The longest advertisement I have ever watched, but at least it was put together to be enjoyable.

I'm disappointed she rode her cub during the trip after she promised her teacher not to. That's a pretty serious breach of trust.

The last five minutes felt like just one long commercial from Honda. "and this fantastic machine can be yours for just 12 easy payments of ......."

Full of wholesome. I loved it more than previous episodes. Koguma finally proved her true enjoyment.
"There are endless possibilities." I think this quote fits SUPER CUB.

Reiko just lights up like a sun when she saw her little rebel wife outside the bus. And ran up to greet her! It was so cute

And on their romantic trip together, she clings on to Koguma even if they weren't going really fast, Reiko just wanted to hold her girlfriend and be close to her. Awwwwwwwwww my little lesbians are in love,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

They are so cute together❤❤❤

IMO this was the episode with the strongest Yuri vibes so far and therefore the one I enjoyed the most. Koguma and Reiko goes so well together and is one of my favorite lesbian couples/ships this season

The way she holds her is so precious,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEES

Also, get your minds out of the gutters guys. It's pretty obvious that Koguma had the thermometer in her armpit to check her temperature; that happens a lot when girls get fevers in anime, it just looks weird here cos Koguma is lying down when she checks it the second time.
Yeah, no it wasn't "obvious" or else I wouldn't have said anything. I did go back and watch those two scenes again and I can see that maybe it was indeed all about her armpit, which is what I assumed it was all this time anyway. But it still wasn't "obvious," regardless of it being a common trope.

Also, Japan really loves to promote Mt. Fuji lmao.
I could have sworn that I'd read somewhere that the same Yamanashi Prefecture tourism board that sponsored Laid Back Camp had thrown some money into this production, along with Honda; but now I can't find that source. So maybe I hallucinated it while I had my three-hour fever I checked with an armpit thermometer from an awkward angle.

WHY IS THE THERMOMETER UNDER THE COVERS!!! Exactly where was she sticking that thermometer???

edit: That was good episode. Every time she makes a turn, I think she's in the wrong lane. This episode made me so anxious.
I guess the teacher should've taken her keys if they really didn't want her riding.

Losing interest on an anime you were enjoying sucks, but unfortunately it happened to me with Super Cub.
I was really enjoying it up until episode 4, but then episode 5 came out and it was so unrealistic and absurd that it completely ruined my enjoyment. Super Cub is an anime that is fairly realistic and relaxing, an episode like that has absolutely no place in it, so I was expecting things to get back on track with episode 6 and all I got instead was a reminder that Super Cub is basically a Honda advert disguised as anime, making me feel like it's not worth watching it anymore.
I'll give episode 7 a try when it comes out, but I don't have any hopes it will win me back.
Not even Koguma's precious smile could save this anime for me. A shame, really.

As someone who live very close to Kamakura, it's rly nice to see how kamakura is presented. Also CG has gotten so much better compared to ep1 too. Nice and chill as always

...As an experienced rider in Japan I can tell you what they did pillion riding in the end was definitely illegal...


Really? Is it because of:
A_ the displacement of the engine? (only allowed on bigger bikes?)
B_ you can't ride pillion on routes?
C_ you just can't ride pillion on any bike, on any road?

Weird, considering the bike was made in Japan and still comes with a pillion Rewatched it to be sure, it actually had a grill (was that the reason that makes riding like that "illegal"?). We have a joke here for situations like that: you ask your friend "can I borrow a sharpie? I need to redraw my butt crack!" LoL

Here in South America you can carry a passenger on any bike, provided they wear their helmet.


Not sure if you'll see this because it's been days but I'll answer it anyway :)

In order to legally pillion you need:
- a bike that's above 125cc (MC cub was only 52cc)
- license should be at least 1 years old (MC just got her motorcycle license over summer break)

Another nitpick is that she passed through several highways where it's illegal if your bike again is below 125cc. Some of the highway she passed is also age restricted where you have to be at least 20 years old.

It was interesting to see those two defy the orders of their teachers (i.e. not riding the Cub during the trip). I was under the impression that Japanese society/culture values strict obedience to superiors and authority, especially in an organized setting such as school. I guess not!

So, those mysterious money where coming from her savings from the scholarship. Finally they said it.

My shit mind when Koguma was moaning and my sigh of regret when she took out the thermometer....

How will Koguma go back? If the teachers don't allow Koguma to ride her bike home then she'll have to leave it there.

Looks like the third character will finally get introduced in the next episode.

She was only forbidden to ride it during the stay there. Not that she listened even to that, as we could see...

I'm glad she didn't miss her trip and got to enjoy it with Reiko. Felt sad that Reiko's cub needs to be changed but after what happened during summer break not surprised. Also we are halfway through the series and still we didn't see the third girl. I hope she appears soon.

The streets in this anime always look so deserted. If I tried going for a 170km road trip here I'll come back with lung cancer.

Reiko took a helmet with her just in case. Naw, she knew what was up lol.

Glad Koguma got over her fever, and that she has a friend in Reiko. Can you imagine if something like this happened when she first got her Cub? I don't know if she'd have the confidence to take the trip

Bit worried something might happen to Koguma after just recovering but good that she succeeded in joining her class trip. I can't imagine the teachers reactions on Koguma and Reiko sneaking away because complaining to Koguma's non-existing parents isn't really an option lol.

Like all anime, one can not question the finer points of plot or the details of motorcycling. We must suspend disbelief to enjoy the story as it was intended. Personally, I don't have enough cushion on my backside to ride on a metal rack like Reiko.

Loved Reiko's speech about getting an old Hunter Cub from before electric starts or digital odometers. I'm with Rei. I wish we could still buy those old analog machines with kick starters. Nowadays even the halogen headlamps are considered old fashioned.

The only thing cuter than Koguma in pigtails and a kimono is those two little outlaws taking off on the Super Cub together! 

This actually seemed like a series-ending episode. Reiko declares, "We really do belong up in the mountains!" Then the speech about riding your cub forever and getting parts for it in 50 years.  I wonder if this was written as a possible ending if the anime did not go any further...

I genuinely love their relationship, it's just so wholesome and adorable. Two cub friends.

Also those pig tails were truly the best, so cute.

This episode: Young lady takes the probably most uncomrfotable road trip anyone ever would voluntarily take.

It was still very cute and soothing doe.

Anyway, any student who would arrive at the school trip's destination *ahead* of the bus while riding a goddamned scooter would be an instant freaking LEGEND in the school. Sadly, we got only a few reactions.

It would be safe to assume that Koguma would to be elevated to absolute legendary status during the next episodes, especially in such a small school. Alas, I doubt the plot will explore that. A pity, honestly. It would be damn funny and entertaining to watch her having to deal with the absolute madness she just did.

She made it safely, had a great bath and amazing food! The best part is Koguma riding her cub with Reiko on the back. Reiko's smile is priceless. Koguma's pure joy about her cub is a balm to the soul.
