Rail Wars!

Rail Wars!

If you want something to watch while eating pizza or waiting for your gentoo kernel compile to finish, watch this.

It's without a question an original idea, an anime about teenagers working for a railway company, in this case, the fictional Japanese National Railways.

While the characters may really be pretty generic, I don't think they could've done much about that, given that this anime mainly wants to encourage the viewers interest in trains.

All in all, it didn't fail to entertain me, watching a bunch of kids trying to balance an old train at high velocity to keep it from derailing was fun, them battling terrorists, ... even more so, and you also learn some neat facts about trains, so why not.

The only thing you shouldn't be doing is going into this with high expectations, they won't be fulfilled, the plot is okish and you won't remember the characters names for too long.

It's one of these things where your mind goes all "standby mode" and you just look at the neat animations and say to yourself, "Well, that look's pretty decent.".

That being said, I don't regret watching it, but I don't think I'll watch it again.
6 outta 10, it's OK.

I was very excited when this anime was first announced, however I was very much let down by what I was expecting to be a seriously informative and respectful anime. Because this is the first anime that I've given a lower score to, I wanted to write a review as to why. So with that being said, here's my very first short and simple review on MAL.

First off, one of the major things that turned me away was the characters and the sheer amount of "fanservice". You never really get to know the characters, they're just supposed to be taken as is with their personalities. ... Fanservice, please don't get me wrong, is great when it's utilized in moderation and in animes that you want to watch for those things. Not so much in an anime about trains.

I'm not really a big train fangirl, but I thought it would be cool to learn about trains and especially in the fictional world this anime creates with its non-privatized railway system. That part really got me excited when I first heard about it. However, it hardly, if ever, went into much detail about the actual railway system and non-privatization. Which was to say fairly disappointing.

Story (2/10):
You mean there's a story? I'm kidding. The premise for the plot is promising, but the actual story is stagnant. There's no progress at all, and it's just similar situations after one another with a cliche love triangle (pentagon??).

Art (4/10):
Despite the many many many animation errors, I couldn't really complain about the art. They did their best, but it wasn't stunning in any way. The OP animation kinda looked weird for me, but that may be me.

Sound (7/10):
Saved by the sound. I thought the OP and ED were pretty nice actually. Plus the BGM in some scenes really were appropriate and good. Nothing superb, but I liked it to say the least.

Character (5/10):
Eh. Eh. Eh. Most of the characters seemed to just be there simply for the sake of creating situations and fanservice. There was hardly any depth to them and I felt like they weren't very memorable since the only things I can really remember is whenever Takayama accidentally touched their breasts (countless times). However for some characters, you can tell a lot went into them, such as Takayama and Iida. They made the anime a bit more tolerable and it seemed they drove the story forward.

Enjoyment (5/10):
Well, it was good enough for me to get through all 12 episodes, so I can't necessarily say I hated it. It was worth trying out despite everything. All in all, it has it's good moments, but in the end it was really missing something vital for me to actually enjoy it.

Have you ever just randomly stumbled upon a great anime without expecting it to be any good at all before watching it. This was my case with Rail Wars.

At first look I thought "a anime about trains? No thank you" ,but I gave it a shot at least. And after three episodes I was surprised. The anime wasn't just about trains but about the main character and side characters trying to make their dreams come true and thus I binge watched it.

The art at first look amazed me. There was a lot of detail in the surroundings as well as the characters.

The soundtrack matched ... perfectly and was nicely conducted. The opening and end songs were catchy and matched the scenes.

There was some clear character development throughout the anime. The main character is a pretty relaxed guy who can think clearly throughout a tough situation and keep his cool and this really appealed to me. The some what romantic sub plot was also refreshing.

I finished this shortish anime in a day and I was not disappointed. I really liked it because it kept me entertained and made me laugh and it wasn't once overwhelmed with fan service.

Random train station fluff. There were flickers of quality once in a while.

