Is Yama no Susume A Strictly Better Yuru Camp Δ? 

I think what bugs me the most about Yuru Camp and Yama no Susume being so often put together is that in key aspects of the narrative they are polar opposites. Yuru Camp is about respecting boundaries, Yama no Susume is (mostly) about getting rid of them. To a point this is also the reason why YC is more of my preference, it handles introversion and solitude in a more constructive and respectful way, while YnS chooses a more conventional way of help and support to push a character out of a situation that is clearly framed as bad. There's also the issue that YnS is more of a character drama than YC, which is why I even struggle to fully consider it an iyashikei, at least not a "pure" one, right from the beginning. There's a lot of conflict and stakes in it, and it constantly reminds of the ugliest aspects of as you said, the hobby, but also the interrelations. Aoi and Hinata argue a lot and there are plenty of moments of tension and clash throughout. It doesn't treat friendship as a safe space, and this is quite different from the norm in many cute girls doing stuff shows, and it feels refreshing that way. To a point as well, the hobby is not framed in the same way, and not only due to the negatives. In YC the characters are a lot more involved with camping and its intricacies, they are constantly pushing to learn new stuff and are basically excited to try everything. In YnS you don't see this amount of enthusiasm towards hiking and at some points it's like they don't have anything better to do, and that's why some of my least favorite episodes or scenes have to do with its procedural aspects like buying gear or explaining stuff. I think YnS works better at the friendship and character dynamics side. In short, they are different, at some points even opposites. Each with their own appeal. I'm far more into what YC does, but the latest season of YnS was a worthy contender and the show grows on me the more I watch, and its character animation in particular is amazing.

Disclaimer: Never watch Yuru Camp Δ when you are going to sleep, it will just make you hungry

That being said, Yuru camp and Yama no Susume are strictly better than most slice of life shows

I liked both shows in its own way. They are indeed different. However, the second season of Yama no Susume gave me a much more profound experience.

Both are great stories about introverts. But with the roles kind of reversed, where the camping newbie in Yama no Susume is the introvert, and in Yuru Camp she's the extrovert.

Videos 100% on point. And honestly I’d add it to my favorites just for talking about Yama no Susume. That show is honestly not talked about enough.

If you like these two animes then I would recomend "a place further than the universe".

I cannot even begin to fathom what amount of time and effort went into making all this and how you are capable of finding the motivation to push through, Thank you for your hard work

I keep meaning to watch Yama no Susume but haven't yet i really need to get on it

Yuru Camp is so freaking god damm good and I almost forget about it Great video man!

Man, I really enjoy your videos. It's short but strike right to the points. Not to mention the chill background music. And I love how you "kamimashita-ed" your patron's name lol

I love the flubbed names at the end of videos. I may not be able to watch every anime that I want but I wouldn't dare miss these videos.

Two great shows and an MTG reference? I'm in. Hype for Yuru Camp season 2, and pray for Yama no Susume season 4 (we gotta get back to Fuji).

This video raises a very important point that I appreciate from my favorite, super positive youtuber. I think for most shows, even those that are very similar on a surface level, the small differences in the details are very important. Every person has unique tastes, and you can't rely on another persons opinion, to judge whether a show is going to be right for you or not. The shows that most exemplify this for me are K-On, BanG Dream, and Love Live. All of which I watched within two years of each other, in that order. For me, only BanG Dream truly hooked me into the franchise and characters. I've seen it beginning to end three times now, with plans to rewatch it again all in one go this weekend. Not to say I didn't enjoy the other two, and I have a great deal of respect for K-On for what it did for CGDCT. So naturally, it pains me greatly whenever I hear people write BanG Dream as a boring, unoriginal story with nothing special to it. I'm sure plenty of people have that opinion, but plenty of people also DON'T have that opinion. For me, it's an extremely relatable and unique work, and I get more out of it with every watch. I seethe at the thought of people who haven't even watched all of the first episode, let alone to completion when they call it an "Off-brand K-On" or "On-brand Love Live", or say it "falls flat on it's face". And I'm just made sad by the people who did watch it all the way through and weren't able to connect with it the way I did. And what pains me the most is how many people will judge it without ever giving it a chance, or go into it without a clear head, wanting to be proven in their assumptions that it's "Just a knock off K-On".

