Well this OVA was hilarious and now I'm only looking even more forward to the next season.
The first half was really funny and I enjoyed the janken part the most and the scene after that with akari's surprise birthday party was so sweet <3

I wish Akari's sister would share her akari collection with me.

Wasn't it supposed to be released in November?

Lmao more than Akarin herself, her outfit was shining.
Himawari looked at Sakurako as if she was asking for permission from her girlfriend.
Chinatsu's cookies are fearsome.
Akari's wig. I'll pretend I didn't see that. for her sake too.
Maid Himawari was cute.
Sakurako loves Himawari so much lol. And its mutual too. Best ship of this series as always.
Ikeda's tsukkomi was cute.
+1 hyper Akari is so cute. +2 even cuter. +3 and she became dark I loved that too. +4 is crazily lovable. +5 and wow. Someone save her. It's alright Akari you are best yuru yuri girl.
Oh I am glad she got the spotlight she deserves. Great OVA.

Himawari's voice is the same? I heard that the person who lent him the voice is now happily married.

Gosh, my sides... I lost it when Akari acted like a broken retard in that rock-paper-scissor punishment game. Her VA should get some award for her performance with that. Even Kyoko and Sakurako couldn't handle her lol

And why dafuq is this "Status: not yet aired"? Go home MAL, you're drunk.

Himawari's voice actor is Suzuko Mimori.
She got married a few months ago.
She is still active with roles for Revue Starlight (Hikari) and Love Live (Umi) with live events for both confirmed on Nov 3rd, Mid Jan and early July.
She is also currently acting in a stage performance of West Side Story.

A K-On reference !!! In 2019 !! Wild.

I love these girls so much. I'm glad we still get content. I laughed a lot while watching it.
Also it had some good bits of animation, especially during the rock paper scissors part, which was also very cool.

I loved this OVA. It was a great celebration for its 10th anniversary. Happy birthday, Yuru Yuri !

I remember making a blog post on this OVA when it was announced and it had previews. I was mostly talking about the art style that the new studio would use. In summary, TYO did a good job with the previous season and OVA movie, but Doga Kobo's simplier character designs somewhat just fits this anime better?

Seeing the first few seconds of this OVA and I can already liking the current studio's (Lay-duce) job. Which is actually something that I've expected since I've seen an episode or two of Release the Spyce, another anime produced by that studio with Namori as the character designer. I've thought to myself: "Hey, I think the character designs here would be pretty perfect for Yuru Yuri. Just a little less dark (the anime had a 'darker' design than YRYR)." Anyways, back to YRYR. I think Lay-duce's designs are a perfect balance between Doga Kobo's and TYO's character designs? I mean, I can definitely see that it's adding upon Doga Kobo's.

Yui and Chinatsu playing cavemen is a little surprising, lol. Kyouko must be so powerful!

"Sounds a bit too normal." Ah, that's the Kyouko I know and love.

Honestly, I'll probably never get tired of the boob jokes this show has.

Oh, and they apparently have smartphones now, not that I've noticed if they had those in the previous seasons.

Damn, they've actually broke the 4th wall here twice. I mean, they did so in the previous seasons as well, but they explicitly say that it's the 10th anniversary. Just saying.

Even Kyouko and Sakurako are both afraid! In all seriousness, yeah, I'd expect them to be the least afraid of Akari while playing that Rock, Paper & Scissors game. That makes me wonder, what if it were Kyouko and Sakurako losing instead? I can just imagine. Also, it's nice to see they've actually reused an insert song from a previous season finale (I think), which is called "Minna Daisuki no Uta". Also, it's nice to see that the previous seasons are being referenced as well (i.e. Sakurako showing a flashback to Akari). But that makes we wonder if the studio animated those scenes again or if they just reused and edited the clips. I think it's more likely that they've animated those, again? Since that would have been a copyright problem?

This means that this episode canonically happened on the 23rd to 24th of July or so, since that's Akari's birthday. Also, damn. Such a nice OVA. Hope we see more of Yuru Yuri in the future! Definitely my favourite anime in the kirara-kei (CGDCT) genre, if not, of all time!

