The reason why titty-monster joined the JNR is also obviously the MC. Then there's the bitchy tsundere-typish character that just so happens to be a karate master, or something like that. + the macho sidekick Cliche much? SO FUCKING WHAT? Execution is more important than clichés. Are you implying it was executed well? |
| All I can say is, that chick's got a rack there. |
| For some reason, I don't like the big boobed one. Sakurai, on the other hand...Is she the main female lead, or is it the other one? |
| The episode was meandering around, wasted a decent premise with tired characters and was overall not really fun.Dropped for now, hopefully it gets better later. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Very interesting premise and setting. Very shit cast and it's all over the place. Bad information dumps and just a... . Honestly though, it could've been great if it wasn't for the crappy LN + highschool thing. Ugh. |
| That was enjoyable. Sakurai wants to shoot the molesters, can't believe she actually said it out loud! Wasn't expecting an action scene, that rotating kick! |
 |
| I liked it enough to watch next episode. Although there was nothing great about it , I never watched anime about trains. I do use them from time to time so it will give me a new view on it. |
Very enjoyable first episode, this looks like its going to be a pretty funny show. |

bastek66 said: Sakurai my favorite.Action scenes are fine too  This episode was alright, never seen one about trains so yeah Sakurai already is my favorite and seems to be a tsundere to MC. I want romance for Sakurai and MC. |

| I enjoyed this first episode. Looking forward to the next one. |
 |
| Overall meh, needs more camp and ridiculousness. It's just weird it being so serious yet doesn't shy away from exaggeration silly overblown action and fanservice. I don't think it will make up its mind. Call me back for the beach episode when I can finally call this a trainwreck. |
 |
| Could've been better, but it could've been worse. I enjoyed it. I'll probably stick around for the girls and fanservice. Will keep watching for now. |
| Don't like the music in the 1st half… it's too enthusiastic dropped. |

| i think it was kinda rushed this 1st episode...it didn't explain how they became so close to each other...only the MC narrates it until the one month class is over... but even so, it was good...the action scenes, the characters, and the OP and ED themes..i think i'm gonna stick to this show for a little while... xD |
| Sorta interesting. Also is it my idea or this is the same studio that made Seikon no Qwasar? Cuz the colouration seems to be the same as in there. Anyway, series is interesting. So I take it that everybody excels at something in particular and male lead is just average in all? Those boob-shots there are really far more scandalous than they should have been imo. Not that I'm fully against it, but still exagerated. On a side note. Satoshi Hino...........what have you done to me!? I swear I cannot listen to you without remembering Vector D: |
 |
| At first I thought I missed an episode with how everything was kind of thrown at us. It just seemed all over the place and I couldn't really get into it mainly because of the characters and how they interact its just weird. |
| Boobz are everywhere! |
 |
| Not bad, seemed a bit rushed though. Dat ED though. |
| Boobies! I guess learning more about trains isn't that bad. Good action scene. Sakurai really knows how to use a gun. I guess Koumi and Takayama know/met each other in the past because Koumi said he saved him again(or did I just miss something?). |
 |
| Hmm, gonna have to tone down my expectations for future episodes. I was kind of expecting more...I don't know how to say it. Comedy action based on complex train knowledge? Gonna keep watching though because I like the characters (I've always liked these kinds of cliche character setups) and the concept. As other people have said, this anime would've been amazing if it was more campy, took itself less seriously, and pulled off more over-the-top stuff. |
| The plot bounces a lot. If you know what I mean. |
| This was surprisingly fun to watch. I had very low expectations though, so I'll see what happens in the next episode. |
 |
| I was abit taken back with the whole train plot , but this is actually pretty good (fanservice is okay since it's not too much lol) |
 |
| At the start it seemed like the series could have had a lot going for it but towards the end, the dramas the characters faced and the formula became generic but it wasn't so much a problem, more noticeable if anything. The pacing was a bit off because they could have featured more on the month of training. The characters are pretty standard but it was different seeing them all speak confidently toward one another and become a friend group immediately rather than the characters pussyfoot around each other. Not sure how I felt about it. I was expecting something like the opening song and it was decent but the ending was definitely better and I didn't expect it to be like that. I'll keep watching as long as the fanservice doesn't increase and there's no more goddamn falling scenes where characters end up on top of each other in ways that aren't possible. Textless endcard  |

