YuruYuri: Happy Go Lily S1
Series Blurb
On her first day attending the all-girls Nanamori Middle School in Takaoka, Toyama Akaza Akari oversleeps, to be awakened by her one-year-senior childhood friends: the level-headed Funami Yui and the often self-centered Toshinou Kyouko. Planning on exciting club activities at school, Akari joins the club her older friends have set up. But as it turns out Kyouko and Yui simply took over the former room of the now defunct tea ceremony club for their own Amusement Club. In regard to what the club does, Kyouko explains: "We just hang out and do whatever we want!" This is not exactly what the helpful and energetic Akari had hoped for. Surprisingly a few days later Yoshikawa Chinatsu joins the club even though she mistook it for the former tea ceremony club.
And so the four fun-loving girls could enjoy spending their spare time at the club were it not for the student council, in person of vice president Sugiura Ayano, who does her very best to shut down this unauthorized club.

(4.33/5)Bizarrely brilliant
Do you ever watch a show and get the sense that the cast and crew are having a ton of fun making it? Yuru Yuri is a show overflowing with that feeling.
I went into this expecting a calm moe slice-of-life, and instead got a frantic and absurd comedy (albeit one that didn't always quite land, partially due to my own imperfect understanding) with a gorgeous colour palette and style that have stayed in my mind long since I watched it. The love and joy put into this by the creators is infectious.
Crazy but Funny
If you like crazy over the top type of comedies then this is the show for you. There's no real overarching plot since its mainly a cute girls doing cute things show but it's still fun to watch. Some of the jokes get repeated a lot so it gets repetitive at times but the show is funny for the most part.
Language wise this series is pretty easy to follow along to. There were a few jokes they made that I didn't quite understand but overall the dialogue is relatively normal slice of life stuff.
