Oh boy, a video on one of my favorite aspects of Yuru Camp. I feel like this series does a very good job at portraying both the fun of doing something (camping) with a group of friends, but also showing that doing that by yourself is also an equally interesting experience. Not only that, but it shows a respect for both sides. I normally travel alone (i know, not camping, but still point remains the same), and some people really seem surprised at the fact that you can have fun by yourself, and not get bored. It's an amazing experience to be alone in a new place, just you and your thoughts. You and your little adventure. The best part of travelling alone is, though, that you can choose how to spend your time, maybe sometimes you just want to talk to people and have fun with them. You can do that quite easily (and I do). Or you can choose to explore a new place completely alone (and I also do that). I think everyone should be comfortable with either of those situations. Not necessarily liking both the same , but be comfortable and realize than there are things to gain from both. Being fine with just your own company from time to time even if you are an extrovert. Appreciating the company of others from time to time even if you are an introvert. Or at least that's how I feel.

In season 2 this gets even better, cause not only it didn't happened what you'd expect of Rin joining the others and stopping camping by herself, but even the opposite happens, Nadeshiko, the ultra-extroverted girl gets interested on spending time by herself and goes camping alone. I loved this decision and elevated Yuru Camp even more for me

Lots of people think being an introvert is someone who is unable to socialize like normal. I think it's mostly that an introvert prioritizes being alone over going out their way to socialize. It creates this impression that they are unable to talk to people but that assumption is just not correct.

It's true that too many anime try to "fix" introverts. I didn't even notice until watching your video, that I liked the show partly because it doesn't do that.

Leave Rin alone! She only for Nadeshiko.

Yuru camp has finished its second season, and even now Rin hasn't joined the club. But she still tags along every once in a while. And i like it. Even in the second opening you can see her on her vespa following close by.

"...live happily and tell no one, people ruin beautiful things." - Gibran

I really like how the dynamic between Nadeshiko and Rin friendship works, with mamashiko learning to reflect more about herself and thus growing up a little while shimarin tries to do new things and step outside her comfort zone little by little sometimes. Being with another person or a group always give you something good but being solitary sometimes is important for talking with yourself, an slice of life about camping with a deep yet simple meaning is what Yurukyan is.

I was wondering why I loved Rin's solo camping moments more than group camping moments in both seasons...Thanks to this video I knew the reason - it's because I can relate to Rin as an introvert. Being an introvert myself, I just love going to places alone and have only my thoughts do the talking randomly like a tour guide or a critic. Likewise when watching or reading stuff by myself etc. It's just the peace and quiet and/or have the ability to think without any interruptions or have people talking near you. I think this is something that hardly anyone (especially extroverts) can get. Sometimes even during lunch breaks at work, I just feel like going to a nearby café alone without any of my colleagues due to the same reasons above. Just like how Rin loves doing solo camping, I love doing things or going somewhere all by myself a lot of times. Now, this doesn't mean I don't socialise. I talk like a chatterbox when it comes to my favourite topics in a conversation, or hanging out with friends like watching a movie etc. Maybe not parties as I hate the drinking culture. But just that most of times I just enjoy to be alone, it's my mood and that's what I favour the most. Glad there is an anime out there that explores this with pride.

Remember that disgust face Rin made when Nadeshko asked her to join the club in ep 2? That was so funny... and bold!

The way Rin really is only close friends with Nadeshiko and not the rest of the club is so spot on too.

I’m just happy that a great analysis video of one of my favorite anime exists. Rin’s independence and dryness is balanced out well with her willingness to open up to those close to her and her sense of humor. I rarely find characters that I relate to and aspire to as much as Rin.

I wish friends could understand that some of us just want time alone or be alone with the right person

We thrive being by ourselves but we do enjoy socializing from time to time. One on ones feel more comfortable than a group chat but eventually we adapt and hopefully you dont regret us opening up.

I just love this show. It’s so pretty and just feels amazing. And it’s very cute xD

Thumbnail is from that episode where she finds "beast statues" at a camp site somewhere. She isn't shouting at anything

Great video. I was curious if I was the only person who appreciated this aspect of Yuru Camp, and I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I am not. Even better, by the end of season two, not only did Rin not join the club yet, she inspired Nadeshiko to do some solo camping herself. It made me so happy to see introversion not treated like some sort of problem for once.

I remember first watching the show and when Rin was asked to join the club I was expecting her to agree (or maybe agree down the line). When she flat out refuses, I had to pause the video because I was laughing too hard.

I also love this anime for this, since im am introvert myself.

It's an interesting subversion that the super shy one is the one that knows the most about the hobby from episode 1 and the loud super extroverted one is the inexperienced newbie to the hobby

This was an awesome video essay, well done :)

Great video. I never really so Yuru camp that way. Now I have new found appreciation for the anime. Subbed

I am 4 years late, but finally someone who mention the rare point of this show

I'll get back to this anime right now. For some reason this video made me feel so well about myself.

