The show is boring me. I thought even if execution was off (which I could see from episode 1) that at least the scenarios might be ridiculous enough for keep me entertained. Unfortunately that isn't either. Might give the show one more episode before dropping it.

Hmm I really don't get why people dislike this so much. Sure the tag on the MAL page is wrong(seriously this isn't action) but it's still fun to watch. Gets quite a few laughs out of me even though it's predictable(maybe even because of that).

Well. Whatever. As long people stop watching it altogether instead of going like


this after every episode. If you don't like it drop it but don't bash it constantly.

The show is nice despite the huge boobs. Most of all I hate the shining asses... why do we have to see every detail of the ass?!! o_O
Another thing I was wondering about: why the f*ck keep talking to each other when you have only like 2 minutes left to disarm the bomb xD

oh well. Wondering what the next episode will bring us...

This show scratches a strange Bollywood itch that I never knew I had. Tons of inconsistencies and corniness, but it makes me enjoy the show even more somehow, like looking for easter eggs.


I have a feeling this show is going to pull a Sakurasou with the shipping. It'll go between both female protagonists and we'll never get a clear answer.

I'm more surprised how the 2 guys don't react to all of the tits/ass shots. I was expecting something to happen when the kid dived into her boobs lol.

Yeah, I pretty much lost it when her mouth stopped moving. This show is bad and the characters are still totally one dimensional, especially MC. I'm still holding out hope that Koumi will end up being a yandere, though.

Still, the ass and titties are amazing and is enough to keep me around until at least the third or fourth episode. Dat plot.

That was a lot more enjoyable than the first episode. Maybe because I lowered my expectations by half. Or maybe it was actually good. I can't even tell anymore. Defusing a bomb is a pretty cool concept by itself. Too bad they didn't twist it up a bit.

Love the subtle fan service of Sakurai with those tight shorts and leggings shots.

Decent episode, even with all the barely noticeable/unimportant little slights (Bottle nozzle? Blank poster? Seriously?! You guys must be anal. Lighten up!). The pacing was decent, and the characters were mostly believable. I can understand the "putting others before yourself" mentality and the "try to be a hero and diffuse a bomb" mentality, but whats with Koumi standing around the lost and found doing nothing of use for a whole 4 minutes? It added absolutely nothing to the scene and then Naoto basically tells her off by saying "GO actually help some people outside for F's sake!" before she even thinks of moving away. Funny thing, she wasn't even scared there, just blank....

Yes that kid was aiming for Koumi's rack. That scene would never have happened with Sakurai otherwise.

Oh that cliche diffuse the bomb in time thing is getting really old... for once you would hope to see them fail and the lost-and-found get blown to smithereens. It would make for a better character development ploy, methinks. Failure is a bigger learning experience than success afterall. I still find it unbelievable that the bomb scene just happened to be in the same episode that they ate the dessert with liquid nitrogen, and that it only took Sakurai less than 30 seconds to rush out to grab the nitrogen bottle and run back in time to save them all, it's just physically impossible unless the restaurant was NEXT DOOR, AND Sakurai knew where the liquid nitrogen was placed (remember, cutting the red line basically SPED UP the countdown, she ran out at a little under 1:30 left).... Come on, even Usan Bolt wouldn't have been able to run more than 300 meters with that time limit.

The scene between Sakurai and Takayama at the end was just..... I dunno, basically he won her over with his dumb sense of selflessness and lack of common sense (oh its a bomb, we gotta pick it up and get rid of it! Dunno if it has any traps or how big the blast radius is though). We now get the buds of a Triangle where the big forgettable dude gets, not even the short end of the stick, but no stick, lol.

Oh well, it was fun to watch though. The OP and ED work for me.
Can't wait to see what other disaster shows up in the coming episodes (am betting there'll be one about earthquakes because, hey, they already had thieves and terrorists, they'll be running out of ideas soon).

Edit: Just noticed the new girl in the next episode preview. Mari! (Have a thing for headphone girls :P)

I've recently heard Rail Wars! described as "horribly average," and to be honest that is a perfect description of this series so far.
It's not bad (except for the fact that they don't understand how liquid nitrogen works in this episode), but there doesn't seem to be any heart behind what they're writing. It feels like "another action series," and it's definitely not campy enough to be a parody of action series, so I don't see what the point of it is.

