Synopsis

*Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi!+* offers additional episodes set as summer break winds down, letting the Amusement Club savor every remaining day off.

With sunny outings, chats that bring back memories of their recent camping trip, and a lively sleepover, the girls keep their carefree routine going—alongside the familiar faces of the student council—while they squeeze in a few more warm-weather moments before school returns.

Otaku Consensus

Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi!+ is best received as a lean, high-confidence bridge piece: TYO Animations preserves the franchise’s gag rhythm, relaxed art direction, and chemistry-first ensemble comedy strongly enough that reviewers who liked the Nachuyachumi OVA carried that goodwill into San Hai. Its appeal is precise rather than broad, with praise centering on voice acting and endearing character interactions; the main criticism is that two short specials feel lightweight and assume the viewer already cares about the cast.

Why You Should Watch

Watch Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi!+ if you want CGDCT comedy with openly yuri-flavored teasing but without romantic melodrama, tonal whiplash, or a heavy continuity burden. It scratches the same low-stakes clubroom itch as K-On! and the same warm-weather slice-of-life comfort as Non Non Biyori, but its personality is more gag-driven: reactions, timing, and recurring character dynamics do the work. The two-episode length makes it ideal for viewers who already like the Amusement Club and want a concentrated hit of their banter rather than another full season. It is also a useful checkpoint for fans tracking the franchise’s studio transition, since TYO Animations’ handling of the Nachuyachumi material helped reassure viewers before Yuru Yuri San Hai!.

Key Characters

A
Akari Akaza(VA: Shiori Mikami)
Akari remains the franchise’s lovable anti-centerpiece, a main character whose running joke is how often the spotlight slips away from her.
Y
Yui Funami(VA: Minami Tsuda)
Yui grounds the group with deadpan restraint, making her the straight-faced counterweight that lets the louder jokes land cleanly.
K
Kyouko Toshinou(VA: Yuka Ootsubo)
Kyouko is the chaos engine fans come back for, turning ordinary downtime into setups for rapid-fire reactions and affectionate teasing.
C
Chinatsu Yoshikawa(VA: Rumi Ookubo)
Chinatsu brings the sharper yuri-comedy edge, balancing cute presentation with intense crush-driven energy.

What Makes It Stand Out

1
TYO Animations handled these specials, continuing the Nachuyachumi-era production after the franchise had changed studios; fan commentary specifically noted increased trust in the studio before Yuru Yuri San Hai!.
2
The format is unusually compact for the franchise: only two episodes aired, from August 21, 2015 to September 18, 2015, making it more of an interstitial summer coda than a full sequel season.
3
The main quartet’s original Japanese voice cast returns: Shiori Mikami, Minami Tsuda, Yuka Ootsubo, and Rumi Ookubo. Reviews of the Nachuyachumi batch singled out the acting as one of the reasons the material works despite its light structure.
4
Its reception profile is niche but durable: a 7.77/10 MAL score from 31,328 votes and a rank of #1266 place it above many franchise specials, while its #3311 popularity shows it was mostly watched by committed Yuru Yuri fans.
5
The specials sit in the commonly cited viewing order between the first two TV seasons, the Nachuyachumi OVA material, and San Hai!, which makes them valuable for viewers who want the tonal handoff into season three.

Fun Facts & Trivia

Fun fact 1: A YouTube review by Kalice posted on October 10, 2015 recommended watching the franchise in order as Season 1, Season 2, the Nachuyachumi OVA block, and then Yuru Yuri San Hai!, placing Nachuyachumi!+ directly in the pre-season-three corridor.
Fun fact 2: Web criticism around the Nachuyachumi material gave it an 8/10 and praised its fun interactions, strong acting, relaxing art, and music, a reception pattern that matches the specials’ fan-service-for-regulars design.
Fun fact 3: Although MAL classifies the entry under Comedy and Girls Love, its theme tags clarify the actual mode: CGDCT and gag humor, not a romance-first yuri drama.
Fun fact 4: The two episodes finished airing less than a month apart, which made Nachuyachumi!+ a brief 2015 late-summer event rather than a seasonal broadcast commitment.