Yeah, I knew it! I knew it was Akane that volunteered when Kyouko said that. Also, this confirms that she and Akane talks to each other. Since I believe someone in the YRYR wiki speculated that they talk to each other.

It definitely brought some nostalgia, been a long time since I started watching the series, and at least 2 years since I finished S3, enjoyed this more than I thought, despite some really silly animations (was done on a budget probably, more so than previous seasons).

It feels odd to hear them acknowledging it has been years.
Also on the topic, this series 10th anniversary was last year, not this one!

Would love an S4...

8.1/10 = 8

S3 was the best season yet, I dunno if I would recommend the series to someone that seems to not like yuri, cuz S3 was heavy on it, and I can't really see a fan of that, saying it was boring.

Some topsy turvy prehistoric yuru yuri at the start lol.

Prehistoric yuru yuri version of toothbrush scene lmao.

Everything chinatsu touches turns into mosiac. She's surely not the one to be underestimated.

Kyoko with her usual quirkiness with wig and stuff. Love how she triggered chinatsu.

Akariin's wig was the funniest. Also love the group photo they took together

Everybody gangtsa till akariin gets angry and starts asking questions.

The birthday celebration was really heartwarming. It's nice to see akariin being the star for once.

Also nice to see best siscon in the world having some screen time.

Akariin stole the spotlight. Just give her enough screen time and then only greatness awaits.

It has been quite some time watching Yuru Yuri. Akarin!!! Like the episode, the profession game and hyper Akari =) I feel like it might be a bit slow as today's show, but won't mind 4th season.
The barrel roll scene is still one of my most memorable scenes from all the anime i watched =/

Pleasant to watch both for fans and for those who are not, just a pity that it lasts too little, time has literally flown and it seemed as if it lasted as long as a canonical episode of about twenty-four minutes. Although Akari's character is not exactly the protagonist, it is good to see that in the end she is not merely a spare tire in the narrative. I'm just sorry that there are not the other characters from the anime series, oh well! At least Akari's sister has been seen. I hope to see some other season of this show, I love it too much, after so many years that I follow it. The quality of the drawings and the animations are quite good, the ending is very catchy.

Real rating is 7/10, the fan rating is 8/10. The heart is not controlled. <3

Do not watch this directly after finishing season 3. That's my recommendation.

As we all know, the direction shifts pretty noticeably from season 2 to Nachuyachumi and season 3 with the change in studio, causing the show to feel noticeably way more personal and heartwarming than the first two seasons.

Not to say that the first two seasons are bad or anything; I enjoyed them! It's just that the change in studio and direction for Nachuyachumi and beyond created an even deeper connection to the characters for me. Going from that style of direction to this, which takes after the first two seasons moreso, is a huge immersion-breaker.

If you're looking for something more serious-toned like season 3, don't watch this immediately after season 3, because you won't get what you're looking for.

Caveman Akari has made my day. Yuru Yuri is my salvation, it makes my day everytime I watch it. This is one of the only CGDCT shows I actually enjoy (the others are Machikado Mazoku and New Game). Yuru Yuri delivers so much more in terms of comedy.
Anyway, I hope season 4 comes out soon ( =3= )

This was an amusing little OVA, though I think peak Yuru Yuri is still San Hai. I do hope they end up creataing another season though, it has been awhile since we've had a proper amount of Yuru Yuri.

Everyone is good at something, sweet.. ;P Like Yui at getting fire.. Kyouko at fishing.. Akari at collecting berries and making flowers.. Akari's are quite feminine things she's good at, by the way, it seems.. ;P Not sure, what Chinatsu is good at.. Maybe she'd be good at killing someone, lol.. Like mammoth, or something, I don't know..
These hairstyles are probably references to other anime series, I'd guess.. But I can't recognize any..
Oh, impression cards seems like a fun idea.. ;P
Lol, what, statue?.. ;D Nice surprise.. ;P
Chitose's fantasies are the best.. ;P I imagine, she is probably good girl in relationship as well, fufu.. ;P
No, Akari, don't die.. ;/
This anime is both great at slice of life comedy and drama.. Enjoyable OVA.. ;P
