments to reflect the rural feel. Sound Design isn’t just an edgy term for ‘all of the audio’. Yuru Camp is the shit though. Most comfy I’ve ever felt watching an anime.

lol

I wonder how many people watched it because they accidentally read it as "Yuri Camp"
September 20, 2018 @ 5:18 am
I agree sooo much with everything you say in this video !
September 20, 2018 @ 5:18 am
Like is an understatement! I have been following this series for about 9 months now, and my god, every second of it has been pure joy! It is a 10/10 in my book! Shimarin best girl! I got 2 wall scrolls, I have pre-ordered Nendroids and other goodies!
September 20, 2018 @ 5:18 am
Holy shit, you’re like a Jack Black’s younger brother.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:19 am
YES finally the Yuru Camp video Ive been waiting for! No one has been giving it attention.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:20 am
You bring up a great point with this video! It’s always tough to recommend a lot of the anime I watch because my pitch ultimately boils down to "well, these girls uh, live their lives and it’s fun." We have to really thank Japan for offering such a unique take on media; with giving us the gift of slice of life and iyashikei. The only equivalent genre in Western media I can think of are… sitcoms.

Great vid with comparing this anime with the theme of simplicity and how it accomplishes just that.
Even though this anime follows a very simple story line; about high school girls going camping. The anime did a great job bringing good visuals with an interesting group of girls that developed new bonds of friendship and a deeper bond for camping.

great review! i love yuru camp?
September 20, 2018 @ 5:25 am
I have a love hate relationship with slice of life anime, sometimes I love them and other times I just can’t stand them. Most of the time I just don’t even bother but when one does draw me in it’s usually the theme or the characters that does it, which makes sense given the nature of slice of life. Yuru Camp just never really did it for me, I’m not 100% sure why but most of the slice of life that start and end at cute girls doing cute things just end up boring me (Lucky Star being the only exemption that comes to mind, and I put that completely in the hands of my love for Konata).

Rin is best girl. Feel free to block me if you disagree
September 20, 2018 @ 5:31 am
Tanaka-kun is always listless was so good! I understand the point you’re trying to make- shows that are just simple and make you feel good are entirely needed.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:31 am
I’m so glad you’re talking about this show I’ve loved it since it came out
September 20, 2018 @ 5:32 am
This anime makes me want to go camping.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:32 am
Maybe Alex Jones was right, after Fukushima even pinecones started talking in Japan
September 20, 2018 @ 5:33 am
I avoid watching this anime before I go to sleep because I might doze off halfway through. NOT saying that the anime is boring, it’s because it’s just so chill, TOO chill. I love it
September 20, 2018 @ 5:34 am
i love all ur videos and seriously that outro is so clever and nice
September 20, 2018 @ 5:34 am
cozy
September 20, 2018 @ 5:34 am
Escapism gonna be the death f us all.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:35 am
Yuru camp > Sora yori mo tooi basho
September 20, 2018 @ 5:38 am
Laid-back Camp is solid but lacks the finesse of Non Non Biyori or Nichijo imo. The pinecones took me out of the experieince if anything.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:39 am
Aw shit I kind of totally forgot how good the music was! It sort of blends and fits so well when I’m watching but I can’t really remember what it sounds like after the fact.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:43 am
Slice of life is the best anime genre :3
September 20, 2018 @ 5:43 am
Just now noticing, the girl with the glasses– her front bangs are tucked in front of her glasses. Yuck, that would feel so weird, and looks weird too.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:45 am
yuru camp IS A MASTERPIECE
September 20, 2018 @ 5:46 am
This video is silly, uninspired, and shows a fundamental lack of understanding toward how Slice of Life anime works.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:46 am
Yuru Camp is tied for my favorite anime this season. You really ca(m)ptured the appeal of the show and anime as a whole. My spirit has been re-kindled to go enjoy watching more anime and experience feelings of conTENT with some slice of life series.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:52 am
I thought the title said "Yuri camp." Still going to finish because I love the content.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:53 am
For me Yuru Camp is the best healing anime since the last season of Hidamari Sketch ended and exactly what the doctor ordered before you go to sleep.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:53 am
Why does this anime remind me of Animal Crossing ?? (For people who know what it is)
September 20, 2018 @ 5:54 am
this: 2:35 song, i was looking for it for some time and cant find it, whats the name? or link to it?
September 20, 2018 @ 5:54 am
ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT YURU CAMP *ISN’T* A MASTERPIECE?! I WILL FIGHT YOU! :3
September 20, 2018 @ 5:57 am
Honestly, the simpler a show is, the more i’m content to watch it. When you have such a simplistic plot entertaining the viewer is harder, and that allows forms of creativity that is needed to keep the view interested. And those ideas to keep them entertained wouldn’t have been done with some kind of action packed plot lmao.
September 20, 2018 @ 5:58 am
I think what helps is that it’s pretty educational too. With the narrator giving important information about how to pitch a tent or which stove would be best for which situation. It really is the little things that stand out the most. Like Rin messing with the dogs on the leesh, one just out of reach but the other long enough to tackle her. Or when Rin and Nodeshiko exchange texts each showing the landscape of where they are at the moment. Camping separately but still together in spirit.
September 20, 2018 @ 6:02 am
I missed what you recommended, i didnt really understand the title. If possible, can someone spell it out for me? Thanks!
September 20, 2018 @ 6:04 am
I feel that what you are describing is the entire "iyashikei" genre which essentially the art of doing fuck all because you have no worries. Stuff like Flying Witch and Barakamon are the more palatable picks from this genre while Aria and Natsume’s Book of Friends stand more as classics. Enjoy!
