| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- One of my favourite episodes, wistful and with themes more appealing to adults than children. Noticing how the people we used to love have changed after long separation is indeed sad and perhaps inevitable. There's not much you can do. |
| I usually don't like those episodes with no action, but this one is nice. |
| I think that Marvelous did not grow impatient of Conductor because he was not wealthy, but because he kept not coming back... |
   |
| I really like the episodes that involves The Conductor and more background info about him, great character. |
 |
| Very lovely episode, quite liked the focus shift and to see a bit of backstory of the Conductor! I do wish to know a little more about him, but in general a really lovely episode! That saying at the end though! |

| But, why did Marvelous try to derail the train? Is this attention seeking behavior because the Conductor is always gone working? Is this an allegory for failed late Showa Japanese relationships? |
| Great to learn more about Conductor. He gotta keeo going, but sad his job essentially became escapism from reality. glassknuckles said: But, why did Marvelous try to derail the train? Is this attention seeking behavior because the Conductor is always gone working? Is this an allegory for failed late Showa Japanese relationships? If a woman can't handle the end of a relationship she might act on her anger in some irrational way that can't be predicted. She wanted to get back at him, so there's a bit wickedness. But it could also be seen as sign of helplessness, an act of despair, a cry for help. So attention seeking is definitely part of it in some sort of way. You could go even further and claim that she wanted to make Conductor feel as helpless as her, at least for a brief moment where she got to feel empowered. Just felt like adding something, even tho you probably don't remember this episode anymore, lol. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The Conductor, one of the main elements of this story, had some of his plot told here. Marvelous, his beloved, even though she is immature and has changed with time, she will always be the person who makes the Driver continue with his work. It is a shame to see this couple separated, as it was a lifelong dream, half over. |
| I feel bad for The Conductor. Marvelous no longer wants him, due to him not having money. The Conductor was hurt deeply by this, but will persevere. |
 |
| They both still love each other. But Mr. Conductor wants to do what he wants, and work at 999 Express. While Marvelous just want him to be at her side. I kind of want them to end up together |
