| Koguma putting her Cub to good use, first job, and she was able to gather up some funds. Buying the rain clothes is better than getting sick. old man is nice enough to tell her that she should learn to change the oil herself. billybub said: Never thought watching someone change their oil would bring such a smilento my face made me smile too. She just needed to kick it. |
| I'm literally watching this show just to see koguma's smile. "Now I know I can go anywhere. I want to go even further." LEZ GO ANTARCTICA!!! |
| Another excellent episode, particularly the subtle brightening of the show's colour palette as Koguma continued to work at her job throughout the summer and when she figured out how to loosen the bolt to change the oil herself. Also very nice to see that she's gotten the funds together to be able to afford that 6000 yen raincoat and keep herself from getting ill in the rain. Such a satisfying moment when she realised she'd "beaten" the rain in a way with that purchase. Very intrigued to see what kind of travelling Reiko got up to during her own summer next week. |
| Koguma is so cute when smiling. |
I love K-On, and so should you.  |
| she is our messiah !!! |
| another peaceful episode perfect for a morning coffee before job starts uwu glad to see her thriving and cool that she got a chance to cover all the cub expenses with the part-time job |
WizardOfOss said: 1) does a moped really need so many oil changes? I mean, I'm only used to cars but even my inexplicably reliable Alfa needs new oil every 35.000 kilometres, and is still doing perfectly fine after 240k. I do get that mopeds are built for different use and you might want to change oil more often during break-in, but this seemed rather excessive to me.... Motorcycle normally needs to change oil every 1.500 - 2.500 km, or following what the manual stated. But I don't know if moped has shorter cycle than normal motorcycle or not. |
| I fucking love this show much, fantastic episode! Never thought oil change of a motorcycle could be this wholesome and amazing, Koguma is so adorable, the little noises and grunts she makes are cute as hell and her facial expressions were on point as well, an example would be when she forgot to ask for the other school's papers. I really love it when the colors appear, it just feels so good. Our girl has also saved a bit now, looks like we'll be seeing what Reiko did for her summer next episode. Really looking forward to it. |
 |
| Comfy as usual, but would rather see more character interaction with Reiko, which we got teased at at the end. If I had to calculate my rate of enjoyment with different elements from this show, it would be like this: 10% Cub riding and feeling the breeze 30% smile 20% modding the Cub 40% Reiko interaction This can obviously change, but that's it for me so far. |
| What a cliffhanger. Probably the craziest cliffhanger in awhile. |
 |
| I really really love how calming this anime is โค I really love to try that part time job, courier but I don't know how to ride a cub huhuhuhu |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| the sfx sound effects is really top notch on this episode huh...that's why there's few lines on the script... 5/5. |
 |
| she's changing a lot bit by bit T__T she eats better lunch, she's getting more used to having lunch with reiko, had a par time job, can change oil, bought a raincoat, came into another school, etc god i can't believe im getting proud of those. such a lovely anime. also reiko lives in a cabin damnn |
| all the scenes with cold and sad colors and her act learning a new thing like changing the oil of Cub made the whole anime gain warmer colors during the scene, what a beautiful job, very happy to have chosen to watch this anime. |
| This show is bizarrely fascinating, barely anything happens yet all of it seems so nice and fun. The way the color pallete changes with her mood is great too, like when she managed to unscrew the plug and the second it was off the pallete was nice and bright again. It is the little things that make this series so fun and interesting to watch. |

| Just caught up on the four episodes currently out and I am hooked. I am enjoying this more than Laid back Camp! II am loving her adventures in learning about the bike and how to maintain it, and I can see her growing and gaining courage and confidence as she does. The animation for this show has been excellent, as has the thought put into presenting the story: I do not know yet where the funds come from to provide for the MC yet it is obvious her budget is limited. I like how they just show, and therefore never have to explain, that her apartment is a small one. Her actions also convey her limited budget. Well done. I presume we will get the backstory on all that at some point but even if we don't it won't be a big deal. Reiko's house looks like a cross between a traditional Japanese home and a log cabin; I am very curious to see how it looks on the inside. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| so i binge watched this show to ep 4.. and my happiness is immeasurable and my day is saved.. i just can't.. i mean look how adorable the mc is.. someone kill me.. i also love how she tries to solve all her problem herself first.. |
| This was another beautiful episode. I'm glad Koguma could earn some money during vacation. She looked cute when she was trying to maintain her cub. |
 |
| This anime is just making me want to go to Japan and live there... What's with the price of those raincoats. She could've bought a cheap one from somewhere else I once bought a cheap one for 300TK which would be around 400yen. |

