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.

" 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.

+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!

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.
