Yuru Yuri Season Two episode 10

4 posts in one day! GO ME!!!!! I should celebrate with pizza and ice cream!...But I ate early today for some reason. I was confused because I was being productive while the sun was out. So…maybe I will get hungry later and celebrate again? XD Or I could go all out and look up the Fall 2012 Anime List and see what I am going to be behind on in a few weeks?! Go me!

I rather have a festival of sugar. :(

So my 4th post of the night…Yuru Yuri Season Two episode 10 time! Spoilers for Sakurako being super annoying as always.

Oh look Akari is being tortured again.

Episode Summary: The younger girls are sad to learn the older girls are going on a school trip to Kyoko. Yui sits next to Kyoko on the bus and worries about the special items she has packed (are they exploring a cave)? Sakurako grows jealous the older girls have gone on a trip, saying they never do anything fun. Himawari gets roped into going on an adventure but since neither have any money they decide to just walk until they find something interesting. Sakurako surprises Himawari with a homemade snack but it turns out to be crap. They keep on walking until they end up in the woods. They worry that a bear might come and eat them so they discuss different strategies in beating a bear. Sakurako points out that she has no idea where they are right now and Himawari panics. They find a random park bench to sit on and Himawari goes to call for help when she notices Sakurako has fallen asleep. Suddenly Akari pokes her head out and tells the girls they are in the woods behind the school. Yay for rescue! Kyoko and the girls have brief adventures in Kyoko which strangely look like the adventures they had last season. Kyoko seems to the most memories of the past trip, remembering the hotel and places they have visited.

Oh look Himawari and Sakurako are fighting again.

Chinatsu is not doing so well with Yui being gone. She starts worrying she is not worthy of Yui’s love so Akari starts listing all of Chinatsu’s good qualities, blushing while she does so. Chinatsu and her Yui picture loving self is so grateful for Akari’s help she offers to do anything for the girl. Akari is very nervous to take anything from Chinatsu, especially after seeing the scary letter Chinatsu wrote Yui so she settles for laying in Chinatsu’s lap. Chinatsu decides this is not enough and wants to give Akari a massage. Akari ends up tickled and dead on the floor. Himawari goes over to visit Sakurako despite the fact they always say they are not friends. Sakurako’s sister answers the door and offers Himawari a seat and a drink. The sister then gets on the phone and has a very interesting conversation with her friend about spending the night. Himawari thinks the worst/best. Sakurako arrives home to find all her orange juice drunk by Himawari and demands the girl does her homework as compensation. The girls bicker the entire time they are doing homework which makes the sister think back to when they were younger. Chibi Himawari and Sakurako were filling out a marriage form with the sister helping. It is decided both girls will be the wife while Himawari makes sweets and Sakurako eats them while being the Lord. The sister muses that they used to be such good friends…The older girls return from their trip with the exact same gifts as last time. Himawari and Sakurako are still trying to kill each other while Akari has been murdered by Akari. THE END!!!

Ah yes. This show is super special. But at least it is so special that it recognizes that fact and actually mentions it. Not many shows do that do they? Or if they do…well I am not talking about them now am I? XD

This all seems familiar....

What I am mainly talking about is how the show recognizes and mentions that the girls are still in the same grade and the older girls went on the same trip as last season. Because we can’t have the girls graduating or studying for entrance exams. Nope we must keep the money train going that is Yuru Yuri and to do that everyone must be in the same school. If that means everything repeats itself so be it. But at least the writers had fun with it. Interesting that Kyoko was the one who remembered most of the events while everyone else was like what, no we have never been here before.

We'll just have our own adventures! In walking distance of course....

So while it would have been fun for the girls to walk around Kyoko and for me to go MOG I HAVE BEEN THERE….well we have already been there with the show. Now it is the younger girl’s turn. We got to check out what they are doing while the other girls are repeating their super fun trip. XD Just hope they managed to have fun even though Kyoko didn’t have a backpack full of snacks. XD

I WANT TO DO SOMETHING NOOOOOOW!

Sakurako being bored is understandable. I wouldn’t want half of my friends on a fun trip when I am left at home being bored. But of course if I was that bored I would try to find something to do. I don’t think walking aimlessly is very much fun. I am trying to think what one could do with no money but everything is escaping me at the moment. Still I rather watch TV than walk around my neighborhood. Of course I don’t live in Japan and my neighborhood is boring.

Please accept this rock as a token of our friendship.

Sakurako and Himawari seem to be having as much fun as those two can have together. Sakurako at least TRIED to make a snack. It is the thought that counts right? Even if it kills people. XD So be a little more grateful when people give you a present. I do like that Sakurako was finding many ways to describe her dish as…excellent even though it was crap. XD

In nature. With caterpillars. RUN!!!!

Getting lost so close to home is special. Also again with the cellphones. If you are in danger why wouldn’t you reach for them first?! I might worry about bears too if I was in an area that was near bears. But I think I would have run all the way home if a caterpillar was on my foot. I just would have taken off and never looked back. No caterpillars for this girl! Thanks for saving the day Akari. Now get rid of all the caterpillars in the woods!

Not a way to treat your prized possessions.

Akari and Chinatsu… well we all know that Chinatsu is special and was probably melting on the floor at the thought of her lovely Yui being gone. That bag of Yui’s pictures was a bit disturbing. And sad. All of those pictures should have been put properly in scrapbooks or all over her ceiling like a psychopath. Not just in a paper bag like she doesn’t care about them. Oh and that letter to Yui was insane. Not that the letter would have gotten to Yui in time anyway but the whole special stationary….was special. Maybe Akari ripped it up.

I was scared for half a second. Then Chinatsu was Chinatsu and all was okay in the world.

I really thought that another crush was in the works. Like oh snap how many pairings can this show have?! When Akari was listing all the positive attributes she started to blush a little bit. Like oh snap there are good things about Chinatsu? That she might be someone worth liking? Chinatsu started to smile and things got all sparkly. But then Akari was reminded that Chinatsu is insane. What with the head in the lap thing and massages. Just…just no. Akari decided that Chinatsu, the girl who took her first kiss, was not a good crush. Good call Akari. Better to be ignored than with her I say. XD

Maybe this is the future and there are no more menz!

After some antics in Kyoko it is back to Sakurako and Himawari. Oh look more girls like other girls. I am not sure what was up with Sakurako’s sister. Is that going to be a plot point later? If so…there won’t be much time for it. X___X It just seemed to make Himawari lose her mind a bit. I wonder if it was Chinatsu’s sister…but she seems too old to fit the role. Either way….poor Himawari. XD

Why don't you just...go home?

While Himawari and Sakurako have a crush on each other sometimes it is hard to understand why they are friends. Especially on Himawari’s end. She is always doing Sakurako’s homework and being called the boobie monster and generally being made fun of. Sakurako seems to get a lot in this relationship. XD The fun times are not many with this pairing so it just makes me wonder why they bother.

MOG! Someone needs a hug!

But they were super cute when they were kids! Trying to fill out the marriage form and Sakurako actually being nice and allowing both of them to be the wife. XD Sakurako had grand plans didn’t she? Well I guess being Lord might pay good. Maybe she should be the husband. Himawari making treats. Just very sweet. Can’t they be more like that instead of having a crush on each other and trying to kill each other all the time? XD

Akari wants to take a trip away from Chinatsu.

With the older girls arriving back home and handing out sword presents this episode comes to an end. Akari is probably dead, Himawari and Sakurako still hate each other, and Chinatsu is happy. Sometimes I wish I could blast Chinatsu off the face of the planet. Until next time! XD
