| Well it hasn't been my favourite series of this season, but I thought these past two episodes were pretty slick, and I loved how they fit in with that previous episode. The ending was really sweet, as she walked past I was getting worried she'd lost her memories of everything, but then she stopped and smiled so yay. :) |
| I'm not sure why I loved this anime as much as I did, but I really couldn't get enough of it each week. There was something about it, that was endearing. As stereotypical as each of the guys started out being, they still were likable in little quirky ways. This isn't the type of series I would fall for and enjoy so much, but I don't regret a minute. I love this final episode... I loved the little looks between Fumi and Akari, that was perfect and made me smile. I loved that they showed us what happened to all the past customers too. I would totally watch a second season if the director and staff stays the same XD |

| This anime was definitely something out of what I normally watch, I loved it, and I loved all the characters. And while it didn't hold anything special, it's incredibly easy to get close to all of them. I wasn't particulary moved by the 'way' things ended, but the ending itself was pretty sweet seeing all of our protagonist girls. One of my favorite fall animes. |
| Aw it's over... This was certainly the only series of this season that I looked forward to every week. It was a good one. |
| AAAWWWWW! I thought it would go on!! & what about the last lines of the final chapter, somethoing like " will you fall in love with a srarion?" Does that means that Akari-chan is in love with roppongi-san? OH! Happy, Happy ending by the way. NICE! |
 |
| i freaking love this anime!! i always looked forward to watch this every week.. this is my fav anime of fall 2009.. i`m gonna miss this.. Q.Q roppongi san!! |
What a great last episode about Akari. I had no idea she was on a tour of Roppongi station to only get lost and find Roppongi then activating with boarding the Miracle Train at a trial run. That feature is hard to understand of the Time Stop, is the diagram a chart of the flow of time of each person? So since Akari's diagram was already distorted once, a second time happened when she was 20 and boarded the train again but this time it brought her back to being 11? The third time if I understand happened when she picked up the old watch that was left at Roppongi station when she was 11 the first time? I admit the conductor was really scary.....to put all the train station to sleep just like that and he can erase memories just like that? On top being able to be invisible and to teleport?  and she was much more cute in casual clothes here=> ED scenes comments for fun Over all it was fun and loved all the great social/emotional problems of people and how they were solved. Loved especially the information on the trains and what each station is for. Very useful information if I am to go for vacations to Japan.Looks like Chinatsu made new friends and all is good for her. She was a favorite of mines among the passenger girls=> |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |

Thanks, I was thinking this is really the best one of Akari. |

| This was the best climatic episode of the series...even better than the last episode which was a cliffhanger. There's only one problem that keeps picking at me like a vulture: how the hell does Akari not feel uncomfortable in those tight kids clothes, and not express it other than in the puppet segment. |
Ash-Falls-Town said: The way I see it is that Akari was still a guide even though her diagram got fixed. Young Akari got on the Miracle Train and her diagram got split. 10 years later Akari boards the miracle train and her diagrams try to join together but fail. At this point I think there might of been two Akari's for the whole series (with 20 year old Akari still living her normal life). 2 Akaris? O_O That is pretty scary to think about for a minute. Did not the diagram got split three time, third time being Akari who picked up that watch? Ash-Falls-Town said: The Train couldn't of saved Mayu because the only reason the train could go back in time was because of time space being warped by the split watch. What about the train's overdrive system. Was that not the thing that made it go through time warps? Ash-Falls-Town said: BTW the first guy is Toshimaen. (He went to the theme park with Roppongi, Tocho and Airi.) The second guy dressed as Santa isn't Tocho but Iidabashi. Who was also a station in Airi's episode.Edit: Late Ah so the confusion is over with your information. Thanks again. 4kicks said: This was the best climatic episode of the series...even better than the last episode which was a cliffhanger. Yeah that was a sudden scary surprise especially with those eyes of his. 4kicks said: Who the hell is he to decide how others should live? And was it Tokugawa that spoke to the conductor right before time warped into the past?...seeing as how he was just sitting there in the middle and the conductor is looking around for that voice, seeing nothing but Tokugawa. Well, all well that ends well I guess, I was more for Akari staying in the train and you got to admit that she was pretty brave to accept her memories being erased by the conductor just shows how much she loves all the guys in the miracle train.Also I though for a minute the conductor might be her father. 4kicks said: So I take it that the conductor did not erase those memories at all at Roppongi/Tsukishima's request. 4kicks said: That is a good lol but she looked ok in them minus the fact of her panties being seen if she climbs stairs.There's only one problem that keeps picking at me like a vulture: how the hell does Akari not feel uncomfortable in those tight kids clothes, and not express it other than in the puppet segment. |

