Even during summer break, the Amusement Club lives up to its name! When Akari Akaza, Kyouko Toshinou, Chinatsu Yoshikawa, and Yui Funami find a camping tent, they decide to put it to good use by spending the weekend outside in the mountains. When some student council members catch wind of this, they are invited to come along as well. After a very long journey, the group arrives at their destination and is ready to make the most of their trip. They engage in classic camping activities, such as outdoor cooking and tests of courage, and finish it all off with a visit to the hot springs. An extravagant trip like this doesn't happen every day, but the Amusement Club is sure to savor each moment. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

It's been almost 2,5 years of waiting but Yuru Yuri is finally back! Assuming you've seen both seasons of the TV-series prior to this, there is little need for introduction and thus I will keep this short. It's the same good old character cast as it has always been; Akari's hair buns are still detachable, Chinatsu's artistic skills are still frighteningly bad and TOSHINOU KYOUKO is still as whimsical and energetic as ever in her tomato outfit. In this 1-hour OVA, after a rather... *unexpected* opening scene, the story is about the whole group going on a camping trip in the summer. It's a very typical slice-of-lifestory without any unusual elements attached to it. However the comedy, the light Yuri moments and the relaxing atmosphere of the series is still as good as it ever was, showing that Yuru Yuri's concept is far from dead yet. Furthermore we get brand new opening and ending themes for this special alone, both of which are very catchy in typical Yuru Yuri fashion. I also felt like the animation quality was all-round improved here compared to the TV-series. Overall, while simplistic this OVA still manages to once again show why Yuru Yuri is and always has been one of the absolute best slice-of-life moe comedies in the anime industry, and it should thus be considered a must-watch for anyone willing to call themselves a fan of the original series. As a final note, at one point this OVA also gave an implication that the show may return in the future in some shape or form. So... season 3 when? EDIT: As of March 7th, Yuru Yuri 3rd Season has now been confirmed~ :)

If you're reading this, I'm going to assume you've seen both seasons of Yuru Yuri already, and wondering how the OVA stood up to the original aired series. In short: It was everything all Yuru Yuri fans wanted (and needed!). With the exception of the first five minutes, which was a funny engrish over the top parody scene. The entire OVA stayed true to all of the characters, and any returning fan will be very pleased with how they brought back their favorite characters. Another great element they kept bringing back were the running jokes from the series. Ayano's Puns, Chinatsu's terrible art, Akarin's nonexistence, and most of the others are here too. None of the jokes ever seemed forced or rushed either, the entire time it legitimately felt like a Yuru Yuri episode. I was a little worried it'd just be another shitty OVA made by the company for some quick sales, but that was definitely not the case. I want to keep this short, but to TLDR everything, I'd say if you enjoyed Yuru Yuri, you'll enjoy this. It was an amazing feeling to be able to watch my favorite show again and laugh at the same type of humor Yuru Yuri brings to the table. Here's to hoping season 3 soon!

They did everything right with this one, and everyone who has seen the previous two seasons should watch this, or at least if they want to experience the most relaxing and beautiful OVA ever. I know you do. In this hour-long episode, the Yuru Yuri girls travel on a camping trip, which totally hasn't been done before by anyone. The first thing you'll notice is the new animation. It's beautiful. If you exclude the five minute Engrish opening scene, the OVA radiates an aura of calmness and serenity, which actually diverts quite a bit from the usual show, but it's done in such a way thatyou can't do anything but enjoy it. Whether the girls are toying around at school, or chilling up in the mountains, the episode is pure eye candy (camping episodes are perfect for eye candy material and mandatory nature shots!) and the sounds are so calm that it'd cure insomnia if you'd choose to sleep to it. It's like they put the Yuru Yuri characters in Non Non Biyori (check that anime out if you enjoyed this). I'm very glad that the OVA touches all the things that made the show great, from the running gags, to the supporting characters, and all the other details that ties the show together. They paid attention to it all, and they didn't go overboards with it either, so it totally feels like Yuru Yuri without it feeling too forced. So yeah, we get a new OP and ED, an hour-long episode with our favourite moeblobs, and one of the most relaxing, fun and beautiful OVAs I've watched, so of course I'll recommend this to Yuru Yuri fans. It'll get you hyped for season 3. 10/10

