Preliminary (6/12 eps)
DIRTY RAIL WARS REVIEW:

MINDSET:
HAREM. ENOUGH SAID.

SYNOPSIS:
After that holy shift opening, Generic Harem Lead has the natural ability to lead all of the chicks to fall in love in him like some sort Whores Masturbator because of his good heart while its completely bounded by Your ordinary Harem ending, like, why can't it should've been a Hentai in the first place with the whole group banging each other excluding his one male friend? And the reason why this review exists? F**king Holden and its all about trains. Obvious Fact.

REVIEW:
Hearing the word Harem, I pretty much see mass clones of the same thing over and over again, of course, there are those who put a bit more effort into the writing such as Oreshura's Misuzu, Shuffle, just play it up in a completely different perspective (deconstruction) like School Days, or the most enjoyable of all those types of Harem... Harem Hentai obviously, since I give it a wooden medal for the best consistency.

And if You really hate Harems, and You know this repeated trend very well and are pretty much not willing to watch any at the moment, then You can predict my entire review, and leave some positive feed back that I didn’t waste precious minutes of Your life span. Go off, shoo, so You can other things in life such as baking a self-detonating cake or something.

So if You really want to know, yes, all characters are a complete one dimensional stereotypical Archetpye who simply blorb out an Otaku's fantasy. Like the useless whore, the tsundere, the quiet girl, the forever alone comic relief, the unseen father etc. So there is noting much to talk about in those realms either.... Unless if You think these are actual complex characters (in that case I'll shoot you for taking those drugs) and You know, the development is very minimal to none, so all what You'll remember from the girl team were there cute faces and boob proportions. No, there zero characters who are worthy enough to be in this review.

Sure Harems have the horrible tendency to mass clone themselves especially that where in the 2010's, but something that I do kind of appreciate at what so many of these Harem are doing (and what there actually best at) is there surprisingly good consistency. You see, the show knows what it wants to be, and really sticks to it without derailing. Do You wannabe see softcore porn? Check! Would You like to see a bunch of girls? Check! Are the boob jokes finally making You laugh? Check! Sure its easy to write those kinds of stories, but considering the material the writers have to work with and how its supposed to be portrayed, then You can see why it should deserve some redeeming bronze just for that. This one is just no exception, except You know, it has trains! And Its like trying to make its some sort of marketing scheme to mix Thomas the Tank engine look more BA with he's new pimping design, and how a lot chicks ride on that long, long travelling rod of his...

However such one good trait ricochets back like too many other harems, and that’s because it is very, very, VERY boring to watch the same thing over and over again. There is also a lack of story or any interesting character to appeal the audience, sure it would be OK if it really was just a bunch of people doing “Stuff” and there is actually nothing profoundly or noticeably wrong with rail wars because it achieved what it was trying to do ever since the first episode.

What is there to say about the Animation? All what I remember were a bunch boobs and panty shots. Its budget is clearly mediocre, and the colours are bright. Animation is very consistent.

If there is anything I would clap at the music, it would be the OP and ED song making the whole show sound (not look) like a cool action show that I would give a higher score for.

LEGACY:
You watch it, You forget it like any Harem that was cloned. It makes a good tactic for killing time, or to simply use it as some sort of video material. People watch it, they forget it....

SCORES:
4/10 – Very Self-Aware, but very boring. There’s not even an “Actual Plot” in harems.
4/10 – ARCHETYPES.
5/10 – Mediocre Budgeted Animation
6/10 – Cool OP and ED bro.
3/10 – This show lacks any value or entertainment, since I gotten bored of the Harem formula ages ago.

FINALE: 4/10.... maybe that was too kind, but whatever.
