Winter 2018 First Impressions #2 - Yuru Camp△

Nice to see you again, and hello.
The anime I will be looking at today is one by the name of Yuru Camp△.

At the very beginning you see all of the girls together around a campfire enjoying marshmallows together talking about nothing in particular which not only feels more or less pointless but probably is.

After the opening plays we are shown one of the girls driving along the highway with scenery like a painting, which could of been problematic since the painting-like background do not mesh very well with the rest of the world when in motion and two trees look awkward as they're pulled away from the audience's vision to create a effect of them passing the camera by. When you focus on the scenery people are bound to notice this, thankfully for most of the episode the camera remained still and it does look pretty stunning otherwise.

  • The girl traveling is Rin Shima who is camping during the winter in order to take in the surrounding nature alone. At first I was going to praise this show for showing her setting up a tent instead of having her tell us the process of doing so by way of monologue, as this should be reserved for a more natural opportunity, this remains true however it does something even worse in that it explains some basic tips of how to start a campfire by way of narration. To be fair it is crucial to show what the anime is about in the very first episode so something like this should be expected. But considering they already had narration once then it's very unlikely that they won't drop this in substantial episodes, meaning that even if more natural ways to explain different aspects camping presets themselves, at least a few will still be left to narration.
  • Rin comes across Nadeshiko Kagamihara several times sleeping on the steps of the public restroom, when she finally does wake up she comes to Rin for help and explains she has become lost after moving to a new city and has misplaced her cellphone and is unaware of her new phone number. This is a more smoothing moment as the two girls enjoy a cup of ramen together under the brilliant moonlight, allowing for the two to bond and befriend one another. Nadeshiko realizes that while she doesn't know her phone number, she remembers her sister's. While I could complain about the issue presented being easily resolved I don't really think they could of dragged it on very much longer, not in a way that would be interesting anyways.

I said a lot of negative things about this anime, but I was simply looking at it from a objective standpoint as to point out the things it could of done and executed in a better manner, overall I think it was a enjoyable experience, I see the potential in it and will likely continue watching it until the end and would recommend this title to fans of the slice of life genre. That's it for this post, but if you haven't already then please check out my impressions of Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san. And tomorrow I will take a look at Ito Junji: Collection as well as Toji no Miko , until then I hope you have a wonderful day.
