from the world of [__Yuru Yuri__](https://anilist.co/anime/10495/Yuru-Yuri/) comes a brand new
series focusing on a background character from the main series
[__" Sakurako Oomuro "__](https://anilist.co/character/35878/Sakurako-Oomuro)
大室櫻子
#joined this time around by her sisters, hence the title..
those who've watched [Yuru Yuri](https://anilist.co/anime/10495/Yuru-Yuri/) will already have an
understanding of who she is and her dynamic with her family.
if you're someone who liked the main series you'll have no problem comfortably jumping right into
this and getting that expierence all over again.
however, for those who haven't watched [Yuru Yuri](https://anilist.co/anime/10495/Yuru-Yuri/)
prior to this release, you may want to read a little further to get a better understanding if this
series is for you.
∘₊✧─────────────────────────────────────────────✧₊∘
taking place before the events of [Yuru Yuri](https://anilist.co/anime/10495/Yuru-Yuri/) this is
as good place as any to start.
while you miss out on the likes of [Kyouko](https://anilist.co/character/35871/Kyouko-Toshinou),
[Yui](https://anilist.co/character/35874/Yui-Funami),
[Akari](https://anilist.co/character/35872/Akari-Akaza) and
[Chinatsu](https://anilist.co/character/35875/Chinatsu-Yoshikawa) outside of some voice and
background cameos, this series tries to replicate what makes the mainline cast work so well and
will help you flow right into the goofy nature of the mainline series.
#~~~ »•» __ characters__ «•«~~~
In it's __43 minute__ runtime, it manages to fit in more than a handful of characters all having
drastically unique personalities. I'll mainly be covering the main three as each story segment
revolves around them.
[__✿ sakurako ✿__](https://anilist.co/character/35878/Sakurako-Oomuro)
being used as the face of this entry is as lovable and dense it gets.
completely unaware of social queues, and her inability to get her emotions across normally, she is
the stand-out character making every scene she's in a joy to watch.
while I believe her personality is best when it's paired with
[Himawari](https://anilist.co/character/35871/Kyouko-Toshinou), this entry offers enough for me to
say you don't lose much of what makes her character so great amongst the wide cast.

[__✿ hanako ✿__](https://anilist.co/character/66565/Hanako-Oomuro)
the younger sister of sakurako, and the youngest out of the three sisters.
ranking amongst the top of her grade, she's shown to be very intelligent.
despite that she, like her other sisters, is unable to convey her emotions properly and often
times comes across as cold from being too blunt towards sakurako and her classmates.
even with her intelligence, as you'd expect from someone who's supposed to be much younger she's
still very immature.
unlike sakurako who's just a chaotic mess, her immaturity comes from her youth and her desire to
still be looked after, relying heavily on her family.
◇

[__✿ nadeshiko ✿__](https://anilist.co/character/35878/Sakurako-Oomuro)
the older sister of sakurako, and the eldest sister out of the three.
unlike the previous two sisters whose dynamic are polar opposites,
she's around to keep them in check by being strict and very much playing into the older sister
type you'd expect.
like most of the series you never see much from their parents, though this really is just
[namori](https://anilist.co/staff/101553/Namori) not introducing characters who aren't really
needed.
~~and obviously so no man (the father) gets in the way of the cute girls~~
so it really helps to balance everything out with an older sister who does what you'd expect
parents to do, just without the downsides of being a parent.
much like the other sisters, she has her own friend group.
though unlike the rest who have established couple dynamics in the series, her other half is left
unexplored thus far with plenty of guessing room given to who it may be.
#~~~ »•» __ art__ «•«~~~
this season is undoubtedly the best the franchise has looked with what originally started as a
pretty average adaptation nearly 1 years ago..
( at least as far as art style is concerned )
from the same studio behind oshi no ko, [doga kobo](https://anilist.co/studio/95/Doga-Kobo).
to now being adapted by the infamous studio which brought us interspecies reviewers or even the
currently airing spice-wolf adaptation
[__✿ studio passione ✿__](https://anilist.co/studio/911/Passione)
from a studio with very controversial works ranging from ethical to style debates comes their
first swing at the "cute girls doing cute things" sub-genre with no other franchise better to
start with other than yuru yuri.
and while I thought their work on interspecies reviewers was pretty good, their work here is
almost unarguably their best showcase.
the quality put into each frame almost feels like it's ripped right from the source.
if you ever worry about an anime not adapting the mangas art style making the transition from
anime to manga once it ends rough, that shouldn't be a worry here. the quality you get from the
manga is the quality you get from this movie though maybe a bit more dynamic in its framing.
backed up by the current director of the revived franchise coming from studio shaft, who
previously worked on big titles like monogatari, nisekoi and your name.
if you're a fan of modern animation, you'll be pleased here.
#~~~ »•» __ music__ «•«~~~
they really know how to elevate feelings and comfort with background music.
some anime I've watched have struggled trying to fit a song into a scene and keep the tone of the
scene accurate but here that really isn't an issue.
every song, including both the OP and ED bring me nothing but joy which is exactly what I want
when experiencing things like this.
∘₊✧─────────────────────────────────────────────✧₊∘
#~~~ »•» __ summary__ «•«~~~
there isn't really much to be said here I haven't already said.
regardless if you're new to the franchise or you've been around since the start and just want a
short movie about cute girls being silly with
great art, pleasant music and lovable characters?
then I think this is the right pick for you.
__I give [oomuro-ke](https://anilist.co/anime/167984/Oomuroke-dear-sisters/) a perfect score.__
