The winter 2018 anime series Yuru Camp had its home video run out previously in a fairly standard way back in 2018. The twelve-episode series originally received a three-volume release that began on March 28th, 2018 where each disc had and the DVDs were priced at 12,000 yen and the Blu-rays at 14,000 yen. Now, the distributor is back with the first box set for it which has been scheduled for a December 16th, 2020 debut. We’ve got a bit to go but they’re starting to tease us with the look of it as the cover artwork for it has now been released which you can see below.
It’s a pretty good price overall as it’s at 22,000 yen, timing nicely for new material coming out next year as well. It’s still not exactly half of what the singles were priced at but I imagine they’ve got a series of priced-down box sets coming over the next few years.
Yoshiaki Kyougoku directed it based on the series composition by Jin Tanaka. C-Station worked on the animation.
The Japanese cast includes Nao Touyama as Rin Shima, Yumiri Hanamori as Nadeshiko Kagamihara, Sayuri Hara as Chiaki Oogaki, Aki Toyosaki as Aoi Inuyama, Rie Takahashi as Ena Saitou, Marina Inoue as Sakura Kagamihara, and Akio Ootsuka as the narrator.
The manga began in May 2015 in Japan while Yen Press has picked up the series for North American release beginning in 2018.
Plot Concept: Nadeshiko, a high school student who had moved from Shizuoka to Yamanashi, decides to see the famous, 1000 yen-bill-featured Mount Fuji. Even though she manages to bike all the way to Motosu, she’s forced to turn back because of worsening weather. Unable to set her eyes on her goal, she faints partway to her destination. When she wakes up, it’s night, in a place she’s never been before, with no way of knowing how to get home. Nadeshiko is saved when she encounters Rin, a girl who is out camping by herself. This outdoorsy girls story begins with this first encounter between Nadeshiko and Rin.
