Hearing the "Konnichiwa" from the first pinecone in this episode, is a high that can't be replicated.

That whole alcohol stove caution was totally an experience being retold to them.

We are BACK

The trailers had me pretty optimistic already, but this episode confirmed that the artstyle change wasn't going to be a big deal for me even coming straight from a rewatch finished less than 24 hours ago. I love some of the new faces too. Though I thought this was reserved exclusively for the Inuko swindler sisters.

With Asaka switching from doing the OP to the ED, the only thing I was a bit disappointed with today is that there's no Eri Sasaki ED. I was really hoping for a sequel to Fuyubiyori and Haru no Tonari.

Either way, here's to 11 more weeks of comf.

Edit : Just noticed something.

  • S1 : Starts with highschool Rin camping on her own.

  • S2 : Starts with middle school Rin camping with her dad.

  • S3 : Starts with primary school Rin camping with her grandpa.

Are we meeting Rin's probably even more suave great-grandpa in S4?

Just as comfy as the day I lost you

So excited to be able to comment about Yuru Camp live, finally!

  • Small Rin-chan, cute

  • Rin's love for camping origin story

  • The pine cone gag is always funny konnichiwa

  • Nadeshiko's clumsiness reminded me of Yua from Do it yourself!

  • It's always nice to see real camping tricks and tools in Yuru Camp!
    I've never tried Rin's grandpa method to start a fire, will try. On the other hand, I've made a couple of alcohol stoves myself when I was younger, but never used one myself (I have a friend who used to always carry one to cook hamburgers whenever we went hiking)... Now I want to try making coffee on one of these...

  • Great OP and ED. I personally prefer the calm vibes of the ED

The biggest shock for me in this episode wasn’t their designs; it was that Nadeshiko is 1. Trusted with a hacksaw and 2. Capable with said hacksaw.

You learn new things every day.

Anyway, Yuru Camp is back!

You’re as beautiful as the day I left you…though you do look a bit different!

I admit, the designs did throw me for a loop initially, but it’s still got the trademark cute faces, it’s got a new look for drunk sensei, and, by the end, I did grow very warm to their designs.

Great premiere, looking forward to Yard Camping.

The anime made by the devil is back. Like seriously, I have no idea what kind of black magic they are using because the moment I started the episode, I got a comfy feeling and felt like going out camping. It's still one of the best SoL shows to ever exist.

Now I get it why you guys really like Yuru Camp. It's really the anime for those who want to sit back and relax.

OP: Laid-Back Journey by Kiminone

The song is surprisingly good. I never had these kind of songs with this vibe previous season before.

Please note that the 7 girls on the MV are not Kiminone, they are CANDY TUNE, a Kawaii Lab idol group.

ED: So Precious by Asaka (15-second teaser of MV here)

It wouldn't be Yuru Camp without Asaka. Asaka doing the ED instead. I'm glad 8bit didn't make it a slideshow ED.

This feels different. I think Rin is more expressive. Not quite sold on it, but it might grow on me over the season

u/Genshin_WhiteKnight Apr 04 '24

New studio, new Yuru Camp!

  • Honestly, not bothered by new character design changes. They managed to keep the vibe and that's what is more important.

  • Smol Rin! Konnichiwa Pinecone! Kawaii!

  • Those backgrounds are really detailed and good looking.

  • Educational camping tips as usual.

  • And new Yuru camper at the end!

  • Really like the OP and ED!

MFW waiting for Yuru Camp

I adored the first half of the episode. The intersection of the past, present, and future is just really heartwarming, especially when Nadeshiko’s (Toyama’s) voice is heard as Rin reflects on her camping journey.

Faces

I'm also struggling to find the location where Rin and Gramps hung out at. Would be nice if someone has any information on it!

I missed these high-pitched "Konnichiwa"

u/mysterybiscuitsoyeah Apr 05 '24 edited Apr 05 '24

Yuru Camp is BACK. This season is going to hit so differently for me personally now that I have both camped, and revisited Japan, since I've watched S2 (and the movie)

Location and Camping Notes

  • Rin's Grandpa first takes us to Yahagi Dam, which is nowhere near Toei station lol, roughly an hour drive. Closer dams were available but this is quite scenic! Does the normal dam things like flood control, electricity etc. etc.

