English Dub Review: Laid Back Camp “The Food Porn Begins!!”

Overview

After Nadeshiko returns from the Oigawa trip, the other Outclub girls recount for her (somewhat dubiously) a spontaneous bus-based camping trip they took while she, Rin, and Ayano were away…

Our Take

This time around, part 2 of the outdoor club’s bizarre adventure lived up to its title with a flurry of cooking scenes, making viewers crave the delicious dishes the girls were preparing. Chiaki’s humorous reactions to the evolving pizza, which transformed into okonomiyaki, stood out, showcasing her amusingly expressive nature. The episode also hinted at an upcoming cherry blossom camping trip, raising expectations for more beautiful spring scenery and exciting adventures.

The plot took a more comical turn when the girls missed their bus, allowing them to experience the natural beauty of the mountains on foot. The camping trip included classic elements like nighttime camping and self-sufficient cooking. Despite some questionable food choices, such as the odd “asparagus and mayonnaise pizza”, the atmosphere was enhanced by the stunning landscapes and the camaraderie among the characters.

Overall, this episode offered a delightful mix of humor, beautiful scenery, and delicious-looking food. Chiaki’s comedic moments, the engaging camping adventures, and the addition of Toba Sensei added depth and entertainment value. As the series progresses, the promise of springtime camping and the evolving dynamics among the side characters. And with the way that cliffhanger ended, It leaves me looking forward to more antics from the girls in later storylines.
