It’s a type of anime called Iyashikei or Healing Effect, one that’s designed with low or no stakes, just comfiness and good vibes. Usually heavy on the pleasing scenery shots, introspection, and cooking or some other leisure activity. It’s pure relaxation after a stressful day/week/life.

It tends to overlap a lot with Cute Girls Doing Cute Things, but that can sometimes have some impressive stakes - you’ve seen Girls Und Panzer. :3

Other shows like it are DIY (I presume), Flying Witch, Encouragement of Climb, Amanchu, Super Cub, Laid-Back Camp, arguably Sweetness and Lightning, and Yokohama Shopping Log, off the top of my head.

(Incidentally, it kinda feels like you’d enjoy Super Cub.)

Does the title refer to a small airplane or a small motorcycle? The latter seems more likely, but you never know. :)

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.

Basically, this lonely, bored, orphaned high school girl decides to do *something* to be interesting and have something to talk about to her schoolmates, and sees somebody on a small motorbike - since she hates riding her bike up the hills to school anyway, this works out well for her. I’m explaining it poorly, but that’s the basic gist of it, as I recall it~ it’s been a little while.

Edit: Also, point of order, isn’t the plane a *Piper* Cub? Or is that something else?

"Remove", lower left, if that appears for non-admin users (which it seems like it should, on their own posts, but maybe not).

.....IP shows the IP the message was posted from and others used by the poster, and I’m not entirely sure that should be a thing that anyone can just see.

Huh, all these years and I've never noticed that. I could see it being useful for debugging or Detecting Shenanigans, but it's odd that it was on for all users by default.

Ah well, the past is a foreign country... they do things differently there.

Anyway, I could remove the original mispost, but we've got this subthread now. :)

The Super Cub is the longest-produced and most numerous variant in the Taylor/Piper Cub lineage--same basic airframe as the original, but with mod cons like flaps and a proper electrical system. Piper made them for 40 years, so there are a helluva lot of them out there, with every conceivable hobbyist mod. Not unlike the motorcycle, come to think of it. Similar user cultures. :)

This kind of reminds me of the title character of Komi Can't Communicate, who does in fact want all of those things, but who (at least as far as I've gotten into the series so far) is somehow managing to do them without evolving into a social butterfly, largely because she is completely surrounded by lunatics who are so wrapped up in misinterpreting everything she does in the best ways that it would be completely superfluous for her to actually speak to them. :)

Komi is so very much more subdued and kinda just wants some friends and to come out of her shell a bit. Or at least in comparison. As I recall, at least, it's been a good minute since I've read any of that.

Incidentally, in a similar vein is Aharen-san wa Hakarenai (Aharen is Indecipherable), which has the title character be painfully shy and also....strange. It's kinda like a much more comedic take on Komi-san, if Komi were four and a half feet of tightly controlled chaos and Tadano was a six foot straight man with Resting Yakuza Glare who's just as filled with chaos as he tries to figure out what Aharen's got going on *today*. Has a manga and an anime. Much like Komi, Aharen is nearly nonverbal, and both have their male classmate-slash-love-interest trying to figure out what's going on in their heads. ....Aharen has both much more and much less going on in hers than Komi, it seems. :3

I had not considered that, but you have a point.
