When the Winter Season started I did not have high hopes for it nor did I expect it to be bad or anything - I was only looking for your usual Cute Girls Doing Cute Things and lots of camping, but what I got instead was a sweet and lovely anime about friendship between girls with different personalities that do not have to do everything together, but can still have a strong bond.
Story - 8
What started as a simple camping anime developed into an anime about creating a friendship over marshmallows and grilled meat. Rin has always enjoyed solo-camping trip, but during one of her adventures she meets Nadeshiko and that's how Nadeshiko falls in love with camping. While Rin goes on camping trips with Nadeshiko and mostly on her own, Nadeshiko joins the Outdoor Club and discovers the joy of group camping. The entire anime is about the girls' friendship, although it doesn't follow the usual formula of girl doesn't like camping with others but then she changed her mind. Rin can go camping with other people and on her own, and Nadeshiko is not trying to change that.
Art - 8
The art style and character design are really cute, but I can't say there's anything special about it. However the nature shots are amazing.
Sound - 8
It fits the story really well. It is soothing and relaxing.
Character - 10
Probably my favourite part, although Nadeshiko and Rin are the most developed from the bunch. What I liked the most was the emphasis on introvert-extrovert personalities and how they can go well together.
Enjoyment - 10
I obviously loved it! But I discovered that if I watch too many episodes in a row then I get bored. But once a week or maybe twice, it's simply perfect to make my week better.
Overall - 9
It is a great anime if you are looking for an anime that doesn't have a lot of action, but it's all about nature, food and the little pleasures of life.
