| It took her far too long to thank the man at Shino's. Rei_Libris said: It was kinda ok. Loved the atmosphere and the relaxing feeling. However the cgi really breaks the beautiful backgrounds and I wouldn't mind if the main character could stop making sexual noises every two minutes. I assure you it is possible to stretch without moaning. OK!! I thought it was just me. There's not much talking and way too much moaning and heavy breathing. |
| I think it’s already better than Yuru camp, probably because I have a soft spot for automotive stuff. It’s really sweet how much she cares for her Honda. |

| Only one episode in and I'm already learning about fuel gauges on old motorcycles. We've only met one main character so far, but it's interesting to see how no-one has any of the typical anime hair colors. Maybe Reiko will come in and light things up with some pink! [Edit]: Maybe not, judging from the poster on the entry. Stark700 said: Exquisitely crafted post about this episode. Did you grab the description from the website?I think Koguma is adorable, especially with her timid personality. From the first episode, we get to see her bike, which is going to be very important in her life. Her personality might have to get some time to get used to imo. However, I think she's a very friendly person, just not to easy to open up to others. |

| Okay, I really love this first episode, everything about it, also dam 3 people died before of that motorcycle, I really want to know the backstory of it soon. Other then that, great start from this anime, looking forward to the future episodes. |

| So calming and relaxing, I like the art style but some CGI kinda bother me, hope it better in the next episodes. |

ProofByColor said: Bruh I'm so glad I choose to watch this. So chill. I love the sound design and choice of classical music. For those interested, the classical themes in this episode are: - Debussy: Arabesque No. 1 - Debussy: Suite bergamasque, L.75: III. Clair de lune |

Rose_Player said: I hope there's no car accident arc I agree I really hope like she doesnt get in an accident or at least not a bad one. Maybe it'll end with her being another tally on the moped's kill count. hope not though |
I didn't like the stiff CGI either, but at the time I thought that this bit was clever: By making her go downhill here they avoided having to animate her legs, which must be a pain, CGI or no CGI. Now that I see it again though, I think that she might easily have been killed if truck-kun had been around. Perhaps they didn't have enough budget to make her stop and look, so they decided to take a chance. |

People who just want to look at landscapes and listen to elevator music? I guess at least it's not full of the main character's internal narration. You definitely can't say that there's too much talking here, exposition or otherwise. You don't need much when you're just going to be putting up montage after montage of biking around the village. And the big crisis at the end? She ran out of gas and didn't realize it. General Hospital eat your heart out. I'm honestly not sure what else there even is to say. This could have easily been a five minute episode on length of content, but I'm pretty sure the "nothing happens, tune out your brain and let twenty minutes of your finite life pass by in a blur" is the point. But then just go listen to some dumb ASMR thing on YouTube if that's your bag. God only knows how they stretch this out to an entire season. Usually these kinds of shows are just vehicles for "cute girls doing nothing," but this one seems to be much more focused on selling Honda motorcycles… by looking at shots of landscapes. Not the strangest advertisement for a motor vehicle I've ever seen, but I doubt the most effective. Do you enjoy living like that? Being mad all the time? |
| was really looking forward to this show, and it didn't disappoint one bit |
| It was a relaxing and stress-free anime! 😌 Combination of beautiful backgrounds and musical pieces from "Claude Debussy" becomes Super Cub.=🎼+🌄 The only problem was CGI, which disappointed me a little. |

It is not supposed to be some sort of epic story like SNK, but just a comfy, plotless CGDCT anime. Also, I think that Koguma has a lot of potential for character development anyway. Right now she is on the emotional bottom and at the verge of depression due to lonliness and lack of goals other than just existing. Seeing her discovering a passion is a real godsend. Need to protect that smile. |

EvidenceLT said: That was a really relaxing episode, this show will definitely fill the void Yuru camp left. I genuinely love Koguma smiling face c:  I definitely got Yuru Camp vibes from this first episode too! I'm not 100% sure why, but even though it becomes more colorful and happy in the latter half of this episode, I felt sad throughout the whole thing. Also, the animation is pretty amazing. The detail put into the opening few minutes of the episode were super impressive and I think it's going to be a great series. |

| This feels like it's going to be a cross between Yuru Camp and Kino's Journey. Don't ask why, it just seems so to me. So far, very relaxing. |
       |
| damn I wasn’t expecting this to be as chill as it was, i’m excited to see how she meets her friends though (judging from the cover) |
 |
| Very nice calm show for spring :) Girl all alone "Girl with nothing", all gray days on the school alone... super cub to come help, and bring smile to her face :) |

