You know what else is comforting? Under The Scope videos.
Yeah, he should really make a video examining how helpful they are.
I agree
Same!
Could not have said it any better!
Iyashikei shows just hits different
Yes.
Did I just discovered a new genre
Beautiful insight on this. Always appreciate your breakdown on anime like this. ❤️
SOL anime always have this image of “boring” and “uneventful” and I’m glad there are some people like you are out there to share that it’s not.
I love SOL animes, if only because it's relaxing... and it struck me lately how many I've seen that feature an almost entirely female cast of Cute Girls doing {XYZ "atypical" non-sport hobby}
I guess the hololive simp was even more cultured than we thought 😎
SOL anime has its own quality in which the "boring" and "uneventful" parts eventually become one of the best scenes as you look back at it. Other genres don't have this kind of charm to them and this is all the more reason why this type of shows should be appreciated more. It really is a tad bit sad that not many people know the charm in SOL animes.
SOL anime has a certain vibe to it which exerts positive aura off each character....and vibrant scenes with aesthetic storyline makes it a special and unique genre...
agreed
most ppl prefer shounen or other genres with tons of action
i prefer some chill anime that give off relaxing vibes and nothing beats yuru camp in this department
Yuru Camp is perfect in many ways: very relaxing, not a strict storyline, likeable characters, celebrates Rin's introversion and embracing every character's personality perfectly, and peaceful. I mean this anime literally is perfect to watch for fun and just enjoy without having to understand anything ^^
Yuru Camp should be medically prescribed as therapy. Change my mind.
No I will not, lol. I totally agree with yah!
Spitting facts. Its Literally cure for depression.
@@Doggof2p Rin, Nadeshiko, Chikuwa. The Holy Trinity of dopamine.
Imma pass on that challenge, anyone wanna try?
@@Doggof2p not depression for me more on anxiety but yeah. It helps.
"Yuru Camp Season 2 was a reminder of the possibilities you have, even alone, if you just smile and _seize the day_ "
Ah, I see what you did there xD
What did he do there?
@@justinodo Seize the day is the name of the opening of Yuru Camp S2.
👉👉 ayyyy
@@justinodo that's basically the chorus for Seize the Day, Yuru Camp S2 opening.
Every episode of season 1 and 2 gave me a big smile. I love this series.
I noticed this myself, partway through watching the first episode of season 2 I found myself just smiling constantly, which is something that seldom happens watching anything. The music, the characters, their situations and interactions, the combination is just indescribably pleasing, somehow on a subconscious level, almost. I think it would take a hard heart or a deliberate need to be contrary to dislike this show when watching it.
There's a third season confirmed for next year ~~ I can't wait~~
Guys 3rd season had already come
that ED song made me cry almost every week from the kind sadness of the realization that the episode had ended.
The way UTS tells how an anime connected to him personally , not how it is objectively Good or Not . I feel that is the best way to review any piece of media . I love UTS's videos , so thank you for being so passionate .
I'm a simple man: I see Yuru Camp, I click.
There's Non Non Biyori, you should check it if you haven't, Yuru Camp is similar, but more comedy aspects to boot
Haven't them both in the same season was dangerous, I almost went catatonic from how comfy I was.
Agree it's Rin is also there
I didn't think it was possible but season 2 somehow manage to improve upon every aspect of the show. The music, direction, art, animation, even comfier vibes, its was absolutely perfect.
Yessir. I enjoyed every mili second of both seasons
And we getting a movie next year, I’m having high hopes of the series finishing its glory at the very very best. Or I hope they will continue having more seasons ;)
@@s.z.x.01 we will have Season 3!
Damn, your point about how Rin as a character is something less often seen, the loner type but who also isn't portrayed a certain way and is just vibing with loneliness hit different. Even Super Cub airing this season has a sort of loner character but she has this super dark backstory to her along with that. I'm not sure I can even off the head name another show so potent in just appreciating loneliness.
Rin might just be my favorite anime character ever.
Yeah this why i love YC so much other anime would just treat it as some kind of disease like oh no u can't be a loner cause that would make u a loser etc
Koguma from Super Cub is not a loner, she's obviously depressed. Rin hasn't been depressed at all.
Rin definitely isn't a loner since she has a wonderful family, unlike others. Some people can't call their homes 'home'.
Yeah this is what really got me in the first episode. Rin just doing her stuff and chilling on that quiet, empty beach. There was this sense of peacefulness and serenity.
