Most appraisals of YuruYuri commend its uniqueness that defied the cliches associated with the Moe-Slice of Life genre, as well as its vast potential as a series. As of today, the legacy of YuruYuri is safely carried on by the newest iteration in the series, YuruYuri Nachuyachumi.
The story of Nachuyachumi can never be described in a few general terms because it is separated into two distinct parts: The OVA originals and the manga adaptations. I will review them separately.
Firstly, the OVA originals mostly consist of the camping trip story arc. Unfortunately, to many viewers a camping trip might seem vapid and mundane. However, bear in
...
mind that a camping trip is also the type of endeavor which is challenging and rewarding enough for middle school girls to earnestly take part in.
Secondly, the Manga adaptations offered subtle delights to those who read the manga. It must be mentioned that the Engrish scene is adapted from one of the funniest manga chapters. Although most adaptations are inspired by interesting chapters, the highlight is how seamlessly the adapted stories mesh with the Camping arc.
The art of Nachuyachumi made a significant improvement over the previous anime. To be fair, I would say the two aspects of improvement are fluidity of animated movements and complexity of the art.
Last but not least, Nachuyachumi sustained YuruYuri's trend of having good OP/EDs. The OP retained the distinct jingle that defined YuriYurararaYuruYuri Dijiken and Koi no Bakkin Buckingham. The ED made a break with tradition as it emphasizes on cherishing time at school. It is well made; the melody fits the theme even without help from the translated lyrics.
All in all, with Nachuyachumi and another anime project in place, I believe that YuruYuri is on the way to become a fully fledged franchise.
