| I was confused from seeing these comments, but finally I figured out that this thing first came out in theaters on November 29, 2014 and then was released on Blu-ray and DVD today (Tokyo time), February 18th, 2015. I have always been a huge fan of Yuru Yuri all along. So I was extremely surprised to see all of the experimentation that went on. Normally, an OVA just gets put together as a routine project. If anything, the animation will be worse that the TV series. In this case, they attempted some fascinating things with the lighting, trying to capture the feeling of a hot summer day. I am not saying that the result was flawless. But they demonstrated to me that impressionistic effects of lighting and camera angle could work for Cute Girls Doing Cute Things. I am guessing that it costs a lot more to do it this way. Also, this was supposedly a cinematic release. So people who physically travel to a movie theater probably hope for something a bit extra special. It was so funny that they had that part in the very beginning where they were all speaking English wish subtitles in Japanese. Let's hope for the subs (in English) soon. @Sparvid: Thank you very much for posting that detailed summary. The phrase "light Yuri" is a perfectly good way of describing this. However, there is a phrase "Secondary-element Yuri" which is a category of the Yuri genre of broadcast TV anime series, OVAs, manga and novels. The other kind of Yuri is called "Central-element Yuri". Here is a Wikipedia article that explains it well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_%28genre%29 This is also an excellent example of "Cute Girls Doing Cute Thing". This is a specific and well-defined genre. In Yuru Yuri, all of the girls are cute and all of the things that they do are cute. In fact, Yuru Yuri could be argued to be the first historical example of a CGDCT broadcast TV series which was truly 100% CGDCT. In older CGDCT, there was usually a male character or two, or a non-cute female character, or some mixture of non-cute activity. Then, subsequent to Yuru Yuri, there was quite a spate of 100% CGDCT series such as Joshiraku, Yuyushiki, Kitakubu, Tesagure Bukatsumono, Sakura Trick and more recently Girl Friend Beta. Prior to Yuru Yuri, I think that people who produced anime series expected that a series would not be interesting enough without having a male character around to mess things up. |

| Felt great to come back to these characters. Had been such a long time since the second season ;) I very much recommend watching this if you liked the TV series! |
 |
| With the ova, we review all the things about the series, Dat beginning...what's the point to make those style parody!? Some secondary characters don't get so much screen time, but everyone do show up... |

| just finished it, some guy posted the subs on /a/ fun OVA tbh, the girls are still so freaking cute <3 Kyouko and Ayano moments :3 |
| Yuru Yuri still enjoyable as always. 9/10. Brought back great memories of the first season and second season. Third season where? |

| That intro before opening got me so hard... |
 |
| ...that feel when it's likely this will be the last ever yuru yuri episode... |
 |
| The first two seasons contained stuff from Volume 1-8. The OVA also contained some Chapters. The Manga is now at Volume 12 or 13 so it´s just enough for another season. If the OVA sells well it might not that unlikely. |
|
| That was brilliant. I've missed this show so much Season 3 when? :> |
  |
| Even the introduction had me in tears. The art was adorable and I really hope they'll be back again. |
 |
| Damn I missed Akarin so much, how precious can someone be? |
 |
| Well this was just as fantastic as the shows. Season 3 when? |
| DAT start! I'm laughing too hard xD Good Engrish, here! I missed them so much, hoping that there'll be more. Need Season 3!!! Ayano x Kyoko moments :3 They were holding hands also :3 |
 |
| 1 hour long! First half was a little slow, but the latter one with them camping was hilarious. Shame that the the other members of the family didn't go, that would be even more fun. Also I loved the OP music. |
| That opening scene :O Would watch a season with that animation ;)  Not as hyper as the anime series but a relaxing ep. I liked it :) 9/10 |

| Great opening XD |
 |
| That opening was funny. Hope to see another season of this. |
 |
| Oh that OVA was so funny, I enjoyed it from start to finish. The opening was hilarious, I laughed so hard XD. Ayano x Kyouko and Sakurako x Himawari moments~ *w* Hope third season will come asap. |
| Holy Madoka! The Yuri is strong here! My Anime List  |
Lmao, this is gold 1 hour of amusing Yuri Yuri! |
 |
| Best.. OVA.. ever. |
 |
| Totally worth it. |
| Haha that was hilarious! Really worth the wait. |
 |
| It was good, but I kinda expected more out of it. |
 |
| Totally worth the wait, great comedy as ever! Akari is so adorable!! The studio change wasn't as bad as I was expecting which is nice, although comparing it to the blu-ray's of the TV series the OVA looks a little darker which hurts the "brighter" feel of the show IMO. |

| The bus driver was a guy. That's the first male I remember seeing in YrYr. |
 |
The movie a good reminder of a wonderful series. I wish there were puns around Akarin like the TV series did. |
 |
| Lets be honest here, that intro was godly The quality was amazing on this, really loved seeing the girls again :D |
 |
| - SUGIURA AYANO! - Toshino Kyoko?! My life is complete When is my season 3 coming!! I've just recently re-watched season 1 and 2 so it didn't feel like it was a long time ago but watching this OVA makes me want to watch them again every week. Dem Engrish though.. it was more than enough to make up for the lack of usual "Akariiin" title-call. |
 |
| So great to have this show back, even for just one epeisode. i had so much fun watching the gang. hope we get a third season. |
| So good! Kyouko/Ayano and Sakurako/Himawari moments were so cute, also it was really cute to see them all dressed with those cute pajamas! I hope we get a 3rd season soon! 8/10 |
 |
| So precious. |
| That was awesome! It was so satisfying, yet left me wanting a new season. Or another movie.... |
| awww! I loved it so much <3 they're all so sweet, I might need to watch yuru yuri again even |
 |
| Ah, I forgot how relaxing and occasionally funny this is. Now I want a third season. |
 |
| It was so cute, warm and summery... if it was released like one month earlier, when it was still winter here, it would've been perfect. All the girl looked (that might just be my imagination) and sounded quite older, but they were all so pretty. Dat engrish though, with the Japanese pronunciation, I heard "We almost riddled you with breads", which made for a hilarious image :D |
| Had a whole feature movie vibe to it, a little less wacky (a little) but had some feels going on. Just the whole thing was ace, I had to stop every 3 minutes to make a note so I go back and make a gif out of something lovable <3 I ended up biting the bullet and just used the Lazy Lilly subs which were great. Season 3 pls/10 |
 |
| Ahhh season 3 when? This felt more like a traditional SoL than a regular YY episode, but still enjoyed it. Sakurako best girl for sure. |
I don't watch as much anime as before... |
