Aye, sharing food and enjoying life together, even on such a cold day. This show tackles a lifestyle that is quite realistic to watch.

Seems that cafe is also becoming a central hub for the main cast in recent episodes.

Seems driving in the cold is taking it's toll on the girls, tho if the are willing to spend the money they could get some really good winter gear that keeps them warm on a bike.
I drive my bike during winter and it's doable when it's cold you just need to watch out when it gets slippery.

Reiko's reactions to the windshield where funny.

Another cold/winter episode I watch while the sun is melting my face IRL
The wool jacket/socks idea was really interesting, and for the windshield actually I don't think it looks ridiculous, it's pretty cool on the Cub

The passing seasons are felt more strongly on the Super Cub, as is the feeling of walking on ice in the brittle cold weather.

Shii-chan naturally inserting into the Cubs' lunchtime hits the heart in an "AWWW" way though. But Reiko thinking of stuffing Shii into the box of her Hunter Cub for replenishments...erm...OK, hold up.

It's back to Shii-chan's family diner, and some inner winter wear to keep them warm, such as abrasive wool that needs to be handled specially when washing it. It's too big for Koguma though, so it's back to school to get it carefully sorted out for the 3 girls, cut in size and for various uses since it's very valuable.

The girls are A-OK with their winter wear, but for their Cubs it's strongly essential to have protection a.k.a windshields. Shii-chan's teas and coffees are wildly uncommon though, those made with alcohol is a totally different variant that still keeps them warm. It's better to have one ugly shield than not to have, at least it's user-upgradeable and provides some good protection.

At the very least, both Koguma and Reiko have nothing to fear of the Winter colds now.

The autumn can be really cold and harsh by the end and our girls are feeling the same way. It's cute to see Shii getting more and more involved with the girls. They make a nice group of three.

Thanks to Shii's father, all three of them got abrasive wool items for their respective needs. Reiko and Koguma finally managed to install the windshields on their cub. They looked really happy. What I can see of Shii, she might buy a cub soon as well. She wants to hang out with them more.

Driving a bike in the cold finally catching up to the girls. Definitely need that windshield if they wanna continue riding for the next few months. Shoutout to the cafe owners for helping them out.

As much as I love the show, I still can’t get over how the fuck the main girl supports herself. Like she’s living alone in an apartment, who’s paying the bills, food, rent etc? She’s in high school so she should have some type of guardian appointed by the state..

Why do I feel so happy after watching a Super Cub episode?

It feels like all my problems don't matter anymore.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Did anyone else notice how Koguma and Reiko changed a bit in personality? Reiko seemed like a tsundere at first that managed to open up to Koguma eventually, now Koguma is the one acting all tsundere with Shii, I also dislike when she leaves her hanging for instance she doesn't even say "see ya" when she leaves on her bike no wonder Shii kinda feel left out.

Also, will we be seeing Shii buying that new cub? Would be a good idea for Koguma and Reiko put their hand to work to help a friend and show how much they learnt about Cubs.

Good episode and very beautiful art and visuals and shii is so cute and lol Koguma's personality seems a bit changed though I don't like how she leaves shii hanging and makes most of her life related to only the cub instead of her meeting the people through the cub, wish she would open up to other people like she does with Reiko

Koguma and Reiko are both being jerks to Shii right now, tbh. It feels like the writers know what they're doing with the characterisations so I expect that'll develop in some direction.

Some people have been saying this show isn't funny... but the funny moments are just easy to miss if you look the wrong way because the punchlines aren't underlined at all. In this episode's intro Koguma tells us in a neutral detached voiceover how she is now "able to feel the seasons more deeply than before", and right then we see her grimacing from the cold on her bike, which makes a hilarious dissonance with the voiceover. And then Koguma's expression when Shii shows her that dead sheep cosplay outfit.

The winter is coming. The girls really got a lot of thought before buying those necessary thing, Windshield. Realistic enough to their own problems, i see. But, they still brought it out, so its kinda amused me with all of their acts, for a secs, ngl.

Well, in the other hands, its nice seeing Shii slowly got attached to the girls relations well enough. Even she decided to gave them her those wool clothes to be made as their winter gears. However, i assume, she still had the trouble entering their conversation, cause she still lack of cub experience to talk about. I really hope its not a big deal. So, lets see their next interaction, when the snow really comes true....

Reiko idea of wanting to put Shii inside her luggage container on her Hunter Cub was funny. Mind you, the idea itself is rather tempting if I was in her position.

It might not be Winter yet, but the cold has already made its arrival. Not only does it take few attempts for Koguma to start up her Cub now due to the cold weather, but simply driving to school while dealing with the wind chill is rather brutal (funny grimacing expression, though!), so she and Reiko had to think of what they really wanted to help prepare themselves up for the upcoming Winter weather.

Thanks to Shii and her father, they were able to use her woolly jumper for jacket lining for Koguma, socks for Reiko and a Shii used her portion to keep her flask warm. Not just that, but Reiko took Koguma to her former workplace that had a windshield on her Super Cub, which ultimately convinced Reiko and Koguma to buy one respectively. I do love Koguma's face as she confidently drove up to her 60kph limiter, with a smile on her face. =)

It was really good to see Reiko and Koguma putting in the effort to prepare themselves and their cubs, as well as how much more social both of them are to other people. However, I did feel bad for Shii for being a bit left out at times. It doesn't mean that Koguma and Reiko were jerks or anything, as that would be a rather poor assumption to make and both girls don't have any ill will against her. At this rate, I think this will push Shii into getting a Super Cub for herself even more now than ever before.