Really appreciate a lot for this video and the last part is exactly true😁❤

I love this anime soooo much, this anime have a very special place in my heart

Great show! Motocamping, good food, wholesome friendships, its got it all.

I can't wait for the next season of Yuru Camp sometime next year. Confirmed in October of 2022 that there is a third season, so I will be happy to be relaxing to this great anime^^

5 years later and this video still RINg true. I celebrating season 3 by rewatching all old video.

holy crap this show is already 4 years old

rin is so me i love her

I wanna watch more anime like this one and super cub Really good for my study breaks!!

One of the most comfy and most beautiful animes

"completely along, together" such a strong line

good video

Man~~~~That's deep.

As an introvert, I really identified myself with Shima Rin, what made her become my favorite character along with Nadeshiko

why does this video wanna make me cry???

This anime has successfully given me the hardest post anime depression

The grown up yuru camp tho 😢😂😂 idk I just wish they stay highschool for longer that movie starting almost made me spit out my water 😂

Nice video. Maybe cover super cub next time it has similar vibes to yurucamp and is a rly good anime too.

Good video, still applies

As an introvert, I identify more with Rin. I like solo camping and other such things. And yet I do participate, even host events like BBQs and such. But I need my alone time as well.

Rin solo trip is excelent..

yuru camp is the firt show where the "introvert" drags the extrovert to their world and not the reverse

So being a introvert isn't bad all this time.

“Leave Lin alone” AHHhhh Akira…ki..ra..ki…ra AHHHHHHH

after watching yuru camp* Me: I wanna camp alone

I am an introvert, who bought a flashy motorcycle (Kawasaki Ninja 400), I don't know if it is very intelligent on the part of an introvert

Did you have to leave those cutted onions around 😢?

I find it baffling that people can like Fuutarou Uesugi but Nor Rin Shima. Rin certainly has a better character growth.

yuru camp celebrates going to fucking camping its not that deep nice vid btw bro

I'm still pleasantly surprised that Rin hasn't joined the club yet. Also, *we're reaching comfy levels that shouldn't even be possible*

It's not really mentioned in the video but Rin was pretty sociable even before Nadeshiko came on the scene. She took pictures of the places she was camping and she'd mess around on LINE even while she was camping by herself. She isn't socially awkward in any way - in her own way she's pretty bold - she just likes the solitude of solo camping. She has a balance in her life that she likes and works for her.

Remember, never watch Yuru Camp on an empty stomach!

Can I say *thank you* ? For the longest time, I thought that being introvert was some sort of... "not good" thing. Because how people (and Internet/Social Media) give preference to loud, flashy people, with personality and stuff. Just look at how many people are enraptured by Elon Musk. I talked about introvert thing with my mom, and she sort of opened my eyes as to introverted people have value, but the way society is, they can not fully appreciate it. It was such a relief to hear. Then much later when I watched this anime, I thought Rin would turn into a stereotypical Kudure, but to my surprise, she felt very real and relatable (similar to Kobayashi in Dragon Maid). But what had my heart was the girls surrounding her. *They gave space to Rin without making a fuss about it* . I usually feel that when people want constantly something out of you when you are around them, and as an introvert, it can drain you. Your analysis reminded me a lot of what my mom said to me. I had a rush of "feels" coming to me, I wanted to THANK YOU for that. Love, An Introvert.

i am an introvert myself and my brother (who is extrovert) always try to bring me along for some evening event. sometime i go and i enjoy it, but 8 out of 10 i would say no. so it feel nice to see an extrovert not trying to fix the intro. simply because there is nothing to fix.

Rin is my favorite character of the show. She wants to be alone most of the time but she isn't shy about talking with the other characters. She has a lot of great moments when she's by herself, which is very hard for most slice of life characters and other characters in general since character interaction is one of the most important traits in slice of life shows in my opinion. Even my favorite characters probably can't pull that off. Although it was forshadowed that Rin will camp with the others in a large group, I hope that it will be her that says that she wants to camp with the others.

Rin is perfect and you know it

Rin is just too good to be true. I can relate to her in almost any part of my life. I love travelling alone and take some photos. I only have a few friends in my life and I am happy with it. I am socially awkward sometimes and rejected most of my friend's invitation to go out. But they keep asking me and that's fine because they genuinely cared about me. I've never seen an anime that fits so perfectly right to me. Absolutely putting this in my top list.

I love this show so much. It's comforting to see something not so common in real life, people still extending a hand towards the loner time and time again to include them (should the loner wish it) instead of halting any further offers in the future. Closing that gap once people think they shouldn't invite you to things anymore is so difficult. Just seeing the dynamic in their interactions in this show is so soothing because you don't see many examples of that balance of alone, alone together or together all in one place. At least not in media in the UK in my case.

