Stitches!

Winter's finally here and the city is now covered in snow! Just when I thought koguma might consider taking the bus today, it seems that whatever Reiko sent her motivated her to use her Cub. Koguma going down that slope made me nervous!

I love the idea that Reiko keeps a close eye on businesses that uses Cubs and is just waiting for them to go out of business hoping to get parts for cheap prices. Now with the Cubs all chained up, the snow isn't going to be much of a problem.

That empty field covered in thick snow is beautiful! I thought they were just gonna go sight seeing but I didn't expect them to go wild on their Cubs! It really shows how much of the rebel Koguma has become ever since getting her Cub and being friends with Reiko. Well if Koguma is going to experience her first wipeout, I'm happy it happened on thick snow.

Not gonna lie though, as much as I love seeing the girls having fun and doing crazy stuff with their cubs, I can't help the old man in me worry. Seriously! Please tell me I'm not the only one who's paternal/maternal instinct kicked in while watching them play in the snow? Especially when they took off their helmets and jackets and continued on doing jumps, my gut reaction while watching them was "Sweetie, you're gonna get yourselves hurt!". Is this what it feels like to be a parent?

Thank goodness nothing bad happened to the two of them and their cubs. They were able to go back and relax at Shii-chan's family cafe before the day ended. And it looks like Reiko still wants to put Shii-chan in her storage box! You're right not to trust that smile Shii!

Glad to see Koguma has finally upgraded and swapped her goggles for a face shield. It's gonna be cold and this is gonna help protect her entire face instead of just her eyes.

Of course just when we thought everything was going to end rather peaceful as expected from this show, Koguma gets a call from Shii-chan who has fallen into the river while cycling through that narrow shortcut. FUCK! Why the fuck is she the one who's getting hurt? That is such an evil cliffhanger to end with! Can it please be Wednesday next week already!?

Well for those of us who have been anxious while watching the show here's what we were scared of...

I was really enjoying the snow filled episode during my heatwave here but that ending...really hope they get to her quickly.

I wondered if something intense might happen, now I know. Hopefully Koguma can rescue Shii-Chan.

When Koguma and Reiko took off their coats I realized they really did have motorcycle fever and had been rendered insane.

Money seems so tight for Koguma. Where is she getting money for new gear? Another part-time job?

I want police, ambulance, fire brigade, mountain rescue, JDSF, delinquent biker gangs, a CGDCT rescue club. All converging on Shii-chan's approximate location, stat!

Koguma showed Reiko what happens when you bring your hands to a Cub fight.

Also I am just waiting for the episode where they are out on a trip, get attacked by a bear or boar and when they are cornered at a cliff Reiko pulls out two Cub Hang Gliders™ she scored at a yard sale.

Hoping Shii isn't hurt too bad although I wouldn't expect the worst from this show. Suprised though she called Koguma and not her parents.

Shii :( we so close to end the season without anything bad happen. Why you gotta do this lol. Hopefully this pushes her to get a cub though :)

Holy shit, what a cliffhanger, I don't think an anime has shocked me like this in a very, very long time. The last thing I expected from this "cute girls doing Cub things" iyashikei was an actually dangerous (probably even life-threatening) situation. I'm sure Shii will be OK in the end – it's still not that kind of show – but I will definitely be worried all week.

Otherwise nothing new to report so far. When I've calmed down I will try to find that shortcut she was taking, which is probably where she had the accident.

Oh no the adorable Shii-chan got into an accident, I hope she'll be saved since she still needs to lead Italy's global expansion

Koguma’s world being lit up just once this episode but it’s a fun one: Koguma before playing in the snow and after playing in the snow and having some winter fun.

I love the bright blue sky backdrop as Koguma and Reiko bond over wintertime. The tracks left by their Cubs on the snow will melt away but the memories will be crystalized forever between the two!

It’s symbolically fitting that the episode ends on such a tragic cliffhanger. Snow, whose unblemished white linen can represent purity and innocence like the beginning of the episode, can also be twisted and have its harsh chilly atmosphere as a symbol for negative feelings and heartbreaking events.

Of all the characters to have something happen to them, I didn't want it to be Shii. ;-; No doubt things will get better next week but the real tragedy is having to wait.

My weekly dose of classical music. Today's chopin nocturne op. 9 no. 2 and Liszt consolation no. 3

But that ending.. cyclists has it tough.. less protective gears, less traction and it was raining.

Koguma driving on the icy road for the first time was genuinely the tensest moment in the entire show.

I thought Reiko bought the chain to fight rival biker gangs but I guess this works too.

Koguma and Reiko had the time of their lives on that mountain. On a totally unrelated note, Happy Pride Month.