Most appraisals of YuruYuri commend its uniqueness that defied the cliches associated with the Moe-Slice of Life genre, as well as its vast potential as a series. As of today, the legacy of YuruYuri is safely carried on by the newest iteration in the series, YuruYuri Nachuyachumi. The story of Nachuyachumi can never be described in a few general terms because it is separated into two distinct parts: The OVA originals and the manga adaptations. I will review them separately. Firstly, the OVA originals mostly consist of the camping trip story arc. Unfortunately, to many viewers a camping trip might seem vapid and mundane. However, bear inmind that a camping trip is also the type of endeavor which is challenging and rewarding enough for middle school girls to earnestly take part in. Secondly, the Manga adaptations offered subtle delights to those who read the manga. It must be mentioned that the Engrish scene is adapted from one of the funniest manga chapters. Although most adaptations are inspired by interesting chapters, the highlight is how seamlessly the adapted stories mesh with the Camping arc. The art of Nachuyachumi made a significant improvement over the previous anime. To be fair, I would say the two aspects of improvement are fluidity of animated movements and complexity of the art. Last but not least, Nachuyachumi sustained YuruYuri's trend of having good OP/EDs. The OP retained the distinct jingle that defined YuriYurararaYuruYuri Dijiken and Koi no Bakkin Buckingham. The ED made a break with tradition as it emphasizes on cherishing time at school. It is well made; the melody fits the theme even without help from the translated lyrics. All in all, with Nachuyachumi and another anime project in place, I believe that YuruYuri is on the way to become a fully fledged franchise.

Watching YuruYuri Nachuyachumi is like reuniting with an old friend, and the spark of friendship reignites. I remember when I watched seasons one and two back in 2012, and I liked it a lot. However, the ending for the second season felt incomplete, and that has bothered me for a long time. Thus, when this OVA was announced, I was so hyped that you wouldn't even believe it! Luckily, the hype I had was well worth it. In case you're not familiar with YuruYuri, it's basically a slice-of-life centering around around four middle school girls, Akari Akaza, Kyoko Toshino, Yui Funami, and Chinatsu Yoshikawa. Akari, Kyoko,and Yui are childhood friends who form the Amusement Club, a club where they basically slack off and do whatever the heck they want. Did I mention that they have taken over the room of the now-defunct Tea Club? Chinatsu, who is a classmate of Akari's, comes into the Amusement Club room hoping to join the Tea Club, but she ends up joining the Amusement Club instead. Hilarity and maybe a touch of yuri ensues. In this OVA, it's summer break, and the Amusement Club, along with a few member's of the Student Council (Ayano Sugiura, Chitose Ikeda, Himawari Furutani, and Sakurako Oomuro), are camping! Now, doesn't that sound like fun? Now, I'm not going to lie; this OVA, along with the series itself, is very cute. The story is a very relaxing one, and there are a lot of funny moments. For example, when one of the characters, Chitose, takes off her glasses, she has yuri fantasies about Kyoko and Ayano. Not funny enough? Okay, then what if she has nosebleeds when she does? Laugh-inducing yet? As always, the characters are quite fun to watch, especially Chitose and Akari. (Who? Don't worry; that's an inside joke.) The OP and ED for this OVA are really cute, as well, and as always, the voice actresses fit their roles quite well. Now, let's talk about the animation. The animation studio for seasons one and two of YuruYuri was Dogakobo, but the animation studio has changed to TYO Animations. It's not too hard to notice, either. That's okay, though, because the animation is actually pretty good. YuruYuri Nachuyachumi was overall a good episode of YuruYuri and a good OVA overall. Is it the best? No, not really. However, it does make me remember how much I liked the series when I watched it a few years ago. I'm also looking forward to the upcoming third season!
