One of the best of the year

As an Iyashikei lover, Super Cub already had what it takes to be one of my favorites, but it surprised me more than I expected.

We started with Koguma, who is a girl who has no family, friends or plans for the future, but when she finds a Honda Super Cub her life starts to become happier, and she meets Reiko who shares the same passion, and with that her life starts to change. Then we have the introduction of Eniwa, and how she is getting closer to Koguma and Reiko. And how it is somehow important for Koguma's change.

One of the things I liked the most is how they used colors to convey emotions, how we see most of the story from Koguma's point of view, we see the contrast, how the moments when she is happy everything turns to vivid colors. Using visuals to convey emotions, and creating greater immersion.

The anime manages to convey a message that happiness is sometimes in small things, and as Koguma herself said in the final lines of the anime, Cub alone would not make her change, change is something that comes from you, find some passion or desire that can make you move in that direction.

Throughout the anime, we see how Koguma was changing little by little. How to offer to help with the school festival issue, and her own personality during the anime. And as she and Reiko became closer, and Eniwa who saw the two as an inspiration to change, so much so that we see her devoting herself a lot to her plan for the restaurant.

It's a simple story, I know a lot of people don't like Iyashikei or Slice-of Life, but it would be great if people gave it a chance, or saw it from the side of the characters and their development. It's not a story with a big plot and twists, but a story about girls and their everyday life and overcoming the obstacles of everyday life. A wholesome anime, which at least for me, brings me a genuine feeling of happiness. I really wish she had more prominence, just like Yuru Camp△, another anime that I loved. It's much more than just an anime about Cute Girls Doing Cute Things, it serves that purpose, but it goes beyond that.

Not necessarily something I consider negative for anime, but I felt I could have explained why Koguma lives alone, which is information that if you only see the anime and don't look it up in other media, you'll never know.

Thanks if you read this far, I'm still developing my reviews. I hope that you enjoyed. And recommend the anime to everyone.
