English Dub Review: Laid-Back Camp Season 3 OVAs-Episodes 13A-C

Overview

In a nutshell, this is a small series of short animated comedy bits that are each 5-7 minutes long but were supposedly extras for the physical Blu-Ray release of Season 3. Yet Crunchyroll felt the need to release them to the public on their website.

Our Take

“The Outdoor Activities Club”

That inuko, Aki and Nadeshiko start thinking about wacky & random things within their Outdoor activities club. Which wasn’t spectacular, but I was shocked at how much dialogue and substance was crammed within the running time and it kept it short and simple with the laughs.


“Rainy Camping”

Rin goes on her usual solo camping adventures figuring out what to do while raining, in the process it’s as if her inner thoughts are speaking to the audience about what to do when camping in the rain such as finding shit to occupy yourself with. And sometimes you can learn a new skill in the process.

“Rin and Nadeshiko Go Spring Camping and Lake Inaga”

As titled, the two go to a mountain campsite where wacky antics and makeshift tortilla camp meals ensue. It’s possibly the most action-oriented mainly because of Nadeshiko’s antics on a bicycle which gave me a good laugh.


Overall, these were short and simple for what entertainment value they all had. If they wanted to, they could’ve kept it simple and crammed all three of these in one episode, but it at least wasn’t dull and none of the jokes overstayed their welcome.
