Encouragement Of Climb Episode 8
Quite possibly one of the most charming short-form shows we’ve seen in the last few years, Encouragement of Climb, has gotten the formal second season renewal. And it’s one that’s going bigger for the second shot at life. While the first season had five minute episodes, the new season will run for fifteen minutes each and will have two seasons to run, i.e. a six month period of 24/26 episodes depending on how it falls out and what may end up as OVA releases to get fans to buy there. The show is being produced by the same team though no season debut date was given yet.
Plot concept: Aoi prefers indoor hobbies and is afraid of heights, but her childhood friend Hinata loves to show off her passion for mountain climbing. As young children they once watched the sunrise from the top of a mountain, and now they’ve decided to take up mountain climbing in hopes of seeing that sunrise again. They have cooking battles with mountaineering gear, climb small hills in their neighborhood, and meet new mountaineering friends as they learn the ropes of the hobby. When will they finally see that sunrise again?
