Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi!+

If you're here you probably already know what to expect from this series. More CGDCT action. It's basically a follow up to the camping episode, where they look at a bunch of picture they took while on the trip and are like, "hey guys remember the camping episode."

The second episode has them all playing Nintendo games... but with legally distinct titles. I'm not a woman, so I don't play Animal Crossing and I can't speak as the accuracy of it's portrayal, but I have some gripes about that Smash Bros parody. The are no 0 to death 1-hit-KO moves in Smash. I know they were ... probably just simplifying it for the sake of brevity and the joke, but have some integrity about the thing you're parodying, geez. Show her pulling off a sick 0 to death combo instead. That's something that's universal to all fighting games, you don't beat an opponent just by hitting them with a big move that kills them in one shot. Okay, I'll stop now.

There wasn't anything that stood out too much from these specials. It does sort of feel like just more of the same, but not in a way that's boring. It's still good so 7/10

Even with a 1 hour OVA, the creators knew that it simply wasn't enough for us Yuru Yuri fans so they gave us 48 mins. more!


[Story]: (7/10)
Extra episodes of Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi!

The extra episodes takes place after the summer camp in Nachuyachumi. All they did was pretty much typical stuff that you'd expect in summer time like water balloon fights, playing video games, and etc.

Compared to the 1 hour OVA, the extra episodes actually made me laugh more than the OVA but the comedy is still lacking compared to the Second Season. The atmosphere is roughly the same as the OVA.

... [Art/Animation]: (9/10)
If you have seen the OVA (I'm sure that you did) then the animation is nothing different. The animation still looks amazing.

[Sound]: (8/10)
Ohh, the OSTs that plays when they look back at their summer camp memories. It's just beautiful. The rest of the soundtrack are the same so they're not worth mentioning. Now the OP and ED theme song(s)

The OP theme song is "Yurishurashushushu" by Nanamori Chu?Goraku Bu and the ED theme song is Ohirune Universe" by Nanamori Chu?Goraku Bu. I'm beginning to suspect that TYO Animations is slightly better at producing Yuru Yuri openings than the previous studio because this is better than the 1st season's OP. Better than the 2nd Season's OP...Ehh, no. The ED theme song is decent.

[Characters]: (8/10)
I'm just going to go down through my checklist here first. Main characters returns from the previous seasons, yep..some of the side characters returns from the previous seasons, yep.

The character interactions are great and the show focused on a 2 groups of characters doing things instead of focusing on only 1 of them fooling around.

[Enjoyment]: (9/10)
This was a nice additional 48 minutes episodes. There also seems to be more funny moments here than the OVA. To conclude, I definitely enjoyed the extra episodes.

[VERDICT]
"Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi+" is a great addition to the series. Even with the extra episodes, there never seems to be enough Yuru Yuri. I demand more NOW!..Just kidding, they can take their time. Aaaand this concludes my Yuru Yuri 4 days review marathon.

[OVERALL]: (8/10)


Pros:
+More Funny moments than the OVA
+Great additional 48 minutes of Yuru Yuri OVA.
+Great Soundtrack

Cons:
-

Aren't we a spoiled bunch. Tokyo T.V. once again gives us two more OVAs. That's 40 more minutes of Yuru Yuri and the cute cast. Were the cookies put into the oven for too long this time? Let's find out.

JAPANESE LEARNERS (2/5 Easy to Understand)

Do I ... even need to explain this anymore since I've reviewed Yuru Yuri three separate times already. Honestly, if you are at the intermediate or advanced level, then you should have no problem watching this anime without subtitles. Once again, you newbies can use this OVA as an excellent resource for your studies as the phrases and vocabulary are easy to learn.

STORY

It's summer time again which means we must be going to the beach, right? No. Okay, maybe we will go camping again. No. You said water balloons. Oh my, there is nothing better than cute Yuru Yuri chicks wearing bikini's throwing water balloons at each other. Wrong! They are still wearing their clothes. Okay, that was my ecchi side. Let me get straight to the point. Over 13 minutes of the first OVA episode took place in the club room where they looked at pictures from the camping trip and there were no parodies present at all. It was dreadful, and had I not been an anime reviewer I would have turned off my computer right away, but I must bring you anime otakus high-quality reviews.

The second OVA had a much better story. The girls haves a sleepover together in two separate groups. The group with Kyouko wanted to get a picture of her negao (sleeping face). The nice thing about the second OVA was the Super Smash Bros. and Animal Crossing parodies, which were a welcome treat. Unlike the first OVA, this OVA was much funnier and entertaining.

ANIMATION

If there was one thing that went well with the OVAs, it was the animation. Once again, I loved how the characters were presented and how the environments looked, even if that time was short. Don't let me forget that you can see Kyouko's......
SOUND

Let me just say that Yuru Yuri doesn't exactly have the greatest OST in the anime universe. Even while writing this review just after 5 minutes of watching the OVAs, I can't even remember any music. The opening and ending songs are also not that great either.

CHARACTERS

There really isn't much to say about the characters since they all maintain their previous personalities from the original anime. No new characters are added. Kyouko and Akari still are my favorite characters.

FINAL VERDICT/ENJOYMENT

We all like cookies when they first come out of the oven. They are sweet and chewy. That is how the first and second season of Yuru Yuri are presented. Unfortunately, the first OVA was left in the oven for too darn long and it left a burnt taste in my mouth. The second OVA was much better. Here is the gist of it, skip the first OVA and watch the second OVA unless you have some kind of OCD where you have to watch every anime episode (like me).
