Bakuon, Moe on motorbikes

Hoooly shit. That new episode was...

Well, so much for showing this to anybody I know.

Oh god, this episode!

Cup of immortality is a Suzuki collectible.

Rin is such a nice girl. Even to foxes.

I like how they all just start filming the suicide attempt instead of helping.

The size DOES matter... the size of your heart that is.

Uh huh, that's some interesting drunk behavior. At least now they can blackmail her into being the advisor.

That... that was honestly the most in your face out of nowhere fanservice scene I've seen. I burst out laughing.

Rin confronted her childhood nemesis. But thanks to a little push from God, she forgave them.

Ms. Saruyama's one wild drunk.

Whoa, Lime's phone sure is retro.

Heh, it's been a long while since I last saw a car wash scene in media. Also, I hate it when the weather decides to rain on a hour or two's effort in making vehicles shine right after its over.

Thank goodness Rin really isn't a dick to foxes. And I am so relieved she didn't lose the grail OMG.

Wow, they're really laying it on thick trying to butter up their teacher.

Raimu, blushing through her helmet.

Raimu, carrying around an ancient telephone, probably made by Alexander Graham Bell.

Somebody stop Saruyama, please.

Dat ecchi doe.

What the f

Ohh no they got Rin in on it.

The bike rejected her.

Raimu best grill.

Yeah, the bike wash is where you REALLY see the mangaka's pedigree.

Interesting to note how Hijiri's much more buxom in the anime. I don't remember her being so... stacked in the manga (as that was usually Rin's thing).

Oh man Frizzy's brothers are such 'unintentional' pervs, those drills lol.

The next episode should be a funny one if only for those goofy customized bikes.

Those bike modifications.

The principal sure is easygoing to allow a bike race with gambling.

Everyone knows plasma increases performance.

Those drills sure would make the ride more exciting.

Safety first.

So is Raimu a spoof on Eternal 17? If she had an actress would it be Kikuko Inoue? :p

Kikuko already voiced Baita though.

Ah, the utterly silly side to modding and tune-ups.

Episode 7:

The race was as great as it was nonsensical. It even included that thing that somehow cools down the engine when you drive over it. And high school girls rioting over the race. And Biker Jesus making prediction. Amazing.

Thankfully the best bike won.

updated artwork has been released

Should we replace the current image on the page with the new key visual?

They have one with Chisame in it? Neat. I don't mind.

The race was quite exciting. a nice way for the Bike Club to get some publicity. Hijiri should be proud of herself. Now will the club actually get a deluge of members? Highly unlikely.

Now they all know the greatness of Suzuki! But not the Suzuki Rin advocates for.

Tazuko gambled hard and lost hard. Also, never gamble money gained through pensions...

Bikes shouldn't be used on public roads? Interesting view you got there, Chisame.

Christmas episode!

Hijiri family just uses money for everything. How convenient. Unfortunately you can't just buy the ability to ride a bike, so she sucks at it.

Hijiri is crazy. Good thing she got a durable bike.

Christmas! Which means presents. And is there a better present that your own miniature? Rin is a genius.

So the moral is that bikes are a lot of work, but they are fun?

New Episode:

End of the year.

A new character.

Mini bikes are super cute.

What's the deal with Raimu-senpai anyway?

That was a much better horeographed than one would think, given they had only a hour.

As always this show just does whatever it wants.

Ah, so that's why Chisame's against bikes on public roads; it restricts freedom! And she's kinda on the short side.

For all her coolness, Onsa loses her cool in front of a packed audience.

What Hane was so inspirational, Chisame's Rider Soul burned anew!

OVA:

The journey is more important than the destination. Especially since buying canned coffee and then riding for hours produced the intended result.

I don't think the mystery of Raimu-sempai will be solved anytime soon, even in the manga. I'm kind of figuring that it would take her meeting Jesus Christ to even get a hint about what's up with her.

And poor POOR Tazuko, still unmarried when you find out that your old clubmate has a fifteen-year old kid already, and she's enrolling in your school too!

I can't feel too sorry for her when I see her bike though.

Her monster road bike is more or less a reaction to her realizing that Raimu-sempai was still around though. I mean, she admitted that she bought it to gloat at Raimu.

Onsa really is such a brat sometimes.

What was Raimu even doing there?

The curse of broken bike model is serious businesses.

I still don't get the digs this show takes at Suzuki.

True! But you know what? I'd still date a woman with her issues if she rode a bike like that.

"It's not my fault that women likes motorcycles. They're basically big vibrator. With wheels."

Well, at least we now know how you do a character song for a person who doesn't speak. Those throttle effects...

And yeah, with Chisame around, it's definitely feeling more like K-On post-Azusa.

I really like how this series actually focuses on the biking, instead of just using it as an excuse for having cute girls do cute things. Makes for much more interesting show.

Rin's tsundere-ness ruins Chisame's exit strategy.

And Chisame's dad joins the ranks of hidden face folks. How is it that Onsa's dad gets a face?
