| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I actually like Koguma's relationship and chemistry with Reiko in this show. It's kinda awkward but oddly entertaining. I really think these two will be friends for a long time. Keep that smile up, Koguma! |
 |
| Koguma upgraded her cub, and I really liked it when Koguma smiled at her cub. The googles look good on Koguma, Koguma and Reiko start talking to each other in class. |
 |
| The good thing about the Cub is that they have been produced for a long time and it's the most produced motorized vehicle by a long shot this means that getting parts or aftermarket accessories is easy and cheap. And in this case people even had them lying around which helped out greatly. For the helmet part they are usually pretty expensive a ECE rated helmet starts at about 100 Euro but if you want a good one thats comfortable you are looking at three or four times that and if you want the best you can even go over 1000 Euro's. It's good that the main is starting to drive a bit faster and also decided to cover her eyes the wind can get really annoying but it's worse when some gets into your eye at high speed, you can get serious eye damage that way. So protecting your eyes is good. |
| was another really nice episode, koguma got some new stuff and looks like her relationship with the other cub girl going well too. some cool locations and stuff too, cant wait to see more. |
| Let us just ask Goggles, goggles has all the answers. Also yeah, it aint stupid if it works. But i cant wait to see them go on some big trip or something. |

| No interest in motorbikes yet I am somehow enjoying this show a lot. to the point i've even looked up used super cubs in my area. Did also lead me to binge Bakuon. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| 3 episodes in, and the visual storytelling is STILL impeccable IMO, what a true ride of Koguma's life slowly changing as time passes. The Cub-ly enthusiastic Reiko helping Koguma to add spare parts (a.k.a a luggage box) out of another stripped-down Super Cub, plus others who drove Super Cubs before into her very own, giving it a new facelift. The extent of help is much needed. Problem is, with an open-face helmet like that, Koguma's face (not to mention her sight) is blinded by the incoming winds when trying to go faster than normal, and visors (or face shields) are pretty much a necessity for motorcyclists, though safety goggles are a good and cheap alternative. Koguma's grin-turned-smiles are so cute and lovely...finding the sole joy in her life to drive a Super Cub is precious and making friends of Reiko, lead the way to find serenity and joy. |
 |
| Still wholesome and realxing on another level. A simple Cub making her smile. No parents, no money, nothing but a cub and a fellow cub friend. Life can be so simple and shinny |
 |
| Koguma upgrading her Cub was so satisfying to watch. I wonder how Cub sales are doing now that this show has started airing. Reiko has been a great friend to Koguma early on. She’s been exactly what Koguma needs to get outside of her comfort zone. The visual storytelling methods continue to be superb in the show, too. |
 |
| I don't get this. Explain to me how she survives. She says she has No Money No Parents How does she get the money then to buy food, drinks, gasoline for her cub? I'm utterly confused. |
| The smile on Koguma's face is so precious. Another wholesome episode, I liked the interactions between Reiko and Koguma. They were short but sweet and meaningful. Also idk why but this episode kinda gave off season finale vibes. |
 |
| Koguma is just too pure for this world. She just upgraded her cub with a luggage box and the smile gave us then was so cute. I love her so much. Reiko is a good girl. She's helping Koguma quite a lot now and they seem to be closer to each other as well. This is just too wholesome. :3 |
 |
| Relaxing as always. Koguma's Cub got some useful upgrades with the storage box and the front basket. Next episode a part-time job. She, finally, will able to make some more money to buy things she needs and also use them as the expense for future traveling. Jesse_2001 said: I don't get this. Explain to me how she survives. She says she has No Money No Parents How does she get the money then to buy food, drinks, gasoline for her cub? I'm utterly confused. she can get the scholarship and the social welfare from the government. Or even her parent's life insurance money. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
Jesse_2001 said: That's just a metaphor, don't take everything at face value. Also Japan has some sort of system which helps kids like her financially untill certain age. Also there's insurance money too as @AkeZZZ mentioned.I don't get this. Explain to me how she survives. She says she has No Money No Parents How does she get the money then to buy food, drinks, gasoline for her cub? I'm utterly confused. |
 |
| Nice upgrades. Now the Cub looks better than ever before. :) |

| The story telling with art, classical music, monotone colour pallet.. each and every scene is soo memorial.. i shivered and my eyes were wet because i was so happy. This anime feels very real. |
This made me love this episode. |
| Now she has more storage place on her cub and she has a protection for her eyes, that's great, and that ending was VERY heartwarming, first time getting a friend's number or more like first timing getting a friend, that was really cute. |
 |
| I like the progression of the story, the friendship between Koguma and Reiko, very wholesome. |
aydentheweeb said: yuurieru said: Perhaps we'll find out next week! LolI said the same thing in ep 2 😭 but I just said let me not worry about trivial things and get relaxed. Government gives you money if you have no parents but only for your basic needs, so you dont get much. |
| What breakneck speed, like the story itself is suddenly up to 30km/h. |
| It's going so slowly, which is to be expected but I'm wondering what episode the third girl (Eniwa, Shiii) is coming in. Koguma's reaction seem so delayed and alien at times to normal conversations. Reiko will drop convo-starts and Koguma will take a few secs and just go on about something different lol. I would feel awkward being her friend but Reiko seems completely at ease. Interesting dynamic, I look forward to seeing it develop |
| Koguma and Reiko's relationship is pretty fun to watch. This show portrays well the awkwardness of an extrovert trying to make friends with a super introvert. It's cute how Reiko is patient and doesn't mind her shyness. |
ConceitedModesty said: Why is her friend always shunning her every morning when she gets in class, but always invites her outside of class where no one is? Can someone explain this to me lol? Is she embarrassed of her or something? My interpretation is that she's such a total bike geek that she's oblivious to situations that don't directly involve them. There might be a role reversal brewing in there so that at some point Koguma's going to be the one explaining basic stuff. |
| Reiko is the perfect type of person that Koguma needed to start to change her life, little by little finding meaning in life. |
| Ah, that's why she couldn't go over 20, I think you're really interested in something when you dream about it, I'm happy for her. I dislike little fanservice, if I can call it that, but it's hardly noticeable. I think it is on the right track to be an excellent slice of life anime in its genre. |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
| Kogami's smile made my day :D |