| Aww I loved this. It's so relaxing and heartwarming and I think the overall idea of the anime is really sweet. I'll definitely have something to look forward to on Wednesdays now |
 |
| I really really liked this episode. The scene where she sits on the bike for the first time and suddenly everything is more colourful made me gasp, I didn't notice how gray everything was before. I could feel how lonely she was, I also found myself smiling with her whenever she was happy about the bike. Overall this episode left an impression on me and it wasn't at all what I was expecting, I look forward to next week. |
 “I used to think of you as my soulmate.” “I still am.” |
| This is so good wtf. I really want to see more of this in the future. I liked how simple this is put it is going places. I am surprised to see it is adapted from a light novel too. I thought this was an original. The OST needs to exist more and the CGI isn't particularly appealing, but overall, this is good. Very good. |
| Really good, somehow I did not expect this to be this good. Surprisingly melancholic atmosphere and tone for what I thought was going to be a straight forward SoL type of show. Despite the tone, there is something really compelling about the way it was presented. It gets you invested in her monotonic life of nothing and then they hit you with the moment she got her bike and her world lights up. Absolutely beautiful, easily my favorite part of the episode was how the show becomes so much more colorful once the bike started up. Ton of expression on the main character's face which is great, not sure if they mentioned her name cause I didn't catch it and looked it up now. My only question was how she getting money to stay in that apartment and paying for her basic needs but as someone else mentioned on the first page, looks like Japan has a support system for this kind of situation. |

| My Most Awaited Anime of the Season... and...........OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The simplicity of the Series... is just Perfect! So Simple, So Quiet, So Pure.... just Precious.. 5/5 Episode... I Loved the way they INTENSIFIED the colors when the Cub's engine was turned-On for the first time...!!! Right now this is a 10 of 10 for me... Just Beautiful. |
| A decent first episode. But my angel Koguma really needs some cute girlfriends she can flirt with. Hopefully more girls will join soon And I got some minor Yuri vibes. A girl in Koguma class is a big fan of another girl . Awwwwww are you a little lesbian honey, I think you are,,,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEES  |

Being mad all the time? hurts to see Clair de lune labeled as elevator music was a interesting choice to say the least, there really wasn't anything bad about this to dislike it that much but eh as for the show im not sure i was really expecting such a isolating depressed tone for a opening in what i guess you could call it a CGDCT but i guess the focus was to show our mc that really is down but added colour to her life as we saw once she got the club, what i liked so far was the amount of detail not just in the backgrounds but stuff like her grinning every time she looks at her new bike we've all had that shiny new toy we love to just look at. i' like what i saw hoping we can reach more comfy vibes once she gets some friends because this falls more in line with something like Tamayura than Laid back camp which is nothing but up beat chill vibes |
 |
| This womans has some refined taste in music. Fit quite well in the background and especially at the beginning. So yeah, this is for sure a replacement to NNB and Yuru Camp, I can already feel it. Relaxing, beautiful background, CG is totally fine, and cute characters. This is about to bright up my Wednesdays like NNB and Yuru have done for my Thursdays and Sundays. |
| I had some expectations on this anime only because I liked the name. I enjoyed the first episode so much! |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| Somehow there was a character registration named Reiko in the credits at the end. Probably she would be the girl reading English text book in this episode and become protagonist's friend in the next episode, considering the sub title. |
| Relaxing episode, I liked how the colours were used especially, giving it a different theme to the anime. Also, it kinda gives me a Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou vibe. Overall, a very nice episode. |
| interesting sol. this episode is literally just a cute girl and her new bike. there's nothing amazing or special about it but i think thats what made it great. its so simple that im captivated by it. when she couldn't turn on the engine it made me nervous, and when she could it gave me relief. im actually so surprised on how many emotions i felt while watching this lol. animation is also pretty good. im not used to the cgi but that doesn't mean its bad, im just not used to it yet. that little part where the animation started getting more colorful after the first time she started her engine was also a great touch. |
| i'm gonna watch 4+ hours of advertisement just because there's an anime girl in it |
 |
| Super relaxing and cute anime, I am gonna keep watching! |
| this is this seasons sleeper im telling you |
 |
| One of the best premiers so far this season! It's so relaxing and enticing that it sucks you in. It's simple and earnest in the best way! I'm excited to see where Koguma's cub ends up taking her. |
 |
| BEsides the CGI, it is a really nice looking anime, I am very glad that I picked it! |
| I've been craving another motorcycle anime since Bakuon and it's finally here. I'm loving it. |
| I Love the 1st episode, and will be looking forward for more. I can relate with her reactions for having a bike, it was so refreshing. For having an automatic/dull life to having her Super Clun motorbike will bring colors, new adventure and even more friends. |
 |
This episode has many subtle and authentic experiences if you have ever owned a older motorcycle. 1) When she sat down and she felt that whoosh of freedom and the bike clicked with her. I've seen people experience it with cars to. But I felt like I connected a little with the character. 2) Running out of gas. My first Honda didn't even have a fuel gauge. And I think every biker has gone through the "Please, please start and don't strand me here" 3) Cars getting a little too close and scaring the heck out of you. 4) Putting along until you get used to it and learning how to shift. 5) Making excuses just to go out and ride somewhere. I can't wait to see what the next episode holds. |
| @Cbr_Star Very true, a great example of visual storytelling with minimal dialogue. |
| Nice, another relaxing SoL anime to add to my list, great first episode. |

| This really reminds me of One Off but Honda Giorno Edit: Just rewatched and I can say that this show has a Junichi Satou level of iyashikei. |

| Great start. Loved the atmosphere of the show. So quiet and relaxing. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Now that's a relaxing yet amazing pilot episode. Would you look at how Kogu looks her cub as her baby,she's so kawaii. And that easter egg,when the color became more alive after she first started her cub engine. Afff ~ Wanna see where this series go. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