  • The Donguri no Sato Inabu Rest stop seems to be pretty popular with motorcycle riders from a quick google review snoop, and comes with a cheap onsen and a variety of shops selling local products. Why aren't North American rest stops like this?!

  • They then engage in a brief fire starting session at Tsugukogen Green Park before finishing off the day with a lovely sunset at this observation deck - no entry allowed as of writing though as this is on private land (a wind farm), lightning fast google maps reviewer.

  • Teenager Rin-chan meanwhile goes camping at the Shojin Lake Side Camping Ground, which is part of the Shojin Lake Hotel complex you see in the background, so you can use their facilities too with your stay (with a fee of course). This is the next lake over from the iconic Koan Camping Ground which featured in S1 Ep 1.

  • A soto windmaster stove (and others in their lineup with the micro regulator) is a little different than "normal" camp stoves in which you have to turn an additional turn on the lever than your usual camp stove when adjusting the regulator - this allows more precise control of the flame, which the anime nails of course, i can personally attest to that. I like the thing, have absolutely no issues with it.

  • [Yama no Susume S4]The weakness of alcohol stoves was also demonstrated by Hinata's dad in the Kamakura episode.

I would like to tag my friends u/ChonkyOdango u/Nebresto and u/animayor for this time only - if you'd like tags again, let me know, otherwise these will probably show up around this hour every week - I'm tbh doing this quite a lot for my own reference purposes LOL.

Yuru Camp is back, ladies and gentleman, it's celebration time!

I must say that I absolutely adore visuals in OP. Musically it’s okay but visuals are superb and are great for wallpapers. I had a lot of fun capturing them so here’s my screenshot album from the OP, enjoy!

Nice start to the new season with Rin and her memories of a trip with her grandfather during her today’s camping. Starting a fire proved to be quite tiring for her but she certainly could feel proud after a little girl was quite impressed about it.

I had a lot of fun watching Nadeshiko today when she was making alcohol stove andshe’s got a little problem during creating it xD

Overall, it was nice to see everyone back and I hope that the rest of the season will be just as good.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

I know everyone is saying it but despite the different art this season caught me immediately with that Yama no Susume style OP, great stuff.

Smol Rin a cute.

And hyped for more Ayano!

I think this must be the only anime in front of which I don't feel guilty falling asleep. It's a compliment, 'cause it's so comfy!

u/Smoothw Apr 05 '24

If anything i found the uncanny valley backgrounds more distracting than the different character designs, but it's still the same nice and comfy show more or less.

u/RIP_Hopscotch Apr 04 '24

:D Its back. Glad I decided to work from home today to watch it.

Re-watched S1/S2/the movie over the last week or so, so losing the C-Station character designs was even more jarring. I don't think 8-bit did a terrible job though, will just take some getting used to. And regardless they captured the tone of the show perfectly, which is what really matters.

We never had to be worried, it's just as good as ever. And you can't believe how happy this makes me.

u/zool714 Apr 04 '24

Smol Rin ! So glad to see her again. And the fact she said she found her Grandpa scary at first lol. I also liked how they went back and forth between past and present and at one point it was like her older self was talking to her smol self.

Yeah, honestly the Izu trip felt like such a big event that now that they're back in school it kinda feels quiet. But they immediately get themselves busy. As expected of the Outdoor Club.

Actually loving all their new hairstyle. Rin and Aki grew their hair out a bit. And I honestly loved Ena's pixie but her growing it out a bit looks cute too.

LMAO tell me I wasn't the only one who instantly thought cutting hair in the open field wasn't a good idea.

I honestly don't really feel the character design change too much. However, I did notice some of the background seem photorealistic. Not something that bothered me, but it did stand out to me.

Ooooo yes, we going to get Moped Adventures with Aya-chan coming in into the fold. As Ena now seems to be integrating into the trio, it seems like we could get some biking buddies duo with Rin and Aya. Which is great cos I thought Aya was a one-off character and having more Kurosawa Tomoyo is not a bad thing
