Here for the bishies. xD
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking of their seiyuus' past/current works. xD
Don't forget, Tokugawa is Zura (Gintama) and Shinjuku's Byakushi. x'D

And I have to say, even though I like all those bishies. xD
Especially Roppongi, Tocho and Shinjuku...
I love Tokugawa the MOST! xD (The black dog. xD lawl)
I just do...for some unknown reason. Haha
And even though I'm sleepy here, I liked this first episode. :'p
The funny moments made me laugh...especially the part where Tocho and Roppongi finally finds Kotarou..xD
It may seem a little bit weird, but I can shut off my brain for awhile just so I can watch the whole thing. Besides, like I said... Bishies. orz

Since I am a hetero male I am obviously not here for the bishies XD
but for the sake of watching episode one of a new show.

Kind of unique setting, but nothing too original. I mean this is like Kämpfer for females. Obvious target pleasing show.
That said it was not really bad. Very simple plot for episodic stories, but art was fairly good and it had a nice feeling to it overall. Tomokazu's voice is also always a good thing to have in an anime. Other than him and two others the rest of the bishies was pretty forgettable though.

Might watch another episode if I am bored.

"-because....
-because?
-Because I'm a train station"
That was hilarious. Unfortunately that's about all I remember from that thing...
The "plot" is boring, stations helping girls WTF o.O;
I'll watch at least one more tho, for the seiyuus...

Well, this was... somewhat interesting, but only because of the bishies :<. Really reminded me of Ouran with all the "ladies in distress" thing. Of course I'll continue watching it, because it has hot 2D guys, but that's about the only reason. :/

They may be bishounen but none of their character designs are very appealing :(
This probably makes alot more sense to people that use the Oedo line in japan |D

The OP was koo.
Im not here for the bishies (though the guy in the red hair is HNNGG) and Im not here just for watching a new show from the new season.. ODDLY ENOUGH, Im here for the train(s). :>

Maybe I have a train fetish? Got a problem withat?

Caught my eye. The trains. They make me happy.

The dogs look retarded, though. In all honesty, this was kind of lame.

I'm not really looking forward to learning about the train stations. Just for the bishies too. Was kind of hoping for a story, but I guess there won't be one. Didn't know what the show was about, but after seeing the first episode... yeah. So yea, just like the rest of you, only for the bishies.

I foresee many fangirls drooling over this.
'AH C'MON, just make a yaoi out of it and we're happy.'

Anyways, this is a nice time filler. Cute guys are cute, amirite?
And, a so-called 'mysterious' guy with a venetian mask? I'm what you say.. intrigued. Nah, just foolin'around.
Just take the damn thing off.

Oh dear lord, these moe anthropomorphisted train stations fail so much I can't stop laughing (These clothes, these behaviours, their look, the cliches, their voices.). I'm hoping for some bad ass Yakuza gir or a deadpan snarker (like a female version of kyonko)l to mess up the train.

...I loved it XD
I thought it was a lot better than I expected!It was funny and cute and different, and I LIKED the stupid story.
Of course, I also enjoyed the bishonen, and the fact that there was HoYay between ALL THE CHARACTERS :'D

I'm happy there's going to be a different girl every week, because if there WAS a recurring female with a canon/hinted relationship with one of the stations you just know she'd get unjustly hated by the majority of the fandom.

I DON'T think it's as much like Ouran as everyone's insinuating (I can see the similarities though) and I think the only similarity with Hetalia is the bishie anthropomorthic personification (cause of course Hetalia's the ONLY series to EVER do that >.>)

However, I don't like the character designs of this one as much as the Chuo line,(I hope someone subs that soon :C) but Roppongi is love.<3 (Am I the only person who thinks that in the context of this show the fact that Roppongi is the "deepest train station in Japan" is filled with sexual innuendo?XD)

Ahem what can I say... I seriously HATED it. I managed to watch about 8 minutes, then I just couldn't watch any more.

I hate to say this about any anime, but here goes DUMPED!
Should have known I wouldn't like it since it not a genre I normally like. Oh well here's me moving along.

I liked the trains and the character designs. Tocho and Shinjuku are my favorites in both character and voice actor.

The story was ok, I guess, but I am a bit disappointed at the episodic new-girl-of-the-week format. I am getting tired of so many bishounen-filled shows were there is no romance! ^_^; All the bishounen shows lately have girls who show no interest in any of the guys around her or never pick a final winner -_- And now we have hot guys and a new girl each week? Bleh.

But still, I like the train trivia (as I have been to some of these stations) and I love the voices. Parts of this also reminded me of Ouran - the theme of helping ladies, the captions that would appear on the screen, and the helpful blinking arrows that pointed stuff out. But this lacked the outrageous silliness of Ouran. This show with its ridiculous concept takes itself too seriously. The best parts were the moments when they admitted the concept was absurd ('I'm a train station...')

I won't give up yet. I hope it gets better...

For some reason this show kind of gives off a creepy vibe to me, but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't like it.

Plus, one of my favorite voice actors does Roppongi!

I agree, but let's be honest here, just how many bishounen-filled animes are there anymore? I say take what you can get, especially since most harem anime's male leads are unattractive or their personalities are terrible. :/

It was a pretty average episode. I like it though, so I'll keep watching.

And..the cast of guys STRONGLY reminds me of everyone in the game Princess Debut (if anyone has played it, you'll know exactly what I mean).

Llike..all 6 guys mirror each other to Princess Debut's.

Roppongi= Klaus
Ryougoku = Luciano
Rintarou = Cesar
Shiodome = Vincent (I can't shake this...+_+ I hate Vincent..)
Tochou = Kiefer
Izayoi = Liam

I wonder..was this ever a game or just an anime/manga? It seems very gameish..dating game.

Seriously, I laughed and I feel happy so no complaint here xD Well, the actual reason I laughed was because it just feels so amazingly cheesy like the screech of tyres though not a in a total bad way. I'll continue watching this since it's fun :D I'm in for the bishies too haha because who ever would be allured by the plot? I saw the pic and decided it wouldn't hurt to try watching this.

Wow.....I don't think I've been so unentertained since La Corda D'oro.

It's not that its "bad" but its not good either. Especially in comparison to all the good anime that's been coming out this fall. I'll probably just watch for the bishounen. They were indeed pretty hot...especially red haired guy, green haired guy, and long haired guy :P Its not that long, anyway--only gonna be 12 eps.

Since dog girl is gone, does that mean there's no romance? Pff...they shoulda made it BL.... (that's what I thought this was going to be anyway--I have been misleaded! D:)

I find this very educational about Japanese train station. Roppongi's skill solving of Chinatsu's problem was great. Many girls have problems like that around the world because I read the newspaper I know it can sometimes lead to isolation and suicide. Maybe it could be a good idea to create something like that as a service to help girls. I like the fact the men are ghosts of the train stations but also they give education as to what the train stations do. Might be useful if I take someday a trip to Japan.
