how sleep inducing it is. My personal theory is that its so boring that most people just fell asleep while watching it- they probably had a really nice dream but accidentally mistook that dream for the anime they were watching before they fell asleep, it makes sense.As someone who stayed awake through the whole thing I guess its my duty to share my knowledge with others and let everyone know that they were wrong when they gave Yuru Camp△ a 10/10 and went around calling it really good and stuff. You're welcome!!!First things first, the characters are garbage. They all follow a simple stereotype each, which mind you isn't really a bad thing, choosing a stereotype to base your character off of and start doing the groundwork to creating an actual "character" is perfectly fine. The problem with Yuru camp△ is that they kind of forget to do the actual "creating characters" part of that. Sure hey might *look* like people, they all got arms and legs and all the other parts that make a human look like a human, its not until they actually start moving around and doing things until you start to realise you're watching an anime- not about real people, but about robots programmed to "act" like human beings. Sadly whoever created these robots failed to grasp that you need more than one character trait if you want to trick people into thinking your robots are real flesh and blood humans.Now remember, I'm not saying that all anime characters have to be like real people, not every anime can be like Neon Genesis Evangelion and 3-Gatsu no Lion after all. Especially with a "CGDCT" anime where the whole point of the show is trying to make the characters "cute", the best way to achieve this is apparently by making all the characters act like total morons/retards. And it works, just look at shows like K-on!! which is a very well-liked show and it follows the whole "making most of the characters seem like they have some kind of disorder" thing perfectly. But the difference between K-On!! and Yuru camp△ is that whoever wrote K-on!! at least googled the definitions of "comedy" and "entertainment" before they decided to make a series that tries to be "COMEDIC" AND "ENTERTAINING". You see what I'm trying to get at here? Yuru Camp△ has many scenes where people are talking, but that's all they do, they just talk to each other, sometimes a character might say something and the others start laughing- I assume what they're laughing at was supposed to be meant as a "joke" but it wasn't, they just said a random thing and people started laughing for seemingly no reason. Was the joke that there was no joke there? Like some kind of anti-humour? If so then, well, please don't make EVERY joke in your anime an anti-joke, because it makes you come off as a person who just has no idea how comedy works. I can't for the life of me understand why Yuru Camp△ has a "comedy" tag when there is no comedy to be found, its just as much of a comedy as something like Boogiepop Phantom or Legend of the Galactic heroes. As in not a comedy at all. The most essential part of being a comedy is that you need something to laugh at, but sadly that is not here in Yuru Camp△.So I guess you should understand now that this show has bad characters. There's Nadeshiko who was programmed to be obnoxious af. Aoi who was programmed to be obnoxious af. Chiaki who was programmed to be obnoxious af. And finally Rin who they actually forgot to program a """"personality"""" into but that was probably for the best since I don't think I can handle one more obnoxious freak around here. But I guess that's a double-edged sword since at the very least the obnoxious freaks are DOING *something*, Rin just sits there... or walks there... or collects pinecones for HALF AN EPISODE.... WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING ELSE. Rin is one of the main reasons *why* Yuru camp△ is so boring in the first place.Anyway, this isn't a review of Yuru Camp△ its a review of the Yuru camp△ *Specials* so I guess I should talk about what makes the specials in particular so bad too, huh? I hope you understand, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about why the show itself was bad too in case anyone who accidentally liked it stumbled upon this review.These specials consist of three short little episodes. The first of which tells the tale of when the camping club got their club room at school and also serves as a prequel to the entire series, I suppose. They kind of just sit there though, and talk about getting some camping gear but upon looking up the prices and whatnot of all the supplies needed for camping they realise that they are poor and can't afford any of it. And that' about it, nothing really special goes on here.Episode 2 is about Aoi and her identical little sister being lying scumbags and attempting to trick the other club members into believing their false lies. Nothing else really goes on, I can't give you an example of what the lies actually were or why they were stupid/not funny because to be quite frank I forget what they were due to the anime being so forgettable.Episode 3 is both my favourite and my least favourite. Its my favourite because I suppose they actually DID something... aside from sitting there and talking but my least favourite because it was the longest episode of all, lasting an entire twelve minutes. In this episode they get stranded on an island after jumping out of a plane like retards and then they go camping on the island. The episode ends with them realising that they should actually try to get help to get off the island instead of, well, camping. Help never arrived and I can only assume that the whole scenario ends with a Lord of the Flies situation.And now with that quick summary of the specials not only do you not have to watch the specials now and not waste like 20-something minutes of your life, but you can use those 20-something minutes to watch a good anime like Sakura Quest which actually knows how to write characters AND have comedy.I had a bunch of other points I wanted to make while watching the specials but unfortunately I forgot them all, which I suppose perfectly sums up what this show is like anyway. "Forgettable". Have a good day~
