Introduction:
Long awaited Yuru Camp has come back with a bigger dose of cute girls, beautiful views and most importantly: one of the most comfy experiences that one can get! Take a hot drink, make yourself comfortable and let your mind wander away to the campsites together with the girls, and...
____Characters & Story:
It's a continuation which focuses a bit less on group camping than its predecessor, but the main purpose of this season is still perfectly well constructed. As the first season took its time to introduce characters and completely acquaint us with the world of the anime, the second seasons job is the character development which was a bit lacking before. We are introduced to the childhood days of Rin and the reason she began solo camping, not forgetting about her grandfather who is responsible for this. Going further, Nadeshiko shocks us again by revealing her new, interesting quirks. The rest of characters are also getting their considerable screen time, nay, more so, we even get to meet someone’s old friend.
Character development does not stop only on the backstory, interesting facts and cute parts. The girls along with their new camping trips gain in experiences, trying new things and also develop emotionally. The feeling of loneliness and satisfaction comes after a good get-together with friends in real life, as well as in this title, which makes characters more relatable.
The story itself is as solid as it was in the first season. It develops all threads perfectly, without prolonging them as it also doesn’t leave any time for the viewers to get bored. Even though this title has one theme that is very specific, the author's brilliant ideas beautify every and each outgoing also making them memorable in their own way.
The narrative remained the same. In the same time that we get to enjoy beautifully drawn views, the narrator comments on what happened a while ago or tells us interesting facts as well as tips about camping and generally staying in the field.

Music & Graphics:
To be honest I have to admit that I’ve had a bit of a concern about this season's music quality, but it was unnecessary. As much as I thought this masterpiece OST cannot be surpassed by season two, I got very much shocked. Tateyama Akiyuki had done more than a solid job in creating an unforgettable, chilling and nostalgic soundtrack which fits perfectly with the camping atmosphere.Graphics have not changed too much, they’re still impressing, though the color palette seems more lively than before. The backgrounds still remain as the biggest positive of this title. I can't count how many times I’ve been impressed by a masterfully drawn background of mountains and other views. Characters are cute and we can see a wide range of expressions on their faces. Not only are the graphics well done, but the attention to detail amazes me even more. It doesn't matter if you look at less important buildings or tasty food which immediately makes you hungry, the diminishing of quality doesn’t exist. Overall I can't imagine any single thing that perform better in these areas, but nonetheless it does surpass itself.

Summary:
This season is a continuation without a single flaw. Everything is just at the same level of quality or even betters the previous season. The anime develops the story greatly and gives off a feeling that this is not only just a camping anime.If you still haven't seen the first season, please do yourself a favor and watch it as soon as possible. Yuru Camp is something that can't be ignored, especially for Slice of Life/Iyashikei fans.
