----------------------------------------
Many people bumping into a woman, and she gets into the train from Shinjuku. She met the train guys.

She wants to get out because she cannot believe it.

She was supposed to be in a party, but she's 14 so she cannot be in there. The party is for omiai.

Shinjuku began to use his way but that girl hit him. Then they found out that she has her life planned out.

Weird, there's more train guys (There are 4 brothers for Shinjuku, including Rintarou!).

She's refused to say her name because she hates "Michi". (She finally said her problem) Shinjuku brought her Shinjuku's streets with his brothers explaining their streets.

There's to more to her reason to hate trains! She almost got her name as "Tetsu" because her parents like to travel on train.

She wants to get out of Miracle Train but it keeps coming back to her. Shinjuku said something and Michi rode a train with her memory when riding a train. So that took care fof her problem, to be able to be on her new journey.

Next ep. is Ryougoku.

This was a pretty weak episode. I felt like the resolution was very abrupt and forced.

I agree but then that's not something new to the series...

lol for Shinjyuku's brothers.
This Anime exists for male Seiyuu fans surely.

I pretty much agree with you and it's the only reason why I'm watching it. I do wonder who the brothers' seiyuu were, too.

The art was a little weird at some points, Shinjuku's face was loopsided in many scenes. The girl was a total Tsundere, I guess they're trying to also include all female archetypes to make everyone feel at home at Miracle Train, who knows.

I laughed a lot during the episode, I just can't take this series seriously. I like the little chibis at the end though. They're always so cute.

Can't stand this shit anymore. Normally, I hate seeing people drop a series only 3 episodes in, but this....this is just straight-out awful.

The first like ten minutes is just repeating what we already know, I'm tired of hearing about girls' bitching about their lame lives, and its just all in all stupid.

Maybe it does exist just for the voice actor fanservice, but I could care less. In fact, I don't even give a damn about Japanese voice actors. All I care about is nice subtitles :P

Fuck this anime. Dropped.

I'm a bandwagon whore

Almost no Tokugawa on this ep. Buu!

The Shinjuku triplets scared me xD and the girl on this ep was extremely annoying. That scene when her voice echoed gave me a headache. Tsk.

Anyway, every time Morita Ryuogoku speaks he just makes me burst out laughing. I can't stop imagining Ichigo doing this host-like show XDD

why will no one who hates this drop it?XDD

i'm firmly on the side saying it's so bad it's good, but even I thought this episode was subpar. Still funny in parts, but the girl was very annoying, and her problem was solved waaay too abruptly. I was like "that was it?!And now it's all ok?What?"
We never even found out why she started hating trains in the first place, since obviously she loved them when she was little >.> (unless I missed something)
Also despite this being Shinjuku's episode we didn't get that much focus on him, and the animation seemed a little off :/
I liked the addition of his brothers, though.
And i'm looking forward to the next episode. XD -guilty pleasure-

Shinjuku, bring your brothers back, I like them better than you.

Weak episode. It ended and I was like, "Wait, what? She's better? When?"

That was such a emotional story. T_T I must be getting more emotional with anime. I learned about Shinjuku that there are places that can be relaxing but are are will hidden. Also Hanazono manjus. Should try some when I visit that train station. Michi means road but tetsu means steel/iron and with a do just the do can mean road. Kabuki information was interesting and the Shinjuku brothers were also interesting in terms of Shinjuku exits. Michi was also interesting and cute when she was small and a little bit older. So far my favorite of all the girls with her looks. I though that ar 14 girls can get married with the consent of parents? Does it mean that at 16 they can married by themselves? I wonder about that. The words at the end of episode were very wise and Rintarou did a great job!

In spoiler my anime list for now.

I don't know why I'm watching this...it's probably the first time I've regarded a series with bishies to be 'boring and crappy'. The only other one I didn't like was Meine Liebe..and possibly Angelique.

Same thing all the time; chicks saying they have a crappy life. I really hate when the guys just pop up and are all "WE'LL HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROBS." It's sort of annoying..as is the music :/ I don't really believe in dropping anime that much...so I might as well finish it even if it bores me to tears.

I like this anime, it's refreshing to me.
While I agree that this episode ended rather abruptly, it would get old for the same girl to be in so many episodes when each one is supposed to be with someone new.
That being said, I look forward to the fourth episode, and I'm really enjoying this show. It leaves me feeling relaxed and happy at the end of the episodes, so it's the perfect show to watch right before going to bed.

WOW I was gonna complain she sounds too young but she just LOOKS old! O_O Only 14 seriously?! XD Her life plan is hilarious lol :P
Shinjuku brothers omg lol XD
Aweh her parents took her traveling?! I sure wouldn't mind that D; Ah well, she gets to go on her journey, yay ... a bit of an abrupt ending but I guess they had to quickly fix her "problem". Although her reactions to the train people were funny to watch :P
Cute chibis at the end XD

The girl in this episode was kind of annoying :P Although I agree that this episode, or the solution was very abrupt, I think it's actually well planned by the script writer. After all, the girl is 14 years old, and her problem was a small one (not to say that all teenage problems are small but this one sure was). Little problems like this one can be solved pretty easily and that's exactly what happened in this episode. Teenagers are rebellious and defiant just like the way Michi was with her parents. I think this anime does a great job of portraying real life problems, may it be a complicated or a simple one. Looking at the previous comments, I believe this isn't an anime for everyone, especially ones who are expecting something big to happen. Miracle Train is just like how slice of life is supposed to be, calm and relaxing.

Boring episode, but I did like the trivia and hearing the Shinjuku Brothers voice actors made my day. (Tatsuhisa Suzuki and Tomoaki Maeno <333) Also, adding kabukichou to my to-go list.
