English Dub Review: Laid Back Camp “Touring and Checking Out the Cherry Blossoms”

Overview

Rin takes her first solo camp trip in a while, and Nadeshiko takes an impromptu drive with her sister to see the local cherry blossoms while they’re in full bloom.

Our Take

As cherry blossoms bloom, Rin embarks on a solo camping trip to Oyanagawa Gorge, where she enjoys the serene atmosphere despite encountering abandoned trash. She engages in a discussion about camping etiquette with other campers and even helps clean up the site. Meanwhile, Nadeshiko, inspired by a cherry blossom tree near her home, takes a scenic drive with her sister Sakura to enjoy the flowers, adding to the episode’s charm. This is a common festival within Japan, though I have heard that even Washington has festivals like these sometimes.

During the proceedings, Rin’s solo camping trip is marked by moments of solitude and connection, meeting a couple of new campers and sharing experiences. There is also sort of a Nadeshiko-focused side-adventure, as she and her sister Sakura explore various cherry blossom spots.

Overall, this episode helps remind the audience of the joys and simple pleasures and basking in them while also respecting nature. Rin’s solo adventure and Nadeshiko’s cherry blossom viewing trip reflect their individual growth and shared love for the outdoors. The beautiful scenery and the characters’ genuine interactions make this episode a delightful continuation of Yuru Camp’s enchanting journey.