francismeunier said: Really? I am completely not informed. Who is Toshimaen again? Toshimaen is from the ep. who Tochou brought a girl to amusement park type place. He also told Roppongi that he's boring, ep. 8? francismeunier said: Ok, now I got fooled. Who is this Iidabashi person? Iidabashi is a long hair guy who ties a ponytail. He's a doctor/scientist who first appeared in ep. 8. Those are minor characters like Shinjuku's brothers that appeared earlier ep. Edit: I didn't read Ash-Falls-Town's post which explained those for me. Nevermind. |

| Blah episode. I'm not sure whether the show should get a 4 or a 5 from me since it had two stand out episodes. That said, it was really formulaic and bland. I'm a little disappointed that the conductor started acting the way he did, but I can't be all that surprised since I think the voice actor normally plays those parts, and I half expected it from the beginning. Oh well, it was what it was. |
| It'll be a funny day if they ever announce a second series of this wonderful rubbish, everyone else bashing it and me all "moar guilty pleasure anime!Yay!8D" I loved this show lmaooo. Ima miss it. Also I totally ship AkarixRoppongi now xD -shot- |
| I think I'm giving this show a 6/10. Basically because it seemed too plain, and it wasn't really that exciting. Though I'll admit some moments mad me tear up ): Like episode 11 I think it was..with the dead chick. And..this made me lol. Geass? Otherwise, meh. The show could have been a bit better. |

KayChan4U said: And..this made me lol. Geass? Otherwise, meh. The show could have been a bit better. LOL~ i agree xD anyways this ended with solving Akari's problem ... isnt too bad bah |

| It's far from being a great anime and all, but I enjoyed it, coz it made me take my mind off some bad stuff. But I'm only wondering about the end. It's 100% undoubtful that both Roppongi and Akari were able to see each other and they definitely had all their memories. But in the very end, does that mean Akari and Roppongi fell in love with each other?^^ I've had that feeling throughtout the series whenever they were talking to each other, but I thought it'd not be very nice, since Akari had a child-like appearance. But I guess the ending only confirmed that?.. |

| Miracle Train wasn't the best series I've seen but the last 3 episode was good to my stand. The ending made me ship Roppongi x Akari :D They look so cute together and what the narrator said the word when Akari and Roppongi met agian made me even more wishing they actully felt in love. |

| OK, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be after watching the initial episodes. It really made a change for the better. |
 |
NEKO-est said: " will you fall in love with a srarion?" Does that means that Akari-chan is in love with roppongi-san? I was thinking that too. It's odd wanting to root for a person and a train station to end up together. o_O. I don't think I can fully support that. Otherwise, I enjoyed this series far more than I should've. I think this show was a guilty pleasure for me. |
| How long would it take to earn 50 million yen, Karasawa? - Katsuya No longer than it would take to get to the bank, provided I have a gun. -Karasawa I'm through talking with you. -Katsuya |
| Last three episodes of this series were really great :) i liked how it ended with Roppongi and Akari staring at each other really good series for me :) |
 |
| +3 just for the last 3 episodes. Man this was supposed to be a crappy bishie series. But it really went for a drastic change after episodes 6-7. I just started it for the sake of some lightness while watching the tensed Gungrave but this actually got me more interested. But to think there actually was a plot lying underneath ... I wondered several times why Roppongi is hinted to be the most prominent train stations. I guess that solves it. What an unexpected turn of events, stupid as it was. Instant change to shounen series with that bastard of a conductor! Hah. And aww I loved the ending. I guess it's safe to assume that Roppongi and Akari met again ... and fell in love. <3 |
 |
| Awww! That last two lines! ~ Will you fall in love with a train station?! ~ (Akari x Roponggi ) ~ Give it a try! Kyaaaaaaaa! Love that! Akari is sooo beautiful in that scene! what the?! Roponggi and akari are perfect for each other! :DD I wasn't expecting much from this, but it turned out to be really good. I was thinking of giving it an 8.. but with the last episodes, it raised up to 9.. and the last two lines/last scene was a bomb! Now, I'm torn between 9 or 10! Gahhhh! What the hell! :DD ~ Until the last episode, i really liked the conductor! kyahaha. i wish to know more about him! Even though he acted like that, they were just both thinking for the betterment of Akari.. Awts! All in All~ Great series! :D |

