Reception

edit

In his review of the first three episodes, Steve Jones of Anime News Network noted the noticeable change, particularly the compositing, between the third season and the previous seasons after Eight Bit took over the production from C-Station. Jones criticized how the characters "poorly... mesh" with their backgrounds and the use of lightly edited photographs layered into the background. However, he became "more acclimated to the new style" with each new episode released. Despite the new staff and studio, he lauded the season for how it still depicted the spirit of camping and laid-back style, and highlighted areas of Japan that were never heard about such as the Ōi River. He also praised the "heightened presence" of Ayano in the episodes.[54]