I think it is a good pick if you're a young adolescent and you get excited by dumb fan service. I was once that, it is only a part of growth. I think 12 y.o. me would've been A-OK with this anime, and not for the story (there is no story).

If you're anyone else -- eh. It's almost watchable, but there's no real reason to hop on board. Unless you're just in the mood to watch generic anime stuff happen on a train station, I wouldn't choo choo choose Rail Wars for ... you, one might say.

It might benefit from the 4 A.M. Technique, where you watch a show that doesn't require thinking at 4 A.M. and somehow enjoy it more due to your delirious state. So, maybe try that.

i'll get to the point.. this bores me to the bones.. really regret that i tried finishing til last episode hoping for a light.. even if you are a train fan, you're better off google-ing infos..
Action? - unarmed teenagers beating up pros with a puch or a kick.. zzz
Ecchi? - "foot slip" that ending up in an ecchi event are cute.. But there are countless in here that made you think "how stupid can this get?"
Trains? yeah Trivial info name, engine, location, nothing more..
There are so many event that make you say "Why do that? When he/she could've do this?"
i cant even think of a ... genre for this anime..

Many say this anime was a bad one, but frankly, it was pretty good in my opinion.

Sure, it's kind of generic in anime terms (high school kid aims for something, gets a harem, typical harem anime) which is why it isn't perfect, but the story is a nice change of pace, so is the plot, ecchi scenes are pretty good (wish there were nipples, but that's my only complaint) action scenes were badass, especially Aoi's scenes, comedy's decent, characters were pretty good, and overall, it isn't as bad as people say it is.

I think it deserves more praise, a lot of people watch ... it once, judge, and never return. At least watch it again in the future, and see if you really hate this anime or not, because really, it isn't that bad, compared to other anime out there.

Overall, this anime was good, it deserves more praise.

I've never understood train enthusiasts. But, they're out there. They make models, build functional mini-railways, study the history, even listen to the sounds of classic trains for days gone by. They're an odd but admirable group. I, on the other hand, am an Anime enthusiast. Anime has something for everyone. And with "Rail Wars", they now have a go-to title for the train nuts.

Coming from the relatively obscure studio Passione, "Rail Wars" is a charming little 12-episode series that dives into Japan's rail system, in an alternate universe where they are still nationalized instead of privately run. What starts off as a fairly mundane ... story about a teenage boy who dreams of being a train driver, quickly turns into a mild action piece involving terrorists, kidnappers, drug deals, stalkers, urgent organ deliveries, international intrigue, and burglars dressed as luchador wrestlers. You seriously never know what situation is up ahead next for our intrepid band of cookie-cutter protagonists.

Speaking of which, the main characters are much of the same you've seen in Anime again and again. Our primary MC is Takayama, an optimistic, good-natured, kid working hard to achieve his dream. He is joined by Koumi, a sweet, smart, and adorable girl doing her best to keep up and living with breasts that are bigger than her head. Meat headed Iwaizumi, who serves as the ditzy strong man type who's concerns are eating and exercise. And Sakurai. The tsundere-ist tsundere that ever lived. Together, they make up a group of stereotypical Anime characters, but they actually do start to grow on you a bit.

With a series like this, art is going to be secondary to the trains themselves which are mostly CG done and have enough emphasis put on them to make it train oriented, but not drive away the average viewer. But, not only did they add a bunch of action sequences, they also went heavy on the fan service like a man eating prison food goes heavy on ketchup. The alternate title of this show should've been "Boob Collision!" All the girls have heavy chests and when they're not half-dressed, or feigning interest in our primary MC, they're blushing as his face somehow ends up mushed against their breasts in comical and somewhat pointless fashion.