You can really see the passion behind Yuru Camp. Afro (the mangaka) has this wonderful way of putting the joys and experiences of camping and traveling into every panel of the manga, while still slipping in some cool and informative information about camping or cooking or Yamanashi itself. I’m sad that there doesn’t seem to be that much in terms of push for the series here in the west (come on! At least give me a blu ray to buy! T^T), but at least we have the manga and the anime to keep us comfy.
Well, thanks t CD Japan, we can at least buy the soundtrack CDs, and the CDs by Eri Sasaki with long versions of the ED songs. Season 1 CDs are in rotation in my car CD player.
For me, Yuru Camp has been a safe space. I felt like nothing could go wrong while watching every episode, there was only happines, comfiness and warmth. Fantastic video!
I already deeply miss Yuru-camp Thursdays. It's been a *really* hard year and not being able to see friends hasn't helped, and this show, manga and soundtrack have been therapeutic
This anime is so refreshing to watch. Also glad you’re back brotha, great vid as always!
Where Thursday is never boring
It is the only anime that I can watch so many times without getting bored
the chill, the music.
4:40 Started crying during the replaying of this scene, I think a rewatch of the season is in order for me.
Superb video for a superb series.
I can't agree more with you. This anime is so wholesome.
The season 1, season 2 and Heya camp soundtracks are just so relaxing when riding around on my bicycle on a sunny afternoon 😎
I was stressed out because of exams around January and then i started this masterpiece anime and ngl i felt absolutely refreshed after watching an episode at night, and then season 2 was even better than the first one. This anime has helped me through some tough times a lot and i am absolutely very very grateful to everyone who worked on it. I'll never get bored i just wanna sit by the window, watch yuru camp and drink some coffee all day
I'm gonna miss this chilling gem, I got hungry during it!
Yuru camp is also so healing to enjoy. Whenever I listen to the music it feels so pure. I really enjoy solo camping all the time and I only do it because of Yuru camp!
There's another anime like yuru camp airing this season. It's called 'Super Cab'
I think you meant super cub? Not sure tho
I like Rin's character for inspiring me to enjoy being alone... An introvert like her feels very relatable. I can see myself winter camping alone if I were to be given the tools and places to do so; it's one way to enjoy the Winter season.
Yuru camp was the anime I needed the most in the current situation, it's so sad it's over. But there is a movie confirmed, which is really nice.
Despite the pandemic mainly being over, as someone who's struggling with social anxiety i can't help but feel like those feelings of isolation have been an everyday. And I've been working on it, looking after myself and I've definitely gotten better. Sometimes though I still feel like I have a long way to go.
This video has kind of reminded me though not to worry about things outside of my control and to just enjoy what i have in this isolation so I'm ready to face the world head on when the time comes. I may as well enjoy spending time with myself instead of wishing what could be.
Just some thoughts I had after watching this.
Great video btw. Really encapsulates why I love the series so much in a nice way with your own personal stories.
Such a relaxing show.
I absolutely love it!
I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of why Rin's character works for so many of us; I've never been able to put my finger on it properly before but the show and manga are perfect in showing that being an introvert and being happy doing some things on our own aren't a bad thing, and that those qualities don't mean we can't participate or interact with others at all.
Yuru Camp has been the most relaxing & heartwarming anime that I have seen. I watched each episode right before going to bed. I enjoyed family camping trips growing up but I've never gone solo camping before. I hope I'll be able to try solo camping sometime this year. Thanks for another great video UTS!
I’ve had the season 2 OP in my head all day
Also, that okonomiyaki restaurant is REAL! There’s a UA-cam channel where they go to all the real life locations in the show.
Honestly, I've watched a bunch of SoL anime, everything from K-On to Non Non Biyori. Loved em
But Laid Back Camp... it's wholesome. Almost too wholesome. I don't even like camping but not only did I binge both seasons of the show in a day, I kinda wanna try camping for myself
Nothing has ever done that. Not a game, movie, book or song.
Mad props to everyone who worked on the series. You made a show that took the crown of my favorite SoL anime, and then some
man i rarely watch anime genre like this but just 1 episode yuru camp enough to make me captivated and watch till the end. one of the best FOR ME.
