----------------------------------------
A little girl walking nervously, trying to calm herself. Her card was unable to slide. Not enough money! A women asked what's wrong? Is it possibly that you're lost? Then she said Airi is running away from home! Then she went charging for money.
She's shocked to find her riding in Miracle Train, where all train guys, except for Tochou, greeted her. Shinjuku commented something weird. When she heard that they are train guys, she cautiously back up and accidentally stepped on Tokunaga's tail. When she heard that their purpose, she's calmed and said Miracle Train is suitable for running away from home! They all darkened! lol
After deep discussion, Shiodome decided to ask Airi. He asked too straightforward! Other trains, except Roppongi, word attacked him. Akari and Shasho came in.
Shinjuku used his usual way to take care of her (womanizer way), saying if they know the reason that she ran away from home, they would be happy. Airi is blushing and said just now was wonderful, is he a model?
Tokunaga said don't act cool in front of a child.
For train guys wanting to try their best to understand Airi, she commented them as interesting, except for Roppongi. He rarely speaks, so she said boring!
She asked about Akari, who is working at young age. She said she must be hard living a life! What Akari said finally led Airi said her reason. Finding her father.
Tochou finally came in. Airi saw him and said Papa!! (lol the title name change! Tochou's hidden child discovered!) Tochou is shocked, too. She cried when he said he's not her father.
Later when Airi's calmed down, Tochou said sorry. For doing something that let her feel better, Tochou is being her slave and do whatever she wants. He requested Shasho to rise temperature. He also explained that Miracle Train set the temperature 2 degrees lower than usual train because it rides at underground.
Tochou will be her father until she gets out of Miracle Train. He feels that he has responsibility to take care of her trouble. He was also shocked to hear her running away from home. Tochou, too, asked straightforward about the reason she ran away from home.
Roppongi suggested to ask Iidabashi for child's heart. (He's the doctor/scientist mentioned in the official site! By Satosho Hino!) He jokingly suggested to take her to lost and found (like cellphone)! He said something basically means that there's no end to it? Then he went home to cook meal for his children.
Other train guys, seeing Tochou's interaction with Airi, said they never seen that side of Tochou. Her father promised her to go to Flying Pirates from Toshimaen, the amusement park.
He went to visit Toshimaen (he was not mentioned in the official site yet). Tochou, as her father, and Roppingi, the place she ride from, is going to go visit Toshimaen with Airi under the guide of Toshimaen. A rich guy called Toshima lived Torimaen, so it was name Toshimaen...
Tochou is scared when he saw exactly what Flying Pirates was. He suggested to save the best later and go for other rides. He got shocked at all the rides he rides with Airi!!
When he was cooling down her cocoa, she commented that he really looks like her father. She finally said something about her father and showed a pic. with his father. Tochou really looks like her father except for their hairstyle. Tochou said that her parents might be worried sick for her just like if he was her real father, he would really sad if she's suddenly gone. She said that's not true. Her mother cries even if she's there. It has be Airi who finds her father back, so her mother won't be always crying. She thought that he would be there because he liked Toshimaen. Her mother told her that his father is in the Heaven. She couldn't believe that a huge guy like her father would die.
Her mother found her. She knows where Airi is because she was looking at the photo album, so she was worried, Airi said that's because she's always crying! Tochou said Airi likes her mother very much. He invited her to ride Flying Pirates with Airi, even if he's REALLY SCARED!!
After that, Tochou told Airi she doesn' have to search for her father anymore. Her mother has her.
Airi hesitated to say good bye to Tochou. He gave something to remember him. Airi said when she grows up, she's going to be his wife! He went away blushing.
Toshimaen also suggested Roppongi to talk more!
Next ep... Shinjuku? with Tsukishima.
I ♥Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!
Oh god, I can't believe that my guilty pleasure anime just made me cry. Haha. I'm so pathetic.
Loved it, overall. Generally very cute, very funny, and Tocho is amazing and adorable <3 (also, lots of Sugita seiyuu porn :'D)
Also I liked that we got to see some more stations. I know they have designs for every station on the Oedo line, which iirc is about thirty stations. Yum!:D
THE PREVIEW THOUGH. I'm kinda hyperventilating. MEN'S Miracle Train? Omnomnom<333
O hell yes, I'm actually ready for a bit of fan-service? Isn't what this anime is for anyway? :p
But on the upside, I'm really glad they switched it up a bit and Ropppongi didn't steal the episode like he usually does with charm and/or humor. He was actually called boring in this episode, which I thought was kinda weird because he's my favorite out of all of them...
Best episode for me in the funny,cute and drama By drama I mean just the part that Airi tell her father is in heavens and starts crying. I found myself laughing very hard at the arrows piercing Shiodome. At how Airi tells off that Shinjuku can get girls and Roppongi is too quiet and boring. I found out that the libadashi lost and found had over 110 000 cell phones in 2008...O_O that is a lot. Opening date of Toshimaen was interesting and how Toshimaen was founded with its moto (I did not know it was after some rich person in the middle ages and that the park's motto would be to blend in nature). Interesting. This is the first episode I had a little T_T time for Airi's crying and felt sorry for her. Tochou can be a great father! Best episode for him and since Airi is so cute I like so much this part that shows how great Tochou can be with a kid:
KayChan4U said: Wow...this episode actually almost made me cry. Really sad ):
Even though Airi was annoying this was a cute episode XD Tocho as a dad LOL ... scared of fast rides huh?! :P At the end ... oh goodness, his wife?! Ahahahaha XD He DOES have some pretty epic reactions and facial expressions though lol ;P
Roppongi you should talk more! LOL :P Toshimaen was pretty cool too :P Hmm, well I hope we actually get to the bottom of what happened last episode soon though ... :P
MEN'S Miracle Train next time?! Is ... is that a hint?! O_O *shot* LOL XD
Their reaction when the girl said "papa" for the 1st time was hilarious
And the way they looked like a real family in the end.. it was a pretty moving ep<3 :D
This episode started out really funny, when all of the stations learned that Airi ran away from home, their reactions were priceless! And also when Tocho was called papa XD Tocho and his intolerance for rollercoasters was great, I enjoyed his scared faces and screams, hehe.
Even though I had a hunch that Airi was calling Tochi her papa because her real father had passed away, I still cried because it was touching. I didn't think this anime would make me cry, but it did! +1
Btw, poor Roppongi being called boring >< And also Shiodome when all those arrows hit him
