Encouragement Of Climb Episode 2
While things have been very upbeat for the summer 2014 season of Encouragement of Climb, a little difficulty must enter the picture. The short-form series from 2012 is set to come back this summer with a second season that’s bumped up to fifteen minutes an episode and it was originally solicited as being a twenty-six episode run. Now things have changed as it’s been reduced to a twenty-four episode run. What’s more than likely with this is that the final two episodes are going to be paired off either as bonus episodes for the home video release or used as OAD episodes paired with an upcoming volume of the manga that Shiro has been producing since 2011 with five volumes released so far. The new season is scheduled to start in July 2014 with studio 8-Bit returning to animate it.
The series stars Yui Ogura, Kana Asumi, Yoko Hikasa and Yuka Iguchi.

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?