This may be one of the most oddly generic and yet unique shows I have ever seen. I must admit that I did enjoy it for what it was. It brought a little smile to my face each time and the occasional thrill the way one is thrilled by a conflict in a Disney film. You know the good guys are gonna win, but the journey to the resolution is interesting enough to keep you watching. Hardly binge-worthy, but a good, casual viewing experience that must be enjoyed with subtitles (available ONLY in Japanese). Overall, a strong 6/10. Check it out. Cheers!

Rail wars is a type of anime where you shouldn't really expect much from. It CAN be enjoyable with the right expectations. Ive read many reviews and it seems peoples opinions are a little misplaced and ill get to why later.

Story:5/10

Cause you know this is a great story with a lot of "plot". Really it's about trains, not much plot there. The romance has no progression, and almost seems pointless. But what harem has romance progression? Because of no plot or direction in the story, the series had an episodic feeling that wasn't exactly terrible.

Characters: 7/10

First off i would like to ... say the MC is beyond boring as hell. I question how he got a harem in the first place. The girls aren't bad per say just, uninteresting. Some how i feel as though the feelings of the girls were forced.

Sound: 7/10

The OP wasn't to bad, but the ED sounded atrocious. As for the ost, nothing stuck out to me, however that doesn't mean it was bad.

Enjoyment: 8/10

Although the story was is mediocre, i found this to be enjoyable, meaning Rail Wars fulfilled its duty.

Overall/Final thoughts: 7/10

Honestly after reading multiple reviews, and all say the same thing. Yes we understand this anime doesn't have a story or plot however it's to be expected from a harem/ecchi anime. Really if you don't like tits and ass, or cliché ecchi moments, steer clear of this. You'll only annoy yourself...

Rail wars is classed as a action and ecchi series which is not uncommon in the anime world. My first impression was that this was another school life anime with cliché characters, however when i watched the first few episodes i got really into it, as it had amazing plots every episode and also it shows how much the characters are devoted to railway security. The plots in every episode are moderately paced which is a good thing as you do not want rush over the entire plot with the audience confused (*cough*Tokyo Ghoul*cough*). Furthermore the backgrounds of the characters were quite interesting because it ... reflected their personalities, for example Aoi is quite defensive and violent as her father was a cop and Naoto is kind and always puts the pedestrians first because when he was little he was saved by a train conductor. Also, this particular anime caught my attention because of the opening sound track and also the ending sound track, both opening and ending soundtracks had different genres because it went well with the amazing art. The art style was quite modern and it made it look more appealing and also the art made the characters more distinguished throughout the series. However this anime also has its downfall which is that the anime turned into a harem half way through and they only started developing the relationship between the girls and Naoto. Also they discard out a main character Shō Iwaizumi, the writer does not develop his relationship with his team mates, however the writer does make him a active and optimistic person, so he isn't the perverted bestfriend cliche. I hope this gets a season two as i enjoyed watching it.

Certainly a unique theme on this anime, and that was the draw for me. Trains is not a theme you would often think to use as a central plot device outside of Thomas the Tank Engine. And that this most certainly is not.

Story: There is very little, to no overarching plot. If you had to pin one down, it would simply be 'Life Working for the Japan National Railway's Public Safety Force'. Each episode has its own plot, with a few two episode Min-arcs. There is not much in the way of progression for the story, but enough happens each episode to usually be at ... least a little engaging. The worst part about the stpry is that the jumps that it takes at points, sometimes skipping frankly important or interesting parts that you think would be a focus, can be jarring.

Art: Art is par for the course. The way the trains look certainly is quite nice on the eyes, having some unique designs and interesting color themes, my favorite certainly being the 'Mini-train Engine' that you see in the opening title, shown in more detail later in the series. However I did notice a few hiccups in the animation, with some objects and people appearing and disappearing in a few scenes. Not super noticeable or immersion breaking though

Sound: Not much to say on sound. They er...have lots of train sounds like chugging engines, horns and the whistle of steam. Can't vouch on the authenticity, but it was certainly interesting.

