A LOT OF CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO NOT WRITE SPOILERS BUT THERE STILL MAY BE SPOILERS, BE CAREFUL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not gonna lie, I started Urasekai Picnic for the cute yuri couple that I've been missing since Adachi to Shimamura ended. But wow, this is so good and so unexpectedly good at the same time, but so unexpectedly unique, while still keeping that yuri feel afterwards. But you have to ask yourself What is Urasekai Picnic? Why is it a 6.5 on MAL? Why have I rated it highly and much higher than other ratings on this site? I feel Urasekai Picnic is Wonder Egg but more

realistic with yuri and not as good art. If you asked me what would happen if a normal yuri couple of the shy girl and the beautiful/cute girl were suddenly thrown into an anime where they had the option to go into another world where they had to defeat unknown monsters and retrieve their friend? This! This is the closest thing you can find to that answer. It's the perfect thriller yuri, in my opinion (not that there are many out there).
Story: 7
So yall might grill me for this, but I feel the story is VERY unique, it's not an isekai but u don't exactly have monsters in your own world. The fact they can alternate within the worlds is also very unique. I wouldn't say it's the most well written, but it's certainly not bad enough to deserve a 6.5 on this site. Also, the story is not everything, there are other aspects that make this anime amazing. Some of the story that has been animated was a little rushed, not gonna lie, but thats the reason it's a 7. The Urasekai part of it is amazing, and the overall premise is very unique.
Art: 8
The HAND DRAWN art is AMAZING. The girls are amazingly drawn, the monsters which are drawn are amazing, the scenery is AMAZING. A lot is amazing, this art would be a MASTERPIECE, apart from the CGI. The CGI used is the only downfall of this anime. Even if the camera pan isn't far away, u can tell the bad CGI used. The monsters which used CGI are also not the best either. I would have given this a 9 but I have to be honest.
Sound: 9
One of the very best things about this anime is the sounds and the flipping OST. The soundtrack is AMAZING. This would be a 10/10, but tbh I don't give 10/10s to a lot of things. The soundtrack is literally one of the best I've heard in anime, the amazing job it does at setting the "thriller" mood and the dramatic, scary mood is AMAZING. The OSTs make the scenes about 10x better because they generate so much emotion, it's amazing, simply put, the closest thing to a masterpiece you can get.
Character: 8
The characters, in my opinion, are VERY well written. People don't seem to think so because it's not the generic characters you would get. The characters may seem generic, where we have the shy one and the beautiful one, the norm in the yuri world. But what happens when you throw normal yuri girls into a world with unknown monsters and a world they choose to go into? That's an amazing though, and for that reason, I feel the characters are VERY well written. Not is it unique, but I feel the characters react realistically as if a yuri had some monsters in a different entrance. I feel like not enough props goes for the realism of this anime in general because its not the normal friend group/couple.
Enjoyment: 9
Oh my god, this is one of my most enjoyed weeklies this season, with the OST, the unknown monsters, the characters, everything is just so unique in that situation itself. It's so enjoyable, it's literally a guessing game as to what's gonna happen next. Not gonna lie, a lot of doesn't make sense, but neither do a lot of shounens. The enemy system isn't really explained or known, anything can happen in the Otherside, and that's what makes it so enjoyable, you can't even know what's gonna happen next. This anime is so refreshing with a season of an isekai, a shounen, and AOT (not that any are bad, just this is refreshing). Whenever the dramatic OST hits, the monster comes in, it gives off this unique dramatic feel you can't get in any other anime because of the mix of yuri. How's it gonna pan? What's there? What will the yuri couple do? What's going on? With the OST hits, its AMAZING. On top of that, the yuri couple is just cute as hell, and they deserve the world when they're together, I love it, even it is more of a thriller
Overall: 8/10
I can't understand the hate at all, people ask for unique anime, and when they get them, they don't like it? I don't want to hate on people's takes, but this is one I just can't understand, I love it and it has to be one of the most enjoyable anime this season. Was it expectations? Did people expect a realistic thriller with no yuri? I don't know man, but I have the same brain watching this as watching a shounen for example, just enjoy it, it's a hella ride, and if you like yuri, you'll love this.
