Damn, I really like the realistic backgrounds of this episode, in particular to show the cold Winter season.

This is Koguma and the club's chance to enjoy such a weather and of course, they still have to maintain their bikes to make sure they're working properly. Pretty cool episode, no pun intended.

This was the first snow since Koguma started riding the Cub, the act of suicide drove a cub into a snowy mountain lmao. They have fun with their cub in winter.

Poor Shii, I hope she's okay.

Driving in the snow on a bike is the one thing i haven't done simply because of the risks involved and i have to say that the girls are brave.
It's also a miracle they didn't get sick driving in their shirts.

It seems Chii taking her shortcut didn't come without risks either and i hope they will help her in time before something happens to her.

Reiko and Koguma's funny time with their cub in the snow was great, I love how relaxing was this episode... but seriously that end with Shii.... it's heartbreaking, she probably broke her bike and she seems to be injured, I really feel bad now, what a sudden change of mood

Man.. it's been snowing there for the girls and riding a cub in such conditions can be really tough and scary. Injuries can be a little worrying. But, luckily Koguma and Reiko both found the chain tires to put on their respective cubs which made it easy for them to ride their cubs.

This is the first time I saw Koguma having this much fun and she was so happy. The fluffy snow did allow them to fall over it without getting injured. They fell quite a few times. Then, the snow fight. They really had a lot of fun. Poor Shii, she fell or something and she wants help. I hope she's alright. :(

It's December and the Winter season, as per the arrangements for protection against the brutal cold weather. Shii-chan, still riding her trusty Alex Moulton bicycle, is also doing well. With this, we start Volume 5 of the manga adaptation.

Unfortunately, while the Winter weather means that while Koguma and Reiko can't ride their current Cubs in the outside condition, with a bit of fortunate luck to find something interesting to do, Reiko offers her a suggestion to fix tire chains onto their Cubs for extra safety and protection so that their Cubs can still ride the same.

Going off-road to see the mountainous snow views is a breeze, as is both girls happily bobsledding their Cubs down the slope of snow with no fear of getting injured with the heap of snow cushioning the damage, and not forgetting snowball throwing, all in the name of fun.

Back to Shii-chan's diner, and more coffee served, would be nice if either girl packed the small and versatile Shii-chan into their boxes for tease. Being out to town to collect stuff along the narrow Cat Trail, the family diner is slowly turning Italian. Alas, the cold weather attempts to bring another casualty, to Shii. Hopefully she's OK, and she needs rescuing, AND FAST.

Heartstrings a pounding.

Without those snow chains, riding on a snow-covered road is very dangerous. Thankfully, Reiko got them for both herself and Koguma.
The snowy mountain scenery was very beautiful. It was looking pretty fun for both of them riding and playing in the snow mountain. The huge mountain in the background is supposed to be Mt. Kaikoma.

Shii got in an accident, I really hope she is okay πŸ™. Koguma and Reiko need to go to rescue her as soon as possible.

MY GODDESS! Mother premonition never fails!
First time I saw her going that path I thought if it was dangerous. Second time I was sure it was dangerous, in the middle of winter, with the danger of snow.
Then at the cafe they mentioned the danger of animals... I already knew but I was praying that they wouldn't had the audacity of killer Shii, and do this specially to make Koguma suffer!
During the conversation between Koguma, Reiko and Shii's father you can see Koguma discovering something new. That not only her life changed in these last months, it changed so much to the point that she can be a light in someone's life. By immediately following that by make this influence lead to someone's death would be too cruel...

But I guess it's ok, because this still needs to work as a advertisement they just use this do show that Super Cub SAVES LIVES ISN'T AMAZING! BUY ONE NOW!

I agree, what a realistic background.

I enjoyed watching them enjoy the snow season, they really had a lot of fun. Adorable. And of course, my yuri goggles spotted those lovey dovey moments. Pfftt~

Poor Shii, Ive been wondering why its dinner time and Shii's not there to send them off. I know she'll be fine though.
I guess Kogu's gonna call her girlfriend and save Shii.

At last, the snow has arrived and you can tell that Koguma had to work extra hard just to drive to Reiko's house. Thanks to Reiko's scavenging skills, she got herself two sets of snow chains for their cubs.

With their off-roading ability drastically improved, Reiko took Koguma to an open snowy plain further up in the mountains and for the next few minutes, both girls were having a lot of fun driving their Cubs in the snow. Even though they did crash a few times, the snow cushioned their falls easily, which helps that they weren't going too fast in the first place.

Plus, I have to give Koguma a big thumbs up when Reiko started bombarding her with snowballs. Rather than make snowballs herself, she started her Cub and did a long burnout by holding onto her front brakes and flooring it so that the rear wheel spins while stationary, just so she could cause a constant spray of snow to get back at Reiko. Talk about a 500 IQ move! XD

Of course, those who'd rather see more responsible driving would be appalled by this and, as a few posts above me shows, that this was leaning on the more reckless side, but honestly, this is nothing more than a walk in a quiet park compared to Reiko's Mt Fuji rallying a while back and that was FAR more dangerous than this. Here, they have the respective winter gear on themselves and their Cubs while driving on soft snow. In terms of a series where the main goal is to advertise Honda and their bikes, doing things the responsible way for 12 episodes would get far more boring very quickly. I'd know what to choose if I had to pick between that scenario and what we already have.

