| Like the "Reiko wants to climb Mount Fuji on her Cub" episode, the sheer recklessness and stupidity on display here really bothers me: besides their helmets, they're wearing no safety gear or anything while doing jumps and all sorts else yet they fall time and time again without taking any damage whatsoever. Hell, apparently the cold no longer exists either given they spent much of their time playing in the snow without wearing coats or anything; kinda funny coming off the back of last episode when they were so concerned about how cold it was getting. Also, it feels super out of character for Koguma to agree to this sort of recklessness, as she's nowhere near as foolhardy and impulsive as Reiko has shown herself to be. As for Shii getting herself into an accident on her Moulton, that's no real surprise and is probably the most realistic part of this episode, as it's much harder to prepare a bicycle for that sort of weather than an actual motorbike and we saw Koguma struggling with the snow in places even after getting the chains on her tyres. Of course, she likely won't actually have any serious injuries because apparently everyone in this show is immune to any sort of injury whatsoever, but if she does I hope they don't say something tone deaf like "oh, if you had a Cub instead you wouldn't have gotten hurt or in an accident at all". A second small misstep for this series. |

You're not wrong, but remember: this is a glorified Honda commercial. Of course they want to make riding a Cub seem exciting and free. And it's funny how each episode more and more junk gets added to their Cubs. If you watch the show from the perspective of it playing in the waiting room at some Honda dealership, then it all makes sense. |
| Still boring and nonsensical, now they want to add a little drama into the mix? This show was at 50 kmh throughout and now it suddenly went full throttle lol... It truly is a pandering Honda commercial, sigh... Nothing stands out in this crappy series, bland cast, bland setting, bland color animation and color palette. A shame. |
| this anime made me feel like they would like me to use my bike (since I can't drive motor/cub) that I've been not using for a years now, but I can't since we can't go outside though I hope I can use it soon to explore our places even there's no snow here xc and I hope Shii is fine in the next episode also another wholesome episode that made my day! |

| glad it was anime or else the three would have died already. |
| nice to see the 2 girls having so much fun at the snow and didn't even mind falling so many times on their cubs! lolz all of a sudden... omg! what happened to Shii-chan!?!? i was bit caught unguarded and really surprised there!! 5/5. |
 |
| the OSTs are really great and they used it well in this episode. |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| that last scene caught me off guard damn, I knew someone would get in an accident but I didn’t expect it to be her |
 |
| playing in the snow with their super cub. accident looks serious. Obviously, coffee girl would survive with plot armor, but still curious on how Koguma would come to rescue her. |
| I was multitasking while watching this peaceful anime until I heard "help me..". it caught me off guard wtf. poor smol girl got into an accident :( |
  |
| Koguma better hurry and save Shii |
| This escalated quicky. In the next episode we will get to see the funeral of Shii-chan but before that how her cold body had been draged by the super cub through the forest, because the super cub is such a great motorycle that you could drag even dead bodies through a snowy forest trail with the help of them. What a great advertisment we have here. |

I really can't understand why people are still watching with this mindset. If the characters followed the rules all the time would feel "false" tor me, that they don't makes them feel more.. "human". Makes me a bit sad that the moment of peak happiness arrives for the character, the climax of the series in a sense, and all that a lot of people can pay attention to is anime physics and be shocked. Why wouldn't the two remove the helmets and jackets? Isn't only natural? After so many time thinking and searching things to put on their cubs and their bodies because of the income snow they remove most of it to play in the snow! Guys, hello?! Feel free and laugh and not care! This anime is very quiet but it's not emotionless, on the contrary, is full of emotions! |
 |
| This anime is to wholesome. None of us deserve this |
| Wasn't expecting a cliffhanger in this anime lmao, wouldn't have happened if she had a Cub kappa. |
 |
| Had a feeling Shii was gonna be hurt when she was calling Koguma late at night. She must be really messed up if her first action is call for help instead of getting out of the water or at least sitting up. Though idk if this show will really care that much about logic. |

What a great advertisment we have here. that would be a fine advertisement. on the usefulness of cub. |
| Man, the ep pulled a jebait on me with that ending after the unfiltered joy Koguma managed to display during the snow biking bit. I mean, that much cold plus being in running water, Shii is in for a bad time. Super Cub giveth, Super Cub taketh. I guess the take away from this is: you wouldn't freeze to death in a ditch during a winter night if only you had given Honda your money and got yourself a Cub. Is this the late stage capitalism everyone talks about? |
 |
| What I learned this episode: - Super Cub = snowmobile - Don't go mountain biking with a road bike in winter at night. |
| Even though I though the same as many people, I actually do not care if they are falling from the bikes that way. My biggest concern is "THAT IS COLD, LIKE, REALLY COLD". Won't be surprised if next episode both are sick. It's actually kinda comic that everyone falls but no one gets hurt. Even Shii is more scared and cold (specially because she fell into the water) that injured. But not concerned to the point that I think the show is unwatchable or something like that. Neither would call it bullshit. Fiction is fiction. I actually think this is really good and those moments are nice to build up the characters a bit. It's not the first time I see Koguma and Reiko sharing food while thinking "C'mon girls just marry already". Good friends, but easy to ship. |

