I'm prolly not gonna watch past episode 1 but now i'm motivated to get my old-rear end Kawasaki from '82 through the inspection again and go for some serpentines, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.




edit: i just realized that my bike is older than me
not sure how to feel right now

Being an adult means going to the dealer every time you need a touch up.

I would very much like a prequel series about Principal and Raimu as kids.

Putting Nos on your bike is some Evangelion poo poo.

HOLY poo poo EXCITEBIKE

If it's any consolation, this episode does not have any weird poo poo. I think last episode was just an outlier.

IIRC in Japan it actually is a requirement that you be able to lift the bike, since I've heard it said in other Japanese media.

Who among is both a weeb and a motorcyclist? I feel like that group isn't huge (although they're definitely out there) and there's gotta be people watching this show who are either only motorcyclists, watching for that reason, or anime nerds watching because anime, many(?) of whom I assume watch due to a varying degree of mechanical interest, but don't have a bike (yet?).

Bakuon is fun as hell, and it's like K-On actually talked more about playing music.

I just wish the sidecar motorcycle could have been a Ural, doubly so after I watched and saw the grizzled Pacific War veteran butler dude. What a Ducati would be doing in occupied Harbin is beyond me but hey, sidecars rule.

I'm giving very real thought in selling my Honda Elite scooter for a 125cc bike, but the two or three available in the US are all 3/4 size and I'm a tall dude. I think I'll look like a clown.

If they make an S2, she'll join, but I think she'll stay aside character since they haven't even gotten to Kurisumasu/New Years and the school year ends/starts in spring.

A BMW-powered three-wheeled vehicle. Looks like a motorcycle with a sidecar except the sidecar is an integral part of the vehicle and has a car-like rear axle setup.

There's also an Audi-diesel-powered one as well.

As it turns out... They actually did a great job splicing Chisame into the OP.



Also, I didn't realize her name was actually Nakano Chisame. Author does not give a gently caress.

Yeah, the first time I saw her in the OP I was like "wait, was that...." and then she kept showing up and I was laughing. It was well done.

Updated OP with Azusa Chisame.

Also, the principal should just get married to Raimu already.

Bakuon's K-on Club with their hit song "Rice is the main dish" "Potatoes is the main course".

Also, the stage act was a parody of Yowamushi Pedal's ridiculous live action thing.

Chisame really should have been in this show from a lot earlier. She adds just the right sort of pseudo-tsukkomi voice to round out the cast and make the cast's interactions feel more natural.

Does something like that BDSM balance harness actually exist?
