Synopsis

Aoi Yukimura and her friends decide to take on a new challenge: indoor rock climbing! However, the sight of the wall flusters Aoi, who frets over its height and complexity. Fortunately, Kaede Saitou is there to explain the rules of indoor climbing, inspiring the girls to give it a try themselves. Though the wall may seem intimidating and insurmountable, Aoi finds that with a little help from her friends, she may be able to overcome this challenge. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Mixed Feelings

This is just another short episode for the show, and a good one at that - right up until the end. There's nothing wrong with the plot, I think the episode as a whole was the best from the whole show - except for one scene. Non-plot Spoiler: They decided we need a shower scene at the end, there was nothing of the sort in the original 12 episodes, and no fanservice right up until this point. I don't mind fanservice, but this felt very weird considering what the show was about. Sure, showers take place every day, but there was no reason for the final scene inthis cute short series to include one. If you think fanservice of your cute girls would somehow ruin the experience for you, just stop watching as it begins - since no final message or moral was conveyed that was not portrayed earlier in this episode. ---------- Generally I felt this episode could have been a 7, except for the fanservice shoved in your face bit.

This special is a little longer than the episodes from the first season for a simple reason: it's a perfectly normal episode followed by a minute or so of fanservice. Though being surely an unusual move for Yama no Susume to have fanservice, since it's completely absent for the whole first season, I didn't feel like it was awkward or forced, especially considering its mildness: in fact, given that there were no panty shots, no boob-grabbing, etc... but a very simple girl's locker room that followed quite naturally the events of the first three minutes, I think I wouldn't have even noticed it if it weren'tfor the nature of the rest of the show which was absolutely free from these nods to the fanbase up to this point. Anyway the rest of the episode is really enjoyable, as much as the other ones, and unless you are very prudish or very easily embarrassed in anime you will certainly be able to witness the end of this special without any problem.
