Yuru Yuri,

Our girls are back. They do some goofy shit for 30 mins and it's a good time. All the classic running gags make a return. And Akarin~ is the star of the show, as always.

In case you're wondering, "Hey... what the f*** is with this title? They added a f***ing comma at the end?? No way. Yuru Yuri is RUINED."-- then how about you slow your roll, asshole, and take a deep breath. I Googled it, and apparently the comma thing is called a "ten" in Japanese. So it's like, a pun.

A double-TRIPLE pun, because the "Yuru Yuri Ten" TENth anniversary celebration is a frickin' ... >> TEN out of TEN <<

LET'S GOOO, SEASON FOOOUURRR BAYYYBBEEEE

There's a lot of meta jokes about how it's the 10th anniversary. The 4th wall was always flimsy in this show, especially when it came to Akari and her lack of presence, but they seem to ignore it entirely in this entry as the girls all try and come up with a suitable way to spend their 10th anniversary celebration. Then it turns out it was a fake-out and it was actually Akarin's birthday they were celebrating, so I guess Akarin's birthday is canonically also the same day as the anniversary of the series.

All your favorite characters are here, and it really is a pretty ... good celebration of the franchise and what makes it special. It doesn't try to tread any new ground because it's just meant to be a love letter to the series. 7/10 it had a little something for everyone.

Yeh a 6/10 but hear me out.

This was pretty much a collection of yuru Yuri's "greatest hits" so to speak. So although it is new content its really the same stuff we have already seen. Just a lot of gags and such. Its clear the time constraints hurt it here, it goes a lightning speed pace from set up to joke. Which is unfortunate because for me yuru yuri is at its best when the characters just get to talk and chill together and there is a story or character specific arc being told.

As dumb as it sounds imagine a seinfeld episode with no storyline, ... no forgot my keys just the guys standing around repeating one liners from previous seasons. This is essentially what it is. And funnily enough i think it aimed to be that. it was a crowd funded OVA for the more hardcore fans, so in the end it did its job.

Hope we get another season soon!
