Yuru Yuri S1 Ep. 1 - Middle School Debut!

With its first season premiered in Fall 2011 season, Yuru Yuri has earned some loyal fans. Now, with the premiere of the 3rd season, and having the first on my watchlist for some time, I finally decided to give it a try. After all, I need something easy and relaxing to watch during breakfast.

Based on the slice-of-life manga by Namori, Yuru Yuri is an eccentric comedy about a group of girls who spend their spare time drinking tea and fawning over each other, all while completely failing to even notice the supposed main character Akari amongst them.
On this first episode, we get to know the 4 main characters. Akari Akaza (the main character) decides to join the Amusement Club alongside her friends Kyōko Toshinō and Yui Funami. Later on, one of Akari's classmates, Chinatsu Yoshikawa, joins the club too.

The episode follows the group as they try to decide what to do with their time on the Amusement Club. That's because this club doesn't involve any particular activity. So, they end up trying to improve Akari's presence, because as they say, she doesn't have any presence at all, and people barely notice her.

Well... At least she is special.

I enjoyed this episode, and I'll watch the rest of the season, on the days I don't have any anime of the new season to watch. It's relaxing, easy to watch, but also entertaining and fun, having enough bits of comedy to make my day have a good start.

Rating: 4 stars