Dat ass, dat ass everywhere. Sakurai confirmed for best ass girl. In all seriousness though, it was nice to see Sakurai's soft side at the end.

But damn lol, the first real day at their jobs and they have to diffuse a bomb already. What's up next?

Okay there's no avoiding the fact that Rail Wars is mediocre. The only reason I'm still watching this anime is for Sakurai's fucking delicious booty.

this show is so dumb.

and all the girls walking around with their skirts wedged up their inexplicabl shiny asses....

i don't mind stupid fanservice shows, but if you're going to be a stupid fanservice show don't pretend that you're not. the concept for this show was actually kind of interesting. but i can't take this show seriously for a second.

Poor Takayama. All he wanted was to become a train engineer. Now he's deputy director of I have no idea what. His first task should be to transfer that read headed bitch somewhere else.

After a short string of tweets on Twitter I came here to see what other peeps think. I'm happy that many share the same feelings I have.

I just feel that the show seems empty. Like, I just sat there and watched something happen. I did not feel engaged at all. Are they trying to be dramatic? Funny? Perhaps a mixture of both? Other shows this season manged to flesh out multiple characters, and actually have me feel for them when something goes bad/good in their lives, within the first two episodes.

I'm not even bringing the animation errors (and yes, I feel that when a show has a shopping list of errors it's worth noting) into my judgement since I can overlook those to an extent. The only one I personally noticed was that Sakurai's chest was magically changing size between episodes/scenes. And yes, Sakurai does have a nice tush, but your animation budget should not go into a single character's "assets". If you're going for a Harem-type thing then that's totally cool since the focus is ON the assets most of the time.

Next week I will watch again. Most likely the week after that too. I have hope that something will make the show feel less empty to me and give it some needed vigor.

An actual conflict of some sort would be nice. :/

Haha i know right. So as the cops were gonna hand him the money, the terrorist has already set the bomb and regardless what there deal was, he was just playing like a bitch.

So you have an anti crime unit that uses the train and instead of putting them at a convenient location from which they can respond right away you put then underground.
And instead of using mechanical equipment to operate the doors and the lift of the train you make it all hand operated.
Sure that really works from a position like that they can certainly respond fast...

That scene is borrowed from Galaxy Railways. "Big One", their rescue train, has a similar lift. Without the guys trying to lift it by hand, or the manual doors, which made no sense at all.

Anyone notice the animators ran out of time (I'm guessing)? There's a scene at 15:57 with a static image. There's voices... but the mouths ain't moving.

Otherwise... it was a decent episode. I thought the way they resolved the situation was at least a bit more realistic than most anime. I like to watch light stuff like this while I eat. Like Moonchipz said, it's entertaining for what it is.


Yea, on the AUEngine video, I noticed that from 15:57 to about 16:08 the animation static. The voices can be heard, but their mouths weren't moving.



I'm curious if Liquid Nitrogen would really help in real life when diffusing bombs.

I'm sure that crying kid just wanted to to cuddle in Haruka's boobs xD

He had to touch her breast to reach the yellow one.. uhm.. why not?

Perv kid, those crocodile tears, I know you're faking it. :p

Not sure if I am the only one, but I like the first episode better. Threaten to bomb the train station seems to be a good way to earn money. To be honest I thought it was stupid to search for the bomb, first of all they don't know how many bombs there are, right? Second, if you mobilize that many staffs to search for it, if the bomber is nearby, he would've noticed. He could have detonate the second one as a warning. I am sure there are a few more flaws.

Ahhh that was much better. Sakurai proved to not be such a whiny cunty bitch all the time, and that she's actually really sincere. Very tense episode, and I'm really glad that I didn't drop it after the first episode.

This anime series is a bit different from what I expected, not that there would not be the fanservice, but at least a bit more of a background SOL rail, it would be to my liking, however in this episode did not see much, indeed the best parts of the girls who make up the cast, they did their beautiful figure! LOL
Drawings and animations a little ugly, very best designs on the environments shown.
Not bad Opening and ending.
