Okay, I'm sorry, but this is getting ridiculous. What other topic has anime not covered yet, I mean we got Girls in Tanks for goodness sake. This whole, girls with/in [Insert hobby/activity] take started off as girls making a band [K-on] and has now escalated out of hand.

That aside, each girl strangely "fits" their bikes, next think you tell me is that they "are" the bike, which wouldn't be the first time that trope has been used in anime sadly. Girls being Soda Cans and Guns is pretty far out there so them being motorcycles is oddly tame if that is the direction they chose to go in.

So "K-On! with motorcycles" is getting a main cast member of K-On!, Yoko Hikasa, albeit in a supporting role?

Getting? Frankly even this has already been done, in the One Off OAV. Though that was also mostly an anime ad for only Honda motorcycles and scooters.

I'm one of those terrible awful people that likes watching cute girls doing cute things, though, so I'll be watching this, too. It might even... *gasp* be done well! And people might... *gasp!!!* enjoy watching it! The horror!

Everything is better with moe (save for brutal torture being inflicted on said characters).

Torture? Please no.

Damn it's a whole cast moe theme op and Ed. Was hoping for Uverworld to cover their tracks, joking of course.

I don't think you understand how great this is. The super easy way out would have been for the girl on Honda to have the family name Honda, which is extremely common.

But no, instead her given name is Hane, which means wing.

...and her little sister's name is read Yume, which means dream.


That's way to well done for anyone to get mad about.

Well I'm still watching this show when it premieres also I have to wonder if any of the Girls sleep with their motorcycle like what Homer did because if they do that would be hilarious. Laughing

But she's basically the spoiler[genderbent Stig]. So she's not need a voice in the first place, cause it's ruining a role.

Raimu's not the Stig, she's the Stig's Japanese cousin.