While i've currently only watched the first couple episodes i have to say: i appreciate rins character so much, while we aren't one in the same (i'm certainly a lot less capable than rin) i can see and feel a lot of myself in rin, her quiet expressions and desire to appreciate the alone, just a quiet and introverted but also normal character, with many shows pushing more extreme and colorful personality tropes its not something you see much, and so rin is one of the first characters i've encountered that just clicks with me on a personal level
And also just the premise of yuru camp itself, most shows are much more about drama and/or action, but yuru camp is just peaceful, its something i didn't know i wanted but its one of my favorite things now, and it encapsualates and gives a reference to a lot of my own creative desires in a way the power fantasy and drama shows never could
This is exactly how I feel about Rin and the show too
Yuru Camp s2 had fierce competition from Non Non Biyori Nonstop ❤️
This is one of the most beautiful, gentle, relaxing, meditative, entertaining and heartwarming anime series I've seen since I got into anime in the early 2000's. It's just so amazing to me, and I love it so much.
I'd want to hug them so much when they are in their comfy coats :3
You know when I watch Yuru camp during depression like my depressed suddenly go a way and then my mind set to peace so I decided to enjoy my life while I'm still a teenager and for the fact I agree Yuru camp can heal!
Yuru Camp was what come the closes of the Aria series for me (my iyashikei reference). As someone who go camping alone as well, it was easy to like Rin since like you said, isn't everyday that this kind of character is portrayed in the anime media, and quite well. The franchises is something that you can feel the work and dedication put on it in every episode.
You told about personal experiences having a influence, I don't know with you like or ride motorcycles, but give a watch in the first episode of Super Cub that works quite well as a standalone episode. Very well made (artistically and technical speaking), a lot of attention to details and these little challenges and personal rewards of overcome them. It gave me a bit of the A Place Further than the Universe feeling and was quite nostalgic.
I've had years of camping experience from elementary- highschool. In College I haven't done this its something I miss, watching Yuru Camp inspired me to go camping again
When you said 'cancelled trip to japan' I really felt that. Another banger of a video !
this anime warms your heart and soul with each episode
Your videos like this feel like coming home. When I started the video, I had to pause it to make sure the background music wasn't my mother playing her piano downstairs. Thank you for having such a unique, chill, and comforting air.
I legit discovered this anime in mid-january, so not even 3 full months ago at the time of writing this comment. And it almost instantly became my favourite anime of all times. Heck, episode 1 of season 1 is so peaceful, it might just be my favourite episode of all times, all animes combined.
The chill atmosphere, soundtrack, and god-tier attention to details, make this the perfect anime for me. Also, while I always enjoyed camping, Rin has had the same effect on me as Nadeshiko: I actually want to try solo-camping, so about an hour ago, I actually booked a spot at a nearby campground just outside of town (I don't have a car). I will spend 2 days at that campground in August (It was the earliest I could have 2 straight days on a spot on the edge of the lake). And I'm super excited to try it out.
Obviously, I will bring my full set of Yuru Camp Manga to read hahaha.
I get that fluffy feeling again. damn you just hit the spot there. Now I'm wishing to have short term memory lost and rewatch Yuru Camp like the first time every day/week
Glad to see that I'm not alone, thinking that Yuru Camp is a really great series. A perfect brew of an anime.
It too reminded me of the times I went camping via school activities. though, I remember more of the camping part than the activities (LoL). The nostalgia and the warm-relaxing feeling comforted me every time I watch each episode. And hearing the announcement for season 2 lifted me up during the first year of pandemic.
I dare say Yuru Camp is one of the top, if not, the peak of what Slice of life genre can offer. (And I'm ready to die on this hill.) Love the video, Under The Scope! Great quality and content as always. (Though, I only got the notification like a month after this got uploaded. UA-cam is so weird.)
Thank you for this video! ❤️
Yuru Camp is strangely enough, one of the most hard-hitting and emotional shows for me. Watching Season 2 amidst the pandemic really reminded me of my "solo camp" living alone in a foreign country for a long time. Rin's quote really resounded well to me. And Eri Sasaki's ED songs really bring the message home even more.
Ahhhh... what more can I really say about Yuru Camp? It's definitely my kind of show, my description of what anime really is, and an experience that I'd do in fantasy and in reality.
AHHHHHHHyour video essays are always soo goood ahhh
This anime is straight up therapy for me. I'm really looking forward to the airing of Season 3 in April! Apparently in Japan they had a live screening of the first 3 episodes in advance and the reception was generally positive despite the studio change. Looks like we'll be getting the same comfy and wholesome vibes that made us fall in love with the series at the start of season 1 and I can't wait to watch next chapters in the manga come to life!
