Mono thread

The Yuru Camps make a return!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

:)

episode starts with animal abuse

what the fuck

achievement unlocked: shill google maps without being asked

RIIIIIINNNNNNNNN CHAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM

oh i've seen this in fate before

female drivers

easily best girl

Her eyebrows are not nearly thick enough to be best girl.

YOOOOO IT'S RIN-CHAN

those kids fucking suck at this game

If you don't own a camera you can't watch mono.

Sorry, anons.

They made a manga about camping in Yamanashi? Damn, sounds boring as shit!

sauce katsudon

I have a camera in my iPhone.

hey remember yuru camp????

This episode was kinda boring

Is this a 1v1 tetris or some shit?

Have you ever caught mono? Shit sucks, I was sick for over a month.

You can get mono from watching mono!?

Isn't that the kissing disease?
Hey everyone, check out this kisser!

I love her so much

they're kids!

i have an iphone, does that count

kinda agree. it really should be about the kids doing dumb shit like in the first half of episode 2, the hags ruin it

*glug glug glug* PUHAAAAAAAAH

perfect anime

I don't care if they're kids, they suck and they need to be called out for it! They need to get good, this shit they're pulling off is a travesty

Can i join the club?

FB_TUMBLR_X_WECHAT_IMG

YES... HA HA YES!!!!!

Does Haru look like a women you'd trust around your underage daughter?

It's interesting because when I saw Haruno's design I imagined Satomi Arai voicing her, but she's voicing her grandma instead.

b-bros??

youtube.com/watch?v=u-m6ZYwcEt8

I like her squid shaped hair so sure

wtf is this true?

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!

I'm not sure whether it's because of the original manga or the adaptation, but I think they went a bit overboard with the shameless pilgrimage and the cameos. Still pretty fun though.

The cameos don't make any sense whatsoever though. They've already established that Yuru Camp is a fictional manga in the monoverse and that the protagonists' houses don't exist, and yet they occasionally make a cameo appearance? What?

If I can't trust my daughter with a NEET, who can I trust her with?

do japanese people really eat their food 0.1 calories at a time or what

NADESHIKO STRONK

I bet your fat ass couldn't even fit through a Japanese door.

she's looking hard as FUCK here

what the fuck are those pink cubes anyway?

Why is this LITERAL HAG trying to act young?

it's called "savoring" food

it's cute

why did they bring a cat on a camping tour

yuru camp!

mid life crisis does that to a person

heya!

I must be the only Shikishimafag in this thread.

Autism isn't cute.

i love her too

The fanservice was literal chibi blobs, you can do better than that c'mon man!

putting the shades on the cat

heh

How does Yuru Camp exist in the Mono as a manga, but the characters from the Yuru Camp appear Mono?
Did Sam Lake write this?

LET'S ENJOY YAMANASHI LIFE

don't think too hard about it

brought to you by Gurguru mappu

you are watching this anime while sitting correctly, right Anon Babble?

pathetic author self insert trying to make herself look cool

It's really cute that they tried to recreate the promo art where Nadeshiko's running to the platform at Nanbu station. Would be nice to get a stitch of this.

That makes us 3

would she retaliate if i suddenly kiss her

When she scraped the wheel on the sidewalk it made me physically cringe. Someone post the webm

i think she'd just stare at you and ask why you did that in a monotone voice

they see your ____

She's probably the easiest girl ever.

let's hold hands

sure

let's hug

sure

let's kiss

sure

let's get married

sure

let's have kids

sure

finish watching mono to find a new hibimeshi episode camping in the rss folder

This is the life.

h...hot imagine picrel is her face after sex

no. she looks like she'd be the easiest of the girls. like all you have to do is be assertive and she'll let you do anything

whats that say, maatari camp?
haru is manga'ing about photo club girls and they are real. clearly yuru camp girls have a mangaka stalker. or maybe one of them travels back in time and writes it in real time.

Yeah this episode was weirdly too meta and a bit.. masturbatory in a way? The mangaka's self-insert and other characters visit locations from her other, more popular manga. I think its an ok concept but for a whole episode it did feel weird

Actually works.

Name their band

chiikawa reference

Perfect woman.

whats that say, maatari camp?

