"Yuru Yuri (Season 2)" thoughts (up to episode 7)

So a show that I haven't talked about in a long, long time is Yuru Yuri. Unlike Sword Art Online and Kokoro Connect which I watch each new episode as soon as it is available, I feel as if I can watch Yuru Yuri at my own pace without losing anything in the long run. After thinking about what I was going to write in this post, I find myself having a hard time trying to think of any negatives about this season of Yuru Yuri.

So pretty much every episode so far has followed what the previous season did which is have some random chain of events occur in each episode; usually followed by hilarious and cute scenes. The overall charm of Yuru Yuri is still here and each character like before has their own unique characteristics. Chinatsu is still snappy and the overall cute one of the bunch, Kyouko is the tomboy always causing scenes, Yui is the quite and collected one of the bunch, and Akari is still Akari. The social interactions between the characters are as hilarious and adorable as ever; there are some parts that I would even say are more well done than its first season ever accomplished.



The animation is pretty well done; scenes are drawn very well and the transition parts flow quite nicely. The characters all look great making all the cast almost too adorable for their own good. Sound is also spot on so far. Each character's voice actor really knows how to transfer emotion into the final product that we see in each episode. The best part, the comedy, is largely intact and is as funny as ever. Each episode spawns it's own chain of events that usually entails many funny scenes. Even the side characters play a huge roll in the comedy (much more than the first season in my opinion).

I wish I had more to say but there really isn't anything else I can elaborate on at the moment. The show is great; no other way to describe it. If you are looking for an anime that you can watch at your own pace then check out Yuru Yuri (season one first).

"Yuru Yuri (season 2)" episodes 2-7 thoughts


So out of all the currently airing anime, Yuru Yuri is the one that I have been the laziest one keeping up with. Maybe it is because I am so in love with Kokoro Connect and Sword Art Online (more of a love hate relationship) or because you have to be in a certain mood to really appreciate Yuru Yuri. It is one of those shows that you just have to understand that literally nothing will be accomplished plot wise during the episode you are about to watch. It is most definitely a show that you go to watch because you want to laugh and turn your brain off and compared to the first season, Yuru Yuri (season 2) is putting up a decent fight in terms of overall enjoyment.

All the episodes I have seen so far has had everything that made Yuru Yuri's first season so fun to watch. There is slapstick comedy, good animation, great voice acting, and very likable characters. Each character is so unique compared to any other one in the show. My favorite character is and always will be Kyouko because her personality always sets up confrontations between the other characters in the show. Another reason why Yuru Yuri works so well is because it has a decent amount of characters and there is no real main character to focus on. Each one gets a pretty good amount of screen time so you have the chance to get to know each one. You easily pick up on what each character's personality is, who they like, and best of all who they cannot stand. The back and forth issues between Kyouko and Chinatsu almost make the entire show for me.

This season of Yuru Yuri does not have a main plot line just like its previous season. Each episode is just a series of random events and we are just to sit back and watch everything unfold. Each episode has been very entertaining and I actually like that I have been able to watch the show at my own pace and not shotgun the episodes. The anticipation IMO make each episode even more funny and enjoyable. Even though I put this show lower on my priority list to watch each week, I still look forward to it.

Anime Currently Watching (August 2012)

After finishing Kannagi, Fate/Zero, and Fate/Stay Night, I feel pretty drained out but there are still some great airing and completed anime that I am watching which are:
  1. Kaze no Stigma Ep. 15 of 24 Stalled
  2. Shakugan no Shana Ep. 1 of 24 Dropped
  3. Kokoro Connect Ep. 7 of ?
  4. Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! Ep. 7 of ?
  5. Yuru Yuri (season 2) Ep. 6 of ?
  6. Tari Tari Ep. 7 of ? 
  7. Sword Art Online Ep. 8 of ?
  8. Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita Ep. 6 of ?
Personally I am close to stalling on Kaze no Stigma due to the fact that I just haven't had the urge to sit down and watch it. I am so ready for the new episode of Kono Naka ni Hitori and also looking forward to watching Shakugan no Shana which I have heard from many people is a pretty well done anime. I also picked up Tari Tari (which is currently airing) because after watching the first episode, the characters and flow of the anime remind me so much of Hana-Saku Iroha (which was a decent anime IMO).

Edit:
Saw a promotion for Sword Art Online while on Crunchyroll and thought about giving it a try. Ended up watching all the available episodes and now I'm hooked :D

Edit 2:
Holy crap watched one episode of Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita and was completely hooked.

Anime Currently Watching

This is actually the first time that I have bothered to watch currently airing anime in a long time so the weekly wait for new episodes is just KILLING ME -___-
Currently on episode:
  1. Kannagi Ep. 7 of 13 Done!
  2. Kaze no Stigma Ep. 15 of 24
  3. Kokoro Connect Ep. 6 of ?
  4. Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! Ep. 5 of ?
  5. Yuru Yuri (season 2) Ep. 6 of ?
  6. Tari Tari Ep. 1 of ?
Favorites at the moment are Kokoro Connect and Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! because even though they are simply school life/harem stuff, they both have interesting twists and plot devices that set them apart from other slice of life shows revolving in a high school setting.

"Yuru Yuri ♪♪ (season 2)" episode 1 thoughts

Ahhh Yuru Yuri...the show that last year although I didn't want to admit, was one of my favorites of all time. As the name implies the show draws heavily on Yuri type content (pretty much girls love) which to some people can be pretty weird to endure. I find myself one of these people but I still enjoyed the show last season. The pretty animation, great voice actors, funny comedic scenes, and interesting characters made me hold though all the way to the end. This summer marks the return of Yuru Yuri and so far it is all the same (which is a good thing). All the characters (from what I can tell in the opening) are back and will play a major role in the second season. The first episode showcased Akari Akaza in her own wonderland while the girls ride on a train to a spa. Pretty much the rest of the episodes retained the odd but fun scenes that makes Yuru Yuri stand out from the other slice of life shows. An example of these scenes is when Akari accidentally hits a ping pong ball into Chinatsu's hair and moments later it gets engulfed by the hair. The reactions of the characters are priceless and make the show really funny. Yes there is Yuri content but to be honest it isn't to the point where I just cannot watch the show. Nothing is shown; everything is just suggestive themes. The first episode really brought back some great memories of the first season and I cannot wait to watch the episodes as they release.
