THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It looks like both Reiko and Koguma have plans during this Summer. Super Cub has to stay busy.

I like how the show still has those technical scenes involving their bikes. In particular, changing oil is an important part of maintainence.

Koguma learned how to change her cub oil. Koguma bought a raincoat, so when she drives in the rain it's not a problem.

Looks like this is the first time Koguma goes to work part-time with her cub.

So Koguma has taken a part-time job. This anime continues to make me smile. It feels so comfy.

Seems like the main is going places and opening up her own world a bit which is nice, she does have to change the oil a lot tho.
Anyway this anime is just like driving a motorcycle really relaxing and a lot of fun.
It can be a problem in the rain tho but nothing a good rain suit can protect you from.

The one thing i do wonder about tho is that pretty much every scene where we see the main shifting she is down shifting so far i have not seen a up shift.
For those who don't know first gear is down from neutral second gear is up, neutral is between second and first and 3,4,5th are all up from second.
I believe the super cub has only 3 gears tho (correct me if i am wrong).

another really great chill episode, koguma's part time job seems cool and looks like quite a nice and easy way to earn some money. she really is putting that cub to use though, riding it a lot and already over 2000km with a couple of oil changes. cant wait to see where we go next and that new rain outfit is super cute too

A first job during her summer vacations with her cub, that was great, good that she managed to make some money with her cub, and she's even invited to her friend's place, I can't wait to see the next episode now.

A courier job for Koguma on her Super Cub delivering confidential school papers, and same with Reiko on her own business.

It's always good to bring vehicles for a check when certain mileages are achieved, and use the Honda Ultra G1 oil canister for a fuel pump refill. The technicalities with maintenance is quite accurate though, as if to tell that Koguma's not fully utilizing her Super Cub to its normal designed usage.

It's a long-ass way of travelling 1 to 2 hours of city-hopping just to deliver papers back and forth for 1.5 months, but there's the growing satisfaction on Koguma's face each and every time she is on the job, and earning the 2000 yen X umpteen trips of paychecks. But when rain pours, rainwear will definitely help in keeping dry, even if they are expensive.

The firsts for Koguma are stacking in her sphere of activities with her Super Cub. Such an immersive episode.

Koguma got her first part-time job and Reiko has plans to ride in the summer as well.

Koguma is looking excited about her first job. She also did some shopping and she did change her engine oil as well.

This show makes me smile. It's so relaxing to watch all this. A girl's journey with her super cub doing all sorts of things.

It’s so satisfying seeing Koguma gradually grow as a person and rider with every episode. Watching her slowly, but surely go outside of her comfort zone with the help of the scooter is really cool. From getting her first job, to learning how to change the oil, and now even going on mini-trips with her bike, she’s developing at a very good pace.

I love how fluid the animation is, during scenes with here Koguma was putting her gym outfit on it was so good.

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.

Such a shame lockdown is back again, cause while I don't drive a bike, but a car instead, this show just makes me want to drive around outside just because why not, need to relax and enjoy myself outside when possible. Continues to be really refreshing to watch, and I like how the show now focuses on side-benefits with the application of the Cub, with courier jobs and more to make some money on the side for future trips and expenses related to the Cub.

Very great episode. I don't know why but I gonna cry when I knew that Koguma's life getting better and better, she got a part-time job, and she can save more money from her job and can able to buy some necessary goods like a raincoat for use during the rain.

The next episode will be about Reiko's trip. I've wondered where she had been. I can't wait to see it.

It was mentioned in ep 1 she has no parents. I already got spoiled about what happened to them, though. Also teenagers living alone are not unheard of in Japan.

I know how stacked this Spring season of anime has been so far, but I feel that Super Cub is one of the low-key dark horses of this season as a whole. It's SO good at what it does! =3

Koguma got used to her first part-time job, taking documents between her school and another school 25km away and she was busy doing that before and during her entire summer vacation. Time sure does fly by when you're having fun at what you're doing. =)

During this time, Koguma did remember about getting the oil changed, so it was nice to see old man Shino again. After that, Koguma got her hands dirty doing the oil change herself, which I can relate to with my father's own classic car. It feels satisfying.

Not just that, but she also got herself a raincoat after getting caught by a summer shower during one of her job trips. She's getting more and more confident with each passing episode.

I do look forward to next week, as we should learn what Reiko go up to during her own summer vacation.

This anime is gold, one of season's best. I'm glad to see that Koguma got her first job, and the happy face she did after earning the Yens was so cute. The kawaii-o-meter is high on this story. Now, she and Reiko will talk more about their passion for bikes, I think. It's so good to share an interest with someone. As Koguma said, a common interest partnership is even more close than an usual friendship.

Nice episode again, repetitive in a good way that shows her personal growth.

Two things I wonder though:
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....
2) would a raincoat really keep you dry during those unbearably hot and humid Japanese summers?

Week after week, it just makes me smile more and more. This journey of Koguma slowly learning all kinds of things, discovering new areas, working a part-time job, meeting new people and doing service on your Cub yourself.

Super Cub makes me want to travel around Japan again just as much as Yuru Camp did.

Exactly this, it hit so close at home that I couldn't help but laugh cause it is so incredibly relatable!

Probably not, I heard the summer rain really is treacherous in Japan, but I also know from experience that even if you wear a raincoat on the bicycle and it rains hard enough, there's a limit to what the raincoat can handle. Cause gotta love the Dutch weather sometimes :P

Great episode as always.

Absolutely loving the way color changes when Koguma gets excited. Always a pleasure to see her happy. She's adorable when she smiles and gets excited.

Couldn't help but chuckle when she said got all smug after beating the rain with the raincoat.

Is that where Reiko lives? Pretty cool.

Kouguma gets a summer job, and really it's the perfect one for her. She's able to ride her cub farther than ever and expand her horizons. Earning a little money on the side too. It almost sounded like she's planning on buying something at the end there.

I liked the shot of her looking at her dirty fingers after changing the oil. It was like a symbol of her hardwork, learning how to take care of her cub.

Overall, another charming episode. Everything in this is all so simple, but I always find myself totally compelled by what's going on. The use of silence and piano pieces, the dull color and then the sudden flashes of color; this is a very solid little show.

Wholesome vibes is strong. Making some fat loot (according to her standards anyway) with a simple summer job. Still a lil hesitant to buy a 60 dollar rain jacket lol. Funny how she was too weak to change the oil with her arm strength.

I know people wont vote this series..

But the Soundtrack is Simply Perfection... Best of the Season for sure.. and maybe of the Year too...

Also the ED Song is Amazing... For me, the Best ED song of the Season paired with Mars Red's ED song (by Hyde)

Anyone else got "Charlie Brown" vibes in this episode?

Also... in those last seconds.. i saw Reiko... and reminded me Momo Yaoyorozu.

Summer time already.

Heh, a part-time job as a transport document seems perfectly suited for Koguma and her Super Cub. Look at how Koguma growth very fine as a long-distance rider at that time. She surely learnt much at those time. A highlight when she used the money to bought the fuckin raincoat and talked to the fuckin rain outside. Hell, yeah, take that! I said.

Man, its a very relaxing watch. Much catchy moment from Koguma when seeing her cuteness look very solid, especially with the angle of her at the changing oil scene:


Love this episode so much. Good work, girl. And can't wait to see more story of yours with the cub!
