| The Astronomy Club's alumnus Yui Shiromaru is officially introduced! Nakami and Magari fill out their official club applications, and Nakami becomes president due to Magari being in the swimming club. Though with Kurashiki-sensei, the only record is with the alumni Yui Shiromaru winning a competition, and nothing more. Sending the both of them to Wakura-onsen to find the almunus in an area that is hard to locate, it's only when they pass this discreet building that houses an arcade inside, that they find the said manager girl. Her house of a container and her cat Rollo, it's filled with camera, cinematic photos...and her bra of all things lols. The only member left after her seniors left Kuyo High, she has the observatory all to herself, and helps Nakami to finetune his photography skills, because his skills depend on Yui teaching them, only at nighttime to get the best pictures through adjustments of the focus from ISO to the F-stop a.k.a. aperture. At least Yui will come back to school and see them, so all's good. A day aft her swimming club, and Magari comes to the meeting to discuss about plans for the club. An observatory viewing party would be nice, but despite being loners themselves, they're willing to do it. Also, the upcoming photograph contest would pay dividends thanks to Yui also teaching them the ropes, but they'll have to do it regardless, and in the process, have fun from their sleeplessness to capture some great photos. Rollo following Yui to the Nanao Castle ruins to take night photo-esque shots, glad to see the skill in her, and like Yuru Camp, camp outside while documenting her night. The pressure of Yui wanting to send a photo, and Rollo helps her send a photo late in the night, and it's a gaze for the eyes for the night owl insomniacs. Such a good time to take photos, in the dead of night. |

| While not something one thinks on a regular basis, i must say that the astrology club truly is the best place to be for those suffering from insomnia ... while a hard place for those who kinda just want to slack off during night, lol ... But still, our mains are taking their applications seriously (or they are forced to if they want to stay, lol), visiting a former astrology club member, getting some help, advice and focus, but also, a new friend :) |
 |
| okay, now we have some Yuru Camp here). and more cats :3 |
| To err is human. To purr is feline (c) |
Man, as a night lover and a photographer (not as a pro, ofc xD) this anime is really feeding my interests. |
 |
| It's nice to Nakami and Magari working so well together and the pictures that Yui Senpai took was just amazing |

何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Phew... I was finally able to find time to watch today's episode cuz of my personal stuff. Aside from that, an amazing episode. Shiromaru is such an adorable Senpai and she's such a nice person. She's helping both my idiots with the Club. Nakami is still learning how to handle Cameras. Another chill episode with Shiromaru being the main focus of today's episode. Can't wait to see more of her. Nakami will be preparing for the competition even tho he's a newbie. |
 |
| really great episode.. The astronomy club is required to compete in a photography contest.to get financed. .. i liked there are more cute cats. One of the few anime this season that shows a pure passion towards a hobby. |
 |
| This is quite a relaxing anime so far, and seeing Nakami and Magari, along with the senpai introduced this episode in Yui Shiromaru, pursuing their hobbies with such passion is pretty nice to see. I did find some of the facts around photography to be quite interesting as well, and I hope Nakami can get the hang of it for the club and for the upcoming competition. Some of the nighttime shots that they took in the episode were quite stunning, and for any photographers out there watching this show, it must be have been quite awesome to look at. I will say, however, that I feel like the nighttime atmosphere could be even better, but what we have got so far in this show has not been bad at all. I hope the show can get a little more engaging though later on though, with more photography taking place. |
| This threw me back to Koisuru Asteroid, love the astronomy, i love this show. |
| Yui is a great addition, especially when it comes to night itself, she really expected them to sleep at that time xD But taking photos will be easier now and the club has scheduled activities already |
 |
| I wondered where they are going to take this plot line. Not a bad direction I thing. It's peaceful and wholesome while not being over the top. Breath of fresh air. |
| see, its perfectly possible to create a story, a very good one at that, that involves japanese high schoolers that aren't totaly emotionaly and socialy handicaped. I'm enjoying this immensely and yuru camp throwback is just a cherry on top of already delicious cake. You need cup ramen for those solo camps tho ;) |
| Isaki & Ganta officially are filling out their club applications. Ganta is now officially the club leader of the Astronomy Club. Yui hears them talking about the Astronomy Club in the hallway and he is awed by it. Isaki & Ganta go to find some help but they get lost in the way lol, but they finally find the building they're looking for and its an arcade and Yui works there as well, they are trying to get help from Yui for the club. Yui cooks some food first and then she decides to help them out with the club since she was the only one left in the previous years. Yui explains to Ganta how the camera works, from lighting to resolution and a lot more to take some sharper photos of the starry sky. Isaki is still part of the swimming club and she trains hard but then gets tired and wants to go to the observatory but there she comes across Ganta & Yui, even the teacher is there. The teacher is giving Ganta an form for an competition but Ganta feels like he's not ready but Yui says that he's ready so yeah. It's nice that Yui brought some stuff, like a tent and whatnot. It was a nice shot in the episode to see Isaki & Ganta walk together under the starry sky. Yui is closing the shop for the night and packs in her stuff but her cat won't let her go so she takes the cat with her, she sets up her equipment and gets ready for the shots while making delicious pancakes for herself, she's happy that she took so many shots and that they turned out great for her. Yui is nervous to send the photo from what she took with her camera and the cat comes helping by moving her hand to the send button and she sends the image and Isaki & Ganta are amazed by it, which makes Yui happy.  |