Character: Not much is done on building the characters up at the start. The personalities of the Characters are not very deep, each with at most one or two notes to them. The females in the story feel a tad too fan-servicy at times in both design and personalities. You can tell that the character designs for the main females were made for sex appeal. It can get a tad distracting when a tense moment is ruined by the camera briefly panning past a character like the busty Haruka at Chest level just to give you a nice clear look at her 'bounce'.

Enjoyment: It was by far not the best I've ever watched, but it was certainly enjoyable, and much better than I was initially thinking. Not warranting a re-watch in my opinion, but I'm glad I took the time to watch it through in its entirety and did not simply drop it after an episode or two.

Overall: Worth your while if you find that your current anime-watching well has run dry. Out of the 12, only maybe....1 or 2 episodes dragged for me. Just be sure you are not watching this one with your parents, small children, or someone who is sensitive about seeing a lot of skin bared. There are not tons of scenes that include the nudity, (with 'naughty bits' always just barely covered up by artistic convenience), but if like me, that stuff has little bother to you, give it a watch.

Whenever I finish an anime I always ask myself, "do I want to watch this again?" or "did I enjoy this?", and the answer for me is ABSOLUTELY. LOVED the train/railway info drops, majority of characters were cool, REALLY nice fan service, cute ladies, LOVED the romance feel in the show, and the overall feel of the anime was chill and fun to me. Story was simple, literally about jobs at the JNR (Japanese National Railways). I thoroughly enjoyed this anime, even though the story isn't super crazy and intricate or anything and that there were tiny hiccups in the art/animation every once-in-a-while. I would ... definitely put this on to watch or to do things around the house while it's being played in the background. Just a simple clear-cut type of anime to not be taken too seriously.

When I first heard of "Rail Wars" I thought of an interesting anime full of action and a good plot but it was totally different. There's barely action and good moments to enjoy and remember.

The story is about a high school boy called Naoto Takayama who wants to drive trains, but before he gets inside an engine he must pass a training along other characters. The training is in the security team helping people and watching thiefs.

The training makes sense but as the story advances less and less action we see and the dull situations are more present. Naoto is clumsy and he shows ... no sign to be getting better, his friends are as boring as him, especially Aoi Sakurai whom is a happy-trigger and never tells Naoto of her feelings for him.

The only good momento of the show is when the group has to take a tissue to the city, for an emergency situation aboard an old maintenance wagon, on their way to the city they'll have a lot of technical problems. After 6 episodes I had to leave this because I was tired of watching nothing. But if you want to see good train designs and a lot of fanservice this is your anime.

Now this anime is supposed to be about trains and its security personnel. As I said supposed to be, somewhere it turned to be a harem, actually from the first episode. Now where the animators did good I have to give credit, the different trains are shown beautifully, the animation is good and the sound is also great. Now coming to the story its not that great, there is a lot of fan service, jiggle jiggle. Very typical heroines in the harem. Nothing great to remember as such.

There is no character background, absolutely zero, no complex plots, nothing noticeable in this. The episodes seem stretchy, ... infact after every episode I kept looking at the watch to see of its really only 30 mins, it felt like an hour. The series itself is a bit bored down in the first 2 episodes, the rest are watchable.

Rail Wars! is an adaptation from popular series light novel shared the same name. I quite love this anime. Good artwork and i love the plot about Railways Security Force. But it have bad animation and lack of plot if you compared to LN which made me think this anime make you curios enough to buy the light novel.
But if you like an entertainment, ecchi and action anime, here is it. Very funny and dramatic sometimes.
To summarize: lack of plot, character's development, poor CGI but good inspiration, artwork (specially Sakurai), harem, ECCHI,... and i find OP and ED rap song is really good. Sound effect ... in some action scene blended in the situation.
This is an ecchi, harem, comedy, action with heroine has revolver anime you looking for and i think this anime is quite good in its genre. So, don't criticize it, just watch and enjoy. If you don't, just skip it.

