Eh, we get maid outfits this episode. At this point, I'm not even surprised at what other gimmicks they will use in this show.

And another mechanic is explored somewhat this episode with sound. Episode got tense in the second half but felt fast. We need more trains! Also end art:

Sakurai so ruthless in the beginning o_o surprised that she complained about writing an apology. Pretty sure that's close to police brutality if she was a police.

Anyways, Sasshou has some crazy hearing skills to be able to pick up the sound of the waves and also the brake testing. I wonder why she didn't reply right away that she loves trains too when (I think it was Koumi?) Koumi asked her. Is it really because she loves trains (or their sounds?) that she went to such a high school? Or perhaps she thought that liking the sounds is not good enough a reason. Just a random thought. Glad everything was resolved nicely in the end though. It's just bad luck for Sasshou's friend to have bee at the scene of a drug exchange, but she was quick enough to leave a clue behind.

The beginning part had me scared. I dropped my headphones, and I thought that I broke them. It turns out, it was just a quiet intro.

Someone should do something about their uniforms. It seems like the ladies get wedgies frequently.

Sasshou has really good hearing. Good that they got to rescue her friend at the end.

Haruka's english sounded pretty good imo, not too engrishy. Takayama on the other hand was a goner.

Sakurai is quite unforgiving. Apparently she smashed somebody's head against a locker.

She also had trouble writing her report and got mad that Takayama tried to help her.

The names on that menu seemed pretty weird.
Shou gets pretty carried away while reading the menu. Food is his weakness, I guess.

Lol, Haruka got a bit too close to Takayama, he even fell with his chair.

Sasshou's hearing is pretty good. Pin-pointing a location through a lossy audio file sure isn't easy.

Yeah, it's a shame they didn't.

The ED is pretty addicting though.

We don't seem to have gotten into a main plot line yet, and I don't think episodes like this one will be strong enough to carry the whole series. I don't mind fan service but I actually do like something of a plot or a developing relationship (or preferably both) to go with it. I'm wondering if the failure to show the fight with drug dealers was based on wanting to avoid showing violence, or simply not having the animation staff available to do this?
Please don't feed the trolls!

Sakurai already face-planted someone face into the wall.

Maybe Sassho would join the rest of the group as an Audio Analyst or something. And, indeed, it is disappoiting that we didn't got to see the fight between the Public Safety and the drug dealers

Naoto... you can't speak Engrish? At least Haruka can...

So her name was Mari huh.

Lol, Mari has really good hearing XD.

Ohoooo, Naoto actually fought this time around.

Slightly sad they cut out the action, also, does anyone notice how they keep cutting to the next scene before they say their location,
eg. "we're at...".

Well I rarely rarely rarely skip OPs but I am gonna do with this one.

Damn I might just ship Sasshou x Naoto now, they have so much in common. Besides me and "my-ship-never-got-canon" get along so well. Well I like Aoi x Naoto as well so won't complain much.

Damn engrishu

People who still call Aoi an ordinary tsundere should just stop watching this anime, I am seeing so much potential from her.

What help. Give me that help.

Haruka is really amazing, what speed.Sasshou is equally amazing, what hearing ability.

Episode wasn't as good as the previous ones, but I still liked it because of Mari.

Whoa Koumi's English talking skills are very good, After they found out that Mari's friend was abducted by those men I thought that they were going to have to get the police involved but instead they handled the situation fine by themselves.

I'm still uncertain as to how this got to be serialized but time will tell I hope.. The episode was fine, felt like a filler with fan service here and there. Cute scene though, I wonder if romance will play a role in this anime.

This is one of the absolute worst shows I've ever seen. There was not an ounce of effort put into; they even skipped over the battle scene which was shaping up to be the only thing in this episode could be considered even remotely entertaining.

Dem' Engrish!

A harem quarrel is coming.. let's see so far we have had snatch thieves, a bomb terrorist, and a kidnapping involving drug dealers.

I'm amazed with how many crimes are happening at railway stations. I wonder what would be next, it seems next episode is the compulsory beach episode but the appearance of that lady smells trouble.

Considering a kidnapping was highly likely, evidence of struggle, as well as an aggressor, I'm quite surprised they didn't arm themselves with their pistols prior to going to the scene. But at least they had their batons on them.

There was a purse-snatching pursuit with an ensuring fight in episode 1, a terrorist bombing (and an attempted one) in episode 2 with the mobilization of the riot police, and finally a search and rescue of a kidnapped victim, as well as a drug bust in episode 3.

Dude...seriously? You might want to try looking past the fanservice "plot".

Dammit... it's like this show has the ability to make me like it, but refuses to let me...
I actually really like the art now, especially in his epi (eespite them cutting out the fight against he drug dealers), and one or two characters are starting to grow on me. The trains and some of the world and systems are starting to intrigue me... n some of the dialogue r actually pretty entertaining...

But the freakig plot and some of the actions these ppl take r so... aifhybxhfjns.... okay, over reaction, but I just cant help but be bothered by some scenes and the logic behind them

Why are only Naoto and co, in charge of findin Sasshou's friend? Where's the friend's next of kin? Why report it to the train authorities n not the police? How come it was so convenient that the friend was held hostage right at that station?? She could've been miles away but the kidnappers decide keeping her mere metres frm the kidnap point would be the best place to hide her?

It also felt way too convenient for the kid who found the phone to completely forget where he picked it up... I mean, jeez, couldnt the parents tell the station whih stations or line they were on... surely u could eliminate a huge portion of stations frm that alone... felt like the whole thig was set up specifically for Shasshou to listen and find out the friends exact location.

U may think I'm petty, but I get this way when I'm already slightly annoyed by the show based on previous episodes...

One good thing i'll mention abt this episode is Shasshou. She's my favourite character of the whole lot. I like her character design best of all the characters too. Her talks with Naoto are some of the better ones... too bad she's only a side character for now... hopefully she returns tho
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

I know this is Passione's first full series, but I'm surprised by the amount of problems they seem to be having, especially in regards to mouth flaps. Earlier in the episode both Koumi and Sakurai's mouths are synced to one of Sakurai's lines and later Takayama is talking and his mouth isn't moving. There's also a continuing problem in regards to the detail of any artwork that isn't up close. It's also really lame that they didn't show the fight at the end of the episode. There's been a bit of action before, so I'm assuming they didn't animate it due to the budget. Still, I liked hearing Maaya Uchida speak English, it's just a shame that Passione aren't up to modern quality standards.

I hope Sakurai doesn't end up as the 'winner' in the harem that our MC is developing here ... somehow I doubt he'll wind up with anyone, if he does it'll probably be Haruka. Because, well, boobs.

So far in the harem, we've got Haruka, Sakurai (even if she doesn't know it yet), Iida and probably Sasshou if she sticks around in the cafe. With another new girl next week. Naoto, you playboy you ;)

I completely agree. It could've been the start of a decent fight scene but it seems as if the director either didn't manage their time this episode correctly or were just plain lazy
