The rescue was, uh wild. I spent the whole time wondering when someone was going to call professionals or even her dad.

I super loved the way the colours changed later though.

Next time your family member falls in a ditch, don't call 911, call your local Honda (R) dealer.

Honestly, I thought not calling the ambulance and just doing it all with her and her Super Cub was 100% in character for Koguma.

its a rewrite from the manga. in the manga koguma wants to call an ambulance but shii-chan stops her cause she feels guilty about breaking her dad's expensive bike and doesn't want to worry her parents. she also princess carries shii-chan

This is a much more human scene rather than this weird thing we got in today's show.

Koguma just comes off as this weird alien who's totally unconcerned with the safety of Shii as she takes her time getting her out of the water, leaves her shivering on the side of the road while she calls her friend to ask if she wants to hang out at her place, and then drives the girl suffering from hypothermia back to her place in wet clothing without offering her coat in the basket of her bike while refusing to call emergency services.

She does still princess carry her in the anime when she dumps Shii into her basket.

For anyone watching Cramer, Crunchyroll has the movie up and I’d definitely recommend giving it a go. There’s a bunch of events that got referenced in the anime and I think it’s pretty clear they wanted this out before the anime but that didn’t happen. It actually shows us Onda being drat good at soccer (they finally hit that point in the anime as well, like, 10 episodes in). It’s a fun movie that really explores why Onda cares so much about soccer and her style of soccer.

13 minutes of wondering why everyone complained about this joran ep, then spent the rest of it laughing in disbelief

there is something kind of amazing about landing on roughly the proper ending but by taking the stupidest route possible

Jouran's has the potential to be good, some good visuals, decent plots points, action...yet it didn't come together at all and the end result is a pretty bad show. Probably the best looking bad show I've watched in awhile as recent ones have been production disasters as well as being bad

koguma is in general a lot nicer/sociable in some ways then the original work, which have a combination of her being socially incapable and her mentioning she does not care about others in general. in other ways they amplified her social incapability, for instance the scene where she drags the other schools teacher out to her cub without a word has her talk together with reiko to her in the manga

they also cleaned up a lot of the rougher edges from the original work to make it more advertiser friendly, like mentions of her mom, the nudism and the murder

Regarding Super Cub, I'm just gonna crosspost from twitter:

Koguma's handling of the rescue was patently awful but also a sharp bit of writing as a natural extension of who Koguma is. Her extreme isolation & lack of people to rely on has given her a wilful independence that leads her to try & solve problems by herself, but she's been totally reliant on her cub as a crutch for interacting with the outside world in any capacity, unable to consider even basic modes of concern that don't involve it as a mediator. Calling an ambulance isn't even part of her available grammar. (Note the externalizing language she keeps using: "My cub is coming", "thank my cub" etc.) Just letting the others into her home, her safe space, is a big step and clearly puts strain on her, she's totally emotionally ill-equipped to deal with Shii's entire situation

It's wild for an Iyashikei work to put its protag on a spot like this where all her worst qualities & insufficiencies are magnified to an extent that legit puts another's life at risk, but it works super well for contextualizing the end of the ep, where she becomes very aware of those and how far Shii is actually ahead of her as someone who can reach out to people intuitively & climb out of a depressive funk on her own resources without rebuilding her entire personality around A Honda Product™

(I do think it would've been interesting if this event put a strain on Koguma & Shii's relationship, but also I get that Shii is extremely the kind of person who'd see Koguma's approach as cool & mature rather than dangerously irresponsible)

I dunno man. Everyone around her, and even Shii's parents seems to think she did an awesome bang up job in her rescue. I don't think the author was making a point about Koguma being incredibly socially inept to the point of nearly killing Shii. I think it was supposed to be a legitimately heroic rescue.

The sequence itself isn't portrayed like that though, like Koguma doesn't even give Shii her jacket as would be the bare minimum for a heroic rescue, and then walks away from the miserably crumpled up Shii to awkwardly stand around & call up Reiko.
Like Shii's parents are happy but of course they found out about it after everything had turned out fine, I imagine if they'd seen it in the moment their opinion would've been different
But moreover in that reading the end of the episode makes no sense to me, having her do a triumphant rescue and then right after realize the helpless rescuee is actually way cooler than her doesn't add up

yeah it's straight up a honda ad and not subtle about it, but it's also a lot more earnest than that description would have you believe

I mean Yurucamp is also a thinly veiled camping equipment and tourist attraction ad, it's not really necessarily an indictment IMO as long as you handle it well enough. Super Cub mostly gets it right though it does sort of contribute to some tone issues like the past ep in a sense.
