The hugely popular anime "Laid-Back Camp△" has been much talked about for its cute atmosphere. It also garnered attention for sparking a camping boom. Have you heard of "Heya Camp△," a mini-corner that aired after the main story of "Laid-Back Camp△"? It mainly features three members of an outdoor activities club having relaxed conversations, but this segment is even more laid-back than the main story and was incredibly popular. Starting in January 2020, "Heya Camp△" will be broadcast as a standalone short anime, and there's a lot of excitement building. So, what exactly is "Heya Camp△" about? In this article, we'll introduce the content of "Heya Camp△," which was recorded after the main story of "Laid-Back Camp△."
Content 1☆ The cute "Outdoor Club" members will make you feel warm and fuzzy!
The series mainly depicts the members of the "Outdoor Activities Club," or "No-Kuru" for short, having fun, sometimes relaxing and sometimes being lively. The dialogue is laid-back and very cute. The three No-Kuru members' personalities are overflowing, making it a heartwarming experience to watch.
Outdoor Club Captain Ogaki Chiaki
She's a lively girl with short bangs, long tied-up hair, and glasses, her trademarks. She's the captain of the Outdoor Club. As you'd expect from a captain, she gives off a pretty reliable impression, but she can also be quite absent-minded. She sometimes gives people strange nicknames.
Nadeshiko Kagamihara, Member of the Outdoor Club
Nadeshiko is one of the two main protagonists of this series. She is a girl with long pink hair and a cute smile. She is very curious and is often compared to a dog in the story. On the day she moved to Shizuoka, she went for a bike ride to see Mt. Fuji, got tired, fell asleep, and was unable to get home. While she was in trouble, she met Rin Shima, and from there she became interested in camping.
Yurukyan Club Member: Aoi Inuyama
Next up is Aoi Inuyama, a long-time member of the club. Aoi is characterized by her thick eyebrows and fluffy, wavy hair. She speaks in a dialect resembling Kansai. She has a laid-back personality and is easygoing. However, she might be the only member with common sense.
Content 2☆ The members' fantasies expand!
One of the charms of "Heya Camp△" is how the club members' fantasies keep expanding. When Aoi and Chiaki dream up a tent they wish they had, or when Aoi's lies explode, viewers can't help but chime in.
Let's think of a mascot character!
The members of No-Kuru had been hanging out together, but one day, Chiaki enthusiastically announced, "Let's recruit new members!" Aoi and Nadeshiko were puzzled, as she hadn't shown much enthusiasm for recruiting up until then. However, her reason was simple: "I'm tired of living in a cramped clubroom!" To attract new members, they came up with a plan to create a mascot character to promote No-Kuru. Aoi suggested that a cross between a tent and a Shiba Inu would be a good idea, so she suggested "Tenshiba," a cross between a tent and a Shiba Inu. It's so cute, isn't it? Next, Nadeshiko came up with the idea of "combining a lantern and a cat to create Nyantan." Chiaki then immediately came up with the rather radical idea of "combining an oven and a turkey to create Roasted Whole-Chan." Suddenly, the animal motif was cooked, with Aoi gently commenting, "It's been cooked."
Content 3☆ Rin also appears!
While the main characters are the three members of the Outdoor Club, the other of the two main protagonists, Shima Rin, also occasionally appears in "Yuru Camp△." Rin is not a member of the Outdoor Club and prefers solo camping. However, she seems to get along well with Nadeshiko, and the two have begun to go camping together frequently. Watching the cool Rin gradually open up is one of the joys of "Yuru Camp△."
Nadeshiko reflected in the 3D view
Rin was watching the 3D view at home. She had been using the 3D view to let Nadeshiko know her current location at the campsite, but now she's able to see the area around her house in 3D view as well. To her surprise, Nadeshiko was reflected in the view. Rin was quite surprised.
Rin Gets a Crazy Hairstyle
Rin's friend, Ena Saito, is a cute girl with short hair. She has a Chihuahua and often spends her days sleeping late and relaxing. Her hobby is playing with Rin's long hair, creating all kinds of hairstyles. She's got dexterity. One day, Ena discovers Rin dozing off in the library. As usual, she tries to style Rin's hair. However, perhaps finding it boring, Ena begins styling it with incredible skill. Ena had already left before Rin woke up, so she got up and left the library without noticing that her hair had been styled. However, Rin's hairstyle was shaped like a castle (!), attracting the attention of everyone she passed in the hallway.
