Super Cub epitomizes the slow pace, with as much focus on the bike as on the characters, but the result is a delightfully cozy anime.
Kodoani.com – There are a number of popular casual anime to get viewers’ motives spinning, but a 2021 anime is underrated by all. Based on a web novel/light novel series, Super Cube is the cool motorcycle version of Initial D that turns product placement into an amazingly relaxing story.
Super Cube is the epitome of a slow-motion film series that focuses as much on the basics of the cub as its characters, but the result is a delightfully cozy show. The fact that this is essentially a giant trailer for the most produced motor vehicle ever only enhances the level of originality of the anime, both in terms of themes at the top level. surface level as well as the view of depression in adolescents. Here is an interesting article to learn about what Super Cub is and why it is the best casual anime of 2021.
The Super Cub anime is based on the novel series by Tone Koken and Hiro which started again in 2016. The story is based on a young high school student named Koguma who lives a life instead of boredom and loneliness. With no parents, friends, hobbies or even work, she doesn’t have any real inspiration or joy in her life. All that changed one day when she bought a Honda Super Cub 50 for cheap, opening up a whole new world. Revived by his new mode of transportation, Koguma begins to see life in a new light. She also makes new friends in Reiko and Shii Eniwa, and together, they go on various adventures around town.
The Honda Super Cub itself is a hugely popular “underbone” (or motorcycle) motorcycle, produced continuously since 1958 to become the most produced motor vehicle of all time. This means that the show has a lot of product placement, especially given the popularity of cub cars across Japan in real life. Despite the attention to advertising and accompanying focus on motorcycle maintenance mechanics, the Super Cub still offers a profound story that is quite unique compared to many ordinary stories.
Super Cub acts like a reality series because of how well it shows the essence of the genre, especially compared to its contemporaries. Many life stories are often humorous with how crazy and bizarre some of their characters are. This is especially true when it comes to romance. Super Cub is the exact opposite of this, having characters that are cold, quiet, and really quiet.
The story’s actions and developments are very similar, often with less of a thick plot in each episode. For example, the first episode only covers the basic steps for Koguma to become a cyclist – getting his license, buying gear, and learning how to even start the bike. So basic that she even forgot to add more gas to the car to start it up again. It is this calm and relaxed tone that makes the film a peaceful joy to watch, with viewers really feeling attuned to the soothing experience with Koguma. This is especially interesting for motorcyclists and motorcyclists, who get to watch someone learn the basics of the hobby in a narrative way.
In a way, the anime also deals with themes of depression and loneliness, with Koguma having to consider before buying his bike. After that, she opened up a whole new possibility of existence, finding it much easier to live and love life. While things don’t seem to “move” much in some episodes, there’s still some strong character development and progression, not to mention some stunning post-trip scenes.
Finally, each episode of Super Cub is a snapshot of Koguma’s improved life, showing how a change of habit and a respectable car can come back to life even while being forgotten.