Either way, the preparation for Winter was the easy bit. The hard part is still to come. How will Koguma handle snow and ice on the roads? Next week's episode will certainly be an interesting one.

Well they finally beat winter.. I guess lol. You know you'd think Reiko might have dealt with these things in the past, but I guess she just toughed it out.

Funny it seems Shii keeps getting left behind. Feel like that is something that will be addressed in a coming ep.

Damn the memories I had when I was hanging out with my friends out in the cold eating a hot lunch was the good old days. They are so cute together and despite not wanting to buy the windshield they did it anyways. Another cute, wholesome episode that went by way too fast. I hope Shii-chan gets a cub too so she can join in on the fun.

The girls are still conquering the winter cold. I do agree that a windscreen does not look pretty, but as long as it's practical and does it job like it's suppose to, it wouldn't harm to mound that onto your Cub for a few months.

Pretty warm episode, I loved that Shii-chan joined them at lunch outside as well and got them to get some woolen clothing for the cold. I just love how smoll and adorable Shii-chan is compared to Reiko.

I was wondering about this cold being a challenge for them and then realized, what would happen if there was actually snow? Yamanashi is quite a bit above sea-level, so I would assume snow is a regular occurrence in winter and well, then we got the Episode title for next week. I can't wait for that!! The real challenge starts here.

I'm with those wondering about the soon-to-be-junked Super Cub and Shii.
The frame damage would be a concern.
The rest, if that were dealt with, would simply be a matter of throwing time and money at it to fix.

There are signs that Shii's family has funds. Here parents' don't look all that old (quite young, in fact, to this 60-year-old), so their having retired and set up the café as a retirement venture that they aren't too worried about bringing in much, Shii purchasing the espresso machine right after getting a chance to use one, all the imported tchotchkes' around the café...if Shii decides she wants to, she'll get the Super Cub and draft them into helping her fix it.

Presuming she's actually interested after riding on the back of Reiko's Cub...and not in the carrier. Her reaction was quite amusing.

i liked this episode even though the only that happened was the girls complaining about windshields only to buy windshields. But i need this anime's chill vibes. Also i love how they straight up ditched Shii multiple times. it reminded of those abridged series jokes where a character says to another character im leaving bye then they abruptly leave

I don't know about these girls but the windshield actually doesn't look all that bad. Not to mention I also wonder how Reiko managed to endure previous winters without one...

Overall, it was a nice episode but being honest, I'm not really a fan of the implied idea of Shii eventually buying a Cub for the sole reason to avoid being left behind.

Lmao yeah. Sadly, eversince Shii's character got more screen time and completed the "said" trio of this show's main girls, I felt slight bitterness with the gradual growth of the characters. Especially Koguma. Seriously, seeing Shii trying to fit in is quiet hard to watch. Having to receive both of Reiko and Koguma's slightly cocky attitude.

But to be frank, Reiko and Koguma were friends due to their similar interests in Cubs. I get it they both are kinda close with each other but the root of their friendship strongly holds from their sole interest and nothing more. Speaking from experience, I don't even know if it's a good or a bad thing anymore at this point.

Guess we'll just have to see it through the end.

I enjoyed the episode. Shii has been a great charterer since she was introduced.

Like I notice the way Koguma interacts with Shii and understand why people would think she is quite cold with her but I think it's mainly due both of them having opposite personalities.

Koguma until she got her cub was pretty much a loner with no family that didn't interact with anyone. She's probably not really used to having friends. So you can tell she is bit socially awkward at times. Whereas Shii is very much a outgoing and positive person who has a loving family and isn't afraid to try and make new friends.

So they are pretty much the polar opposite of each other. this is probably why it seems like Koguma is being very blunt with Shii at times but I think Shii knows this and accepts Kogumas introverted personality.

I too would want a Shii in my non existent bike storage. Another wholesome relaxing and fantastic episode. Everytime Koguma smiles, I smile. Shii's reaction to riding on Reiko's cub was super adorable. Must protecc this smol tiny cubless girl. Kinda sad that she's being left out, I wonder if she'll get that broken cub and maybe have it fixed. Those windshields don't look that bad, if it's for beating the cold then it's worth it. I love that they all received something out of that wool jacket.

Koguma letting Shii use her helmet was really nice, she might be blunt but she thoughtful. Really looking forward to the next episode, it's snow time.

After they got those hideous hand cover things last week, is a windshield really so ugly that Reiko would rather not ride her Cub for a few months than install one? Koguma's perspective I can understand, as she's forking out for a lot of stuff lately and she's not got much money to work with, but I don't understand what's so ugly about this compared to those hand covers at all.

That aside, this was another excellent episode as the girls contended with the cold and spent more time at Shii's cafe in the process. The teacher's excitement at the prospect of working with abrasive wool was definitely one of the episode's highlights, along with Koguma's delightful smile about how much warmer that made her while riding.

I assume the disclaimer about the alcohol was put in as some response to the complaints some lobbed at the show for Koguma and Reiko riding together in episode 6 (and will no doubt be raised again here after Shii rode with Reiko this time).

Koguma previously said something like "never imagined i would spend 500 yen on a coffee". In this episode, when they returned to cafe, Reiko and Koguma was talking about money too (maybe about spending so much on coffee, maybe on windshields).