| Interesting anime, but that red-head chick really pissed me off... And awesome ending song ^^ |
 |
| Trains are cool, the anime. I wonder if theres is and what will play the role of evil, rather than sporadical criminals. |
| Did anyone notice how they used the old method with pliers at ticket gates. Also all the rolling stock in the show are kinda old. But still the Shinkansen Relay to Omiya was quite accurate representation of the real thing (the real one ran between 1982 and 1985) *Edit: typoes |
 "Time is liquid. One moment is no more important than any other and all moments quickly run away." |
| I was expecting this to be awful but actually it was pretty good. Dem trains are so cool. |
| Not too bad. I'm hoping this will be decent |
| I don't know how may episodes I can tolerate with this kind of fanservice. [puke] And she was happy being touched.. so desperate. pfft. And what's with those anti-gravity jumps? -.-' The story as such seems eventful. Pretty rushed for a start though... they wanted to throw in the viewer's face everything on offer. pfft. Let's see how rough this gets... considering knife was in the first ep. Bloody mess would be interesting. O.o But bloody mess and saggy-jiggling boobs? Gross. Ugh. Gew. I want to cut them off and puncture them and throw them to sharks. The hell. |

| a modern train anime. unique |
| Was boring and rushed. Hate almost all characters and the fanservice was too much. Dropped. |
| Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!” Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.” |
| Holy Crap this was...ugh... Forgettable cast with boring archetypes (Regular MC with sworn duty, Tough girl that's good at everything, Miss fanservice, and bumbling guy friend), I don't have a problem with fanservice but this was just plain forced at times (I.e. that dog rescuing when he fell on top of Miss Fanservice conveniently), general stupidity (Why not contact the other station about the robbers and intercept them? Miss Fanservice is apologizing for falling and saying 'you saved me' though the fall from that height wouldn't be harmful at all). The only merits about this I can find are the decently animated fight scene, somewhat educational about trains kind of reminds me of Upotte, and the ED theme. I had to pause at times just for a moment of clarity from this disaster. Sure a train anime (aside from the chikan hentai anime) is something different but that doesn't balance out. 2/5 Not sure if I'll watch the next episode |

| By ignoring that unnecessary fanservice and not-so good characters, i was able to mostly enjoy it.I found it fun + i love trains.Also, great OP and ED. Will probably watch more. |

| Wow, that was a lot worse than I hoped it would be. I was really looking forward to this, but things like the random boobs physics threw me off. Otherwise, the animation seems solid and the fighting was surprisingly well animated, I think. I guess we're gonna get more of that. I like trains. |: |

| "O mer gawd! Bewbies EWWW! DROPPED!" Geez everyone is so hard to please. If you automatically judge a show because of a small bit of fan service, I almost always assume you're a sexually repressed loser. I mean seriously... it's fine for someone to dislike fan service, but when it dictates your taste for entertainment, unless you're a raging homosexual, I can't come up with any other reason why anyone would do that. Anyhow, the episode wasn't phenomenal, or that serious either(not that I expected it to be), but it was pretty cool. |

| AMAZING That is all |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Every girl(s) with freakishly large chests bouncing around everywhere like the don't have bras... They both fell backwards, how the crap did he end on top of her? I seriously don't get that... Too many shounen cliches and fan service... I'll probably watch one more episode then drop it. Though, the trains plot is cool. Hopefully they expand more on that instead of fan service. |

| Cool show. It's interesting even with the unnecessary fanservice. So far it's above my least favourite which is that weird mecha I saw yesterday. Senninn1 said: This seasons anime look really weak. Just watching Free! Eternal Summer, Glasslip, Rail Wars, SAO 2, Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? Majimoji Rurumo, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, Akame ga Kill! Ao Haru Ride. And not one of them except Akame ga Kill whose manga is amazing and SAO 2 look good. I'm reading Ao Haru Ride manga. Not my favorite. Oh there we go. Every season, someone's gonna say it's a weak season which makes me laugh. Anyway, you're not even watching the better series though. o_o |
| Ok, not the best of the season, but managed to keep me entertained throughout the episode, so I'll keep watching and see where it goes. I imagine something like a terrorist attack and such for future episodes. |
