Well that was kinda fun. Not as much as cycling as some of the other episodes but we got maid outfits and Hinako in a Chinese dress! I'd say that's worth watching for this episode.

Hinako does look good in that outfit!

Ami is buying an Orc!!
And Hinako works as an dominatrix.

Anyway it was a funny episode finding out what the girls do for work.
Tho i have to say that being in a maid cafe must be really embarrassing not just for the staff but also the customers.

WcDonalds! Been awhile since I'd seen one. XD Ami was pretty cute as a clumsy, embarrassed maid. Too bad we didn't see Yayoi's big, beautiful tits in that China dress. XD

And Ami get more idea about "type" of bike thanks to Hinako. And talking about them both. Ami's clumsy outfit is pretty cute. But Hinako, her Cheongsam outfit surely irresistible. Please punch me, Hinako-chan. >_<

Such a cute and fun episode.

Looks like Ami got herself a road-bike, That was earlier than expected. I know that feel when you end up spending too much money because you simple can't resist the temptation. Damn you, Steam Sales xD

Hinako in China dress was so cute. <3
Bunny ears makes it even better. XD
If that wasn't enough, They gives us a full maid outfit Ami with 'blushing' service. Full Points for this episode man. XD

Decent episode but the production of this anime seems to falling apart cuz the 5th episode will be delayed. If they go by this pace with might see only half of the anime lol. Cuz at this point they will have to air for sure a double episode cuz i doubt there will be a free time slot later in winter season....

Ami in a waitress uniform is so damn cute. In fact, all of the dresses the girls wear in this episode are cute.

Also, what's with the Alpaca hat girl? Why does she even wear the hat?

agreed. I usually don't get hung up over animation quality (roughness or such), but watching Ami's right hip joint bend far to low was distracting.

This was a pretty good episode.
From Hinako's job to Ami's maid job. Gotta say that heart thing was so funny and cute. Aoi's expression when she saw Ami doing the heart shape was priceless.

Hinako and Yayoi celebrating when Aoi gave in to tail Ami was pretty funny.

Gotta say, it's important to always check stuff before buying them. Ami bought that old model road bike but it had no pedals. But at least she finally has a road bike. Aoi didn't seem all that enthusiastic when Ami bought the bike for some reason.

It's the name of the store in which she works so I assume it's a tie-in.

Pretty funny episode. Hinako is bad-ass. She decked both of those guys. Here angry reaction shots were nice.

Ami and the manager was funny. Ami expected to be scolded, but instead she fits the clumsy maid stereotype.

I hope this show keeps going. Too bad about the delay next week.

I wish there are maid restaurants like Maid Garden in real-life. They pay well than any restaurants. I want a hot manager like her. I want Blushing option and the Take my heart option to exist in real life too. This is why I like Japan so much. And btw, where is Taniyama-san? She should show up more. And please bring more Hinako-chan wearing cheongsam! She looks kawaii in it! And hire Yayoi in so I can see her wear that blue cheongsam LMFAO! Btw, can anyone actually tell me how to bbcode the images I can post? https://myanimelist.net/info.php?go=bbcode doesn't help AT ALL!

Where's my cycling in my cute girls and bikes show.
Ami has to break her wallet again. This time instead of counting cars, Ami has to work as a maid (moe moe kyun and everything).
Nice to see Hinako's cute fangs runs in the family.
Now I ask you the important question, Chinese dress or Maid outfit?
I'll ask you a second question, which restaurant has better costomers?

And we see the girls working at various jobs, and the shenanigans from working at said jobs. This was a fun episode despite the major lack of actual bikes and cycling compared to previous, but I don't mind that. I'm here for the characters, not the bikes. But like, those guys are total creeps. Ami better be getting payed well for that.

Anyway, I'm really dang happy I decided to watch this, so far, this has been far more enjoyable than Bakuon!! was in literally every single way except in fan service, which I can live happily with cause these girls are adorable. It's a shame there seems to be problems with production considering the delays and such.

I noted this in our cute girls doing cute things club (which you should join if you like cute girls doing cute things), but Long Riders is testing my grading scale - how high a grade can I justify when one aspect of the show is as broken as this series' animation? How much do I have to love a show (and I love this show a ton) for it to just not matter?

This episode is on the short-list for my favorite single episode of the year for any show, or it would be, if the faces weren't off-model 2 out of every 5 frames.

Tie this with the recap announcement asianmikepwn is talking about and we can guess the animation team is stumbling hard. Hopefully they at least fix the animation for the BD.

Probably the best episode so far, and it didn't even have any cycling in it.
I don't really mind about the animation, I enjoyed it regardless and they still did a pretty good job for most of the scene. What are you guys saying? (Yeah, probably because I've seen much worse..)

That Ami serving scene is very well-done! Her voice is lovely in that scene! Based Nao Touyama single-handedly carry this anime!

.... And another delay for the next episode. I swear to God if this one got delayed for another season like Regalia did...

Ami & Hinako parts were good, cute dresses.
Giant, Pinarello, Ami's sis using galaxy s5.
Price after sales comparable to bikes here, but no pedals...

Actas get your act together, it's been years like this. Last scene the long shots just walking could've been done in 3s instead of 2s, would've saved themselves money & perhaps drawn a bit better.

The quality failures are so painful to watch. I used to ride like this, so finding a manga/anime about it is like a dream-come-true (it's even inspired me to try to return to "club riding"). To see the show burdened with mistake after mistake ... hurts.

Having said that: looking forward to seeing Ami take possession of her new Focus Culebro (^_^).

I am disappointed! Not so much for the caratère interim narrative, and even for the much fanservice that you saw; but for the mediocre quality of the drawings. This anime series would also be cute and fun, but you can not go on like this. Sympathetic characters so far, and even if you are not able yet well to mix cycling as a sport, the story of Ami, however, is the vision of this series quite pleasant. I hope they can improve the quality of the drawings.
Hinako is fun with the mandarin dress.

LOL the maid cafe scene with the food spell, when I went to a maid cafe in Akiba the maid did literally the exact same thing, except she said "nyan nyan kyuuun~~" then she made me do it too, they recreated that experience so well LOL

Also the selfie with the maid LOL

An episode that for this time goes beyond the cycling argument, to devote himself solely to the facetious and indirectly also to show the character of the characters, in fact we discover how much Yayoi is manipulative, Hinako vengeful and Aoi anxious and protector towards Ami. Very funny and relaxing story, the protagonist Ami no longer complains, yay! Too bad that the drawings are so horrible, they almost make me want to gouge out my eyes so as not to see how they are ruining an anime, which is certainly not a masterpiece, but not so low as to deserve such treatment. I open a funny parenthesis on the character of Paca-san: poor thing, will having to wear that hat going to be tough in the summer months, or are you provided with a summer uniform for those months? Headdress included? XD

That alpaca girl is hilarious.

Yep, bikes and all their parts can be surprisingly expensive.

Hinako looked cute in a Chinese dress. :3

Aww, maid Ami.

Lol at all her reactions in this episode.

Ami's manager likes clumsy maids. x3

That heart spell was cute. <3
