Longest ad I have ever seen. It's not bad but it's not good either. It also feels intentionally mundane, especially the writing, but whenever it gets somewhat exiting it tends to ignore logic to get there so maybe it wasn't that intentional and it was just the best they do.

It was slow paced, but I wasn't bored for a single second. The MC though was a weird one and not very consistent. But what really made it loose a few points was ep 11, it was just so unrealistic and stupid, also the fact that they were all more thankful and more worried about their bikes and scooters than themselves and their friends ... how shamelessly materialistic. It didn't feel like a Honda ad for scooters at first, but then the official (mechanic recommended) Honda branded oil showed up and the MC saying "don't thank me, thank my Cub" ... ugh, I still recommend it but that could have been better. 6/10

I was skeptical, at first, thinking that this was just a stealth infomerical for Honda, but I broke down and watched it and I was thoroughly surprised.
Yes, it does the CGDCT trope, but does it in a less cheesy manner.
The MC is an orphaned high school girl on scholarship who has some self esteem issues, but one day, while looking at mopeds, the store owner offers her a special deal on a used Super Cub 50 and it causes her to come out of her shell, even making friends. Deep down, she's a sweet, kind girl who deserves better.
This is one of the most CHILL anime out there. I've already watched it 6 times and watching it yet again as I type this.
Honda did provide extensive technical support for the series because the creators wanted to be as realistic as possible, but it doesn't degenerate into infomercial cheesiness.

You know a slice of life is good when there's nothing happening and yet I'm laughing or smiling at all the small things that happen.
It's *very* slow pace tho. Like, Sato Junichi style. I can't remember when was the last time I've seen this pace since Aria/Sketchbook/Tamayura. Not a complaint, and it takes skill to make it good, but may not be everyone's cup of tea.
I guess it also counts as edutainment. But it should be treated like a slice-of-life with edutainment content.
I was not expecting this dark horse. If I dare to say, this is like a Yurucamp in dark-horseness, and while watching I was indeed reminded of Yurucamp, (And that's before considering that they both take place in Yamanashi) but without the cartoon comedy that Yurucamp also has.
This is a gem for the group of us that like this kind of stuff.
I delayed watching coz I thought this would be another Two Car lol. Luckily it isn't.

If you're a fan of iyashikei shows, this one is right up there with the best. A slice of life anime about a very isolated and intensely self-contained girl taking a step out of her comfort zone and growing out of her shell, making new friends and finding more resilience in herself than she knew she had.
My only real complaint would be that 12 episodes isn't enough, and I want to know more about their adventures. But far better to leave things unsaid than overcooked.

Don't be fooled by the pessimists, this is so much more than a Honda commercial. If they didn't keep showing hyper-realistic Honda emblems during the course of the series, you wouldn't even know they were involved.
Fans of Yuru Camp & Encouragement of Climb need to seriously consider this Anime. Excellent art direction, great soundtrack, meaningful character growth, and a singular dramatic moment that gets resolved fairly quickly. Otherwise, it's one of the most mellow edutainment Anime out there.
Fair warning, you might catch yourself doing the mental math to see if you can afford a used motorbike.

Maybe the first calming anime I've seen for years, that managed to keep me away from the time skip button. The feeling is just miles better, tho I just can't pin point the reason -- it's just better.
Usually If I can't think much of a reason, it's always the direction. Everything is nicely paced, great dynamic, excellent expressions, etc. Overall, for a slow anime, you get progression MUCH more than its peers. Nothing is ever empty activities.
I personally don't really care about the ads. If the loud minority are gonna be massively cynical about that, so be it (Hurr durr anti-corporate). But take that bias into mind when you see people's take on this show. In fact, them having high production value should be a plus.

episode appearance
appears in ep: 2-4, 6-12
female, , blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., clumsyA clumsy person is one lacking in coordination, and as such prone to often having accidents such as tripping, bumping into objects, or dropping things. In female characters, this is often thought of as endearing., moleA mole, also called beauty mark, beauty spot, beauty patch, and sometimes birthmark, is a type of visible, circumscribed, chronic lesion of the skin or mucosa that may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired. Such marks are sometimes considered an attractive feature, hence the beauty-related names, and they are medically known as nevus (plural: nevi), from naevus, Latin for "birthmark". They are not to be confused with the animals commonly called moles., necktieThe necktie (or tie) is a long piece of cloth worn around the neck or shoulders, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat., school uniformA type of uniform worn in Japanese schools (called "seifuku" in Japanese), generally high school age or younger. They can vary considerably; commonly, females will wear a sailor uniform (modelled off the British Royal Navy uniforms in 1920) and males will often wear a "gakuran", which is a dark button-up uniform modelled off Prussian army uniforms. But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., shortDescribes a person with below average height., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., studentA student or pupil is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. The may be understood to mean only those enrolled in some sort of educational institution, but, in its widest use, it applies to anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university, or younger researchers or artists learning from a more experienced colleague and mentor.

female, , adolescentAn adolescent (teenager) is 13 to 19 years old., black hairThe character has black hair., blazerBlazers and sport coats are two similar types of jacket. Both have a similar cut and length to a business suit jacket/blazer/coat and both generally have lapels, but blazers / sport coats are cut more casually. Stylistically, blazers and sport coats are often uniform garments, such as for airlines, schools, and yachting and rowing clubs., cardiganA cardigan is a type of sweater, typically a knitted garment, that has an open front., kneehighsKnee highs are a hosiery piece that covers the feet and rise up to, but not including, the knee, or slightly thereunder; they leave the knee exposed. Typically worn by women in western and other societies, they are sometimes worn with modern semi-formal dress. Hosiery that partly cover the knees, or fully cover and extend above the knees, are thighhighs / stockings., large breastsLarge breasts are breasts a fair notch larger than average, as found in some real life adolescent girls or fully grown women. They are bigger than medium breasts and smaller than huge breasts.
Note: This tag has many anime/character entries that need to be moved to the new medium and huge breasts tags. Please add the appropriate tag and remove this one from the corresponding anime/character afterwards., long hairLong hair is hair from (but not including) shoulder-length, up to (but not including) waist length hair. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., overeaterA character (who quite often is anything but fat) eats enough for an entire football team, usually devastating the whole table — and perhaps entire restaurants — with their insatiable hunger. Often combined with a speed-eating technique that makes food seem to vanish spontaneously from the plate.
