| ”Up until yesterday, I didn’t have anything. But... starting today, I have my Cub.” Surprisingly my favourite anime of the season so far! Love the simplicity of the story. There’s something quite nice about the pacing of the story. Not much happens, but there’s a beauty to its simplicity. Reminds me of Yesterday so Utatte in that aspect, the calm/silence at times really highlights the tone of the series. The VA fits the role perfectly, it’s impressive that it’s her debut! Really well done by the production staff as well— nice music choice... I enjoyed the bits of classical, the gorgeous art, the sound design, and then the change in colour design when Koguma finds some colour in her ‘monochrome world’. Absolutely beautiful, I love these kind of stories. I feel myself rooting for good things to happen to her as I watch through the episode. No complaints so far, looking forward to more. Definitely a gem of this season! |

| Yo this was so good! We must protecc Koguma's smile, her smile is so precious. Now this, this is a worthy show to fill the void Yuru Camp left in my heart. The visual and sound design was so good, I love how the show suddenly gains color depending on what Koguma was feeling. The lack of music at the beginning really helped show the somber atmosphere, and then when the music finally kicked in was beautiful. I will look forward to Koguma gaining friends. I love the depressingly comfy atmosphere, though as we go on, hopefully it's just comfy. |
 |
| Clair de lune and a motorcycle, what a perfect combination. Oh I miss my honda supercub when I used it at highschool. |
 |
| The most boring thing I've watched. Also just another highschooler who lives alone without parents. |
  |
| This is so fu*ing wholesome. Definitely a must watch for me. |
| That was probably one of my favourite opening episodes to a slice of life series ever. Going without OST for long stretches of the episode, as well as barely having Koguma speak at all (discounting her opening monologue, she doesn't say a word for the first 6 and a half minutes of the episode) is an incredibly bold move to start a series like this with, but it immediately and effectively conveys how empty Koguma's life is until she gets the Cub. Then, having the colour palette brighten for just a moment as she gets on it for the first time and then remain bright as she's riding it demonstrates just how much this means for her. In other words, through colour palette and OST (or, more often than not, the lack thereof) alone, this show has gotten me 100% invested in Koguma and I just want to see her smile more and more going forward; we get a few this episode, and each one feels so, so rewarding already. The only complaint I could really lodge at this is how awkward the CG biking looks and that the cuts between the CG wide shots and drawn close-ups is kind of jarring, but it is understandable that it would be easier to do the movement in CG than in traditional animation. An excellent episode, and I'm very excited to keep up with this show for the season. |
| Really love it, the ost fits perfectly with the beautiful animation. The main character is cute as fuck, i wonder what the second episode is going to be about, maybe they'll introduce a new character. Maybe it would be the cheerful type |
 |
| I hate it. Probably the most this season, because it felt just very off, when i watched it. And a friend showed me the manga and i know exactly why i hate it. The manga has different expressions of the girl, hell even the old guy at the station has different expressions, while they like defined suffering in the Anime.  |

| So boring, oh my god. |
| Sponsored by HONDA. It was very... calm. I don't know if I'll be able to watch the entire season, I could get bored fast by this CGDCT. However, there were a few realistic and relatable situations in this first episode, it wasn't bad. We never have enough Debussy, so I hope there'll be more. |
| Now this was nice. Quality slice for this season is safe. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
SHINOBI-03 said: Anime_Jesus said: Have you considered the bike had probably been sitting in storage for along time, and he’d rather just let go of it? Or it was just the cheapest thing he had and the only thing she could afford? You’re not gonna get luxuries if you only have a few hundred dollars. My main concern here is the killing part. He talked about the bike like it was cursed or something and he sold it to a new customer who could be killed later disregarding the previous accidents. Relax man. This isn’t a psychological horror. They just need a reason to have the scooter be $100 and they picked that. It doesn’t go any deeper than that. Not everything is so deep. |
| Funny and relaxing start. |

RayReynolds said: I'm not quite sure who the audience for this show is either. People who just want to look at landscapes and listen to elevator music? I guess at least it's not full of the main character's internal narration. You definitely can't say that there's too much talking here, exposition or otherwise. You don't need much when you're just going to be putting up montage after montage of biking around the village. And the big crisis at the end? She ran out of gas and didn't realize it. General Hospital eat your heart out. I'm honestly not sure what else there even is to say. This could have easily been a five minute episode on length of content, but I'm pretty sure the "nothing happens, tune out your brain and let twenty minutes of your finite life pass by in a blur" is the point. But then just go listen to some dumb ASMR thing on YouTube if that's your bag. God only knows how they stretch this out to an entire season. Usually these kinds of shows are just vehicles for "cute girls doing nothing," but this one seems to be much more focused on selling Honda motorcycles… by looking at shots of landscapes. Not the strangest advertisement for a motor vehicle I've ever seen, but I doubt the most effective. Watching characters do something you also enjoy doing while learning things you also had to learn at one point. <- that's why people aside from the usual SOL crowd will likely enjoy it there are 2 problems with your theory 1.-she doesn't do things that I enjoyv 2.-I have never bought a motorcycle and learned to use it |
| This show is so relaxing <33 |
 |
| Ah yes, this will definitely fill the gap after Yuru Camp ended, so far very chill and enjoyable ep.1. btw, anybody know whats in these packages?  |
 |
| it's been a while since I watched top quality SoL and this was so good it made me tear up by the end of the episode, definitely going to be one of my fav shows of this season |
| This episode was very cute. Koguma's life gets some colors after the bike's purchasing. The changing of her personality is interesting to see. This is an anime focused more on landscapes and actions than on words. The first time she speaks is in around the 5-minutes mark, but even with less words the story is entertaining in its own way. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Mal should investigate and fix this quickly This is certainly bots’ doing  |
It's true, that mistake has been like this since I read the final chapter of Shingeki no kyojin. |
| Ok, this was beautiful. I was expecting something like Yuru Camp but this looks more serious and drama-filled, which is interesting. I loved its slow paced and chill nature. Definitely looking forward watching more! |
 |
| omg! such a chill peaceful show! also, The VA looks is also similar to Koguma! nice! 5/5. |
 |
| "Koguma have a new adventurous life" How adventrous are we talking? In the manga her mom just LEFT. Finding her could be an adventure! Bōsōzoku? Took off with an American biker? TO OAKLAND, CA? Hokuto City Horkew Kamuy MC/1%? |
| Great episode. I loved that the start is not about a girl who transferred to new school and she has to join a club. |
| I did not expect to watch this anime but after I saw it turned out to be pretty good too, and the moment when she had a new bike reminded me of the first time I had a bike and couldn't wait to ride it for the next day, Koguma its pretty cute tho |
 |
| This show is so relaxing. Also, Koguma is so adorable. Every time she smiles, my heart feels lighter. She's so precious. Loved the first episode. Looking forward to more of this show. |
 |
| Art was very good. Relaxing show, similar to Non non biyori, but with a much sadder tone, considering how she has no parents and is alone and stuff. This may well be my hidden gem of the season! |