| Don't know but the way senpai sounded kinda surprised me lol. I didn't expect a voice this deep. Though anyways to stay, they need the results, and so meteor shower assignment is the target. But before that there's plenty to learn about photography, and Nakami will, through many means. |
 |
| Since no one has said it, if not for confirmation I would have thought Shiromaru senpai would have had that whole "androgynous" look going on. |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| ISO 5000? Lolwut? Even on full frame camera it wouldn't be a good idea to set the ISO so high. Especially that his lens is able to do f2.8 and set the shutter speed to 20s. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Wasn't expecting Shiromaru to have such a deep voice... or to be older than our main duo. Really caught me off guard. Great episode. Lots of Yuru Camp/Koisuru Asteroid vibes here and there. |
| Very comfy, good, I enjoy this show. |
| Still not sure how to feel about this show. It tries to do plenty of stuff other shows have done before with more accent, but in here it just feels like a watered down version. Not particularly interested in any of the characters so far (I was hoping that a 3rd main character would make me interested, but it really didn't) |
| well this episode was more about building up the astronomy club instead of them sleeping, makes sense. don't know if it'll stay this way always. liked the food scenes though and the night does hit different. |
 |
| This is sooooooo Yuru Camp. Amazing. |
| I really liked Yui Shiromaru from the manga so glad to see her personality carry over here in the anime. Another pleasant episode as a whole, lots of information about photography here that Ganta and even Isaki learned through their fellow night owl senpai of theirs. |
| hmm nice arcade they got there... Taiko no Tatsujin, iidx, Gitadora, Chunithm, think I saw SDVX even! cultured rhythm games. good episode. |
| This is slowly getting better I think, but so far I'm not really emotionally invested on it. Well, let's see, I think each episode is slightly better than the other... |
  Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores To clasp the bosom that my soul adores, Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours |
| Wasn’t expecting this to go full SoL on the astronomy but I really like it, I haven’t learned about astronomy from anime since “Asteroid in Love” back in Winter 2020 so it’s nostalgic too. Shiromaru ended up being a really good source of info and now our two person astronomy club has a better idea on how to get good pictures of the stars. I also like the addition of Shiromaru, she’s interesting and I really loved her bit near the end where she was just chilling while getting pictures, as well as enjoying a pancake which made me want a pancake lol. The aspect that she manages an arcade is cool too, I wonder if she’s also a gamer. And I’m ngl I was kinda confused when she said that high schoolers shouldn’t be at the arcade after school, when are they supposed to be at the arcade then, during school? Lol. |
| Man this episode really did it for me. The introduction of Yui-senpai I thought was weird at first but she is the driving point behind the Astronomy club doing multiple activities. It also gives her a chance to experience the Club with members since she was left alone. It hit me hard when she mentioned she never did club activities with others because she was always alone. Along with that we see Ganta taking control of the President role. But where will it go from here? Really looking forward to more. |

| Yuru camp indeed, but this time with some night photography. ISO 5000 might make your shot kind of noisy though. Also I definitely wouldn't mind a buttery pancake cooked in a cast iron skillet right about now. Idk if this was there before, but there's a brief shot of some characters in a hospital in the op. We must be prepared. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Shiromaru-Senpai makes this show twice as good all by herself! She sure is a hillarious introvert. Thanks to her, this episode was much better than the first (too much drama) and the second (too boring). Shiromaru brings in some much needed comedy and her interactions with Nakami finally give him some personality. I'll stick with this show for now, perhaps it does have more to offer than beautiful sceenery. Even though I don't really know how they will replicate the success of this episode yet. It was really just Shiromaru that carried here. But perhaps it can suprise me again. |
