Despite all the Honda ads, the serious is pretty good. Nice slice of life. MUY BIEN.

Very nice little slice of life.

Since there are two more episodes in December apparently, this shouldn't be marked as finished.

"Holy Mamaries!"

As expected of Junichi Satou. I feel so relax after watching this.

I wish this was an 12 episode anime than an OVA so we can watch more of these.

Cynthia's strength comes from her b
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

I hope this series is not yet over in just 4 OVAs. I'm wishing it'll be turn into a 12-13 episode anime series by next year.

All the product placements didn't bother me. Nice slice-of-life. It's funny watching an Aussie mix up languages.

Did you notice the girls names are related to the bikes they ride? The only ones I have worked out so far are that Kaburagi, Sayo rides a Honda Cub (cub = カブ = kabu), Maezono Rie wants a Honda Zoomer, and Cynthia B. Rogers rides a Honda CBR, which has her initials. The main character, Shiozaki Haruno, rides a Honda Giorno, so I don't know how that works out.... The "no" sound maybe, or a more subtle Japanese pun? I don't know the name of the other girl's bike at all.

Nice to see Cynthia riding the minibike so I could justify adding her to my club.

Cynthia is such a kind character, without her words Haruno would have kept thinking in that discouraging way.

I always enjoy a good slice of life show. To bad there will be only 4 episodes. Still, I'll stick with it for sure. Love Cynthia!

Really getting the relaxed Tamayura vibe from this, which is of course logical since it's from the same creator. :)

Even tho Cynthia can be annoying, I truly admire her for her ability to just show haruno the way.

Absolutely love Cynthia, specially when she speaks normally.
Haruno was downright depressing though. I'm glad Cynthia lightened her up a bit.

Those first 2 parts were pretty fun to watch, I thought the Cynthia VS Chickens scene was hilarious.

I like the story and the message, but the honda logos everywhere is very distracting, and the ace of spades with what looked like a butt in the middle on Cynthia's bag had me thinking certain things about her.... :/ I think some of you might know what I'm getting at.

I’m not sure if i’m interpreting what you said correctly but if it is what I think it is, it’s not the ace of spades that means that but the queen of spades. Either way seeing this comment is going to make me look at Cynthia differently for the rest of the show.

ah, just looked that up and you are correct. I never connected the Q in that tattoo as meaning queen, I thought it was referring to a certain creepy group that was prevalent in those circles for a while. But I guess it was more that they appropriated that symbol.

Cynthia and Rie are both such an airheads. :P

I liked that night ride segment was nice. Cynthia was able to cheer up Haruno.

Well, I'm not a fan of travels myself.. I think that you can be perfectly happy even without some traveling.. There are million things in the world to enjoy besides that, really.. But also it's just principle, I guess.. That it's travels - is side thing.. Main thing is to follow something you like.. And it can be something totally different than enjoys some other random person like me, or anyone, really..

For all her worldliness, Cynthia ain't ever played a Zelda game, eh? Chickens are mean.

I don't understand what Haruno is complaining about during the night ride? She's on a motorized vehicle, it's not like she's pedaling up all these mountains. How does she think she can't make it to the ocean?
