I had a no good very bad utter shit day at work today. But I was offered some salvation knowing I’d be able to come home and watch the Yuru Camp movie. And lo and behold, it was just! Fine. Nice, all around - certainly has all the usual strengths of Yuru Camp but with movie production going for it. Though I kinda think that the 2 hour run time and the way they achieved said runtime made the movie drag a little? The tl;dr is that shortly after the halfway mark everything just goes wrong and creates a bunch of conflict in the iyashikei series - their campground build gets completely canned, Aoi’s school gets closed down, Rin’s accidentally overworking her coworker - I half expected Chikuwa to outright die with how much attention they called to his age and how wrong everything else was going lol. Yuru Camp is allowed real conflict obviously, but I don’t really think it felt that good in this movie when it was mostly just there to stretch out the runtime. The movie also attempts a thematic throughline of having the characters realise that now that they’re adults there’s more that they can do, but the “more that they can do” is literally in-text described as just sharing good experiences with other people, which they could do as teenagers so much that the movie even brings up Rin teaching Nadeshiko about camping! So that thematic throughline just doesn’t really work, which once again harms the movie’s big conflict part of the story since it relies on said throughline to get the cast to try turn the situation around and save the day and such. Suppose all in all it was just a bit weird - Yuru Camp attempted a slightly longer form narrative format and deeper storytelling, but just dropped the ball in a couple of ways to where it didn’t really work. I didn’t really think much of the movie’s weird fanservice moments either - oh their project management room is narrow just like the school clubroom haha, or oh let’s have Rin’s motorbike need maintenence so she can use the moped - just felt kinda noncommittal.

But, for all that. It really is still Yuru Camp lol. Comfy, gorgeous, few more times of year go into the backgrounds so we get some really nice deep greens in the summer and some beautiful snowdrop backgrounds in full on winter, and hey these characters are as pleasantly cute and cosy as always. Literally I was on the verge of tears at the end of the OP just because this series really does just simply make me happy above all else.