With that aside, the one who was properly unprepared for the weather was Shii. I do like how she's gone out of her way on improving the Italian experience of the cafe, but her Moultan bicycle wasn't prepared for the weather at all.

And sadly, the worse case scenario happened when Koguma got a call from Shii, asking for her help. Thanks to the shortcut Shii used, she must've lost grip somewhere down that trail and fell into the icy river. I guess her phone was in her left pocket, as if that got ruined by the river, then she would be VERY screwed.

I do look forward to seeing how Koguma will try and rescue Shii. Hopefully Shii will be okay...

It's a shame that most people are really missing the forest for the trees.

Yes, it's a commercial for Honda, and..? It's a very good one, it sells the product more by being good, even with those comments by Koguma because in the context of the story it makes sense for her to think that way.

I see many people complained and paying attention to details that are irrelevant for the story, technicalities. Despite being a Cub commercial this is first and foremost a psychological story about Koguma. It's all about her state of mind, everything else comes second. I'm seeing a lot of people not understanding this and missing the point of every episode even with the character doing the favor of spelling most of it with her monologues.
A good example is episode 5. It's as much a Koguma's episode as it is a Reiko's episode, maybe even more. Because it shows us a bit about Reiko to tell us more about Koguma. But people couldn't get what was "climbing the mountain" about.

But I guess that I can't complain also.
It's still an anime for everyone, but not everyone will appreciate everything it has to offer.

Absolutely loved this episode! Never thought I'd see a cliffhanger from this series lol

My only nitpick is that some of the snow scenes are pretty unrealistic, especially when Reiko rolls off her Cub. How the heck did she make that rectangular shape in the snow??

Can't wait for next week's episode :)

Well winter season ended but before that, they played in the snow with their bikes. And a snowball fight.. Pretty wholesome episode until the end..
Hopefully she'll be able to save her.

Exactly! I don't know why people are complaining, this whole thing makes total sense.

Though if they blame it on Shii not using a motorcycle, that would be kind of dumb. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Nothing more than praise for Shii-chan cycling in an uphill area like this. That smoll girl does wonders on that bicycle. :D

Ah yes, snow. It's either a nightmare or a blessing when driving/cycling on two wheels. It can be incredibly fun but also damn tricky. Downhill is by far the worst as Koguma showed us by keeping her foot to the ground when going down.

I didn't expect them to do that in the snow. Pretty reckless if you ask me, it was fun to watch though. I do wonder that they didn't have it cold at all when falling off their Cubs into the snow like that.

Reiko and Koguma teasing Shii-chan on her height, being able to fit in their Cub's storage, that was too funny!

Ayo, what is that cliffhanger? D: Shii-chan fell into a ice cold river (creek) next to that cat trail? She better be okay. Don't scare me like this in such a lighthearted show. Jeez. So glad she managed to ring up Koguma. This could have been very bad.

The type of road does impact things.
Trails such as Shii went down tend to have a surface of gravel, possibly just bark fragments.
They also tend to be narrower, and thus less room for a safe landing if you do slip.
At least that's the case with the trails like that I've been down myself, in the US PNW.
Much more likely to have steep drop-offs without guard rails. Closed to all motorized vehicular traffic for good reasons.

I had been concerned that there had been no mention of Shii having returned prior to their leaving the diner; I had hoped that wasn't foreshadowing.

Her laying like that in the stream is a concern as well; that she's still on her side would indicate injuries of some kind, not unexpected given how far she may have fallen.
Just be glad this is set in the current period; if it had taken place when I was their age, well, cell phones didn't exist. How long it took her to get her phone out would also be of concern.

They know she's alive, they know she's in trouble, they suspect which trail she'd have been travelling on (working on the presumption it occurred on her return trip).

That was kinda stupid Koguma saw Shii early on, when they left the cafe was already night and nobody bothered to wonder "why is Shii taking too long?" I hope that in the original Koguma went to the "cat's trail" instead of waiting for a phone call, it was just stupid.

Man, i wish i have a snowy field like that too here. Cause it looks so fun riding a cub like that, no matter how much the risk factors endangered you while having those fun ride. At least its fun, right? Their cubs must be had some superpower thing for not getting any injury under those circumstances. Understandable.

Well, as expected, a lot of installation. Its obvious that they will used those tire chains, and more shield installed at a certain places of their cubs, the more emphasized their determination to fit in with the extreme winter weather. The cold temperatures even forced Koguma to buy some other thick outfit, which is very needed, and too bad the petite one really overworking herself.

As the darkness comes through, i already knew something bad will arrived, and its her getting those accident. Well, left aside the strange situations around her, including her weird pose-maybe her bone was broken, i dunno-, lets see how well Koguma reacted over those situations on her, while the title kinda weird with how its cliffhanged....

Fantastic and comfy episode... up until that ending. Shii-chan no! I am sure she'll be fine as this is our wholesome comfy slice of life show but still, a man can worry. That white snowy plain was beautiful, Koguma's cub withstanding all those jumps is questionable but who cares, that was fun. Always feels good to see Koguma smiling and this is probably the most fun she ever had. That piano soundtrack at the beginning was awesome though. Really looking forward to the next episode.