There seems to be a lot of hate for this anime, and the other reviews almost make me wonder if I saw the same show as everyone else, because I got a completely different impression from this anime than they did. In my opinion, Rail Wars is better than everyone makes it out to be, but I'll admit you absolutely will not enjoy it if you go into it with the wrong expectations.

Rail Wars is not an ecchi harem anime. Let me repeat that. It is not an ecchi harem anime. There's a minor harem subplot and some brief nudity, but ... this is really more a light adventure show, something akin to a police drama. You don't even have to be a fan of trains to enjoy Rail Wars, as long as you understand what it is.

I'll admit, it didn't grab me right from the beginning, but with every episode I watched, I found myself liking it more and more.

Story: 7

The show is about a team of interns in a railroad security force. The majority of the episodes deal with the kinds of adventures you might expect, such as bomb threats, terrorists, runaway trains, even a couple of kidnappings. Nothing particularly original, but again, if you know what to expect, you can enjoy it anyways. It's fairly episodic. There's the occasional 2-parter, but there really isn't much of a seasonal story arc.

I have to score it an extra 2 points for the emergency run in Episodes 8 and 9. It's like a cross between the movie Speed and the mine cart chase scene from Temple of Doom. Great excitement and adventure here, and you really see the team shine as they work together to overcome every obstacle that gets in their way.

My only complaint is that the last episode is anticlimactic. After all the exciting and adventurous episodes preceding it, an episode where nothing happens isn't how I want the show to end. Still, at least it doesn't leave it with an unsatisfying ending, or worse, a cliffhanger.

Art: 6

Pretty standard for modern anime. As you might expect, the trains are CG, but fortunately they don't overdo it. In too many shows like this, the CG stands out too much, but here it's more subtle, used appropriately for the sleek and graceful movement of the trains.

Sound: 5

The opening and closing themes are fine. The voice acting is all right, with good choices of voice actors for the various characters. The rest of the sounds just mostly get out of the way and let you concentrate on the story, which is all I ask in a show like this.

Characters: 6

The characters are stereotypical, yet likable. The core group consists of the quick-thinking and good-natured hero; the feisty and tough man-hater; the brilliant beauty; and the gung-ho, enthusiastic tough guy.

Individually, they're not all that interesting. Put them together, however, and you've got a team that can handle any problem, no matter how big. Not only that, but they're fun to watch, though perhaps not as entertaining as in shows that are less adventurous and more humorous.

Enjoyment: 6

A fun watch, with some great adventurous moments mixed with just enough humor to keep it from getting melodramatic. One thing irritates me, however. The team doesn't often get due recognition for their deeds. These guys deserve a dozen medals, a parade in their honor, and maybe a holiday named after them, but half the time they instead get a minor reprimand for not following protocol. Whatever happened to thinking outside the box?

Seriously, the one time they received a light punishment for their deeds, I tried my hardest to figure out what exactly they did to deserve it, but as far as I could tell, they not only did everything right, but saved a train full of passengers in the process.

Overall: 6

Worth watching, but not one you'll put at the top of your favorites list.

*SPOILERS ARE PRESENT BUT WE ALL KNOW YOU WATCH THIS ANIME FOR THE "PLOT"*
Okay, first I'd like to thank ITzRailWars for their lovely review for the best anime in the world, "Glasslip". Let's begin with the title, "Rail Wars"..Now you're probably thinking this is some shit about having wars on the train tracks maybe? Because that's what it's implying. But wait when you watch this anime what the fuck is happening? Where are the wars between trains? Instead this anime is about a retarded fuck trying to become a train driver? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE TITLE "RAIL WARS"? The ... creator of this anime was just like "HEY, I'VE GOT AN IDEA. LET'S MAKE A SHIT ANIME ABOUT A FUCKHEAD WANTING TO BE A TRAIN DRIVER THAT HAS NO LINK TO THE TITLE LET"S JUST ADD FUCKING BOOBS AND PANTIES TO MAKE PEOPLE WATCH THIS SHIT LIKE EVERYONE ONLY WATCHES ANIME FOR THE BOOBS ANYWAY, FUCK YEAH GOING TO BE RICH WITH THEM DEFINITIONS ON BOOBS WOOOOOO CASH MONEY SWAG" and so on.

