THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It may be another cold day but with everyone together, it seems everyone can get by just fine.

Lol @ the small bits of fan service. Classy. However, I think this episode did a decent at job showcasing how everyone is adapting with the cold days.

I gotta say this episode must be the dumbest thing I've seen in a while...
> calls her koguma instead of emergency numbers
> koguma doesn't even call for an ambulance or police
> letting Shii ride on the basket
> all the cub talking makes it sound like they all have brain problems

like hell Shii fell off a cliff! She could have had a broken bone somewhere, but no! Just take a bath and you'll be fine... It started with breaking the laws which slowly escalated to other things I just don't know what this anime is trying to do.

Seeing Chii being shy while Reika was walking around half naked without a care in the world was funny, Koguma did know how to deal with her tho.
Koguma staying so stoic even when rescuing Chii was a bit awkward tho, but that's just the way she is.
Still it was nice of her to help out even even offer a place to stay for the night with a hot bath.
Reiko also helped out but she was clearly treating the place like her own but for her the same applies as Koguma, it's just the way she is.

On a cold Winter's night, Koguma is done for the day, but Shii got herself into mortal danger on the cat trail, all while playing the classic Vivaldi in the background, and Koguma didin't call the police or ambulance? Koguma carrying Shii in the front basket of her Super Cub...eh that's not how you transport injured people. All this "drama" just to claim the part that the girls are instinctively brain-dead.
--> DK about the LN, but the manga is explicit that Shii tells Koguma not to call for help.

Anyways, with that "horrific" accident out of the way, Koguma treats Shii with utmost care back at her home...and a wee bit of fanservice, while munching on curry udon. Oh look, Shii has recovered fully...slightly, but her Alex Moulton bike is fully totaled in the harsh Winter season, and the desperate need for Spring to come immediately with a new granny bike as replacement.

As soon as Winter came and went, Spring will come "in a little while" soon, and sightseeing the cherry blossoms as a significant start to the new season, already looking forward to the future with their Super Cubs. An introduction, a middle, then a strong ground.

Ths episode came and went by quite fast.

So glad Shii is ok. Some really sweet moments with she and Koguma today. Overall all 3 of the girls have shown an incredible amount of growth since we first met them. Sad there’s only a little more of this show to go, definitely been one of the biggest surprises of the season for me

Koguma got there on time and rescued Shii chan and I'm glad that Shii is alright. I don't know how to feel about carrying someone in the front of the bike in the winter when you just came out of cold water. LOL. But hey, they managed to hang out at Koguma's place.

I felt very bad for Shii and her bike. The poor girl was crying. Shii's parents gave Koguma and Reiko a one-year free pass of coffee and sandwiches as a token of appreciation for saving their daughter. Well, they're going to Kogushima to see Cherry Blossoms.

Gladfully, Shii is safe. Isn't Shii too small? She can even fit into the front basket.
A few drama moments from Shii when she loses her bike. I hope that Koguma and Reiko will bring back her happiness soon with the sakura.
Will they really go to Kagoshima next? That's more than 1,000 km from their home.

Seriously what the fuck. Shii should just cut ties with these people, they're idiots (and most likely sociopaths). Incredibly dumb episode.

In fact slapping is OK, it's a short shock that causes body to became active again for a short period of time. When one is losing consciousness it's one of the ways to get it back. Medics do this too.

Came here to say this. Also, she seemed to show psychopath levels of concern for her friend, meaning none. May be best she stick to cubs only after all.

Don't get me wrong, I love this show but I strongly dislike this episode. I guess there is no 911 in Japan but still it's mind boggling to watch they didn't even try to reach out the police or her parents first. This is a big no no for a series try to be slice of life also it's greatly out of character for Koguma. This kind of behavior seriously could harm people.