まったりキャンプ

shika

I think it would have been better if her self insert wasn't there. it did feel too masturbatory, especially with her

yuru...

The quality is very inconsistent. Soigne was a mistake

the kiraraverse is the most ambitious crossover in history

ywn be this comfy

They have small mouths

Yeah, it felt extremely meta. I could feel the discussions that the anime producers were having.

we're adapting this manga that references the (then) new anime announcement of the author's other manga, but that manga has had multiple adaptation since then, so should we still keep the same premise?

should we keep the cameo appearances of the characters of the other manga, knowing they don't make sense?

The repeated shillings of the locations that were already shilled to us before didn't help. Also not counting the other meta aspects of the series.

self-insert mangaka who draws what is essentially the manga that she's in

Kofu tourism shilling

why the fuck did this retard think that trying to force kids to pull an allnighter for her was gunna work out well

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
THE LEGENDARY SAUCE KATSUDON

NEETs have very tiny brains.

I hope this was just a one time thing. This meta stuff wasn't interesting.

nice cows

me too, i really enjoyed the first 2 eps but this >DUDE REFERENCE episode sucked in comparison

You're socially obligated to point out cows when you see them while traveling

「ちゅうしよう」

「いいよ」

「もみもみさせて」

「いいよ」

「シコシコして」

「いいよ」

h-hot

Cute dress.

she radiates pure tradwife energy

This shot was interesting, its a PoV shot with a handheld camera shake. It kinda took me out because it was so weirdly different.

autistic girl is the only one not panting

Kek, nice attention to detail.

what if this is secretly a horror anime?

Is this a reference?

Yes.

Mattari Camp is a completely different manga about a girl who goes camping with by cycling, the locations just happen to overlap with Yuru Camp. It's all a big coincidence, emphasized by them showing that the yurus exist in the same universe with the monos.

I didn't like this episode, it was a lot of "look just like in Yuru Camp!" which I also like but that isn't the reason I liked this series. I just want cute girls fucking around and doing stupid shit with cameras.

yea, i picked this up before i knew it was yuru adjacent

There were a lot of good shots this episode, mostly all posted in the thread already. Though the episode itself feels a little too on the nose, especially since the Yuru Camp characters themselves made cameos and Haru is literally Afro. At least the locations made for nice backgrounds again.

Anon, it's a straight pan vertically without any effects. It's just two images slapped together when stitching.

install ICE

Yuru Camp is a fictional manga in the monoverse

Nadeshiko literally appears later on in the manga

I'm still waiting for an answer, is this another Bocchi the Censored case, or all these girls are really that flat?

I just want cute girls fucking around and doing stupid shit with cameras

there's not much "stupid shit with cameras" you can fit into an iyashikei show. most of the really fun ones are honestly rather dangerous. do you really wanna watch the girls' gopro footage as they accidentally slam their head onto a rock and fucking dies while trying to do a backflip? or getting shot and bleed out while trying to do an epic prank?

do you really wanna watch the girls' gopro footage as they accidentally slam their head onto a rock and fucking dies while trying to do a backflip? or getting shot and bleed out while trying to do an epic prank?

yes I do

That actually sounds cool.

yeah

"Cute girls do Jackass things" would be an awesome anime

Δ

"Cute girls do Jackass things" would be an awesome anime

isn't that just asobi asobase

literally this season we have cute, sometimes slightly autistic and sometimes very retarded, girls murdering each other and random strangers and it's great, so why not?

There's at least An skateboarding in the trailer for the series, so there's that for GoPro footage.

Is this some kind of reference?

How old is she actually? Feels like she's in her twenties.

Now try selling that to the regional tourism board.

Yes.
Macross Delta

What happen to the subplot Haru about looking like that senpai she likes? Is Haru actually the senpai?

Where are the boobs?

Gone in favour of eyebrows.

Are the yurus aware there is a manga that if they read it, will show exactly the same things they've done?

mono in stereo

Flat for the Modern Aud

She wasn't playing for a bit when she was stealing that biscuit.

I'm about to binge this eppy, what am I in for?? Are the YURUs reall in it? My heart NEEDS more Nadeshiko!!

