Well I guess it was okay. Not a big fan of the bikes' designs yet though.

The show reminds me somewhat of Bakuon! but with bikes rather than motorcycles.


Hinako is cute.

It looks pleasing, but everything else is so unremarkable. JUST LIKE EVERY CGDCT.

Looks fine so far but it seems someone underestimated cycling a but.
Well it's not that hard in my country cycling is a very common form of transportation and people of all ages do it.
If you do it for sports it's a different matter tho.

Just like any Anime about normal girl starting a new "hobby", "club" and something like that. Realizing the price for thing they like can be that high. Even so, they start the love it more than ever.

Very good first episode. I think I found this season's Bakuon! XD More sol and less comedy/ecchi here though I'd say. Although purple-haired girl certainly has some fantastically big, beautiful tits! XD Hope we see more of them! XD

Seasonal dosage of CGDCT never gets old, you know. And I feel a vibe of Bakuon! but with bicycles.

Ami, a girl who is does not appear to be athletic and doesn't seem to have any background with bikes can suddenly ride like 10+ km at a speed that looks to be 20+ km/hr on a bike with a foot diameter wheel... And they only stopped because she was running empty... Man does she have talent and a half decent fitness level...

Nice start, The cycling had sort of a relaxing feel to it, Soundtrack blended really well with it.
I've actually never seen a folding bicycle in person before.

Also like the fact that it's a college setting, You don't get too many of those.

The series is definitely reminiscent of Bakuon but only with bicycles and more SoL.

Anyone know why the name written on the bike is Pontac throughout the episode https://puu.sh/rBVS2.jpg but when zooming in it's shown as Pontiankh? https://puu.sh/rBVT6.jpg

Welp, gonna go forth with watching this since I did enjoy watching Bakuon. Looks like this will have some comedic vibe to it but with a more mature air since the girls are in college. Also looks like there won't be a lot of fanservice so that's gonna be a bit of a plus considering.
Don't believe the hype.

The characters aren't nearly half as fun as the Bakuon cast, they seem closer to K-On, and that's bad. But we'll see how their dynamic ends up working out.

YESHHH! My seasonal dosage of "Cute girls doing cute things" show is here.

Ahh, the cycling scene was soooo good. The OST also fit in well. That scene makes me want to go out and use my bike today xD.

5/5 This Bakuon S2 show is great and I love it.

Good moeblob. Succeeds where it needs to, and it looks really good as well.

Not the most unique designs in the world though, but these types of shows aren't known for particularly original designs anyway.

Aoi's character design looks a lot like Mio's from K-ON. Very fun episode. Like Aoi said, it's a basic rule to not exercise in general if you haven't had proper sleep or nourishment. Biking is pretty tough if you're going up a slope, requires more energy to pedal. What I like the most about the show is the scenery, very pleasant to see.

Not very fond of those energy packs much like Ami. I guess it's because they are too sweet.


This will probably be the SOL show of the season.

This was okay so far. The most disturbing thing is that Japan can have a beautiful and well-maintained bike path, while in my degenerate country one takes his life in his hands on our local BP. The nearby bike path along the river is a den of muggers and rapists.

This was kinda okay I guess. The characters didn't feel that fun so far. Ami was okay, Aoi was okay, the big boob girl was okay, the little blonde girl was nice. Kinda okay everyone. Maybe I'll come to like them a bit more but so far, not so much.

Ami is taking up cycling and she was so excited that she named her bike, didn't sleep enough, didn't have breakfast, and ended up almost passing out. The little girl was nice as she helped them out. Ami is interested in cycling but isn't interested in all the aftereffects and fatigue that accompany it.

The episode was okay but didn't leave any impact. I'm not sure whether to continue or not. The characters will get properly introduced next week but this episode was only okay and nothing more. It might end up not making the cut.

Does anyone know the brand of folding bike that was in the first few minutes? Yowamushi did use the brand names in their series. I say Aoi had an "alternate" spelling for the Giant brand hybrid bike. I wonder if they did the same for the folding bike.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Wow the first half is probably the most blatant K-On rip off I've ever seen except it's using bike instead of music. The character designs are the same (Yui and Mio), their personalities are the same (one dojikko and one serious somewhat-experienced tsukkomi), the main character both chose a cheaper instrument/bike just because they're cute and afterwards hugging their guitar/bike in their bedroom saying they'll be together from now on, and then naming their guitar/bike in the most cliche way (giitah/ponta-kun). Heck even their main reason for taking a new hobby is the same (wanting to change themselves).

Well.. I just hope there won't be too many familiar scenes from now on. Ah but I'll bet that polite big-boobed girl is an ojou-sama.

Nice OP and ED though.

In truth, I was looking for something light to enter the world of cycling, not to start with a more challenging anime: I found the right one. The characters remind me a little of those GuP, but the context is similar to that of Bakuon. I am not surprised by what I saw, it was all as I imagined it, a nice story with cute characters. Not bad CG, but in certain contexts I not like it, good job of directing and great choice in scenographic cuts. The landscape was really nice.

Because anime hates logic, that's why.
Um, six miles on a bike isn't that long, nor is going 12 miles an hours. I could see her doing that. Being out of shape, yes. She's not the athletic type to begin with. NOW, if we go by the previews, using that folding bike in the biking club, then I would agree she would be left behind.

Have you tried biking before?

This is subjective but when i'm an amateur in riding a bike, riding for 4 kilometers (or 2.4 miles) is quite hard. Then again, my 2.4 miles is sometimes crossing hill road. Your 6 miles (which i don't know where you get the number from) is most likely either bike-special road like in this anime and no hill.
