If my streaming service charged me extra to listen to Aoi Koga and Ueda Reuna from the same series talking for twenty minutes a week, I would happily pay.

Heh, I like the manga artist but also the cat. This looks like a funny and chill series so let's hope it's gonna be an enjoyable season.

I love it 😭
With Yuru Camp and now this, Afro is truly the king of modern CGDCT!

I love the characters, Satsuki is cute and Haruno is great, but Kiriyama being a lesbo ruined it, still, I'll just ignore that, because this anime is still really great, and I still like her a lot, typical "best girl is actually gay" problem here.

I had no idea cameras like that existed lmao, I love that photography is the focus of this one, like camping is for Yuru Camp, Afro must be someone that really knows a lot about scenery and landscapes.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

Kiriyama voiced by Koga Aoi is very good.
Why is Satsuki calling Kiriyama by her last name lol?

If anything, I was surprised when the entire first year of our girl didn't even get a total of 2 mins of screen time lol. Though that aside, good start as usual. I mean that was to be expected, given this is from the same author of Yuru camp. I had doubts over the studio, but yeah they knocked out any looming doubts with this first episode itself. Give Yuru camp's next season to this studio

Btw, did that other girl repaired her camera or bought a new one? xD

This instantly went to my list of best anime premier of all time, the recent one being Makeine.

Animation is peak and definitely a great debut for this new studio, though I can probably see that this studio will probably be specialized in yuri stuff. I don't consume yuri on regular basis but if it has peak animation like this? Count me in.

if u love Makeine, you Will love this series too as there's another "Anna Yanami" in mono, but more Calm version

Also like...why is the name just mono
Thats so confusing

mono means "thing, object" in Japanese, and you need objects to take photos, not sure, I'm not the author.

So, Yuru Camp is so wholesome, chill, and tame, because Mono got all the gay jokes, cringe comedy, and grotesqueries? But seriously, it's a pretty good hobby show. Especially for me as a big fan of urban photography.

@AkeZZZ I feel like the first episode alone has already bred half the memes about amateur photography and amateur hobbies in general. Just look at the joke about MC mostly taking pictures of cats, random shit, the sky, and her senpai with a camera.

@Red_Ranger_Wien Seriously? Yes, the show loses to YC in terms of comfy atmosphere, but purely subjectively it is much more powerful in terms of pure humor.

Aw I've been wanting to get a 360/action camera for a while to something similar to this and have something like a 360 stage in nature, but the funds have been too low to justify such a purchase. I love seeing them doing something similar. I'll get to it, but this is cool and fine to watch as I anticipate that day for now!

NGL, decided to check this show only because of dem brows on the girl from the poster.

Chill anime. Haven't seen Yuru camp but heard this is from the same author.

Looks like it'll be slow and relaxing.

Mangaka is one odd character. What were girls thinking getting in the car with her for 2nd time!

I'd be screaming to let me out the first time.

It's so weird, I can't tell if i bored watching this or enjoying it? It felt like an hour watching this episode, but I'll watch a few more once all the characters are settled in. I think at the end of the day these types of shows aren't for me since I couldn't really get into Yuru Camp which everyone seems to bring up when talking about this. Definitely doesn't help i watched this early in the day, maybe a show right before bed it has some merit for me.

I feel like I'm the only one who has not seen the author's other work, Yuru Camp, with all the comparisons being drawn to it. Regardless, this show is nice and chill as a Sacchan enjoyer.

The bit about the mangaka was smart - very meta, maybe almost too much so?

Overall, my first impression is mixed. Visually, the show looks good, and I like that they are adding in photography details like you'd expect from a show about hobbies. Having a cat is always a plus, and the night light shots looked nice. But the characters seem pretty basic/unengaging (and a bit obsessive/stalkerish, but seems like that'll just be a one-time thing, so it doesn't really bother me). Hits me as a show that will be decent as something to kill time watching, but not something that will leave much of an impression. Doesn't seem on the same level as shows like Yuru Camp & Bocchi. Hope I'm wrong, but we'll see.

Getting some deja vu if you get what I mean..
@lingojk Either Initial D's consecutive hairpins, or the time in Yuru Camp (it was season 2 episode 2) when Toba-sensei was drifting her boxy kei car trying to get somewhere faster.

I wanted to like this, but I finished this episode and didn't care for the characters at all, while Yuru Camp had me hooked from the start.
Does this show continue to spend so much time on the Mangaka instead of the school club, or does this change later on?

New cozy anime aquired. Find the inception story interesting. Source is a 4-koma manga about high school girls in a photography club...in which they end up helping a 4-koma manga artist by modelling for her own series about high school girls in a photography club :P

Honestly, since I bought a phone around 15 years ago, I never cared about photography. I always believed in the saying "live the moment rather than capturing it." I even used to think my sister (who’s a photo addict) was sick or something—haha sorry for the expression, but since she’s my sister, I think I’m allowed to say that, right?

Anyway, seven months ago I had the chance to travel for leisure and randomly decided to document the whole trip through photography... Two things happened: first, my family praised my photography skills! They said I was a talented photographer and took beautiful pictures. Second, I discovered that photography is actually fun! On the contrary, I lived the moment more, and when I returned home, I got to relive those moments again and again by looking at the pictures and remembering everything.

That’s why I really liked the anime’s idea. I initially planned to watch the episodes at 2.0x speed since I had an experience with a Yuru Camp anime by the same author, I think. That one needed some speeding up... Even though I rated it 10/10, I only watched one season.

But the first episode was really nice—it pulled me in to the point that I forgot about speeding it up and watched it at normal speed. I’ll explain why I think I initially underestimated the anime in the next episode’s comment. Anyway, I was surprised that Sacchan took 30,000 pictures of Senpai—haha I documented my whole one-week trip with just 500 photos!

Anyway, let’s move on to the next episode.

Man I missed watching anime of CGDCT’s bro it’s been a while since I watched one and I just randomly put this on bc I remember i put it on my watchlist back in January and never got to it when it was airing when I should’ve hopped on it bc this show IS JUST FOR ME, This shit is so chill, relaxing, cute and funny😭💢 I also love how the plot is simple…we’re here to watch Amamiya and Kiriyama become photographers and have cutesy fun while doing it😊

The animation is fucking beautiful bro it’s so fluid and clean, like the fluidity of the characters movements is just eye candy to me I love it🔥🔥🔥🔥

Kiriyama is a fucking precious item that needs to be protected man she’s so funny and adds flavour into this show with her funny antics and funny remarks, the way she was beefing them kids bc she didn’t want to give them that treat she snagged was so funny I love her character so much already😭

Watching this randomly at 3am definitely brighten up my mood haha I’m definitely sticking with this 10/10 show :DDDD

(Beware of me being down bad horny) Guys Amamiya and her thighs high are SO hot to me and I deadass couldn’t stop staring at her legs I literally have a Zettai Ryouiki problem (that’s the word for the area between the thigh high socks and the mini skirt) like look at her!!!! These gotta be fanservice shots and nobody will tell me otherwise, thank you Afro-sensei and the animators for drawings these shots of Amamiya bent over😩🤤😩

Let's take some photos.
From the creator of Yuru Camp.
I was really looking forward to this anime.
I really liked the first episode.
It's very funny and the girls are very likeable.
I'll definitely keep watching it.