One of, if not the best healing/comfy anime out there
As always, excellent video.
thankyou for making this video
The first time I watched yuru camp, was in bed recovering from getting wisdom teeth removed, high as a kite, one of the best first watches of anime in my short life so far
You hit pretty much everything, I can’t explain my love for this show. Beautiful video!
Great video. Makes me want to re-watch Yuru Camp again pretty badly.
Glad to have found this channel and I look forward to your future videos!
Whoa this was a great video essay, really calming and the best way to head into the weekend!
welcome back
im always waiting for your next videos and talk about anime that i absolutely are watching it.
Welcome Back, Yuru Camp Video! Much
I got through season 1 of AoT then said, "I need something that makes living seem nice and viable again". This helped, so thank you, Yuru Camp.
What I love about this anime is how relaxed the plot is. I love putting this anime on while I’m grinding on a switch or xbox game. Its simple and easy to follow along that just makes me feel relaxed. Aoi for best girl btw
Hell Yeah A UTS video on one of my aboslute favourites lets go
Love this anime it’s so calm and comfortable to watch!
Wow you're well versed, great narration! ✌️😁
Growing up learning to appreciate nature and the healing properties of immersing yourself it in would definitely translate to a series such as this one. This was a great narrative!!
This video is so freaking comfy! Just like the show! Yuru Camp is one of my favorite anime of all time and it's so nice to see one of my favorite UA-camrs covering it!
One of my favorite shows!
Bro there isn't a video of yours where i don't tear up. I really appreciate the respect you got for this medium.
Spot on as usual. 👍😊
Yo such a good video. Love your content.
I watched it more than twice during pandemic it's relaxing 😍
Great video ❤️
It’s so good, motivated me to start camping again 🏕
It's so nice to meet people with the same values as us. Thx.
I remember when I first watched yuru camp about 3 years ago.. it was the best experience in media of my life at that point. I’ve yet to watch season 2 until I find the right place and time yet again so I can achieve those lovely feels. Also- I’m in love with the music of yuru camp to this day. Music plays a big part in atmosphere and mood and without it the experience wouldn’t be the same.
They already announced season 3 :)
thank you Jack!
Rinchan is a whole vibe. She and the rest of the crew make me appreciate the giant natural park I live next to much more
Eyyy the video is back.
This came in time, i just finished the 2 seasons, and i can't get enough
I love your work, i love your video and your calm voice. You always manage to put words on feelings i have but can't express after watching a beautifull anime, you even sometimes put words on feelings i didn't notice i had, and, for that, even though i lack the words to say it properly, Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You.
If anything therapeutic, its how you present your video
Just amazing
Every time I came back to this anime after watching anything else, I appreciate even more how perfect this has been made.
It's a tradition now. I stably rewatch yuru camp every spring 🌸
This show was just incredible! I don't think I ever wanted to go camping during winter more than while watching this show.
Concise, I like it
After watched this anime,i become often going outdoor trip alone and really enjoyed it
watched it on a roadtrip with family (watched alone) literally made the trip more fun
God your videos are good. Thank you for changing my mind on K-on.
I started watching anime recently after checking out Bocchi the Rock! on a whim. I'd say now is a point where I'm at my lowest point mentally and emotionally, at the recommendation of a friend I decided to check out Laid-Back Camp and I can't get enough of it. This show really keeps my mood lifted whenever I watch it, and as a Chef at heart the fact that a huge portion of this anime is dedicated to just talking about, cooking and eating food just warms my heart. I just finished the second season and I'm about to check out the movie, and of course I'm looking forward to Season 3. Wish I knew about anime like this sooner, I feel like I missed out on so much
you just got a new subscriberrrrrrrrrrr
It's weird seeing an anime that takes place in my prefecture be so popular lol
What i like the most about Yuru Camp is how the series showcase regional specialties and tourist spots that people outside Japan can appreciate and add to their itinerary.
Exactly how I feel. Iyashikei is a must for every season.
Nice!
There is another Japanese camping show, but it’s live action called Eat and Sleep at Camp Alone. It’s about a male and female that never meet and you see 2 different style of solo camping in Japan. It’s like live action slice of life.
Just discovered this one and watched the final episode of season 2 today. I know there's a movie coming out but until then, I'm gonna miss it.
i love healing anime like yuru camp
season 3 is currently airing and it indeed is a space once a week to just relax with this crew of cure girls doing cute things
Thank you
I recently just caught season 2 and I find that I enjoyed it a lot more than season 1 which i watched back in 2018. Hearing you mention how the show can feel like an escape in our current times, I think maybe that is a big reason for the second season feeling much more impactful than its first season.
