| wow I’m actually really hyped about this since I didn’t expect it to get another season after the third one, this show is massive underrated though so hopefully this announcement entices others to watch this series |
 |
| That came out of nowhere, looks like the trend this year is surprise sequels of 2010's anime especially third and fourth seasons. |
 |
| That came out of nowhere! I've been waiting for some news on this show, a whole new season is something to really look forward to! |
| Is this my week? It's been one new anime I want after another! The second and third season were so good so I'm not saying no to a new season at all. |
| What a great news!!!!!! More Yama no susume = more comfy mountain climbing. I really hope they will do a full-length episode because 13 mins are not enough for this series. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Well, I'm excited for this. But I have always been confused at the fact that AIC's facebook account has season 1 uploaded to their account. |
| Unexpected at the same time excited to this good news, it's been 3 years and am already missing Yama no Susume hope they keep that 12 minute format. Now I'll pray to iyashikei gods that Non Non Biyori will get 4th season too. |
 |
| Noice, more comfy stuff. |
 |
| Lol there was enough interest to get another season? Hope this actually becomes a trend, esp for shorter length shows |

| Oh, this is good news, I will get to the first one for sure. |
| More comfy CGDCT. Nice. I wonder if it will be shirt form as well. I hope not |

 |
| Very nice, recently completed latest season and had it on hold for a while, these news were spot on. |
 |
| This is nice to see. We have yet to reach the mountains peak! |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| Yes! More time on mountain climbing girls! I assume this is the 4th season. Odd name change though, but I wonder what mountain's summit the title refers to. |

RobertBobert said: Well season 2 was the same length as a regular 1 cour show but I don't know if having shorter episodes but double the amount is any cheaper or notPiromysl said: More comfy CGDCT.

This is mainly used as an exhibition of various animators and their style, so the full length would be very expensive. It's still 10+ minutes, only with more episodes. This was probably due to the hype around the first manga adaptation. |
|
| More of this lovely show. I hope this franchise follows its steady growth in quality. Last season was already one of the greats in the genre. |
| Nice! I'm very hyped for this, one of my first anime ever |