Marinate1016 said: The only thing about this series that kinda annoys me is the fact she’s a minor and no legal guardian is anywhere to be found. I could’ve missed something in week one explaining this, but I don’t recall. That would be my question as well. Clearly, she lives in an apartment and has to pay some bills; rent, and food for example. If she is an orphan, is the state picking up the tab until she is a legal adult? Other than this small nit-pick, I think this show is quite good and might be a sleeper hit of the season. |
 |
| Another wholesome episode, I'm really liking this series. |
| I love this show its so wholesome ๐ญ |
  |
| GOD i love this show. definitely a healing balm on my troubled soul. shows like this aren't actually my usual fare - i find that few balance the story elements well, and just end up being excruciatingly boring. yuru camp really piqued my interest in the genre and i think the key element here might be stories that hinge on a niche interest of some sort? kon - music (i know this show is like, WAY more energetic and probably qualifies as your traditional SoL but i still felt like mentioning it), yuru camp - camping, super cub - biking.... sure, there are quite a few other SoL's i've enjoyed immensely but they usually hinge on relationship drama (tsuki ga kirei) or an unusual setting (girls last tour, sora no woto) the art is fantastic yet the colour palettes used are wonderfully understated. it's only a tiny detail but i love that in the classroom scenes everyone has black/brown hair lol it totally subverts the "guess the main character!" trope i also love how it's kinda adopted the "power up" shounen trope in its own way! it's so cute seeing her buy goggles, get the bike rack, learn to change the oil herself etc etc... did i mention i love this show ;___; i hope eventually she decides to spruce up her apartment in the same way bc omg it's so depressing thinking of a lone teenage girl living in such a soulless place </3 |
| Gotta share my experience with rainy days on the moped lol (since it rains a lot in Taiwan). It's helpful, but the lower legs will definitely get really wet unless you are wearing rainboots (well I guess the ones she had could be semi-waterproof) or if you have an over-sized raincoat. Sitting on the moped will ride up your raincoat a bit, so there's really not much protection from the rain from around the shins down. Additionally, not wearing your raincoat hood will also result in a very wet neck and probably down the top of your front and back :'D Since it can get windy when you're riding on the moped, most people wear their raincoat hood under their helmet to for maximum protection from the rain. I'm also kind of surprised she can still smile with the rain hitting her face (which is why I thought having a helmet cover is the better choice despite the price), but maybe some people don't care too much about their faces getting wet, haha. Anyways, it's fun watching Koguma having fun and slowly growing. I can really relate to her, like how the first time at the job, she forgot to ask for the documents from the other school, the expression she made. I always feel bad when I make mistakes at work, and definitely more so in the beginning. But since that job is simple, she wouldn't make that mistake a second time. Also that feeling when you get your pay, then needing to buy something essential, but it's expensive...I feel that. However, she was happy that she was able to "beat" the rain, so the investment was worth it! |
| Koguma's work. she enjoyed it xd Next will be Reiko's chapter? interesting. |
| 2000yen for a 3+h job seems pretty exploitative to me especially when she has to pay for fuel from that lol |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| Koguma earning some nice cash from her first parttime job, seeing her excited and happy makes me feel the same. |
 |
| Teacher is nice person as well, helping Koguma.. Yeah, cub isn't car.. Rain and snow suck for them.. I wonder, how much rain coat can protect, really.. Like.. Some?.. But fully?.. I don't know.. |
| This story is a gateway drug that ends with Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. But this single episode is a standalone masterpiece. We have the continued use of color to emphasize the moments of joy, the little epiphanies experienced by Koguma. There is the intensely beautiful and emotional music. And it is all done in a spare and simplistic style that allows the story to stand out above everything else. The Daiichi High School in Kofu appears to be a much larger institution than Koguma's small town high school. Only 20 km away, yet Kofu is the big city. Daiichi has a big banner that says "Global", and a quick internet search reveals a long history of international exchange programs between Kofu and American schools, and a number of high schools in Kofu that teach primarily in English. These little references in the anime are symbolic of how the Super Cub is opening up a big new world for Koguma. It becomes clear that this isn't an anime about a girl and her motorbike, but about a small town girl who gets to explore an entire planet, starting on a Super Cub in Yamanashi prefecture. My favorite moment of all in this episode is Koguma looking at the grease underneath her fingernails and smiling, the satisfaction of being self-sufficient, the smile of an independent and capable young woman who can take care of her Cub, and take care of herself. |

| When she was buying the white sneakers and the watch I could swear the store's background music was from the ending theme from Yuru Camp, 1st season (Fuyu Biyori by Eri Sasaki). Happens at the 6:32 min. mark and it's only 14 secs worth. Maybe, maybe not. |

| When she bought her raincoat and she got to the other school and was all proud I was like "yeah f*ck you rain" then she turned around and said "take that" haha that cuteness tho |
| This show is so subtle says all that needs to be said without Koguma saying it. Alright her first oil change by herself! I can't help but smile when she does. |
