So the preair of the first episode was today... Well I have no idea about trains in general... But the girls are sooo cute. I wouldn't mind if my the were my train driver. Well definitely worth to watch for 3 min each episode.

tbh I'm disappointed, it really shows how the staff cut corners with the animation because the movements look stiff as hell. Also it wasn't a good idea to introduce almost all the girls right off the bat in the first episode, considering its short format.
I don't know man, I really want to like this, promo art looked so good that I could've set my expectations too high, but the anime itself doesn't look very promising so far.

Just throw in a bunch of cute girls with quirky personalities and call it day, that's why I love anime.

It's supposed to be 1989 yet they have smartphones and a flat screen tv. Kind of annoyed me but it's anime so anything goes. Also 3 minutes isn't much so can easily watch this.

Pretty weak first episode, an introduction dump and none of them is memorable, tho the main chick has a good voice actress.

So uh are they just gonna keep Hachiroku, Paulette, Reina and the other Maitetsu girls in the background as this constant reminder that this is presumably just a roundabout advertisement for Maitetsu's new Last Run release, but never actually include them in the show?

Even for a spin-off short the whole idea of this show just feels odd to me

This is a shame. A real shame. I had fully expected they would adapt the eroge, but honestly, this is kind of underwhelming.

Lazy writing, worldbuilding speech at the start should've been cut. Cute characters but not in the right anime.

I didn't play the VN and maybe that's why, I didn't get a thing and not even who is who. All I got was the lolis are "Railords" or something. Oh well, at least the designs are cute and it's only 3 minutes so I'll stay unless it becomes unbearable.

Of course the Japanese have a preference for trains, however, this episode serves to introduce the story, even if reading the synopsis, I would say that there is a certain inconsistency, oh well! And to present the characters, then there is no time for anything else, given the time available. While not very confident, I look forward to seeing the next episodes.

Smartphones and flat screen televisions can be accepted, if we take into account what the synopsis says.

As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best anime seasons, because there are so many anime sequels that I love.

Oh my, another 'shut your damn brain off' and enjoyed a bunch of the damn lolipop? I wanna like this and give my fullest attention. But, the duration was too short. I was expecting a standard duration. But, oh well, its a short advertisement, then. I don't even know where that shitty tag harem even came from. So far, as the introduction of all girls, this first kinda lacking its potential to shine. A weird setting of the story just gave me an off-vibes too. An antic situations came from the past era, with a lot of advanced technology, surely its just damaged my brain logic much. XD

Whatever, at least its served nice as a CGDCT typical. So i don't mind at all to watched this until its over.

I'm not going to critique this one cause I can't expect character development in like 3 minutes and this one has no major events so it won't matter anyways. So far it's just fine, like cute anime girls wearing train outfits, what else can I want more? I'm going to spread my degenerate wings and fly through heaven as an angel and soar into the skies to finally ready myself to experience this heaven. It's fine so far or just average actually. It's kinda hard to know what's happening but I watched Tatami Galaxy so it's not a problem so far. I mean, it looks promising, like cute girls doing cute things, I'm in.


5/10 or just 5, I mean... How do I rate this??



Plus that ED is a banger.

Well,this anime is really short one.

I have a problem with this anime not because is short time CGDCT Anime. But because they have Narrative Exposition in less than 5 minutes anime is pretty bad sign for bad anime. But, Hopefully that Narrative Exposition just in this episode.

Another Problem is sometimes facial expression are pretty stiff, it makes some pretty disturbed when watching it.

But other than that I just Confuse. Like what is purpose of meeting and what relation train to selling some stuff in first place. Maybe will have fragment of information in next episode.

On other people discussion they have problem about Smartphone and Flat Screen TV, but for me is not a problem because this was short anime they don't have time to world stuff explanation in there. So for me is pretty alright.

The girls are pretty Cute too, like what what you hope in CDGCT Anime.

Overall is pretty bad start but hey this anime is short and they have change to make things better. Well we see what Next Episode gonna looks like.

Man, what does MAL have against short anime? This is the exact same CGDCT stuff half of you guys eat up every season, just in 3 minute chunks.

IMHO it makes it better, because it's not dragging out a paper thin story and wasting my time.
