Production

Development

edit

Initial talks for a second season began during the airing of the first season of Laid-Back Camp due to its positive feedback, but the staff stated that another season was not possible "right away" due to their work schedule, while director Yoshiaki Kyogoku felt that it was "impossible" to happen.[12] In July 2018, producer Shōichi Hotta was offered by FuRyu to lead the second season project despite being no longer affiliated with the company.[12] Hotta then approached animation producer Ryoji Maru with a "big new" project, which consisted of the second season, a short anime, and a film, and discussed the season with writer Jin Tanaka and Kyogoku in an izakaya near C-Station's office.[12]

In October 2018, the season was greenlit at the Yuru Camp Secret Society Blanket Enrollment Explanation Meeting, an event for the anime series.[13] The returning staff included Kyogoku, Tanaka, character animation designer Mutsumi Sasaki, and cinematographer Hiroaki Tanaka.[11] The season was produced by DeNA and animated by C-Station.[11]

Writing

edit

The staff based the second season of Laid-Back Camp starting from the fifth volume of the manga series and included the concept of "family", which was found in those volumes to complete its story,[12] which it covers until the ninth volume.[14] In an interview with Business Insider, Hotta explained that unlike the first one, which focused on the characters meeting each other and becoming friends, the second season would explore their individual "journey[s]" as they began to think about what they wanted to do, particularly Nadeshiko Kagamihara becoming interested in solo camping.[15] This idea was based on a line from the fifth volume: "... you enjoy the solitude." (さみしさも楽しむもの)[15] Hotta created two catchphrases for the season, which are "It's lonely, but also fun" and "It's fun, but also lonely".[16]

Hotta, Kyogoku, and several other C-Station staff went on a camping trip to locations that would be featured in the season as part of their research and managed to complete it before the COVID-19 pandemic worsen.[17] More than 10 scouting trips were conducted to various locations in Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures, and other places that the characters would be visiting in the season.[18]

Casting

edit

Yumiri Hanamori, Nao Tōyama, Sayuri Hara, Aki Toyosaki, Rie Takahashi, Marina Inoue, Shizuka Itō, and Risae Matsuda reprised their respective roles from the first season as Nadeshiko Kagamihara, Rin Shima, Chiaki Ōgaki, Aoi Inuyama, Ena Saitō, Sakura Kagamihara, Minami Toba, and Akari Inuyama,[11] with Akio Otsuka also returning as the narrator and voice of Rin's grandfather.[11][19] In August 2020, Tomoyo Kurosawa joined the cast as Nadeshiko's childhood friend named Ayano Toki.[20] Tadahisa Fujimura and Masamichi Ureshino, directors of How Do You Like Wednesday?, made cameo appearances as a smelt fisherman and the manager of the campsite at Cape Ohmama.[21] The English dub cast for the season was announced in January 2024, including Celeste Perez as Rin, Morgan Garrett as Nadeshiko, Molly Zhang as Ena, Katelyn Barr as Chiaki, Hannah Alyea as Aoi, Phil Parsons as Wataru, Kelsey Cruz as Saki, Larry Cassady as the narrator, Katie Wetch as Ayano, and Ian Sinclair as the clerk.[22]