Seeing Yama no Susume's 3rd season recently, I have to say the 'friendship' and character growth part of the series is also excellent, especially how conflicts between Aoi and Hinata play out and how both of these contrasting characters think and developed over the course of the series (though I guess Hinata didn't change that much). Yuru Camp on the other hand, besides its fantastic portrayal and acceptance of introvertism and outrovertism, just has this extremely comfy and relaxing atmosphere, this amusing humor and that kiss-ass soundtrack. Frigging brilliant show. So yeah, both are great shows.

i love both of these anime

I love both. Good story and nice ost

I love both

M:tG analogies. ❤️

no, they are both great

Yama no Susume is my fav

Ok, this just sells it. Have to raise patreon to 15. Magic and Yuru camp is the best (and apparently I now have to watch YnS as well)

Hey, man, ever heard of hatebear decks? You absolutely needs to throw in a vanilla 2/2 bear for maximum disrespect.

Oh hey Kamimashita. So, I'm not gonna lie... I wasn't expecting to find your video when I was looking for YamaSusu sakuga clips. Well anyway, I watched like...a minute and a half of this video, so idk what comes after that. I just heard you be like " Neither show is strictly better than the other" and was like "Well sure....obviously?". Anyway, a simple point I suppose. Lemme know if you wanna rewatch YamaSusu with me sometime. I'm always down.

I feel like sometimes you need a spoiler warning in your videos xD Rin never joining the club would have been a major spoiler for me ;)

0:43 That's not a bad idea for these two shows. Some of the anime I enjoyed the most were probably more enjoyable because I didn't know what I was getting into. Madoka Magica looked like something in which Madoka would overcome a few normal challenges after becoming a Mahou Shoujo. Made in Abyss's cover art made it look like an anime aimed at kids. I somehow went into Kemono Friends thinking that this would be about some animal-girls helping a lost human girl find her parents in an otherwise ordinary safari park, and that it was also just for kids (and sure, it is actually suitable for kids).

what is that website? 0:00

I mean, no. Both are different. So... Also, the side characters of Yuru Camp are some of my favorite characters.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like yuru camp (Laid-back camp) could've continued a few seasons longer

Unless you are watching YnS on crunchyroll and S2 is MISSING

guess i will have to watch YnS now ey

Why the Delta in the title of the video? Is something changing?

Why compare tho??

I'd say Yuru Camp is objectively better. Better pacing, better characters, and it has more respect people's boundaries. But I still persobally enjoy Yama no Susume more because I am more attracted to mountain hiking than winter camping. So even if one show is objectively better, it may not be more enjoyable since that's mostly subjective

Uhm, i feel a slight discomfort with someone talking to me about Magic cards while i try to get my Magic:Arena draft deck into a managable state. :/

Δ

Damn that title is Hella baiting

I camp alone because none of my "friends" wants to camp

Yuru camp has a better op

No

hm.. yuru camp win

no.

No bruh dont compare Yuru Camp with an anime has more season. Compare Yuru Camp with S2 and Movie and the Yama no Susume

"sufficiently different enough" literally ruined, disliked unsubbed 0/10

I really liked both shows, but I definitely favor Yuru Camp and I have to be honest on one matter: I found Aoi and Hinata's fighting every two episodes and bickering over nothing extremely annoying and useless. Far from finding it useful for character development, the impression that they give me is that they can just barely stand each other and are only "forced" to stick together in this endless loop of petty remarks (real or made up in their own minds) and fights because of the "childhood friends" stuff. As far as chemistry between an indoors introvert and an outdoors extrovert goes, I think that the girls from Houkago Teibou Nisshi are far more likable and better matched.

Yama no Susume to much Yuri vibe for me, if only they focusing to hikking knowlegde more than focusing to yuri vibe maybe they will be better eventhough wont surpase Yuru camp in every level, yuru camp is more tiddy every single episode done with perfectly, soundtrack is masterpiece, art not really outstanding but unique in other way and make mo more nostalgia because as former hikking and camping, only yuru camp made me feel nostalgia, not for yama no susume because too much Yuri vibe

Yama no Susumes character designs are too generic imo, Yuru Camps are much better

No
