Yuru Yuri is pretty pointless and episodic. There's no chance to make a compelling arc. A club the purpose of which is to facilitate the doing of nothing.
The Characters of this show are simply sketched, and are distinctively cliche. Akari is the nice girl type with a "not so main character-ish" presence, Yui is the smart, cool one, Chinatsu is similar to Akari but poses a dangerous threat of sadism, and Kyouko is the energetic and irresponsible one and so on. Much fun is similarly had with the three tsunderes in the student council, and the glass girl Chitose, who often takes off her glasses to nosebleed-fantasize about her classmates. There's so little variation on the usual character themes that whenever there's any crossover it gets hard to tell characters apart. It takes a particular kind of viewer to enjoy something like Chitose's fantasies, during which things are pretty normal until she takes those damned glasses off, but if you're that kind of viewer, you're unlikely to find a funnier series with better characters than this.Characters are quickly and simply sketched, and are distinctively cliche.

Yuruyuri Character designs, objectively speaking, are standard to the point of plainness - the way they are used being far more interesting than their appearance. Backgrounds, particularly the Yui's apartment and the Amusement Club room, are well-detailed and fully sufficient to their purpose, but they're given to little scene time to be called impressive. There's fanservice to be sure and plenty of naughty, but not dirty,particularly involves Himawari's boobie gags and Chitose's delusional fantasies
Overall Yuruyuri is a cliche and pretty dumb show, but delivers good enough to make everyone laugh.
