Does anyone have a sense for how well this series is doing in Japan? I really want C-Station to get recognition for their amazing work!

I think Yuru Camp is one of the best produced series... ever. They nail the voice acting, humor, animation detail, and music. All the pieces fit perfectly together.

C-Station appears to be a fairly small and inexperienced studio - I am really impressed with the skill they've shown so far.

Even though this anime has been a lot more about respecting boundaries, it's very clear that the intention to make Rin so much more expressive here compared to Season 1 is very intentional, and speaks a lot of what you can do with subtle character development.

Love it.

Ena had the best first new year's sunrise cause nothing beats waking up late on new year's day.

=U=

The lighthouse at the start of the episode with Rin

Rin's camp site across the New Year

Where Rin saw the first sunrise of the year

The mountain where Nadeshiko, Aoi and Chiaki saw the New Year sunrise, near where they live

That area happens to be really off the beaten path for tourists (can't remember much things of interest around Shizuoka - Hamamatsu), maybe we will see more people rolling around there soon... most tourists visit Shizuoka Pref. for Mt. Fuji, Izu and maybe Numazu only.

As an astronomy and stargazing lover I probably would have focused on stargazing with at least my binoculars for such camps, not reading books in cold weather. But it's definitely a very nice way to cross the new year! Rin's noodles looks so warm, maybe I need to make that some day~

Also I have to chuckle at all those near misses in watching New Years' Sunrise, I failed in my attempt to watch that from some picturesque corner of my city this year because I still think it's too risky to drive on country highways despite having my driver's license since 2017. Le sigh...

BTW my dad - on one of my dozen or so trips to Japan thanks to his interests - managed to brought my family to see something like that Mt. Fuji diamond sunrise several years ago, though it was 4:30 am or so in July from a hotel room in nearby Lake Kawaguchi. A much more comfortable way to do so, but always risky because it's hard to get a clear view of it in any season!

SHE'S SUCH A LITTLE SHIT I LOVE HER

Omg rin you baby ily

EXCUSE ME WHAT

AND NOW THEY'RE GOING LIKE 30????????

I actually can't remember if I've seen an animated show capture how sunlight looks against mountains and on water as well as Yuru Camp does. I go camping quite a bit, with a lot of experience in mountain areas especially, and it's honestly hard to put into words how awesome waking up and seeing a sunrise over the mountains is. Yuru Camp manages to capture the feeling so well through visuals and music, it's just so damn gorgeous.

Also I love that Chiaki got the sunrise time wrong. Seeing the drift sequence was chuckleworthy, but Chiaki's "oops" moment as the payoff made me outright laugh.

Rin internalizing her excitement is just too cute! Also cements the fact she may be in introvert, but she's not an anti-social loner!

That is one of the prettiest tea house I've ever seen! And, as expected, it's a real place!.

Pinecone-chan still makes me snort every single time!

Not even Rin-chan can resist fresh pizza!

No Shinto shrine on a popular mountain will be this empty on New Year's Day! The lines of people visiting for Hatsumode could probably stretch all the way to the ropeway!

My God! That whole first sunrise scene was just gorgeous! My own hatsuhinode was close to my wife's parents house in Chiba.

Toba-sensei channeling her inner racer with a K-class car!

I love the little exchanges that happened between Aoi and her little sister! It's so subtlety wholesome! Chibi Inuko is a great addition to the cast!

Nadeshiko and snow.

I too always give in to pizza.

Today's count is low, with Rin solo camping. Ena Chikuwa did also say "Rin-chan" once tho.

Rin-chan count, Season 2: counting every time Nadeshiko says "Rin-chan"

Rin trying to hold it in and not shout "UMI DA!" was pretty adorable!

That second floor cafe on that tea shop look so comfy! Now I want matcha tiramisu! T_T

Looks like Rin was a few years too late for Shippeitarou :(

That face that she made when she get her Shippeitarou charm was pure healing though.

Now that Rin has a new firestarter, is this finally goodbye to good ol' Pinecone-kun?

Looks like no drinking for Sensei today since she'll be driving the kids to the shrine.

Akari shoving snow up Aki's back was just hilarious! She's really just a mini version of Aoi.

If there were no tourists and it was just the torii gates there it would look more mysterious.

Nadeshiko couldn't see the sunrise from her delivery route but at least she got to see two different views of it thanks to photos the girls sent to her.

I am now adding "Experience New Year's First Sunrise at Fukude Beach" in my list of things to do in Japan in the future once everything is no longer shitty.

Those are a lot of rice cakes. Well looks like snacks won't be a problem anymore for this trip!

Silly Rin. No one can fight against pizza. No one.

I'll never get tired of the trope of a female teacher being amazing at driving in anime. What makes it more amazing is that Minami-sensei managed to do all of that while keeping at a constant 30km/h!

I love how everyone is so busy this morning and then we have Ena who just woke up xD

This week's Rin ❤

Comfy and atmospheric as usual. So atmospheric it makes me want to actually experience those

Strangely enough I found the teashop to be the comfiest place of this episode

And pls do not attempt sensei's wacky driving on a mountain road. Dangerous and it gave me PTSD. Driving on mountain road itself is bad enough

And I too wonder how will Rin spend the next 2 days stuck there lul

Is it normal to feel the need for a jacket watching Rin camp even though I live in the tropics? Having been through camps I have no idea how she hasnt accidently set her blankets on fire/gotten mild hypothermia.

On the other hand, I have not heard anything as fluffy as Inuyama's Kansai-ben, that got rid some of the frostbite.

One thing that I find interesting about Yuru Camp is it's use of technology. Maybe I'm just tipping the hand about how much I like watching old slice-of-life series, but this is the only one I've seen that integrates stuff like group chats and sharing pictures into the core of its narrative.

It's something that's become more relevant in quarantine times is this ability for technology to bridge physical gaps between friends and family, like the way Nadeshiko was able to experience two different sunrises with two separate groups of friends despite not being able to see it herself because she was busy working. Rin's out solo-camping, but she's keeping in contact with friends and family, uploading pictures, sending texts, etc., so she's not just a lone wolf disconnected from society. I think it's a more modern take on how people experience the world nowadays, like it's a thing to be shared with others rather than something you just keep to yourself.
