You must find the peculiarity of Chinatsu's fantasies and drawings as funny for this special to be entertaining to you. This works for me, as Chinatsu's tendencies are just part of the hilarity that are the characters of Yuru Yuri, so I find this little supplement a fine addition to the Yuru Yuri videos; for some it simply does not. This special just essentially extends the joke about the contrast between how she draws and just about everything else about her (e.g. fantasies, outward attitude). The entertaining aspect of this special is not so much [Chinatsu's] story or [Chinatsu's] characters, but the elaboration of the jokeitself, which is just fine (Fine = 6).
"Chinatsu's horrendous and atrocious drawings come to life in a tale about a handsome prince, a hideous girl and true love!" yup Story: 5 - chinatsu is scary Art: 8 - ITS HORRIFYING but its good Sound: 8 - i guess the music is good i dont really remember it i only watched it once or twice the first time a year ago Character: 1 - chinatsu does not understand her friends Enjoyment: 10 - it was hard to find and in low quality but i was happy to watch it at all Overall: 7 - i dont know how overall is any different from enjoyment but it is
This.. is beautiful in its own way.. Story: 6 Remember that one episode where the Amusement Club learned about Chinatsu's artistic flair through her illustrated fanfiction? Yeah. Here's the extended version. Nothing to it really, not exciting or funny (in a traditional sense). I mean, if you like Chinatsu's fantasies, then by all means. Art: ... Sound: 7 The voice was steady, not aggravating, and the acapella sound effects were funny. The music is the same one that seems overused in the original show. Nothing special at all.Character: 5 I was expecting a reaction out of Retorting Dwarf- I mean, tsukkomi- I mean, Yui. Or at least, a reaction from someone. Turns out it's literally just Chinatsu's story, uninterrupted and without commentary. Doesn't say much about characters, except it unnecessarily stresses the delusions of Chinatsu's "senpai" obsession. Enjoyment: 4 It was.. okay.. I guess it was worth 3 minutes.. Overall: 5 With most specials, you get funny scenes or downright out-of-character characters, but this was just an unabridged version of a moment in the original episode. Just add a couple more horrific drawings and that's Yuru Yuri's special.
My first time writing a review on MAL. I have never felt this urge to write a review until after watching this special episode of Yuru Yuri. It's that good! I'll keep it simple. Story : 10/10 Chinatsu. Art : 69/10 Out of this world. Sound : 10/10Character : 999/6 Development of characters done very well. Good job Chinatsu. Enjoyment : orgasm/10 Totally enjoyed it. Overall : Chinatsu/10 Wow. I think this special episode surpasses the main series in too many ways to list them all here. It shows how masterful of a storyteller Chinatsu is. Her storytelling prowess is second to none. It brought a tear to my eye, and by the end of the episode, I was bawling my eyes out at how beautiful it was.
Running jokes in slice of life anime are a difficult balancing act. Comedy can be repetitive if it's consistency is part of the humor. Like, "oh you're incorrigible." But when you are this repetitive you run the risk of growing stale very quickly. If you're going for the repetitive angle you need to keep it fresh through escalation or new situations reacted to in the same way. Basically all this is to say that I'm really sick of the joke already with Chinatsu's drawings. It was funny like one time. It just isn't one of those jokes I felt needed to be done more than once.This special is nothing but that though so it gets a solid 6/10 nightmare fuels