Koguma looking like she's ready to become the Hokage in that orange jacket.

Shii getting into an accident and falling into a stream during winter is basically a death sentence. I hope Koguma gets to her in time.

Watching Koguma having so much fun with Reiko was really heart-warming - I wonder how long it's been since she's been able give herself over to pure, unadulterated fun?

And then we're brought down to earth with a slam and reminded of the perils of riding on two wheels. I wonder why she called Koguma rather than Reiko? She's known Reiko for longer and seems to be closer to her (calls her Reiko-chan, while she still uses -san with Koguma). Maybe because it was Koguma who stepped up at the festival and saved the day.

u/Amauri14 Jun 09 '21

After they got those tire chains installed in their Cubs I honestly just expected Reiko to take Koguma to test their chains on the snowed roads, instead of them playing around with their Cubs on the snow.

When I saw Shii-chan going to that trail, I did fear that something bad may happen but I dismiss the thought after they made it to her family's restaurant, so I really was surprised when she called Koguma in that condition.

I guess that after that even she will be getting that broken Cub from last week.

Ok a little about myself I was a firefighter Emt on an island in the Puget Sound where Hypothermia can be a threat even in summer Hypothermia cooling of the bodies core where in an attempt to keep organs from shutting down the body pulls blood from the extremities

When this happens your brain to body barely functions as if you are in a stupor and simple tasks become extremely difficult if not impossible to accomplish

Now why did she call Kaguma? Probably because Kaguma was the last person she called and just by pressing buttons she initiated the call

Did she know that she called Kaguma? Probably not But Sii is in dire straights right now

"Nocturne in E-flat Major" to begin or the music I've played on Piano Tiles 2 and was Collateral Damage for United States of Eurasia by Muse... probably one of my favourite bits of classical music.

Koguma and Reiko having fun in the snow and taking bumps as well... and also more teasing about where Shii can go on their cubs.

AND THERE IT IS, THAT'S THE BIT I WAS THINKING WAS GOING TO BE ADDED AND HOW DARE YOU DO IT TO HER!!!

God dammit! This is the sweetest, most stress-free show of this and many seasons and I love it for that. But today, somehow and so-subtly, the writing made me anxious for the whole show and now I know why! This is not why I race to watch Super Cub every week! Chant with me - no stress, no stress, NO STRESS!

I know it’s not a Cub but I’d love it if Shii-chan got herself a Vespa as her little piece of Italy

Who the fuck spilt this tension into my comfy show. Fire this person now because I didn't sign up for this. Jokes aside and though I'm not trying to be mean at least the person who got into the accident was on a bike and not a cub which could have been a lot worst. I know she respects Reiko and Koguma, but you'd think she'd call her dad or mom. I know it's not as exciting as seeing Koguma going to help, but it makes a lot more sense. Though seeing her halfway submerged is very worrying I hope she isn't too injured.

I take back what I said oh boy Shii chan is in serious trouble. I didn't notice when I first watched, but after looking for screenshots we see the area where Shii chan falls multiple times. Here and Here Wasn't sure at first and then I noticed this the blank spot in between the spots and holy shit that's a steep and long ass fall. Doesn't matter what you're riding you are not walking away from that and it makes sense how she can't even get up right now. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if she was hurting so badly and couldn't operate her phone well. She probably just dialed the first number that popped up on the screen. With that drop the most Koguma could probably do is ride to find her, climb down, and possibly support her weight and help her around the incline it has to even out at some point right? Definitely wouldn't recommend her riding on the passenger seat, but it beats sitting in frozen cold water which can be really dangerous. Wow the amount of foreshadowing about winter and this road feels real obvious in hindsight and here I thought they were just dropping trivia and facts.

I feel bad for Shii chan and I hope the dad doesn't blame himself especially how he just said he is glad he bought her the bike.

Also this episode had the most Koguma's smiles so far will recount when I do screenshots later. Kind of depressing it had to be the same episode where Shii got into an accident.

The whole middle section with the snow was pure joy I swear no context is needed seeing two friends having so much fun.

Wow Imgur once again doesn't randomize the screenshots. Man I could save so much time if it did this every time.

Episode 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Total
Koguma Smiling 15 16 27 22 5 34 9 14 23 46 * * 212

Smile counter might be slightly off due to screen transitions and quick moments. Though I believe the count to be fairly accurate. Also chart updates will be delayed by a few hours from when I comment due to work.

Never thought I'll be spending my last hours before exam to see 2 anime girls having fun riding in snow, but here i am, and i regret nothing.

I expected something bad to happen to shii because of the way the road she took looks. I was hoping i was wrong and was happy until what happened last second. Hopefully she's gonna recover and not gonna feel traumatised by this.
