Heya Camp△

“Nadeshiko, I expect you’ve completed the Yamanashi Kids’ Stamp Rally.” - Chiaki Oogaki

🥈 8/10
Yuru Camp△ has made an amazing performance in 2018, here is a new light-weight show added to the Yuru Camp△ series, Heya Camp△. Do not let the title mislead you, it is not anything related to camping in the room, but rather a side story of Yuru Camp△.

🎬 Story - 7/10
The story itself is actually interesting, instead of a theme of camping, Heya Camp△ offers a theme of sightseeing. The whole story is about visiting sightseeing places around Yamanashi to gather stamps, simply a nice travel show with cute girls as show ... hosts, but sadly, it is way too short, only 3 minutes per episode. Lastly, just like Yuru Camp△, this show includes comedic moments that will surely make you smile.

🎨 Animation - 8/10
Above-standard art quality, eye-friendly, nice scenery art, and delicious-looking food like its parent show, Yuru Camp△, as always.

🔈 Sound - 8/10
Just relaxing soundtracks similar to its parent show, Yuru Camp△, however, they are not standing out and that noticeable. Heya Camp△ also includes a short 30-second ending song, which I find it pretty okay.

🕶 Characters - 7/10
Rather than featuring 5 main characters like in Yuru Camp△, Heya Camp△ focuses on 3 girls, Nadeshiko, Chiaki, and Aoi instead. This is a good idea of giving audiences more details and screen time of Chiaki and Aoi since Nadeshiko and Rin are the main stars of the main show, Yuru Camp△.

🎉 Enjoyment - 8/10
As relaxing as always. While waiting for the second season of Yuru Camp△, it is nice getting a light-weight show. If watching Yuru Camp△ is like having a main dish, Heya Camp△ would be a dessert. Since I love traveling in Japan, I liked the idea of the show, but sadly it is way too short but enjoyable and relaxing enough.

📌 Recommendations
Heya Camp△ is basically a mini Yuru Camp△, rather than a 23-minute episode length, Heya Camp△ offers a 3-minute one. Heya Camp△ might not be that great, but it is enjoyable and relaxing, recommended to anyone who loves the main show, Yuru Camp△. Enjoy!

Had a tough Monday? Tired from work even the week has only just started yet?
Then Heya Camp △ is just the perfect anime for you. Grab a beer (or another drink) and just relax for a few minutes. Make yourself COMFY!
Most of you have probably already seen Yuru Camp △ and loved that anime. If not, you definitely have to watch it. Because this little short anime is as COMFY the main part.

STORY:
The story is a little less due to the short length in compare to Yuru Camp of course. Our girls (Nadeshiko, Aoi and Chiaki) discover the beautiful nature around the Yamanashi prefecture with ... the help of a stamp rally. What could be better than being out in the wild and discovering new delicacies and other interesting things?

CHARACTER:
The girls are just as cute as in the main anime. We see their beautiful friendship and their love for our nature again. Your well-known personalities also come to light here, of course everyone is in a good mood as always and having fun together.

ART:
The art style is just like Yuru Camp △. The backgrounds and mountains are all very nicely animated. Everything is wonderful.

SOUND:
The ED song "The Sunshower" fits perfectly for Heya Camp △, relaxing to listen. Anyone who has already liked "SHINY DAYS" (OP) and "Fuyu Biyori" (ED) from the main anime will certainly love this one too.

ENJOYMENT:
It's good to see our camping girls again. The feeling of the COMFY comes right back, no matter how hard the day was.
Just forget the stressful everyday life and make it cozy and COMFY! Everyone needs to relax.

(Can't wait for the second season in Jan 2021 already!)

Heya Camp is a nice little series. For the most part, it maintains the same fun, light, and, of course, cute tone as Yuru Camp. And for this reason I enjoyed this little mini-series. However, there was one thing missing that made it less enjoyable than Yuru Camp: Rin.

The relationship between Rin and Nadeshiko was the best part of the Yuru Camp season 1. Because Rin is not a member of the outdoor club, she only has a supporting role in this series.

If you, like me, enjoyed the Rin/Nadeshiko dynamic most in Yuru Camp S1, you may be a bit disappointed with this series. ... However, if you really like Aki and/or Aoi, then this probably won't be much of a problem for you and I expect you'll enjoy this just as much as the Yuru Camp S1.
