The Engrish is making me cringe a little, but I still really want that first T-shirt. It looks so badass. Laughing

#hailcorporate but seriously. I like the idea of his anime but A LOT of it was just way too slow...and slice of life is my favorite genre. Needed funnier comedy to mix in

I really sympathize with the "regular" campers feeling invaded. I imagine a lot of them will just wait till next year and hope the buzz has died down by then.

Part of the joy of solo camping is being relatively alone, and that makes braving the cold worth it. One thing I really hated about living in SoCal was that it was a 4-5 hour drive just to get out of the traffic and housing developments and into wilderness on the weekend, but by the time you got there, everyone else was already there, so you still had to put up with people, most of whom were not there to camp but to bring the city and all its comforts and noise with them. I don't know why they bothered, except for the feeling of having a bigger back yard to party in.

I would wear that windbreaker. Smile

It's really ironic considering how Yuru Camp celebrates the joys of going solo yet this lead to an influx of all these otaku going to these campgrounds which makes it kind of difficult going solo without bumping into the other otaku.

Yurucamp doesn't just promote solo camping.

And also, I would even consider the idea of placing that scooter on my wishlist.

While I'm not fond of the news of Otaku making a ruckus, but this a nice boon for the local businesses. Hopefully, this will become genuine activity than just another fad.

I thought the comedy was good. It's been a long time since an anime made me laugh. Especially with Episode 11. Smile

I'd rather get a real carabiner for $6 than $10 "carabiner" key ring.

Design on Brown color T-shirt look nice though
