Heh, I thought the episode might of been a relaxing one but turns out otherwise with an explosion.mWell, we get the railroad crew so...

Kinda tense episode. We'll see the how far these guys can do their job although I do like their motivation. I like how Aoi kissed her gun for good luck though. Looks like the work is a lot harder than it may seem.

No replies yet? Really?
I mean, this show isn't that good, but it's entertaining for what it is.
I expected hot girls and trains and I got it.
Entertaining episode, the whole bomb in the dog thing was kinda dumb, but whatever.
Aoi is best girl. Not saying much, but she is best girl.

Anyone notice the animators ran out of time (I'm guessing)? There's a scene at 15:57 with a static image. There's voices... but the mouths ain't moving.

Otherwise... it was a decent episode. I thought the way they resolved the situation was at least a bit more realistic than most anime. I like to watch light stuff like this while I eat. Like Moonchipz said, it's entertaining for what it is.

I new something was suspicious with that dog carrier. This always happens when they mention some random thing that seems random at the time but contributes to the plot later on.

OK, the secret underground engine storage area for Black Star is a shout-out to Galaxy Express 999. I get that. It wasn't done as well, and it didn't belong in a non-fantasy anme.

...Why didn't she just freeze the bomb in the first place instead cutting the wires? In actuality that's how bomb squads handle bombs. This anime is only good for doujin ideas and train jargon. It was less ridiculous than last episode, but I'll give this thing one more episode.

I am not sure about that OP anymore, my ears hurt.

So any people who were making a big deal out of that fanservice still here? Sucks to be them. This was as entertaining as I imagined it to be.

Their emotions could use some more work at the beginning but it all got good later. What they did was truly heroic.

Is that a SHIP I see? Huhuhu. Something about Aoi x Naoto is a lot more refreshing that thousands of tsundere girl x pimp guy ships out there, both are way more than that.

I don't care about others, I like this show. A lot. The ED is love.

Even better, The Magic Disappearing/Reappearing Glove! 0:34 It's off and 0:36 It's back on. Ahh animation at its finest.

Yeah, the same with the liquid nitrogen. Two instances of Chekhov's Gun there ^^

Anyways, fine episode I guess, this show isn't really to my tastes though. Fanservice feels too forced which helped ruin the bomb defusing scene for me momentarily.

But I'm gonna keep watching for now.

The lack of attention in the art is reminding me of Blade & Soul, and that is not good at all. Here's some shit I picked up on.

Definitely some quality animation this episode. Also what kind of alternate reality is this where a father teaches his daughter how to defuse bombs? I'm guessing her father must be higher up in the PSF or something, that would also explain why she is such a good shot and is desperate for real action.

Overall a decent episode, the premise is different enough that I'm willing to watch it even if it is pretty average just to see where they go with it.

O_O How did you guys manage to spot the animator's mistakes? I only manage to notice the strings appearing/disappearing.

Despite all that, the series is enjoyable to watch.
Looking forward to next week ep!

Because they are determined to dislike the show.

There are a lot of people who dislike trains watching this show and bitching because its about trains. With nothing else to pay attention to, they bitch about the same animation issues that all modern anime face.

Decent episode. I didn't really notice the mistakes nor do I care. Just here for a fun relaxingish anime.

I was hoping that they would at least KEEP the dog. Was expecting them to ask everyone if it was okay he was leader and then there would be a bark and they would all laugh and look at the dog and agree (just my thoughts on how the episode should have ended).

I smell a love triangle in the future. But that's not surprising.

Not a bad episode. MC is fucking annoying though.. Lida-kanchou is the best character.

Now it's clear which direction they are taking. I'd say this is this season's Nanana.

It was bit over the top but I kinda liked it. Sakurai really saved the situation with her out of box thinking (regulations and obvious logical things aside). And some decent fanservice to that. I think I will enjoy this series.

I was ready to drop this hard but it was about 10 times better than the first episode.
Maybe I liked it more because they weren't on the trains and they weren't talking about them.