| I started out skeptically. It wasn't that amazing either. But you know what? I enjoyed it. I liked it. (Though it was still pretty bad overall, save the last episode.) Roppongi x Akari? Yes, I want to fall in love with a train station too! Initially gave it a 2. But I liked the end and I found another favorite character. 4/10 |

| That was ... interesting o_O Who knew the conductor had so many powers ... I was thinking for a second he might be related to Akari lol XD A bit confusing with the diagrams and stuff, but basically Akari went on the Miracle Train when Roppongi was still opening up and that stopped her time, even though she continued "living" until she was 20. I'm assuming when she left at the end she went back to her 20 year old life. Also a bit confusing, it said that being on the Miracle Train stops your time but for Mayu her time kept going on, since she boarded a bit after 5 and kept asking the time. Maybe it was different for her because she was a ghost? Hmm ... Roppongi has the watches and that saves Akari and allows her to continue on. I was sort of expecting him to have a bigger role but I don't like it that much IMO (I can't seem to feel anything for him) but whatever lol :P Hmm, so Tokugawa was there and stopped the conductor ...?! Or that's what it seemed like ... the dimensions and the "No. 12" thing still weren't really explained (neither was why they are in human form) but I guess that's all we're going to get lol. Nice ED showing everyone and how they're living now. Hmm, so it seems to hint at Akari falling in love with Roppongi ... haha, fall in love with a station, why don't you? I've been wondering about that but now it seems like it makes sense ;P Overall it was actually better than I expected when I went to finish this series. The music was really good, art and characters were fine, and plenty of mini-arcs with the girls and some were actually really well done. The whole Akari and trouble thing seemed to come a bit out of nowhere but it was still fun to watch, so I'll give this a 7/10 XD |
| Silly, awesome, heart-warming series<3 It's not just your average bishonen anime. It makes you feel good!! At least that's how I felt :D And you learn a lot about train stations in the process lol. The ending was so nice. Putting in pics of their past passengers in the end was also a great touch :') Overall, what can I say.. I Loved it! |
EvianBubble said: That was ... interesting o_O Who knew the conductor had so many powers ... Yeah seriously right? I was surprised when the conductor's eyes glowed red and then made the station's unconscious. It's still kind of a mystery though regarding the whole Miracle Train thing, like how the conductor is called No.12 and has a boss. Hm, if he's conductor no.12, I wonder how many other miracle trains there are X) I actually didn't care that much about Akari, but I'm glad it ended well for her, with her diagram getting fixed. It also seems like she still has her memories since that last part she and Roppongi looked at each other <3 so cute!  The ending was also nicely done, one of the best anime endings I've seen and am most satisfied with. It connected back to the same narration that was used in the beginning of most of the episodes, and then we finally understand the part where it says, “Won’t you fall in love with a station?” And of course, the ED was really nice, made me feel a little nostalgic (even though I only started to watch this I think 3 days ago) about the anime, seeing how the other customers are living now. In the beginning it mostly relaxing episodes, then there were a lot of funny parts, and even a few touching episodes that made me cry. I’m glad I stumbled upon it while looking at the anime KajiKaji has voiced in, and I’m definitely going to miss it! |
| Ah shit. I'm sad now. That was actually a really good ending to a decent show. Very bittersweet. My OTP did not get together in the end. Well, hopefully the very last part is ambiguous! Final rating is 7/10 because of four very strong episodes out of the thirteen in total. What it did really well was the main plot and foreshadowing. I love how they threaded so many little things together to create the grand ending. Might re-rate later when my feels have calmed down. |
| I actually thought that this ended quite abruptly and in the end, the story about how they became train stations and why they are solving girls' problems were'nt told. But I really enjoyed watching this and Roponggi and Akari's moments are really nice. |
