Oh I am going to miss Sakurai. I really liked the character design for the girls, but that is pretty much it. Hahaha.

The music was good, the girls' design was also pretty good, although it the ecchi was pretty mild. We had the usual wussy male harem lead with a personality so limp you could write yours over top and pretend you were getting the fan service. Just meh, and it lost some points because they weaseled out on choosing a girl in the last episode.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Ah this shit was finally over. As I thought this would gonna end like the others because this is just your typical harem and with ecchi stuff. And I wasn't surprise it wouldn't have harem ending. But since I didn't read the Light Novel I had no idea what will happened next.

I'm gonna give this a 5 rating overall but since the PLOT was kinda different and because I was generous I'll give this a final score of 6.

I feel like I'm the only one who actually enjoyed watching this show. Aside from dealing with Takayama's stupidity.

People are honestly getting mad over and ecchi harem comedy? What the fuck were you expecting?

The only genre tag this got was action and people started watching it, then I could see why you would be upset...but then why not just drop it and be done wit it?

Couple things that could've been better:
- more action. I don't just mean train drama, but the fighting and stuff died off in the first half.
- More Iida and Noa, because best girls.
- The fucking scene with Iida in episode 12 when they get back to the meeting room. The lack of mouth movement was weird and somewhat creepy.
- More plot about the JNR becoming privatized. That was in the summary of the show, and I expected like all these private hired thugs trying to sabotage the railroads so they become private, but that aspect of the show never really actually happened.

Idk, like I said I enjoyed the show. I love me some fan service and harems so I had no problems with the show. All the girls were likable. Wouldn't mind if there was a season 2.

On Spring 2014, it was Dragonar.

On Summer 2014, it was Rail Wars.

I wonder which one will it be on Fall 2014?

Lessons learned. Don't always think an Harem Anime (with Ecchi as you mentioned the 2 had ecchi stuff) will have a good plot.
Try to watch something real without ecchi stuff. After all ecchi and fanservice contents was just an appetizer.

Finally some Iida-senpai service <3

I myself gave it a 8/10 simply cos of the service, I wasn't looking for any action or trains afterall from the moment I started watching this www

Im surprised they had the time to change this scene from last week's preview though, when they clearly got no time to finish the animation error fixings :s

That was not a good last episode. Geeze.

But for a fanservice show it wasn't all that bad. I liked the train theme since I personally found it to be kind of charming since I know nothing of trains and Japan apparently has a rich history of that. This show wasn't suppose to be special.. Shit happens for the sake of happening which is per the reg for the genre. I enjoyed the cast and shenanigans. The missing animations though were a little > >

I watched the final 3 episodes just now, this anime was really enjoyable.

I noticed there was an animation error towards the end of episode 12 with Nana and Naota, when Naota tells Nana that she forgot to mention Iwazumi and that K4 is made up of 4 people, in which replies, "You mean five, right?" because she's also part of it as well as the leader of the group. The animation error"s" is that the lips are just not moving in tandem, Nana opens her mouth for a short while but not enough to say all her lines. It was really weird to seeing this anime make an error like that.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this series as I only started watching it a few days ago and I went with low expectations as I thought it would be a really generic harem anime, which it is but all the characters and their chemistry with each other are great. I'm rooting for Sakurai. :lol:

I gave this anime a 8/10 and I hope to see a 2nd season for this.

Lol at Iwaizumi making random push ups,i love that character,he dont give a f***k while Takayama hangs around having sexual moments with all the trains and girls throughout the series...

The only thing good about this show was the fanservice and good art...But after episode 3 i think they stopped caring and they almost stopped drawing...Weird faces an limbs everywhere,lol you cant drop quality of character design like that from a fanservice show,its all you have....

I suppose it's my fault for expecting too much.

It's too bad that this series went the way it did. Instead of focusing on trains and the railway network with a few action/comedy/ecchi elements once in a while, it was an ecchi harem anime with the occasional train/railway topic. They didn't even try; it's some of the most generic stuff I've seen.

I suppose the animation quality wasn't terrible.

OMG that scene where the pretty blonde conductor is thanking him...
She bows way to close to Takayama. Where is your face going?
Her hat falls off.
Takayama is looking down and blushing.
"Ah~!"
She gets up from her knees and tells him to "enjoy the ride"

Moments later another train employee calls her the "head conductor".