| That piano at the end was amazing. Seeing that dude's goggles inspired her to buy his goggles instead of the expensive ones, seeing her smile made me happy. |
 |
| Every time she smiles it makes me smile too. You can tell that she's really proud of her Cub, and that's really sweet. Also, I feel really excited and happy when she got those parts to upgrade her Cub. |
| Meh. This show goes so every often for contrived and convenient writing. Oh here, a random nameless professor just happened to overhear you got a cub and he just hands you a free frontal basket with all the attachments needed. You want a top case? no problem, the rich girl knows some other nameless guy that throw away his for just some snacks, no questions asked. Also, why the hell did they walk all the way into wherever the guy giving the top case for free, rather than ridding over there? You're telling me that 2 girls walked all the way back to the school premises carrying a heavy and bulky metallic top case? |
| PROTEC that smile!! |
 |
| Man, the level of wholesomeness for this series has been turned up a notch and I'm glad for it, too! =3 Reiko might be too into her book reading to give anything more than a "mhmm" to Koguma each morning, but once lessons are over, she's always around Koguma, as her fellow friend and Cub enthusiast who wants to help out. She went out of her way with her links to help get Koguma and storage box and a front basket for her Cub. However, Koguma didn't want to over at 30kph due to the increased wind resistance hitting her exposed face, so she and Reiko searched on "goggles" (the answer was in front of them the whole time!) to look up different wind shields for helmets, before Koguma had the inspiration from a builder in the library to buy safety goggles instead and for a good price, too. The end result after all of that was a Koguma, now travelling faster and more confidently as well as having Reiko's phone number, being more satisfied than ever that she even had a dream of herself riding on her Cub. Seriously, the smiles she gave off in this episode is something that's worth protecting with your whole life. This cinnamon roll deserves a lot of happiness, bless her. ^_^ |
| What an amazing episode. Kogami's smile was very cute, and I loved the scene where she was buying the goggles, very cute. |
   Has a 8.60 mean score Akasaka > Other Mangakas  |
| This could have been the final episode of the whole thing and I would have been satisfied. Shows how good this anime has been. Loved seeing our girl Smiling a lot this episode and her life becoming more colorful and happy |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| This show just keeps on delivering week after week. The relationship progression between Koguma and Reiko is so nicely done, slow but steady she opens up towards Reiko. Their dynamic right now is such a pleasant watch. It was so lovely to see that Koguma was able to give her Cub some small upgrades, the storage box and the front basket. The best part of the upgrades was Koguma wanting to go faster but the wind resistance also increased as she was speeding up, so she wanted a windprotector. I love how Reiko brought her to the school PC and it said "Goggles" instead of google and what did she get in the end, Goggles... Smart! The changes in Koguma are still so pleasant to experience and that goofy smile, man I can't get enough of it. So heartwarming and precious. Right now this is by far AOTS for me. |

| I bought a Rebel 250 yesterday after watching the first 2 eps of Super Cub. I wanted to get a Super Cub but it was outside of my price range. Despite having never drove a motorcycle before, I could relate too much with Koguma and her lack of any genuine hobbies, that monotonous grind. I've been smiling a lot the last 2 days and riding it a lot around the area. It's really fun. Super Cub is the best seasonal anime, watching Koguma have the biggest smile while zooming around on her Super Cub ahhh, comfy. Pic related, Rebel 250. https://i.imgur.com/cKdwFxX.jpg |
| I love this show because I felt like Koguma when I got my first car. And had relationships with fellow drivers like the one she has with Reiko. Exactly the same: you love that car/cub/whatever, and you just want someone to have fun and share these feelings with the same interest and passion. Then, before you realize it, you become friends. The progression of the story, the visual storytelling (character movements and facial expressions, camera angles and shots), the slow but firm character development is wholesome. And the heartwarming component is top. Although as Kimura said before in another post this show has a lot of convenient writing and still lacks Koguma's backstory (very important to know why she acts and lives the way she does), the fact it feels so real for me makes it one of the best anime of the year so far. |
| It's so wholesome watching how genuinely happy she gets over the simple upgrades to her "setup."| |
| Ohh, I would've never thought of using goggles, lol. It's light and works for blocking the wind. I'm guessing it doesn't rain often there, since that would definitely not be sufficient on rainy days. I 100% needed the face shield since it rained a lot where I lived in Taiwan :') Also the wind can kind of dry out your skin, so I always had the face shield down even with normal weather. But anyways, another comfy episode. There definitely are a lot of plot conveniences, but I think Koguma deserves all the luck coming her way. I do wonder why they didn't ride their Cubs to bike repair place though, but I suppose it would've been inappropriate (or weird?) to install the container there. I think I just answered my own question. Next episode is about a part-time job...things are really changing in Koguma's life, I'm happy for her :) |
| That last monologue was more emotional and effective than every motorbike propaganda in the world. |
| THOSE SMILES!! MUST PROTECT!! |

Ozean said: That last monologue was more emotional and effective than every motorbike propaganda in the world. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" Honda's slogan. Honda has sold 100 million supercubs to this day. How many cubs has Kaguma sold with her soliloqui? or how many people's lives has she changed with those words? |
