English Dub Review Laid Back Camp “Caribou-kun and Lake Yamanaka”

Overview

Chiaki, Aoi, and Ena buy new camping gear, and they set out to go camping at Lake Yamanaka…

Our Take

This time around, The girls of the Outdoor Activities Club, including Aoi, Chiaki, and Ena, finally have an episode dedicated to their adventures as they embark on a camping trip to Lake Yamanaka. However, Rin and Nadeshiko are unable to join them due to their respective commitments. Despite their absence, the trip promises a refreshing change of pace for the group, and Ena’s thoughtful gesture of providing a personalized tent for her dog, Chikuwa, adds a charming touch to their “outing.”

Although the episode may lack standout moments, the exploration of new environments and the girls’ interactions with each other bring a sense of beauty and wonder to the narrative. From hugging a “Carabou” statue to enjoying a relaxing soak in an onsen, each experience contributes to the overall enjoyment of the trip.

Overall, the episode successfully captured the essence of outdoor exploration and friendship, offering a mix of lighthearted fun and wholesome moments. The visuals and soundtrack further enhance the episode’s appeal, while the post-credits scene adds a humorous touch with its Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure reference. With each episode offering something new and enjoyable, leaving me curious at what direction the series could take next!