Why is this show tagged as ecchi? Just your standard amount of fan service counts as ecchi these days?

Anyway great episode to end a fantastic series. Got more of Iida this episode and nice to show how far Takayama has come, now he instinctively wants to go and help where he sees a possible problem arise. Also very nice to see the team still working together even when they are apart. 10/10 episode.

10/10 for the series as well, extremely enjoyable, unique premise, good action and a good plot though no real overarching plot, well there kinda is but we got more mini arcs, expected for the start of a series Hoping for a season 2.

I figure people will be hating on the show for a while, just like they did with the first season of Infinite Stratos. If it sells on BluRay/DVD, a second season will show up just like IS.

Great finale with plenty mechanics and trainporn which was the best so far followed by some Lida service
It ended the harem way as expected, Takayama's room looked great with the railway map as his bedroom poster and other trainstuff

A sequel or OVA coming from this would be surprising unless they planned a special :P like "Princess Lover" did

This anime had an identity crisis. It didn't know whether it wanted to be a serious action show about trains, or just your standard fanservice, harem show. When it focused on the action and trains, it was boring; when it ramped up the fanservice, it was just too tame. Let's be honest: most of us went into this show for the fanservice, and on that front, it was a huge disappointment. Bad anime. Lame final episode.


All I know is, if you enter a career having to do with trains, women will throw themselves at you. I don't know how true that is, but I trust anime.

Not sure if this is worth a 4 or 5/10. Compared to another crappy show this season (Glasshit), at least Rail Whores did not try to be something that it was not. It exploited all of the characters, forced fanservice shots in any scene possible whether it was serious or not, and had some decent episodic stories. So I do commend it for not being complete shit.

The last ep was underwhelming as we got no real closure.

This series falls into "ordinary ecchi" category as it really tried to do nothing differently. It was pure average in everything it did.

Everytime Takayama rides a train, or at least those last few trains he rode always ended in trouble, like seriously. If anyone noticed that, they would probably forbid Takayama to ride a train ever again. That Iida is just too nice I guess.

Poor Iwaizumi :( I really hate Sakurai, seriously. I'm sure Iwaizumi is smarter than Sakurai, he just had a bad start there. I mean, what dumb-type character doesn't talk much or at all? And when she heard Iida called, why the hell did she assume that Takayama was getting into trouble again? What kind of friend is she when she doesn't trust Takayama one bit?!

Takayama's expression at the end though xD Wtf?

Overall, I'd like to give this anime a 3/10, but since I'm feeling generous today, I'd like to give it a 4/10. This show had great potential, yet after halfway through, it was ruined by the terrible animation.

Worst Anime this season :(

The only thing we learned from this episode is the Takayama needs to be tied down whenever he is on a train else he will start causing trouble for the staff.

The biggest problem with this anime was that the best character Sakurai wasn't the main, instead we ended up with some terrible harem MC again who doesn't understand woman.
And frankly 3 of the 4 girls there where after him where just way to good for him especially Sakurai.
To me this anime was all about her it was the only reason i watched this.

That was a boring episode, like most of this anime was. Most of the characters were meh except Iwaizumi (and Sasshou). Didn't like this episode because I really don't like Horie Yui's voice in this anime. Holy crap it was unbearable. Stuck around to learn a little about trains, at least I found it interesting. Can't say I retained any info, but still liked those parts.

That was an awfully.... underwhelming end. After disarming bombs in the second episode, catching assassins and taking 3 tasers to the face (lol wat), they end with his rather boring trip back to Tokyo spiced with ADD and nosiness. Did they really use Iida's pantyhose as an elastic belt for the engine's fan? Who thinks up of these scenarios i don't even

But that sudden decision to communicate by telepathy at the 18:40 mark was interesting, so it's got that going for it, which is nice.

7/10 because the fanservice was glorious. The two episodes where they had to transport the organs were really good honestly and I wanted a full show like that but .. it didn't happen. Takayama is so dull and annoying as MC, and what the hell was that in the end? Everything must go wrong where he's around, that ain't funny bois.

Iwazumi is the best character and he's obviously gay.
