Dat after-ED pic.
6/10 for this ep.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Wasn't that bad. The animation was pretty good, and a show revolving around trains sound pretty unique to me.

The ED song is too good for this anime.

Too much pointless boob-service. Presentation was too "standard" and boring.

2/10 so far. I suspect I'll be dropping this by the next episode.

That was extremely... disappointing actually. I guess I set my expectations too high. I thought at least the animation will stay pretty right? Nope. For a first episode, things got lazy fast. Especially the fight against the thugs. I'll give it a few more eps.

Unique overarching plot and setting marred by an abundance of cliches, pitifully shameless fanservice, and really boring, by-the-book characters. I don't know if I can see myself sticking with these bland cookie-cuttercharacters for the length of the entire series. Needless to say, this first episode was pretty lame.

I was slightly, SLIGHTLY surprised when the shy girl purposely leaned on MCs shoulder. You don't normally see that sort of behavior from that archtype, especially not in the first ep.

And has anyone posted a gif for when she was on the ladder? That ass was fat. B)

Don't understand quality story writing, but in the entertainment side it's not too exciting. Will it be like Library War, with the politics between romance story ?

Maybe I can enjoy it more if I'm a railway otaku... which sadly I'm not.
Albeit, railway otaku is even more niche than military otaku

Packed full of generic moments, cliched muscle head guy friend, typical portrayal of dumb muggers...and a boring MC. Not a good impression. The girls aren't much better. Sakurai doesn't really think with her head and Haruka's screentime basically equals fanservice.

I am quite taken by the setting. That's about the only positive. Though it is enough to keep me watching since it's certainly not something I've seen before. Really hoping the characters will become more interesting.

Okay so they shoot revolvers in training and use hand guns for their lovely work experience. I won't ask why to any of this... but...

Not cool to use such violence on mere purse snatchers. And who the hell would chase after them to that extent... these kids just wanted to test their MAD SKILLS to kick their asses somehow thinking it's still the right thing o.O

Oh well I'll probably just watch this for the heck of it, get a few laughs. Art style is nice too.

Just have to laugh at those information explosions about some random TRAIN that they bring up randomly. Like what the hell, TRAINS?! They're just TRAINS, lmao what's so interesting...

*busts up laughing at the response to not even start this series due to the fanservice gif*

Dear god are you people pathetic!! You haven't seen the first episode, so you clicked on a topic filled with spoilers for the first episode? Yeah right. You weren't interested to begin with, and you just looked for an easy target to complain about.

As for myself, I think it was a pretty damn entertaining opening. The action is intense, the main character and his romantic interest are very likable, and it put a smile on my face. The only thing that I don't like is the soundtrack.

Oh, and UFO, the purse snatchers had a bloody knife, and tried to stab one them, Hell yeah they were right to kick their asses.

Fantastic first episode. Didn't realise Minori Chihara was doing the OP, just bliss. Great pacing, decent action and a taster of what will come. Great information on the different trains and rail lines in Japan albeit brief.

OK starting episode. Eh, I am not gonna be too shallow and overreact to the oppai fanservice - it is so common it is irrelevant as a base to judge, not like it was overused (yet), anyway. All the 4 main characters are rather cliche, though, so are practically all the comedic attempts. I will stay tuned and just hope they will focus on the main thing at hand: nationalized rail system, and not shift much focus to the weekly doses of romance and ecchi.

The fan service is pretty nice and sigh, another generic main character. Why is it so hard to make a MC not generic? The anime was pretty boring and if it doesn't pick up by episode 2 I'm dropping it.

The characters in this show arent any more generic than the characters in Log Horizon, D-Frag or Haganai.

This show is low rated because younger american viewers probably don't like trains as much as video games or high school.

Cliches are cliches. I'm fine with the fan service but there should be a limit to how big oppai can be. Besides that, it seems like a fun series, I'll stick with it for the entertainment.

So the premise about being a security force for trains is interesting and unique except for the unavoidable fact that anime main characters can only be teenagers.

Anyways, still a really fun episode. So much train porn the way same way Aria the scarlet ammo is about gun porn.

It was nice to see the voice actors of Rikka Takanashi and Yuuta Togashi reunited, and to see Brynhildr in the Darkness's Kotori again since she looks identical.

It was kind of boring, though I'll stick with for at least second episode...

But that setting is really appalling. Trains...seriously?? And teenagers as security patrol equipped with guns to guard trains???Do they transfer diamonds or what? :DD Someone must have been really high to come up with this.

Guys, the question that we should be asking is:

DOES IT HAS MULTI-TRACKING DRIFTING!?


Did no one else got your joke?! GODDAMN IT!! How can there be people who don't know the awesomeness of MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING!?

I seriously hope they do it (with some Initial D-esque type of music [electro]) in the anime while they are chasing some retarded bad guys. Heck, if the boob bouncing physics is so off the chart, multi-track drifting seem like something that is extremely likely to be possible.

I have no regrets.

Guys stop quoting that bouncy gif, my wood can't handle all this plot.
Haha, pretty much this tbh. And hmm Haruka's special someone is obviously Naoto. Gonna be fun to watch how that turns out. The OP sounds great too.

The premise was nice, but I felt like the first episode was wasted with the rushed training stuff - and 3DCGI trains is just not the right way to fulfill the expectations we had based on the novels illlustrations.

Well, I liked both opening and ending theme and the character design is pretty cool like it was expected. Let's see if it's worth watch from now on.

Disappointing first episode. I mean, if you're going to put ecchi elements in an anime show, you need to do it right and at minimum do it at the level of To Love Ru Darkness in terms of ecchi-ness (doing it at a higher level than that is even better), otherwise don't even bother putting in all this gigantic bouncy boobs ecchi fanservice crap because it's not satisfying at all and adds nothing to the value of the show.

Overall first episode had: terribly executed plot, generic characters, not enough action, and terrible ecchi.

3/10 for first episode.
