Summary:
Aoi and Hinata promised that they would again see the sunrise they had seen at the apex of a mountain as young children. As time passes by, somehow without any apparent reasons, Aoi becomes acrophobic, Will they ever see the sunrise together again. A piece that became popular in a fanzine is now out on manga.

I am thoroughly enjoying this cute story and its characters. The character designs and animation are cute and consistent and basing an anime around mountain climbing is certainly a unique idea. I personally can't wait to see the girls climb an proper mountain eventually and I think Yama no Susume has potential. The problem is, there's not much else to say. With each episode being only 3 minutes long, I worry that Yama no Susume will never be able to reach its peak (If you'll excuse the bad pun). With each episode being only 3 minutes including the ending, there's never really enough time to get involved in the plot and there's very little development. As it is now, I should probably rate Yama no Susume lower, but I have rated out five stars in order to show my support. I hope this eventually is popular enough to get full-length episodes, so please show your appreciation for Yama no Susume!
