I like this Reiko girl tbh. She seems like someone that seems reliable.

There's also focus on Koguma again and the various scenes of her bike. Feels like this show really gets down to earth about the bikes with specific camera angles focused on them. That red bike in particular is eye catchy.

Everyone was amazed to hear that Koguma got a license, and it looks like Koguma made a new friend.

The bike Reiko rides is the Honda MD90, and I like Reiko's personality.

Judging Reiko's bike you can see it has been used on long distances, the colouration on the exhaust the Blue purple colour is something that starts happening when the exhaust gets really hot which only happens on long distances.
The effect if pretty nice but not everyone liked it and it also depends on the quality of the chrome used on the exhaust.

I also like the fact that the main made a friend and her world is starting to open, living a solitary life and seeing the same things every day is not good for you.

Koguma is slowly getting used to using the Super Cub, but is still having difficulty trying to socialize in school...and I feel like she's OK with just being the lone outcast in her class...

That is, until Reiko shows up, and she'a also a Super Cub motorbike driver, specifically the Honda MD90 Postal Edition Cub, the environmental-friendly variant.

At first, it can get awkward for Koguma trying to outreach to Reiko, but the latter did the opposte instead to initiate the conversation being the start of their friendship. May this friendship blossom in time to come.

NGL, I still love the visual storytelling, this is a great case of "show, don't tell" taken literally.

Koguma, you can go as far as you want to, and open your heart to the world with your Cub.

Sometimes all you need in life is a little "cabu" to push you from your ordinary ways, and experience unknown .. even if that unknown is a supermarket next corner from your school.

Man the OST when Koguma is riding around is just absolutely magical. It really takes you to another place. I absolutely love the artistic direction of this series. It’s great that Koguma is slowly connecting to someone else after being isolated for so long. Looking forward to seeing she and Reiko grow closer. So nice to have something to fill the Yuru void for this season.

I love the pace, the atmosphere, and the art of this anime already. The 24mins, surely, flies so fast.
Yeah! Koguma got her new and first friend. It's time for her to explore somewhere new and travel at a longer and longer distance.

Woww! They got a microwave oven in their own classroom!? What a convenient life for a highschool student.

Damn that imagination scene got me. I was like wow did she just say that infront of the whole class but then saw it was just her imagination. That kind of made me sad. Other than that a really wholesome episode.

Reiko seems like a nice girl and a fellow cub rider to boot. She really loves cubs too. I hope Koguma and Reiko becomes good friends. Both of their smiles were so precious.

The imagination scene I connect on a deeper level. Wanting to get apreciation for your realistically small acomplishment but personally very important is such a great but embarassing feeling, and this anime really did an amazing job expressing that feeling.

This anime is so relatable at times it hurts in a good way. This is anime is like relatable Yuru Camp.

I found more baffling that she actually put a titanium exhaust on such a small engine.

She's either loaded like Royal Jordanian and wasting a small fortune doesn't mean anything for her. Or she's so madly in love with her scooter and would waste whatever dime she gets in order to make it look as best as she can.

Koguma got a taste of friendship, freedom and adventure, which is nice, but the girl also needs a hug lol. Beautiful show so far.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

She'll probably turn into supermoto/dualsports junkie with all the mods she can find of it. haha
But damn that scooter had better grunt than my 400.

There is very little dialogue in this anime and I quite like it. It shows us what the characters are thinking and feeling without having us hear a monologue about. Also if you weren’t paying attention to the backgrounds during the episode watch it and pay more attention to it. It is surprisingly detailed and nice to look at

It was fine. I'm glad she got a friend but it really is quite stale. There's alot of awkward silences which I suppose is to build atmosphere - but imo just drags it out longer than it ought to be.

3/5

It's quickly growing into being my favorite show of the season.

Calm and relaxing, but at the same time so heart-warming, I could really relate to the MC in so many situations, the art of finding happiness in the small and ordinary things really amazes me <3 And, every time the colors pop, I can feel her growth coming through. Also, very happy about her making a friend!

The art suits the pacing and soundtrack amazingly too, and I found the CG transitions really neat.

This show is SO GOOD!!!

It's definitely not gonna be for everyone, but the simplicity of the presentation is really so masterful. In moments that would otherwise seem so uneventful, you can really feel Koguma's pride and joy with this next step she's taken and it just warms my heart :')

I really wish Koguma's imagination scene of her being confident enough to tell her entire class that she has a motorbike was real. It was still cute of her of imagine it, though, as that is very relatable. =)

Despite that, she did catch the interest of Reiko, who also has a Honda, but an MD90 model. There's no denying that she has a passion in motorbikes when she went into full detail of her bike to Koguma and all of the modifications she's done to it to make it more powerful.

The most effective words she told to Koguma when they had their lunch together was that with her Super Cub, Koguma had the choice to go to unknown places, whether it's a different route in the town she lives or to branch further outside of town, she had all she needs to go of on an adventure, as was shown with Reiko making a solo trip to admire the view of the town, as well as Mt Fuji (The Yuru Camp girls would like this viewing spot!).

I'm glad that Koguma took Reiko's words to heart and going a different way back home from school, with a stop at a supermarket, being her first step towards that adventure. Aside from forgetting to self-cancel her indicators a few times, she's gotten more confident with her Cub.

This episode was once again really wholesome and satisfying. Plus, we got to see the OP/ED segments properly and both were very good as well. =3

This episode was also great and very relaxing. The music and graphics are amazing.
The choice of Claude Debussy's musical piece, "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair" was very appropriate.
I would like to know more about Koguma. 🥺

Ayyo, I passed this crossroad on my Japan roadtrip, what are the damn chances!!


Super comfy episode and Koguma made a friend who also drives a Cub. I love how Koguma was forgetting to turn off her turn signal, such a neat detail. Also shows she's still very much learning to drive on a motorbike. The end is very promising, I hope that Koguma actually goes and explores some areas on her motorbike. Already looked like that Reiko was at a really nice location.

10/5 Again...!

Masterpiece...

The atmosphere, the expressions, the MUSIC, the coloring....

I dont see any other series beating this one in the season...

Maybe just "To Your Eternity"... so at least Top#2 for sure in this Season for me..

Absolutely fantastic episode again.

I love how they show Koguma's world brightening up by giving color to world and increasing the saturation. It's such a simple but powerful visual effect to drive home the narrative. The soundtrack is exceptional too, some really fantastic audio visual direction in this show.

The part where Reiko and Koguma smiled at each other when they ate lunch by their cubs was wholesome.

Sometimes all you need is a cub to go on an adventure, even if it's just a couple blocks away from your school. :)

our girl got herself a new friend who's friendly and talkative, the opposite of her lmao. when she suddenly stood up and said "today i came to school while riding a motorcycle" (or something like that) i legit paused the video for 5 minutes bc i was so nervous and scared for their reactions but it turns out to be positive !! and it turns out it was her imagination. im rly loving this anime so far, theres rly nothing special to it but its really nice
