| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I think Koguma is adorable, especially with her timid personality. From the first episode, we get to see her bike, which is going to be very important in her life. Her personality might have to get some time to get used to imo. However, I think she's a very friendly person, just not to easy to open up to others. |
 |
| Koguma is a high school girl with no parents, no money, no hobbies, no friends, and no future goals, but it looks like she's really happy while riding the Honda super cub. The animation was pretty good, and I never thought I could see the Honda CBR650R in an anime. I'm looking forward to the next episode |
 |
| What a fun and relaxing episode. I love her smile :3 Gonna be the best SOL anime of the season. I like how the colour changes, and also how the visuals do most of the story telling, the conversation is just minimal. |

| This is far by the way, the most intriguing premiere episode to me. The somber-cum-joyful classical music just fits this monochrome-colour switch "show, don't tell" show to a T. The Honda Super Cub is a famous well-known motorcycle (which is STILL being in production since 1958 in many variants), and for high school girls like Koguma who has nothing in life, riding a Super Cub is the most heartfelt thing I've ever both seen and felt in anime in a very long time (though it's "rugged" history of killing 3 people was a misnomer at best). BTW, the CB650R variant is beginner-friendly, so that helps a lot in mending this show's foundation. Koguma getting used to the Super Cub just feels in every sense...GENUINE. This is READY PERFECTLY to replace last season's Yuru Camp as the CGDCT of the season (heck, even the place that this is inspired from IS THE SAME: Yamanashi Prefecture). Literally breaking all my expectations to deliver an experience, I'm looking forward to watching more of this slice-of-life show, it sucked me in immensely from start to finish in one sitting. |

| Honestly the drawing of the surroundings is really great and the bikes also had really nice details tho it was a bit of a Honda commercial, that being said i learned to drive on a Honda CB650R which was also shown. The episode itself was nice as well the classical music gave it a very peaceful feel which made things very calming. I also liked her first driving experience she is still driving a bit slow when you start out driving fast can be scary and i liked the refueling part. My current bike doesn't have a fuel cage so the reserve saved me a couple of times as well, i know how the main feels about it. |
| So it's an iyashikei hmm, really liked this first episode, that girl is really alone though, and her Super Cub killed 3 people, I want to know that backstory, I wonder if she's stay alone with the Super Cub during the whole anime, but I can't wait to see different places, great start |
 |
| Really disappointed by the number of "1" scores. This episode actually blew me away!!! Favorite of the season so far |
| Blanks. |
| So not even grandparents ? Who pays for the apartment ? Or gas ? |
 |
| That was a really relaxing episode, this show will definitely fill the void Yuru camp left. I genuinely love Koguma smiling face c:  |
 |
| Hell yes! 25 minutes. I was afraid this was going to be one of those short 12 minute shows due to the how obscure the topic of this show is. Also, apparently this show takes place in the future. Her license has an issue date of April 26, 2021. 🤣 |

| Why are there so many 1? This was such a great episode, I loved it. Also the nice little touch how the colours turned warmer when she started the Cub was a really nice |
| Beautiful premise, loved it. I was surprised when her world brightened up after she started the cub but that was great. The atmosphere was a bit heavy in this episode which was fine but I hope it becomes more soothing from now on. Also it sux that she doesn't have anyone at all, I felt bad for her. |
 |
| It was kinda ok. Loved the atmosphere and the relaxing feeling. However the cgi really breaks the beautiful backgrounds and I wouldn't mind if the main character could stop making sexual noises every two minutes. I assure you it is possible to stretch without moaning. |
| am i the only one who thinks this is bs haha she legit said that she got no money yet bought a motor and a license? lol |
 |
| I knew it.. this is one i have been searching for.. スーパー gang... |
| It's Yamanashi. Yamanashi again, the same prefecture as Yuru Camp. This time the location is around Hinoharu Station. I can feel the vibe of Non Non Biyori from this first episode. I like the art and atmosphere of the anime. The episode was pretty relaxing, but in another way, I can feel the loneliness from Koguma as well. I hope she will meet her friends soon. Koguma wants to ride somewhere, maybe she will ride to Minobu too, as it not far from her town that much. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| is the type of anime that makes you more relaxed (I remembered the yuru camp) and focuses on the normal everyday things that I found interesting |

What she meant is she nearly didn't have enough for those cubs which cost 130k-200k yen but the one she bought only cost 10k Yen.am i the only one who thinks this is bs haha she legit said that she got no money yet bought a motor and a license? lol Swagernator said: Japan has system which supports this type of children with financial needs.So not even grandparents ?

 |
| The pacing and tone were perfect imo. I love it. It may be too slow for some people though |
| This one seems like it is gonna be a lot of fun. The way she always smiles at her bike was really funny and this first episode seems to have a somber but hopeful tone. I thought the long opening to classical music was funny because it seemed so dramatic and the show always has that mild dramatic sad tone to it. I do wonder where she is getting all this money though, she said she has no parents and no job? Gas is expensive dude. |
       |
| Who the hell are the people voting this a "1" ???? |
| This anime seems to sponsored by Yamanashi Tourism and Honda.. and goddamn this brings back memories.. |
| Alright, I'm a sucker for slice of lifes so I'll watch this one. |
| When I first saw the PV, I hoped we weren't being baited and that this what the quality we were gonna get. I have to say, this blew my expectations out of the water. The art is amazing, the way the world lights up when she gets on her Cub is beautiful, and this was a very wholesome watch. This could definitely become one of my favorites for this season if they keep it up. |
 |
| This has a really nice vibe to it. A nice slice of life show with surprisingly not a lot of music. Most of the scenes this episode was sound effects and chatter. Nice touch! |
 |
| Not a bad episode, those CGI's might bother for some but myself can digest it. The dialog at the first episode was very minimal, however the next episodes might introduce some new characters and might involved more conversations. Probably the potential substitute for Yuru camp for this season. |
 |
| Her almost getting stranded at the convenience store took her on an emotional journey that was all too relatable. A very beautiful episode. I loved it. |
| Yuru camp may be over but fear not. Comfy szn continues with Super Cub. I can already tell this is gonna be a free 10. I’m looking forward to the inevitable journey of self-discovery that the MC will have thanks to the scooter. Can’t wait. Art and everything is great. Only gripe I have is the CGI at times I feel was unnecessary. |

Yeah, it definitely must have, i've seen this kind of trope (young kid literally living alone) many times and always was wondering how is that even possible. Props to Japan i guess, something like that in my country would be impossible. |

| i am really liking this |
 |
| Suddenly, the price of used Super cub inflates |