Is this the late stage capitalism everyone talks about? good one. That made me laugh so hard. xD yeah, if only she had a cub.. she would not be in a ditch, and dying like a dog. just a few more episode to go. I wonder if this accident make her want to buy a cub? |
| Oh, Koguma... Sees snow - nope, no riding in this. Sees photo - be right there! :D Fun day in the snow with the new chains after that. Drawing penises Riding around on a pure untouched snowfield, catching a cold by heating up so much with all the fun that the warm clothes come off, sharing food and drink with the wife without getting embarrassed by the indirect kisses any longer... Then some coffee at Shii-chan's place after that. And another coffee date the next day. And all was well until the end of the episode turned darker again, but this time for Shii... Time to rescue her the next time. |
 |
| That forest ride thing was so idiotic. There will be all sorts of invisible holes, ditches, stumps, rocks and how knows what under that snow cover that your front tire will hit or sink into and send you over the windshield. edit: and the clothes. In real life, they'd be riding in freezing weather in wet clothes after all those crashes and dicking around in the snow. |

| I really hope Shii is alright :( She must be freezing in that lake, hope Koguma finds her. |

drainodraino said: I kinda laughed when Shii crashed. obviously, it's horrible that it happened but it was only a few minutes prior where Reiko and Koguma were bike jumping with no helmets and drove away like brand new like nothing happened seemed very odd and situationally funny to me. Still praying for Shii though. Stay strong little Italy! Most accidents are stupid and senseless and come out of nowhere with no buildup, so in that sense, it was very realistic. And yeah, they were taking liberties with the crashing in the field, but they were doing it in a flat open field in the daytime with deep snow to fall into and they were kind of expecting to fall. But yeah Shii is in a real bad spot, especially if she can't move well enough to get out of the water. Koguma needs to do a lot of things and make some calls VERY quickly before hypothermia sets in. |
| Comfy ad fun first part. Loved how they found out a way to ride in the snow using those chains. I think I read it somewhere about it. No! Shii-chan! I know going into those trails seems dangerous. Hopefully Nogami and the others will rescue her. |
| My little angels playing around in the snow. And there were some more indirect lesbian kissing,,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES Shii is down! And dont call the emergency number. She rather call her heroine and future wife Koguma. Lesbian to the rescue!!  |

| A late, unexpected phone-call? I instantly went "oh shit!" mode, and was quickly proven my intuition wasn't wrong. There's no way this turns dark though, right??? |

 |
| this episode's lesson folks: buy and drive a super cub or else you hurt yourself by crashing into a fucking hole |
 |
| What a surprise to see the girls play in the snow, those chains were the big difference, the end of the chapter was a surprise too |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
| The chapter has been great, The scene of Koguma and Reiko in the snow has been very nice and the view of the background, AMAZING. Very good chapter. Now...PLEASE LET SHII BE WELL, PLEASE. |
| Great episode, the snow play sequence was a lot of fun. Poor Shii-chan, she better not let this break her confidence. I'm sure she'll be okay. |
 |
| Same level of stupidity as the Fuji-san episode. Also lovely how Shii-chans parents don't care at all that she isnt back at home by nightfall. |
 |
| Meanwhile, I actually find Shii's entire existence in the show just a bit annoying right now. Like she should honestly just have her own show and I would watch it, but she feels oddly out of place here. Her goals, family dynamic, and everything just feels like a waste here. She has problems that it just feels like they're not going to properly sort out in the few episodes they have left-- and they really shouldn't sort them out because it seems like it'd just be rushed at this point. They even kinda told us what she's about instead of showing. Like if she had her own show, it would have been so satisfying to see her actually doing (not just biking to) the things Koguma described that she does like going around trying to make her place Italian-- which brings in a great topic of space and its importance to each person as we've gotten a glimpse of in the shop itself seeing how each space has a different feel for both the mom and dad. That's instead of... well, just letting Koguma describe that and just kinda doing a brief show of what she found.;; Very easily could have been its own very cute anime (a food anime at that!). But now it just seems like this is going to be another opportunity to put the Super Cub on display in some way?? Oh well, I guess... |
| I didn't know chains for wheels existed, learned something new here. Seeing Reiko and Koguma happily play in the snow makes me happy :) ...but damn that end ...poor Shii |
 |
| This show is getting extra points for classical music soundtrack. This episode Chopin nocturne op. 9 no. 2 and Liszt Consolation no.3. |
| This anime has so many classical music pieces I like.. ... And.. Such ending.. |