Biblically accurate yurus are in yes

OTHER THING refs
yes the yurus are in

As soon as Yamanashi was said outloud I had this big fucking dumbass smile on my face!

These examples are extremely phallic

Damn Ena just got SNUBBED!!

Update

WRONG
off-palette Ena right here

The cat is the one pulling the strings

But as soon as you throw on a sub-par kino, she's starts yapping nom-stop for hours about why it's trash and how the fucked it up and why [her favorite] kinos are better and she doesn't stop until you cuddle or sex her to sleep

Are these the same bears that mauled Rin?

I think I'm in love.

Taishou's Nekos

Youre right! That is ena!!
Well, chugsy and sakura got subbed!!

They are not to be triffled with

wife

I only have time to watch one out of this ep and the Hibimeshi ep today. I know a lot of you watched both, so what should I choose?

The webm is funnier

Wait, is Yuru Camp required viewing for this show?

I think some of you guys are being too critical of the episode. Yes, it had alot of Yurufanservice, but the monos were still in focus the entire time and it was solidly an episode of THEM doing stuff. I just so happened that they were on a manga pilgrimage. You KNOW that any one of us would behave the same way if we went on Yuru pilgrimages to all of these spots, some of you have literally done so
At the end of the day, the girls were STILL cute and they were still doing CUTE things

no

No, but it's requires viewing for being a CGDCT connoisseur, and basically required for posting on Anon Babble
Please watch the full series at your earliest convenience and do NOT forget all of the extras

boiled potatoes, twice as many as SSR

here's your driver bro

I am a massive gearfag (but still too poor for full frame)

I FUCKING HATE THEIR STUPID EYEBROWS

I was expecting this show to go a bit more into camera autism to shill some brand but all they use is dollar store gear and camera phones

It had some good moments like pic related, but I don't think I'm being too harsh when I say that most of the episode felt weird and forced with all the references and shit.

I really love creatures like this.

Definitely know that feel.

can a man with such poor taste even exist?

pretty good loop

Adorable cameos of the yuru cast

FORCED REFERENCE, FORCED SOUL IT'S BAAAAAD!

I think you should be FORCED outside and touch some grass. Imagine getting a gift and saying THIS IS LE FORCED KINDNESS I DO NOT WANT THIS!

There are people complaining about seeing Nadeshiko and the rest? These are not my people. I disavow them.

You should be FORCED out of this thread

a gift

I interpret these situations as a less popular and respected IP trying to improve its standing by way of riding the coattails of a more popular and respected IP.

I understand and respect your opinion and you as an anon
However I like this episode and will continue to like episodes of mono
The yurufanservice probably did not feel egregious to me because Yuru is one of my all time favorites of all time

I love the yurus but I'm watching mono to see the monos do silly things. This episode wasn't awful but the self fellating, regardless of whether it was at fault of the production staff or afro, was a bit much. Hopefully from here on out it'll be like episode 2, I enjoyed that significantly more than this one or the first ep.

You guys are taking it as if ithey were main characters of the story now. I never seen such shitty reactions to a reference. How come nobody reacted like this when Osaka appeared in Yotsuba and actually had a main role.

Why did Nadeshiko get such a low detail appearance compared to every other Yuru?

old reference GOOD
new reference BAD

They had to be careful to not let her radiance blind the audience. Too much Nadeshiko will overwhelm everything else.

If all you own is some boring old real camera you can't watch mono.

forced post

these things suck so bad lol

It's not a reference when it's an entire episode screaming "HEY REMEMBER THESE BELOVED CHARACTERS AND PLACES FROM THAT OTHER SERIES WE MADE? PRETTY COOL HUH?" especially this early in. It just feels disingenuous, throwing in a single yuru camp character in the background every other episode or so would've been a much better and less distracting way of doing it.

Man, she really did a number on that starter motor in their Nissan Pao. It´s a small wonder they made it through with her in the wheel.

NTA (and I haven't watched the ep yet), but they really spent the entire thing referencing Yuru Camp? I thought this would be an AOTS candidate as well, but that is grim...

A phone-specific case with threaded lens designed for one phone is significantly better than generic clip-on mounts.
Also it is a really nice case, way better than bundled transparent plastic.

Well, chugsy and sakura got subbed!!

