THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It's nice seeing the promotion of other countries besides Japan. Taiwan seamed nice.
They cut down on animation cost by reusing a character design. And resulted in Twincest without the incest.

This seams like an in between episode for the next season. Is a new season announced I haven't heard anything.

"This anime has not aired yet, you cannot mark it as anything but Plan to Watch"

MAL knows nothing. Why would they even put this restriction in? It either forces them to keep up to date on the status of all shows, regardless of their recorded airing date, or it inconveniences users. They don't know if someone might have gotten a preview or something. In this case it was apparently aired several months before the recorded airing date. They should do away with the restriction and just let people set whatever animes they want as Completed. Sometimes you can't even set newly added animes as Plan To Watch because they're not "confirmed" yet.

Edit: Apparently you can do this (aside from adding "unconfirmed" animes) on the anime's page. It's only blocked when you do it on your anime list page.

Nice OVA. I liked it. I kind of miss these girls and their bikes.

That was a nice trip to taiwan. What surprise me is their guide was Natsumi's look like. They look like twins. It was a relaxing school trip inspection. Nice to see the girls having fun.

Not expecting if this will have another season. But I wish long riders will an OVA and a second season.

The five girls and the teacher, go to Taiwan to show us the beatiful to this country!!!

The best: the animation style, that copied (right copied) photos of the real Taiwan, cities, lakes and people! is better copy that invent!
The worst: The boring plot.
The original: the twin xD (yes is not original, but for this series is too much xD )
The "never change": the publicity in the last minute of episode, this time a mountain bikes renting shop in Kamakura!

It should be a crime to make an OVA episode and not have a swimsuit or onsen scene in it.

Still though, it was an alright episode, and it's nice to see CR picking up BD exclusive episodes now, since I doubt anyone would have ever subbed this otherwise.

Surprisingly really good OVA, better than most of the episodes of the main series imo. I've never been to Taiwan before but they explored the social culture of that country including the food, people, etc.

Su is a likeable character imo with her knowledge of other languages and being a generally friendly person. Wish we get more episodes like this where the club goes to other countries in the future.

The beauty of this special is just not to have the usual places as a context, but a goal totally alien to today's anime series. And the backgrounds are well done. It would be worth going to Japan and taking a short trip to Taiwan and beyond. The bike sharing system shown in this episode was already known to me and I think it would be really useful if it spread to other parts of the world. Besides the places, of this special, I also appreciated the great advice given by the character of Su. Not bad as an episode.

Very nice special. Taiwan is such a beautiful country.

Natsumi met her doppelganger. She and Su really looked like twins.

Kinda surprising character development for Natsumi. It's nice that her character got more depth in this episode.

Nice Special overall but man, the background art looked cheap asf.
It’s time to ditch the text file.
