And...the short OVA ends.

I have to admit though that Rie is quite annoying this episode with her weird expressions and crying. Nice way to finish off the OVA though and this was quite a relaxing watch.

Yes it was.

Cynthia finally gets her egg and names Haruno's bike Eggy. lol
The song was nice and Eri Kitamura is still funny playing emotional, overly dramatic characters.

Shame it was so short would love to see more.
This Anime showed how much impact some people can have on your life in a very short time The girls learned allot from Cynthia.
And Haruno definitely needed some encouragement.

This Anime could also be seen as a commercial but that made for some very nice details in the bikes.
And someone needs to finance this Anime.

Yeah, this was really just a waste of Satou's involvement.. I could see where they were trying to go, but in the end couldn't manage to deliver. Also, the 'baka gaijin' character is way too overdone.

At least we still have Tamayura to look forward to.

Not bad. Nothing to get to excited over, but still I liked it. Might also be my mindset right now as well - I'm going to Japan next month and spending two weeks just wandering around on my own. I don't know that I'll be in a position to fight chickens for their eggs, however.

I like this anime.
I don't see why people look down on this anime for being sponsored by one company when all TV anime have multiple companies sponsoring them. You guys wont to see blatant produce advertising in anime or using anime characters in ads? Google search 'Pizza Hut anime'.

That was a nice song to end this pretty interesting series. Very relaxing vibe, just like Tamayura. It was much more than I expected it to be and the sponsoring was hardly noticeable actually. 7/10.

Nice, relaxing series that teaches a little lesson about life ^^

Very worth the time, especially since it was only one hour. I'm glad I watched it.

I'm glad this wasn't an in your face infomercial of Honda
The one character I would remember would be Cynthia and her goods plus her daily egg hunting at the chicken barn xD

It was a nice hour of slice of life with nature and 2 wheels combined

1. it's always sad to see a great journey come to an end. u gotta make sure to take something w/ u from that journey so it never dies.

2. length of time someone knows someone isn't the main thing. it's what u do during the time u spend together that counts.

3. it was only 1-hour show but it sure did leave a deeper impact than a 12-episode season. this show has treated me well.

7/10

I don't get why people were/are complaining about Honda advertisements. It didn't take away from the show at all and the story also delivered a message to boot.

I will shamelessly say that I started shipping Kageyama & Cynthia. I've no regrets, and they'd work out fantastically.

That fangirl-ism aside, overall it was a really nice show and I stopped hating Haruno. Cynthia was probably my favorite character and she was downright adorable too even if she got a bit annoying at times with her hyperactiveness. Overall, these 4 episodes were very nice.

Well that was short but pretty nice to watch, Where did the whole "Lets make music!" thing come from though, It started off about Bikes and travelling but then suddenly shifted the focus towards creating music which I was very confused by. Also the chicken scenes were hilarious.

This wasn't bad. Though I think Haruno might have had too many friends for just an hour run-time (though I guess otherwise there wouldn't be a group.) Haruno herself was really cute and relatable, nice backgrounds...Not enough motorcycles? This show makes me want to watch Bakuon again.

Cynthia made this anime wack with her over the top personality, lame character along with lame characters. I did not enjoy it at all, but the animation was good though.

Ahhh, our time together was all too brief. Please come back Cynthia. Por favor!

Well overall, not too shabby. A shame it wasn't longer, but it was still relaxing and very much had that familiar, soothing atmosphere that often comes with Satou Junichi's works. It was also able to weave in some nice messages about thinking positively as well as seizing the day, step by step, a little bit at a time. Poco a poco, as they say it.

I think my favorite moment had to be in episode 2 when Cynthia takes Haruno on that spur of the moment ride to the ocean. From my experience, I've found that sometimes it's better to just take action without a plan than to mull things over and get lost in thoughts that end up paralyzing you altogether.

6.5/10. This makes me want to go on my own journey even more.

That was a nice farewell concert for Cynthia.

Poor Rie cried so much. She really cares for Cynthia. Well, I'm sure they'll see each other again one day. :)

Overall, a very pleasant, funny, and relaxing show. I really would like this to get a full-length season.

Overall, anime both had things I liked and couple of not really.. Anime tried to be serious with some topics, and I think it managed to put not that little inside, especially just for 4 episodes.. Starting something big is hard.. I also liked some of the characters.. Rie was fun, Haruno was interesting.. And what I didn't like too much.. I didn't like Cynthia, felt like a gal or something.. Just not to my taste.. As well as singing and creating group theme was much more close to me personally than the traveling theme..

Poor Rie, giving someone a tambourine is the equivalent of giving a younger sibling an unplugged controller while you're trying to beat a game.

Kageyama might be best girl. And, I could definitely get behind a KageyamaxCynthia ship.

Otherwise, it was an okay watch. A decent way to spend an hour.

Nice and chill anime, I'm glad I watched it. I just realized at the very end that Cynthia's initials are CBR, which I think is the model of bike she rides. That made me chuckle.

These last 2 episodes have been quite decent. Cynthia's personality stood for sure but don't think I really like much of it overall.