DId they at least show a Nissan Rasheen?

They're still just a cope lens extender.

The episode was literally the four of them going on a yuru camp pilgrimage with the yurus popping up along the way.

The irony is that one of the non-seasonals I'm watching right now IS Yuru Camp (S1). It's disappointing that this week's episode of a different anime is just going to be a sidegrade (at best) to that.

Yuru Camp is already a manga in-universe (as Mattari Camp) and the original Yuru Camp characters exist in reality

The cast of Mono and their adventures are the inspiration for manga Haru creates (essentially making an equivalent manga)

Is it the same case for Mono when seen by the Yurus? What would the manga Haru creates be called? Why did Afro do it?

It was the author promoting the upcoming anime from his other manga.

The ED continues to outshine the OP, the girls all dreaming of the episode is really cute.
Did not realise how far Nadeshiko's bike journey was until they spelt it out like that

Mono uses the original Yuru Camp designs for the Yurus

Outshines S3 and the characters were only on screen for 30 seconds combined

Was it that hard 8bit?

Mono does nothing

Mandril loses another cup

no ears really is a handicap

Ena is at home enjoying AC because its summer

I watched it.
999 hours in paint

heh

I just want the real Inuko back...

all they use is dollar store gear and camera phones

and that is why i love them, they are literally me

Look how they ruined my girl in S3.

Some stitches.

THERE'S SOMETHING INSIDE YOU
IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN

abandoned buildings

so... she is actually autistic, correct?

i honestly don't get the s3 hate, it feels so forced to me. people bitch about the changed chara design but that design is way more manga-accurate. it's literally yurucamp the way the author intended

I love her too but I'm a sucker for danderes.

Last stitch.

Literally me

I love Shikishima's background faces. There were like a dozen cute ones in this episode alone.

Probably because you’re a retard. The manga looked like shit, so too does S3. You don’t course correct with S1 and S2, then go back and expect everyone to appreciate it because it’s closer to the manga. The original manga looks like shit.

She unironically looks better with long bangs (but the art style is still inferior)

I'm not the only one shouting MONO throughout the day right?

for me it's going WAAAAAAAA

But the manga looks great.

SHIKI! :D

she's the best

after I got used to the different style I started enjoying it for real

Haru-san my beloved...

Dozo

Ghosts do not afriad Shikashima
Ghosts afraid OF Shikashima

I do this literally all the time
Also with horses

I'll never forgive the elevens for letting this show flop

SAACHAN JUST WATCHED!
SHE JUST LET IT HAPPEN!
SHE IS A ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT!
IMPRISON SAACHAN NOW NOW NOW!

Look at how powerful she is. Taming this creature with ease.

Too genki
If she is fully animated, it will literally cause heart attacks from so much cuteness

Yeah she's cute. I took a bunch of screenshots of her cute faces. Amazing that despite being an autist and despite not being the center of attention, she's still animated and voiced doing something cute/silly.

The OST is pretty good too. Surprisingly, this show has pretty good production values for something that's considered second place to Yuru Camp.

I'm not a fan of this episode. I don't mind the cameos, because they were pretty non-intrusive, but in tone and direction, it feels more in line with Yuru Camp than with the first two episodes of Mono. I love Yuru Camp, but I don't want this series to become it. I want it to have its own personality. Also, I'm pretty disappointed by how little they are capitalizing on the photography club angle. I've been re-reading Kimi wa Hōkago Insomnia, and despite photography not being the main focus of the manga, the author does a fantastic job explaining the different intricacies of using a camera and what’s needed to take a good shot. Considering how autistic Yuru Camp was about these kinds of details, I thought it was a given that Mono would be too, but so far that’s not the case.

You say you have cute Shikishimas but post none? You need to fix that.
Yeah the production is nice. Hopefully it keeps it up and solidifies itself as a great SoL.

M-my pictures are on my PC but I'm on my phone right now.

I love her.

Cool Shikishima.

cute sleepwear

cute sleeping face

This autist is surprisingly so wifeable.

No Biker girl

Hope she joins the gang next episode

Main problem was cold season camping. It's gray, dull and boring. Next season should be way better.

Imagine getting caught taking a peek under the desk.

