Mini Yuri

Mini Yuri does as expected. Hyping up the Yuru Yuri 10th Anniversary "Yuru Yuri Ten" Project. It does it well. If you like the Yuru Yuri show in general, you'll love this. The usual comedy is there, and the usual fun and interesting characters are there too. So you'll love it too! It's short and sweet, but still provides good laughs.

You can watch all four mini episodes within one entire episode. It's a great watch if you want something short and sweet to watch for a bit. Really gets you hyped up for the Yuru Yuri ten in general.

Mini Yuri is a mini-OVA series hyping the Yuru Yuri 10th Anniversary "Yuru Yuri Ten" Project. The OVA series is 4 episodes with a runtime of 3 minutes each and for the most part having the cast in some chibi hijinks.

Mini Yuri essentially gives us four scenarios within the four episodes, be it a Yuriympics, a "murder mystery", the core cast going big on YuruTube and a tongue in cheek "Opposite Day" with the core cast. The comedy is pretty much as to be expected with these 3 minute skits with again tongue in cheek flanderization of the cast to the core cast going in ... same "crazy scenarios" but mostly enacted by Kyouko for heck all the episodes just for the lulz (seriously)

The animation done by W-Toon Studio and DMM.futureworks is ehhh ok even for an all out chibi OVA comedy skit. Like the animation is mostly chibi's but they do like to shake it up a little bit for the meta-sense or just again for the lulz. The voice cast is back so there isn't much to say on this front.

Really like every intro for Mini Yuri, these mini OVA's are a vehicle to hype things up for the 10th Anniversary for the Yuru Yuri and the Yuru Yuri Ten anime and really it did it's job, comedy was to expected from Yuru Yuri and brought Yuru Yuri into focus again for the next full anime soon to be released.

Akari who?...

These little chibi episodes are a common staple of slice of life anime. They're usually bundled with the home release or put out via twitter or youtube or something as a promotion. The joke here is that these episodes are meant to show you what the series is like, but then proceed to do nothing like that. The first episode has all the characters acting the opposite of how they should, the second episode has them all trying to be Vtubers and the rest is some standard hijinks from the amusement club condensed down into 5 minute chunks.

If you're a fan of the series you'll ... probably think these are mildly funny, but if you haven't watched a whole lot of it you'll probably just be confused. 6/10