That was so sad for Shii to be honest, I felt really bad for her when she was laying down in the river... at least she got saved but it would be better if they called the police to be honest, and she even got slapped xD poor girl, it's also sad for her bike :/

@Bbqbear Okay, that's a lot better to know! What was the anime crew thinking, lol?

Also, Kougama-san just put Shii-chan on the basket? There's a significant chance that one could break a bone or two by falling from a cliff, honestly. Like many above, the whole segment certainly more goofy to me as well.

Rest of the episode however, it's back to the usual stuff which is good.

Off to Kagoshima next? Boy, that's going to be a long journey.

For once I actually recognised the orchestral piece playing in the background.

Literally no urgency in rescuing Shii there, Koguma just walked up, said "don't be such a baby, ribs grow back," and stood there for a hot minute making calls.

I don't even want to comment on putting someone in a bike basket, since episode 5 I've come to accept the bullshit and just enjoy the anime Honda ad as is.

Moulton, you've been a real good bike. You've stuck with Shii through thick and thin, through summer heat and winter cold, through rocky roads and muddy trails. You've been a friend as dear as any other, always by Shii's side, 'til the bitter end. Your journey with Shii may be over, but there's still a long road ahead of you in bike-paradise. Ride on, Moulton; you've been a real good bike, maybe even the best.

This episode made me facepalm so hard.

A good atmosphere is more important than good writing in this kind of anime and that's why I still think it's above average, but I'll have to lower the score from 9 to 8.

Not only that this episode was animated by the "B Team", it was even more obvious to me that the script needed one or two more rewrites.
This episode was terrible, I wrote a long rant explaining why but I'm not in the mood to translate to "gringo speak" now, so maybe latter.

"My Super Cub is coming to the rescue"

Koguma got a year of free bread and sandwiches after attempting to murder Shii lmao, everything she did there was a terrible idea, didn't even call for an ambulance for someone freezing to death, put Shii in the basket in front of the windshield for even more cold hitting her... I'm dying.

Rest of the episode was alright but that scene felt so absurdly forced and out of place, only missed a "that wouldn't have happened if you had a Super Cub."

Well, it's nice to see Koguma trying and everything ending up being well, but she was completely incompetent.
Not sure why she was stalling so much, while in case of hypothermia every second matters.

Btw, It's funny to see you guys expecting SNK level of writing, in this clearly goofy SOL, who is mainly focusing on it's twist. Xd

What a joke and disappointment. It just getting worse and worse. Does dialogues makes sense anymore? Like that last one about cherry blossom?
MC is pretty autistic, thats for sure.

I mean, i liked this series up to 9th episode. It was fine. I liked that realistic take, and some kind of immersion... But now, what the hell is going on here.

I dont get how she couldnt stand by herself but then she could climb something. I thought that she had some broken bones or something like that but was it the cold water? That wouldnt make sense either because she could have stand by herself anyways. Like I could get irrational decisions but that still confuses me and seems like just a forced way to input some SUPER CUB SUPERPOWERS into action. The dialogue around the cub are cringe as always, but the atmosphere was cute so i dont care

She put the poor girl in the basket. Shii ain't Nezuko. Komura probably has watched too much Demon Slayer. That's what you call peak autism.

Jokes aside, the episode wasn't too bad.

For majority of this show's run I've seen people declare this show an iyashikei (healing) anime but I never fully felt that watching this. Maybe in the initially few episodes when Koguma was brightening up due to her Cub yeah, but this episode just felt extremely off. There have been plenty of other occasions where this show has done thing most iyashikei anime definitely wouldn't have.

Koguma wtf are you doing you should have called an ambulance.

Koguma's behavior in the novel is apparently highly questionable at times as well.
https://twitter.com/BuddyWaters/status/1396214072719278081
Super Cub, the novel
In a chapter that sadly didn't make the anime, Koguma spots a boy with a flat tire, and changes it for him. But he talks about his Cub like it's a cool toy his dad bought for him, so when he tries to buy her lunch she kicks him in the kneecap and drives away.