"I wanted to see your panties"

This has no right being as good as it is, and I love it.

I think I'm gonna watch mono on a 1 week delayed basis, waiting for fansubs (washed).
This anime is very japanese on the speech mannerism, that I absolutely CAN'T stand all the localization. It's giving me a massive tonal dissonance it's ruining the experience by a lot.
So, I can't participate in the weekly threads anymore.

Good bye.

超デキナイし

Kinda want a yuru camp keychain.
Why do women always have curb rashed wheels?
The driving instructor could have complimented her on pulling over to answer the phone.

I like the little continuity detail of the camera still being scratched.

The comfy camping will continue until morale improves.

There's something funny about how she responds to Haru so nonchalantly.

あっ、初めまして

こんにちは

私もでーす

いいですよ

It was nice that it was still scratched up. Most series would just have a scratch here or there at most, but this show went the extra mile.

So the MONOs visited the places featured in Yuru S1? Also,

The disrespect to Ena just being on the manga cover.

Yeah, I don't get the point of this. Why dedicate a whole episode to essentially promoting and celebrating another series that's already three seasons and one movie in, and already pretty popular? It seems unnecessary and self-congratulatory. I wouldn't mind at all if we hadn't had a new season since it premiered back in 2018, because at least then it would feel nostalgic, but that's not even the case.

RIN, how I've missed those dangos.

eating icecream in a car

It's like she wants sticky seats.
Cute megane camp dork spotted.
She's driving like an old lady.
More cute camp dork and sister spotted.
Holy cow those katsudon bowls are fucking massive.
Best pink camping dork spotted in full QUALITY.
This dumb little show is great.

i bet it was awful and filled with people shipping the schoolgirls.

When will they go visit the Yamas and the Bocchis?

The subtitles for Mono feel especially bad compared to other anime this season. Why even localize half the things they did?

Oh, my sweet summer child, Sacchan

Give me exact moment, I want to check.

02:16 of episode 2.

I don't know what you mean, Anon-senpai. maybe we should ask Miss Localizer?

Definitely better in spanish but not so far off I think.

Miss Localizer truly missed the opportunity for random speech mannerisms. She should have looked at the Daisuke subs for Stella no Mahou instead of settling for these schmaltzy subs.

Fair enough, but I still wanna talk about it with anons so I'll keep Washed in mind and do a rewatch with those later in the year!

Okay.

Why is she always eating?

she's a growing girl

For me.

we are missing 1 yuru bros!

You guys totally missed this partial cameo. That's the store where Ena from Yuru Camp works.

nah, already tried but when morning comes it ends

reminder those are candy for children, they are literally made for them to play around while picking

alternate universe where ena is the protag

The soundtrack for this anime brings me back to watching K-ON for the first time

No. Ena's part-time store is near Utsubuna station. The monos must be somewhere in Nagano in that image.

Shimarin!

my wife is back!

That's a different store.

Incorrect. Ena works at a store that's a bit more remote so not to be seen by her friends. The time Nadeshiko's mother came to her store you see it's the one shown in (though the name of the store has been changed)

Guess I'm set

Are you two drunk or something? It's the same in the manga too. Ena's real life part time location is the New Yamazaki Daily (coordinate: 35.2832005,138.4623247) near Utsubuna Station and Nanbu Bridge. I took the photo in myself. See this manga page yourself. Everything about the building and its surroundings is an exact match, including the unmistakable radio tower behind it.

Indeed.

Because its that way in the manga too.

I just want cute girls fucking around and doing stupid shit with cameras.

I have bad news

It is very nice to see anons post their gear

I should pick up the camera again

this good enough?

The scenery was so beautiful they forgot to take a photo

Whoa, it's the same composer. No wonder it's good and sounds familiar.

Nade-chan, my beloved.

Sex with Shima and Shikishima

How did that shot turn out?

Fellow macro enjoyer

Never finished Yuru Camp S2

Shikishimarin!

I know that this is a bit off topic, but when will she appear in that series? I know that she is studying in the United States, but I wonder if she will ever return. I kinda want her and Yotsuba Koiwai to meet each other.

Imagine spending your summer vacation with her.

I'm sure it's coming soon now that Osaka is canon.

Pretty senpai
