In this episode:

"Your bikes are pretty cool, my granddad has one, maybe I'll ask him to let me have it"
"NO YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BUY A BRAND NEW HONDA® CUB™ AT YOUR LOCAL DEALER"

j/k but for real tho

Well Reiko is a Cub fanatic so I am not surprised she has some outlandish special parts/accessories.

I'm pretty sure she was either joking or being sarcastic but she's so deadpan it doesn't translate well.
to be fair this anime is technically an Ad for Honda even though the original novel wasn't

Hot take: I'm not fan of current Koguma as for now. Someone or something need to teach her a lesson.

I wouldn't say she needs to be taken down a peg, but I don't care for the influence Reiko is having on her.
I'm honestly curious if this show will have her get into a bike accident or something. Considering how light hearted this show is I doubt that will happen but it would be interesting to see this show do something like that.

I wish Koguma and Reiko would talk about stuff other than just their Cubs. Like it’s the only thing they have in common and they seem to now be besties.

At least they were not acting like delinquents this ep. lol. Although Koguma made some weird comments at the end. She’s definitely changed quite a bit since ep 1.

New girl is ok, hope she gets her own Cub soon, should liven things up.

Based on what - something she did or said in this episode?

Weakest episode by far. With an outsider around, our Cub duo's oddness is quite obvious. What a strange exchange at the end, unnecessarily smug and condescending.


Odd because they have a passionate hobby or aren't much into socializing apart from that?

SparkleDuck said:
This show might honestly be the biggest waste of my time out of all the currently airing stuff. Oh well.


Because its pacing is slow in a way you consider detrimental to the whole or there is something else you find lacking or otherwise objectionable?

Which conversation and scene are you referring to? Or are you just talking about it in the context of the episode as a whole? Reiko is clearly a Cub otaku who isn't interested in dealing with others outside of her hobby (even her friendship with Koguma is predicated on this basis of a shared special obsession and niche - niche for their school and age group anyway - alternative lifestyle, and on that basis alone). She didn't even change her personality one iota or show Koguma any false pleasantries when wanting to engage her about the bike issue in the earlier episodes.

And for Koguma, it's a newfound identity and like a super limited in-club for a girl who has probably never felt like a part of anything in her life. Even her school, non-existent friend circle, and family. She's also obviously an introvert and maybe a Schizoid/SPD or on the spectrum to boot.

One of examples is how she laughs when Shii offered cup of coffee, that's not polite. And also the way she gave advice to Shii regarding about learning riding is very cold, though it's more of the sentences she used, the advice is good.

I'm loving the development around Koguma and Reiko.

MC being influenced by Reiko is interesting because she sounds different from the usual characters, who are always trying to be helpful and super kind because you know, protagonist has to be a "model to the ones watching". I feel she is more realistic this way, even though it means lots of people will actually dislike her.

And I don't think they were laughing at Shii when she offered coffee, but to the fact that Reiko was just talking about coffee a moment ago. Laughing at the coincidence. Wouldn't say that is disrespectful. But it changes from person to person.

Yeah, I felt Koguma was being kinda smug towards Shii when she said that. Also that comment she made to the teacher about buying a new cub instead. And what about earlier when they heard the announcement for help with the cultural festival (and Koguma pretty much says that the Reiko's gloves are a priority).

Damn, this episode really changed my opinion about Koguma lol. She seems really cold, self-centered, and distant from others (even from Reiko sometimes!)

This was firstly a testament of dedication to her passionate shared interest with Reiko and, secondarily, a modest display of affection for Reiko as an extension of that. It highlights an inward focus of her worldview, personality, and disposition and interestingly, shows that Reiko is the same way despite the two not being identical or carbon copies of each other in style or demeanor at all really. It contrasts the pair nicely with the rest of the class in which they are as an island.

Remember, Reiko, despite never being portrayed as particularly shy, never once displayed any outward interest in friendships or other relationships apart from her Cub focus and only initially approached Koguma on that basis alone. That the two can block out the other noise and fuss around them and share this is like a building block for their relationship. It gives it warmth and character. If they treated everyone equally and Cubs as just another humdrum topic on par with the rest of the class' goings-ons then nothing would distinguish them and they'd have no reason to find such solace in one another.

The part where the teacher from the other school said "I wouldn't mind that kind of trouble" made me pause and think for a bit about what they meant. Koguma's reaction was exactly how I reacted at first. But after getting the joke, my reaction was exactly like Reiko's reaction. Let me explain what they meant.

It's actually quite simple. Reiko mentioned that using a used/secondhand cub would only invite trouble. And what kind of trouble is that? Yes, an accident. Now, the teacher said she wouldn't mind that kind of trouble; meaning, she wouldn't mind accidents. And the accident the teacher was referring to wasn't the kind you get from riding an old cub, it's the kind that you get from being involved with someone else.

I wasn’t even criticizing you for not caring. If it came off that way, I apologize. I was just making an observation based on how very little you acknowledged it (which included reading your review beforehand). Like it or loathe it, the use of this "trick" was probably one of the main reasons for why the palette looks the way it looks.

Lol, RIP to characters introduced with some derpy art as their first impressions. It's not too bad, but dang every time I see Shii it's like her eyes are like... o______o Eyes super far apart.
I guess I also just kinda don't like her design. Too similar to Koguma's, but okay.

But anyway, enjoyed the episode.

Whatever. [LATE EDIT] I’m just saying, you can't make this kind of retort insulting other people's opinions like that and expect anyone to take you seriously. That is a huge no-no on my book when it comes to these types of discussions. [END OF LATE EDIT]

it didn't really show in the earlier parts of the show bc she didn't really have anyone to talk to but this episode made me realise how funny koguma is. like literally the only reason she decided to help out with the festival is out of spite bc some people said that the job would be impossible with bikes 😭 come on that's great.

CGDCT. Capable Girls Doing Cool Things.

This episode begins with the debut of Reiko's new Hunter Cub CT110. Quite an upgrade over her old surplus postie MD90. (MD was short for Mail Delivery.) Reiko has already made a number of modifications to it, adding parts with her trademark blue color. The new Cub even has a digital combination odometer/speedometer/tachometer with a lighted LCD, definitely something Reiko added. And she announces she has already put 1000 km on the new bike! Reiko is fast becoming a motorcyclist's dream girl.

The highlight of the episode is the introduction of Shii. As she departs after a thank you gift of esspressos to Reiko and Koguma, Koguma says, "How sweet." I wasn't sure if she was referring to the coffees or to Shii.  Shii was very complimentary of the Cubs. 
I wonder if our petite barista is going to end up on a Super Cub as well. Seems like the Cub 50 or Cross Cub is made for small folks like her.

In this episode: Young ladies continue their quest to break every possible traffic law in Japan. Also, third girl finally makes an official appearance (she was actually visible before), and turns out to be possible the tiniest human being known to humanity (and the only one with visible upper teeth while talking).

In other news: Koguma gets high on sugar and speaks like a hardened cowboy who tamed 100+ wild horses.

Still, i really like how relaxing and peaceful this anime is, despite how cheap and simple it is.

I know that feeling of traveling on two wheels and that amazing feeling when you sit in the saddle and realize that you can go anywhere you want, this amazing feeling of freedom.

It reminds me of the times of my childhood, although i had never ridden a motorcycle in my life, but i had a bicycle and i traveled around the entire district on it. Those were glorious days.
