Yuru Camp△ Season 3

Yes the production value has gone down, yes the artstyle changed, yes the new studio uses CGI and real life pictures for the backgrounds every chance they get.

However, none of that hinders the show. it's still the Yuru Camp experience through and through, that much hasn't changed. The Yuru Camp formula is basically unfuckable. The only thing that could really mess with it is its pacing and I can safely say that is still intact.

One cool thing that I noticed is that in the previous seasons there characters were constantly struggling to buy equipment and camping on the cheap, but now with jobs and disposable ... income that is no longer the focus, which shifted to cooking and sightseeing. It was a pretty subtle but realistic change in tone.

There's not much else to say, I enjoyed this season as much as the others. One episode at a time, with something to eat; like this show should be consumed. With the new characters on deck I can only hope for more seasons, which I'll eagerly continue to watch.

Despite concerns about there being a new studio and it affecting the quality of the animation, fear not. This season after a 3 year wait is the same old Yuru Camp we all know and love and its as good as ever. From the studio of shows like Tensei Slime and Yama No Susume we are blessed with another season of comfy and cooking recipes. The quality of the animation may different but that doesn't mean its a big downgrade or anything.

While I found season 2s episodes were hit or miss especially the ones without Nadeshiko or Rin, I found this season to have ... good episodes from start to finish. There's a few episodes with Nadeshiko that are very strange but overall this doesn't take away from the enjoyment. I also found the overall tone of this season to be sillier than the other seasons and they showed even more cooking recipes as well.

Thus this review ends along with the seasons cycle of watch episode, feel joy, feel sadness then feel joy again when a new episode comes on a week later. Here's to hoping the studio gives another adaptation a few more years or so down the line and we get more comfy episodes to enjoy.

Yuru Camp is easily one of the best CGDCT series which not only revolves around cute girls but also features the pros and cons of real life camping.The first season aired back in 2019 and the second soon afterwards in 2021.By the the mal scores it is obvious that people loved it enough to give it a 10/10.

But my take on the third season is different compared to the previous ones.I have rewatched both seasons more than 3 times as it always helps me calm down and feel slightly happy even if I was upset earlier.Yuru Camp had a special charm to it which makes ... the viewers feel good.Whereas that charm is absent in season 3.

Now there was a studio and staff change for this season so a difference in quality is to be expected to some extent.There are examples like AoT,One Punch Man,Initial D etc. where the production took place in different studios by different staff members after 1 or 2 seasons.But since these are mainstream series where action is the main concern for the viewers, the difference didn't really matter much.There are also examples of some CGDCT animes like Minami-ke,Yuru Yuri,GochiUsa etc. where the same stuff happened but the overall experience still remained the same and the sequals were rated almost the same or even better than the prequals.

So what makes the case of Yuru Camp special here is that the previous seasons were handled amazingly by C-Station.The character designs,bgm,comedy,memorable moments everything was on the spot.In season 3,the character designs were changed to resemble the designs in the manga more.This was the poor decision on the production team's part.The previous team might've known that the manga designed wouldn't work if used in animation.Hence they changed it for the better and it worked wonders.Even if you watch this season first and then proceed to watch a single episode from either of the previous seasons, you'll find yourself liking the previous ones more.The character design isn't the only flaw here.The music has been used somewhat rashly in this season where it doesn't make a scene feel as it should be.Finally the backgrounds.Honestly I'm not the type to care about these things but they really made the backgrounds worse in this season.

The other elements are just fine and this season is also watchable as any other CGDCT anime.The opening and ending theme are great in this season too.But the soul of Yuru Camp has been taken out and you can feel it if you love Yuru Camp.
