I'm getting some Kino vibes, but with a cute anime girl.

It kind of looks like Boogiepop Phantom meets Kino's Journey.

This looks like a decent slice-of-life story.

Huh, interesting concept, I might keep an eye on this. With something so focused around a specific vehicle getting adapted, I can only hope that Kanojo no Carrera has a better chance of getting an adaptation now.

The Honda Super Cub is a motorcycle that is really popular throughout Europe and Asia, but is virtually unknown in North America, as people are too obsessed with speed there. The Beach Boys song "Little Honda" is about that motorcycle.

Too bad it's seinen, as I probably would've watched it if it wasn't.

Not gonna lie, I like these backgrounds and the design of this main character. I recognize the classical music in this trailer, don't know the actual song name or who composed it but I did hear it in Madoka Magica long ago.
Edit: Found the song, it's Claude Debussy's La fille aux cheveux de lin

Never heard of Studio Kai though, they seem to be a brand new studio. I'll keep an eye out for this in the future, I guess.

Another glorification of dangerous materialism? The studio does not seem to have made anything worthwhile, and this blatant attempt to make some money will not bring them fame either.