The characters are fucking amazing just look at these big boobed bastards showing off the chest. So I'd like to spend my time going thoroughly through what each character is about I will also provide nicknames to what they actually do in the anime.

First of all the "MAIN" Naoto Takayama also known as, "Weak Cunt needs help from girls"
THIS IS THE BEST LEAD EVER, He's one of the most dense fuckhead that has been introduced in ALL OF ANIME PRODUCTION. Who am I kidding pretty much every boy in every anime is dense as fuck. He wants to be a train driver? This anime show knows how to say "FUCK YOUR DREAM YOU LITTLE CUNT!" Look at him the idiot JUST CAN'T EVEN. Overall this is by far the best Male character in the anime.

Aoi Sakurai also known as, "Tomboy with a cunt"
Acts like a cunt, but is secretly in love with Naoto that fuckhead? Like what the fuck you TSUNDERE CUNT. She is by far the most fucked character I have ever seen in my life. In all the fucking episodes she hugs Naoto Takayama like a hentai cunt orgasming every fucking where. Overall she's just a red head retard that is stronger than the MAIN CHARACTER? And she likes to be called "NICE" in a fucking gay ass looking dress cloth thing.

Haruka Koumi also known as, "Big Cow Tits"
WHY THE FUCK DID YOUR DRAW HER WITH MASSIVE BOOBS? Overall it's just boobs, boobs, boobs and more boobs.

And last but the very least Sho Iwaizumi also known as, "I wish I had more lines"
THIS CUNT DOES NOTHING IN THE ANIME HE IS LIKE AN EXTRA IN THE BACKGROUND ALL HE EVER WANTS IS TO EAT WHAT A USELESS CUNT, WHAT THE FUCK DOES HE DO WHEN HE'S NOT IN THE SCENES? Probably jerking off to Haruka Koumi the big fat cow tits girl.Overall he should have gotten more lines if there are 4 main leads but he's like an excluded faggot.

Overall this anime is a piece of shit, Please just come watch Glasslip. Thanks for reading this review about Rail Wars hope you never watch this shit again.

I am a simple man. All of my life I have loved trains. starting from Thomas the Tank Engine as a child.
When I saw this, I was excited.

I like trains...

This is not a train anime

You'd assume that from the name that this is a high-octane, thrilling, train adventure. Well it's really about a mall cop with a train fetish.

Story: 4
...
Urgg, there is no damn story. Its just a few friends working as train guards. There is honestly nothing else to it. No development, apart from some bullshit romance. It's one of the shows where girls just fall over every 10 minutes and send their tits flying into some dudes face just to advance the plot.

Art: 6

I'm not an art critic, It wasn't bad or good. I'll give it a 6

Sound: 5

This is difficult... The sounds in the show honestly weren't awful, but the opening and closing songs were frankly disgusting. Ill give it a 5, mostly because the songs were truely a deal breaker for me.

Character : 6

Probably better than your average Harem, Ecchi romance in character terms. The girls are honestly pretty standard, there's a caring one who lacks common sense and has watermelon sized tits, and an edgy tom-boy who 'don't need no man'. I give it a 6 because of Iwaizumi. He is my favorite, 'C'mon guys, we can't have all tits in a show. Our spiky black-haired MC needs a friend' character. He is my new waifu, so kawaii and muscular. No homo tho...

Oh and the MC would probably prefer to fuck a train rather than the women...

Enjoyement : 7

Somehow, I sorta liked it. I feel shame for doing so. I can't even slightly justify why I did.

