In the Spring-2024
season (April-June) , the third season of the anime adaptation
of “ Yuru Camp ” has
gone practically unnoticed, something that has generated an intense debate
among Japanese fans. This situation has surprised many, given the success of
previous seasons.
Fans have
identified several reasons for this decline in popularity. The most
notable is the long three-year waiting period between the second and third
seasons , which may have cooled audience enthusiasm. Furthermore,
the change of animation studio, from C-Station to 8-Bit studios, has been
pointed out as a crucial factor. Many fans feel that the essence and
visual style of the anime have been affected by this transition, negatively
impacting their enjoyment.
“Yuru
Camp” , also
known as “Laid-Back Camp” , is a franchise that has captured
the hearts of many with its relaxed and comforting approach to camping and
friendship. The story follows a group of girls who enjoy camping in
various scenic locations in Japan, exploring nature and creating stronger bonds
with each other. Its popularity has remained strong thanks to its calm
atmosphere, detailed landscape art and authentic representation of camping
culture.
Despite its
initial success, recent changes have been a blow to the series .
The most loyal fans are still hopeful that the third season will manage to
recapture the magic that made “Yuru Camp” a phenomenon, but they recognize that
the challenge is significant.

understand why this cute story isn't so popular anymore ."

become a program of tourism rather than stories of life, it has become
uninteresting .»

since the second season, it's a miracle the first one was so popular .»
- " Yuru Camp was
very popular in its first season, but the third is extremely boring ."

was already pretty boring, they just kept doing the same thing for this
third ."

helped, the original manga itself also became extremely boring to read ."

Shima takes the lead, I think she is the only redeemable character today .»
- " It is competing
against other much more interesting slice-of-life series this season ."
- " Some of the
characters simply became background, a disappointment ."
- « In the end, when you
turn a manga into an anime, you have to make some changes to the original
work .»
- « What's the problem
with the third season? Not only are the designs and animation looked bad,
but the story itself became uninteresting .
- " If it's boring,
then it's a faithful adaptation of the original manga ."
- " I think 8-Bit is
also airing other series this season, so you can tell that some have more
priority than others ."

season of Yuru Camp and the first, they are really different and I
understand the criticism .»

there any interesting anime with a third season? Most of them become
