PLOT is great

This post has single-handedly convinced me not to watch even one episode of this show. What garbage.


And this post has single-handedly convinced me that you are a complete and total idiot. Scamper off to your yaoi series and let the rest of us enjoy the fanservice in peace.

I'm sure MAL will rate this series horribly, because you guys seriously have NO taste when it comes to fanservice-heavy series (NGNL being the exception). I loved it tho. The PLOT was indeed fantastic. Was not expecting nearly this level of fanservice from this series, I expected it to be a lot more random and 4-koma-ish. Is definitely on my 'watching' list for this summer. Gah, too many good shows ...

Um, yeah, don't know what to expect from that show. I'm not really into trains ya' know...

Also, that grope scene... Ugh, so cliche. How did she end up under him if she was falling on him?

The fighting scene was pretty neat though.

''You shoot them.''

Are the models they talked about real or did they just make it up? Also, coal trains need 400 kg of coal for 1 km? If that's true then woah. Worthless info but cool to know.

They made that coal number up. It's nowhere near that much. Here's "Little and Often", a training film from the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on how to shovel coal into a steam locomotive firebox. "The amount of coal needed by a Class 5 varies between four and six shovelsful, spread where they are needed. And here they are. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Between four and six shovelsful is the amount". Got that? That much coal lasts about two minutes.

Firing a locomotive is hard work, but that coal consumption is about 10x what's really needed.

If you're a train buff, this anime can be annoying. The creators don't really know that much about trains.

Seems about true. Of course it depends on the type of steam locomotive, but the Union Pacific Big Boys built in the mid 40's and one would imagine pretty efficient compared to trains 30-40 years older, burnt about 220KG of coal per KM. The trains carried 28 tons of coal.

No, only about 8800 Kg/hr for a Big Boy to go 112km in an hour. Only 78Kg/km. And that's a MUCH bigger locomotive than the ones in the anime. (Looking forward to UP-4144 coming out of overhaul!)

Not exactly what I expected but it got better towards the end. I guess the characters will have interesting pasts though their personalities won't be much of a treat.

From an objective point of view, this show is terrible and cliche, but from a pure entertainment point of view...it was still pretty bad.

Just didn't do anything for me. The characters are pretty boring and generic, the only entertaining one being the macho guy. Some character s are utterly useless and there for fanservice (cowtits, for example). Art was okay, noticing a lot of QUALITY in the first episode, though that fight sequence looked pretty good.

I also find it hilarious how literally no sub group picked this up yet.


boring & generic characters. generic and predictable scenes. There wasn't a single character in this first episode that didnt scream "cliche"

the art quality was pretty shit a lot of times, imo. the fight scene near the end was probably the most interesting part of this episode--which was meh at best.

4/10 could've been way better.

Nice way to start a JNR OJT show, aside from the giant boobs and unneeded violence which probably come from a trainstation officer if someone has seen partyboy doing his things in Japan

The training and mechanics of trains is interesting, when practising with a coal fueled machine fuel efficiency came to me as a surprise
I never knew they would have gun training as well, something I would mainly thought the police force would do

Erm.. i guess I now know more about trains... + the fight scene was actually better than I'd seen in some other anime, it's just a shame the reason it happened was stupid. I mean, just ring up the other station jeez..

I hope the information is right, then i can at least use it for education :L

Haruka looks like the girl from Gokukoku no Brynhildr.

The episode itself executed the mechanics pretty good. IMO, considering the type of show it is, explaining the mechanics is one of the most important stuff that was covered very well.

This sure has a bouncy plot.
Anyways, finished the 1st episode using Watakushi's subs, for those who were wondering "SUBS FUCKIN' WHERE?!".

Damn, Sakurai is a badass along with Iwaizumi.
Those punches were charged with ovar 9000 powerlevel.

Not sure how I feel about the CGI trains though.
OP & especially ED was amazing. +1.

And, please don't make the male protagonist a weak one. >.<
OGM DAT ENDCARD 11/10

Next: "Let me stay like this for a little while"


Sakurai? Badass? You must be kidding, she's the typical "WAAAAAAAH ALL MEN R PIGS!1!1!!11111 DDDDDDDX" bullshit whiny cunt.

Soooooo.....typical male MC, Sakurai is a whiny bitchy egotistical cunt, Haruka is a moeblob, and the only one that's actually left is Iwaizumi. I like him.
Honestly, the characters are.......ok, and the story moved at light-speeds. I'm not entirely sure if I really like it or not. I'll stick around for the ride, but I really don't like Sakurai. She's a whiny cunt, and thinks she can get away with generalizations.

For example:
>"DUN LET HIM F0OL U, MEN R JUS EGOTISTICAL PIECES OF SHIT"
Meanwhile, BOTH guys on the security team chase down purse snatchers and the one who was called "egotistical" actually figures a way to catch them.

If Sakurai were removed from Rail Wars, it would be so much better.

3/5

Episode a bit disappointing.
The sense of déjà vu felt towards the characters and in general in the way they faced the situation, I have not really looked genius.
I have seen too many stereotypes at once, bad!
Luckily environments and the trains were designed well.
Unfortunately we can not say the same for the part concerning the protagonists, drawing in that case were erratic.
For the music, I have yet to be evaluated.
For now, my vote is 6/10!

Right at the scene when the trainees were about to fire their first shots, they all had put on sound canceling ear protection, but the next moment the main character and the busty p[ink hair broad dont have them on. Then after firing they have them on again. ART CONTINUITY FAIL! But shows kinda interesting so far. ^~^

I wasn't really interested in this after the first episode when it first aired, but an anime focused around trains intrigued me... so here I am now, coming back to this a year after the whole show finished airing. I'm not a "densha otaku" train geek by any means, but I do enjoy them and think this show has potential. Looking forward to seeing how it goes!

pleasantly surprised by this. Was expecting basically railfan porn but the story is decent and interesting so far. I will say though the fact that they went and took that "experimental train" rather than just reporting to their superior which could have alerted the officers in the other station almost instantly annoyed the hell out of me.

Also, I don't think I'll look at early comments ever again, jeez the amount of people judging the show simply on a gif of jiggling breasts, how idiotic can people be?