Overall: 6

I don't think this deserves the really harsh reviews it got, its not the best thing I've watched but I wouldn't say its complete garbage. Give it a shot if you want something light, with boobs. I wouldn't push yourself to watch it tho, maybe for a rainy day.

If you think my review is awful, come flame me on my comments section. Or if you just wanna talk about the show itself.

*it's my first review so it must have lot of weak point from my review
thank's for reading it

When I first saw this show I thought it would be terrible, it looked very average and the reviews were terrible, but this show took me on a ride I didn't expect(pun intended). I'll be the first to admit that this show is rather average,I just wanted to write this review because I don't think it deserves all the hate these other reviews give it.

First I'd like to start with something I see a lot of in these reviews, the fact that is has no "plot". this criticism I think for a TV/anime is stupid. An overarching plot is something that ... not every show needs. look at shows like Avatar or cowboy bebop, these shows have entire parts where its in the style of "episode of the week" where every episode is its own disconnected story, and while they do connect to the overall story, these shows ran for longer than Rail, if they wanted to stay interesting they needed some kind of theme, Rail doesn't. Avatar does turn into a regular plot towards the middle and on but it worked for the start. And cowboy bebop stays with this until the final two episodes which you could argue that they are either the buildup of the series or just another disconnected adventure. A plot is not something that is as important as you would think. Each episode can hold on its own and in the case of Rail, they keep you interested and entertained.

Second character development. Its seems that everyone thinks that this show has no charterer development, which if true, can be devastating to a show. Having the characters acting the same forever and making the same mistakes is very frustrating and if you've seen older Shounen-jump you can probably relate. But this show does have character development. Yeah its pretty bare bones but I'm not arguing that this sow is amazing, I'm just saying is not terrible and at least slightly above average. For example, Aoi at the beginning hates the MC, she thinks hes annoying and kinda a bitch, but by the end, she respects him, his choices and the person he is, as well as a little romantic interest. Now the rate of which this happens is a little fast and this show is plenty cliche with its romance so it's not perfect, but again, NOT TERRIBLE. I give 5/10 Aoi's for being cute AF.

Third, the soundtrack. Honestly didn't think it was that bad, It reminded me a lot of Death Note with that piano and kinda got me hype a bit at times, but nothing much really to say here. I give 6/10 piano-man's.

Now I think what really matters in a show is how much you enjoy it. I try to stay unbiased and critical when It comes to media and criticizing it, but every now and then a show comes along that I just can help but fucking love. This show is one of those. for a show about trains it manages to keep me interested, terrified, laughing and horny all at once. I'm not saying this show is secretly good but I just cant help but like this show, its manages to take TRAINS and make them HYPE as FUCK . Now MAL doesn't allow spoilers in their reviews but episodes 8 and 9 are awesome and actually somewhat innovative. Overall I give it 6/10 hype beast's.

I hope I could help You understand my point of view with this show, I'm more of a talker than a writer really and as always I am open to discussion. Feel free to message me.

first of first, you must know that this is a promotion anime to pull the people attention for the railways industry so don't hope for something extraordinary from it.

if you love big/oversized oppai (Breast), heart beating from expected scenario (safe Ecchi -you know what I mean- ), triangle love, etc. then you might love this anime.

to be honest I have an interest for this anime. it's really hard to make a promotion story, because one wrong step you can make the story boring or you will make the story out of the track. for this anime I think they made it good even though it's ... on the dangers border, I mean they give an over spice to the story and they might get out of the track if they add more spice into the story.

this anime give some harem, romance, a lot of safe ecchi and a little action for the color, I think it's a nice option since it won't go anywhere without it. the story developed very well and it seem's they don't rush it, but unfortunately they didn't really explain all of the important character and how they are related to each other, and how they make it like this it's really give us a lot of question related to the story it self.

for the end I'll give you some advice before watching this anime, just don't watch it seriously, watch it as an entertainment.