Yes, sometimes people can't see the difference between introverts (real one and not those self-proclaiming introverts) and loner. And Introverts is not unsociable, they just need time to open up with other with their own pace. Sometimes people think its best if we can force them to open up, but actually thats wrong, we need to give them time and space, don't force your own idea for other people.

This reminds me a lot of what you said in your New Game! video. The fact that Nadeshiko and the club members balance between interacting and letting a friend do their thing, while not being cold or overly pushy is a really mature position to take, especially for a club that needs more membership. I think it has a lot to do with how they're all independently interested in camping. Rin camps by herself and enjoys it, Chiaki goes and does scouting by herself and enjoy it, and Aoi and Chiaki hold different jobs. It also makes their interactions so much more meaningful and fun when they do come together. Also contrast this with another introvert, Koizumi-san in "Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san". We rarely get to see Koizumi-san go out and enjoy ramen as herself. It always has to be framed in terms of some interaction with another more socially active character.

I am an introvert seeing yuru camp, (especially Rin) made this series comfy af. Although i can't go full solo camp (because where's the fun in that 😂) but the way they made Rin behaviour is very relatable. Also seeing nadeshiko ( the epitome of cinnamon roll...for now) makes this show even better. This series is awesome 👏🏻 i am speechless

Your videos are great but I really should be studying.... Ah another video won’t hurt

5 months later,I never tired to watching this video..

"Being a loner and that's okay" Totally agree,im one of those guys BEACUSE i choose to....😊😊😊

I don't have anything deep or meaningful to say but i really love your videos.

Im introverted and i think most people on youtube are

Great video, Hachikuji.

Hey. An anime about me. Nice

I'm in love with this anime and Rin is my spirit animal lol. You put into words what I am feeling watching it :) subbed!

Great video, sums up one of the best things about this show. I loved Rin shes one of my favorite characters I've seen in an anime. I love how she was never flustered or annoyed with Nadeshiko. Always sorta quietly amused with her goofiness.

I relate to Rin so much in this aspect. I love your psychological analysis on shows like this. Goes to show how Slice of Life is overlooked upon as just being "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things"

good analysis of rin i loved how they ended the series too. rin has, and i think will always, feel a little distant to everyone, but when the two meet organically, it puts a smile on everyones faces, almost as rin is saying "ahh, she genuinely likes it"

Amazing work as always dude!

I was legit so happy for those twelve weeks that i got to see a show like Yuru Camp. Never again will my thursdays be this comfy and the highlight of my week. I'll never forget it

This is a lovely video!! I was happy to see this show up while doing some research on Yuru Camp, definitely earned a sub! ^_^

I'm sold. Time to watch this show.

Nicely done. Good video.

I just found your channel and I am already loving it. Great video!!

Rin reminds me of myself. People always describe me as quiet, shy, or chill. And Im fine with that. And I still have fun without having to shout to the world how much fun im having.

I've watched a few of your videos now and I'm really impressed, the short but informed style is a breath of fresh air from other channels and u set the tone with the settling music in a lovely way, it's also nice to see someone make interesting points and observations about new seasonal shows aswell as older stuff, keep up the good work :) :)

Great video man

The exact point I always stress when talking with the others about Yuru Camp. It's *the* show about respecting each other.

What a lovely video! Yuru Camp is a current favorite of mine and I love Rin.

The anime already gives a lot of warmth but this video gave me a warmer feel especially the words "Of two people utterly and completely alone.... together"

Been a while since I actually enjoyed an analytical anime video till now :) Good video and I apreciate that its not 20mins or so. Thanks for not unnesesarily wasting my time :)

Subbed to this channel recently, but I have to say I really enjoy everything I've seen so far. Your concise way of focusing on a single aspect of a series is a very refreshing change of pace and I really like the shows you've chosen to cover. I'll be rooting for your channel growth for sure.

good content! glad I subbed!

I must've stuttered, love your outro dude :D

THIS IS IMPORTANT Thank you, this video is awesome!! :D

I don't think there is another man out there that derives as much meaning from these shows as you my friend. Personally, I really really enjoy Yuru Camp myself but only because it makes me relaxed and is adorable. And I suppose there's nothing wrong in finding enjoyment in these virtues but I can't help but be a little jealous. When you describe it, it seems like there's so much merit, philosophy, and lesson in these shows its astounding! I want to be able to view shows in the same light as you one day :) nevertheless, congrats on another amazing video! Definently did not disappoint 👍

I'm glad i found your Channel

Short and concise, thanks

Yuru Camp is criminally under rated.

this is great!

This is actually the anime I've been enjoying most, this season. I still have yet to watch Violet Evergarden and A Place Farther Than the Universe, though, and I feel those would be the only shows to topple Yuru Camp for me. How do you feel about the background art? Personally, I find it to be the best aspect of the show... well that and Rin is a really enjoyable character.

Such a pleasent and nice video, thanks for making it.

I finished this anime few days ago. So beautiful and chill in so many ways I subscribe
