Juru Camp - Season 3

What can I say about the third season of "Comfy Camp"? The atmosphere remains as delightful as in the previous seasons. The humor is light, charming, and occasionally a bit silly — exactly what you’d expect from a series about cute girls doing cute things. The music is wonderfully relaxing, featuring gentle motifs with flutes, guitars, and violins. The opening and ending songs are perfectly chosen, matching the vibe of the entire series, and I never felt the urge to skip them. The animation continues to impress, capturing the beauty of various Japanese landscapes and even simple things like blooming sakura trees. This season, instead of exploring Japanese geospots, the first half took us on a journey featuring different types of rope bridges. There’s still a variety of camping and traveling experiences, useful tips for aspiring campers, and plenty of food and outdoor cooking demonstrations. The main characters remain the same — charming, entertaining, and lovable. So, why did I give this season an extra star? In past seasons, I constantly complained about the 3DCG vehicles — the cars, scooters, and other modes of transport never seemed to fit with the beautiful 2D backgrounds and ruined the immersion for me. But something changed this season. Either the 3D models improved, the person creating them did a better job, the overall composition was better integrated, or (though I doubt it) I just got used to them. This time, Rin’s scooter and Nadeshiko’s sister’s car didn’t bother me — they finally blended in, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the story and enjoy the scenery and its atmosphere. I simply love Yuru Camp. It brings me so much joy, making me smile from ear to ear with each episode, and I look forward to every new season. 8.8/10 (20.06.2024)
