THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Last ep. was Roppongi, now Tochou's turn. (Ah, Train guy taking care of the trouble depends on where the customer ride in... sorry for the bad grammar.)

Train guys are bored that the customer is not coming. Shasho and Akari came in with the info. of the customer. The customer comes in from Tochoumae, so Tochou is going to take care of the trouble.

No one came in when the train arrived to Tochoumae. Shasho said the customer is late. It was turns out that the OL lady (the customer for this ep.) is waiting for passport that she's afraid of picking up.

Every train guys are doing their own things while Tochou's being serious. Tohoku is watching Shinsengumi-related video on his computer. Ryoukoku is good at making tea. Roppongi's doing report for the last ep. (Tochou is very impressed) Tsukishima's making monja-yaki, which Tochou didn't know how to be serious anymore. Everyone ended up eating monja-yaki that Tsukishima made.

Akari commented that if Tochou is too serious, his brain will break!

Shasho told Tochou that the customer will be arriving soon. When she arrived, Tochou greeted her. Mai is her name. She already took care of her trouble herself. She said she's going to quit her job.

Other train guys left, while Tochou sat beside her. Tochou assures that Tochou is caring for her, which everyone never cares about her. She was transferred to oversea, which she didn't want. That's why she was at passport officer but didn't pick up. Tochou brought her back to Tochou with a quiz and central park. Tochou knows that Mai also hides her true trouble. The true reason for wanting to quit job.

Roppongi has finished his report.

She and her boyfriend broke up because he doesn't want to do long distance relationship. Tochou, then, brought her to a room with night scene (even though it's still day time).

Tochou says the end is the new beginning. Mai is better now and got her passport.

Tsukishima is pissed at other train guys not appreciating his 3 meal monja-yaki. Others went to see Tochou. So... Akari ATE ALL!! Tokugawa commented that Tsukishima's scary.

Next ep. is Shinjuku's turn (according to official anime site).

Preview... The train guy at the right is for this ep. while the train guy at the left is for next ep. (See the pattern! For 1st ep. Roppongi was at the right while Tochou was at the left. 2nd ep. Tochou was at the right while Shinjuku was at the left. )

What the hell is wrong with these people?! Who makes food like that on a train?! XD They're a bunch of idiots!

What I want to know...is what the other people are thinking when these women are wandering around talking to themselves.

This series is cute, but garbage. That's how I describe it. It's entertaining garbage :)

The 1st part was funny. The girl part was boring. They should make ~5 min episodes without the "let's save the girl" part instead.

Well, at least the beginning was worth a laugh. I'm only in it for the seiyuu anyway, though.

this episode = GAR

It was so boring that I found myself zoning out like half the time. If it continues on like this, consider this show dropped. Not even the hottest bishounen can save them from being a crap show

I'm a bandwagon whore

So there isn't a main female? Interesting..

And I guess the historical facts were alright..

This anime's probably going to get a 6-7 out of me :/

Exactly my thought. I think I'll drop this series even if this is clearly a good series, well-directed, funny, with good characters and musical parts, because the the format and script are not the right ones imo.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Well I found the information of this episode interesting like objects smaller than 250cm can be allowed. Akari-chan is pretty cute too as a guide. Mai-chan looks like a serious woman compared to Chinatsu but that is because one works and the other goes to school. Good information for me again. Good that Tochou convinced Mai to go to USA even if the boyfriend broke up with her.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Tokugawa is hilarious! xD
Tsukishima was also pretty funny during this episode. It's just too bad the rest of the show can't really be helped. Kind of a random bishounen story...

No one is supposed to. It was joke. One of the guys said that natural gas is not allowed in trains.

aww, I actually enjoyed this episode more than the last one. I thought the girl's problem was more substanstial and realistic. It was very funny too, and we got to see more of the station's individual personalities~
I felt sorry for Tochou at the end. REJECTED. xD

It's only the second episode, but I'm really liking this anime! Episodic anime are always refreshing~ Tochou's way of dealing with his customer was very creative. Of course, the "every end is a beginning" theme has been seen before, but it was nice to see that he connected that with his own station being the end and the start of the Oedo line.

You also get to see all the stations' personalities at the beginning, which apparently goes along with something that is known in their location. I like learning about the station while watching the anime, it's pretty fun. Tsukishima is so funny with his monja XD

I agree. The endings are way too rushed.
