Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit Ep 2, Release Date, Speculation

In episode 1 of Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit, Aoi’s confident yet enthusiastic greeting is charming, and Kaede’s hop is cute, as is Hinata’s stumbling as she comes out of the door. Because it is written from the perspective of their family, it is even more touching.

Taking one step at a time, with friends by your side, is the best way to demonstrate the theme. Aoi holds her skirt bottom before reaching down to retrieve the book; I like that.

Here are the latest updates.

Episode 2 Speculation

Just like in episode 1, episode 2 will focus on recapping previous seasons. In the same way that episode 1 was a recap, every episode till 4 will be the same.

As of now, no one knows what will be shown in the new episodes. For the time being, we must await the episode’s release, so we can see what the future holds.

1. Is Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit on a break this week?

No, episode 2 of Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit is not on break this week. The episode will be released as per schedule.

Episode 1 Recap 

Once again, the mountain-climbing girls are back! The OP for Yama no Susume was directed/storyboarded by Eri Ire, and it is fantastic. The OP’s most memorable part shows how he emphasizes Naoko Yamada’s body parts and other appendages, particularly the hands. Kaede does a cute hop,

Hinata stumbles on her way out, and Aoi greets the world with firm determination and enthusiasm. The fact that it’s from the perspective of their family and friends makes it all the more touching.

The best way to demonstrate the theme of moving forward one step at a time is to hold your friends’ hands as you take each step.

This is a callback to the shenanigans in season 2. My brain will be occupied with Aoi’s small curtsy for months. As a result, it will be able to call it home. It’s a very subtle character performance.

To retrieve the book, Aoi leans down to hold the bottom of her skirt. Ryosuke Shinkai should have been responsible for all the new footage, and Shinpei Ezaki should have been responsible for the storyboard.

In summary, it was a good idea to include recap episodes for the first four episodes, given that season 1 has been on the air for almost a decade. You can check out the rewatch that just ended for more detailed thoughts on these.
