comment
When Aoi Nakamura enters high school, she envisions herself participating in a variety of indoors activities such as knitting; having been injured from falling off a jungle gym some years previously, Aoi developed acrophobia and shies away from outdoors activities. However, on the first day of school, Aoi is reunited with her childhood friend, Hinata Kuraue, who persuades Aoi to accompany her on her mountain-climbing excursions. While Aoi is initially reluctant to participate, Hinata's insistence prompts Aoi to follow her on a short hike up a local hill, where she rediscovers the joys of mountain-climbing and recalls that as children, she'd seen a sunrise from the summit of a mountain and had promised to do so again with Hinata. Besides familiarising themselves with a range of skills and acquiring the necessary equipment for climbing mountains, Hinata and Aoi also encounter new friends in Kaede Saitou and Kokona Aoba on their journey. Together, they set out to explore and conquer the mountains of Japan with the goal of one day, fulfilling their promise to one another.Encouragement of Climb (ヤマノススメ, Yama no Susume) is a slice-of-life manga written and illustrated by Shiro. It began serialization in Earth Star Entertainment's Comic Earth Star magazine in 2011 and received an anime adaptation in January 2013, portraying Aoi and Hinata's reunion, their first excursions and meetings with Kaede and Kokona in three minute long episodes. A second season aired in the summer of 2014, consisting of twenty-four episodes that last fifteen minutes each, and during the summer of 2018, a third season aired. Owing to licensing issues, only the first and third seasons are available for watching on Crunchyroll. As of September 2019, a new anime project for Encouragement of Climb was announced during an autumn festival.

Heroic BSoD: While Yama no Susume is typically a very warm and easygoing series, the atmosphere becomes heavier in the aftermath of Aoi's failed attempt to climb Mount Fuji. For a few episodes afterwards, Aoi remains melancholy and cheerless.

Downer Ending: During the ascent to Mount Fuji's summit, Aoi developed altitude sickness and was forced to recuperate at the eighth station. She feels terrible that she's made Kaede accompany here, and remains dejected for a few episodes subsequently, but after taking a walk up Mount Tenran and meets Hinata up at the summit, Aoi regains her spirits.

Bookends: After her failure to ascend Mount Fuji during the second season, Aoi decides to climb Mount Tenran again and is surprised to discover how straightforward it was. This is the first mountain that she and Hinata had climbed together after reuniting with one another. The second season's fifth episode opens when Hinata trips and accidentally pulls down Aoi's skirt. At the episode's end, Aoi ends up doing the same to Hinata.

Why Did It Have to Be Heights?: After she became injured from falling off a jungle gym, Aoi became afraid of heights. Hinata is scared of fireflies and had developed this fear when she saw a firefly "monster" (which was Kokona dressed up as a firefly) after she and Aoi became lost.

A Day in the Limelight: Episode fifteen in the second season is focused on Kaede reminiscing about a raincoat she'd bought with Yuuka after realising the extent that Yuuka had worried about her well-being whenever she'd gone hiking alone. Season two's twentieth episode follows Kokona, who goes for a walk around town to get a feel for the new hiking shoes her mother had gifted to her for her birthday.
