Oh ffs, that idol is all over Takayama. Surprisingly there is actually some train mechanics.

Still very meh episode. The only parts I kinda liked is that they are working together rather than goofing around. Heh, they also really made it look like Aoi was struggling there.

Wasn't happy with this episode sorta? Only thing I don't understand is what in the heck happened to the whole Haruka crying because Takaya went to the church not knowing who was there and it ended up being Aoi in the end of episode 7? I was hoping for some conflict but instead they just moved on to a random accident. Hopefully when that accident is done with they can talk about what happened at the church.

So did they just skip the whole drama at the church part or what? Well either way I guess this episode was decent and we'll see what surprises lay ahead on the old track.

Iwaizumi still being gutted on lines. This plot is also being extremely non-sequitur.

This anime is being entertaining in the oddest way. It was cool to see some actual train action though.

Shit just got serious and Naoto is in a tight spot surrounded by all of the girls.

I guess Naoto and his team will have to help that woman deliver the organ for the transplant on time by driving a train.

Naoto just got a boob slap to the face XD.

Now that was some intense driving action this episode.

More boobs to the face, eh Naoto?

Not a very good episode IMO. I didn't mind the plot, trying to deliver organs or whatever, and i liked the teamwork to get the job done, but the episode just came across as being more hokey than usual. And hey, i don't mind some hokiness, so if I felt there was too much, then there must really be a lot.

Sakurai's noises of exertion as she was balancing that train car on the curves was pretty hilarious though. I could just see the seiyuus in the studios having a blast with that.



The expressions on Sakurai and Koumi's faces when Noa made that flirty comment about saluting was pretty priceless too.

The ending was stupid though.

Noa is very aggressive, ay? That sharp, "don't mess with me, b*tch" eye to Koumi and Koumi has been "tamed"! Dayum! Too bad her screen time got cut short. Disappointed that best girl, Mari also had a short screen time :(

I bet Takayama was damn happy when Koumi's breasts were pressing against his face. LOL!

Delivering an organ, well that's interesting. Going through an old rail full of roots sure is hard. And finnaly Shou appears again, I missed him, in in recent episodes he wasn't that important.

Nice cliffhanger there. Everyone falls on Takayama, 'accidentally'. There's some train stuff again. Their strategy in driving it was very unique. Tilting sideways which surprisingly worked.

Okay i need to say one of the best episode right now, had some cool Train action and i had fun watching it.

But im a little bit sad about the begining. Episode 7 ended with a cliffhanger about the harem war and then after 2 minutes its over... Dont see the meaning behind seeting up a meeting with his Harem when they dont even make a story about it 0o

Ok, 1st Nana set Takayama up for a harem show down and now this anime all of the sudden shifted gears back to some train action just like that?????SHIT!

You know for someone to transport an organ, they should've gone by motorcycle since it can go cross country or weave in and out of traffic very easily, for the guys to use some run down rail cart is like something stupid being made fantastic. Then again that lady who is transporting alive organ could have just called her office to ask the JSDF to lend her an helicopter.

Well at least Iwaizumi actually did something useful in this episode and became surprisingly important to the plot rather than being reduced to a mere food addict as he was last episode. Takayama finally gets to drive a real train although it really seems more like a massive bike with an electric motor. That transplant agency woman sure has a lot of faith in the train system, surely an air ambulance would have been the best call? Well at least it gave the crew something meaningful to do.

Ditto.

I feel infuriated.
The feeling of uniterest brought me to drop this. They just exaggerate their emotions in any single way. It's so common with all the generic ecchi shows. Stupid MC should go shag a train if he freaking loves them so much.

"Let's put FOUR people in mortal danger to deliver organs for one person!" Not that it's not admirable, but still...

"I know we have all these modern train engines laying around, but let's put all the inexperienced kids in a pedal powered car with brakes that may or may not work and shove them down a steep hill!"

Also, damn. If leaning out the car is enough to keep you from flipping, you're cutting it awfully close.

This show is SO hammy. I want to see a live action show where everyone acts as dramatically as they do here, because that would be hilarious. Well, for one episode at least.

The weather's probably too bad for air transport. Winds even a couple hundred feet off the ground can be much worse than at the ground.

I just want to know what's up with the church thing which I think...I hope will be explained in the next episode post drama.

And to be fair anime's tend to have some sort of overacting of various degrees. And there is no need for a live action, if you want live overacting you should be able to find a Jdrama to fit that, lol.

If you're still watching this show 8 episodes in and you're STILL complaining about the fanservice, you are an idiot. It's never even tried to hide the fact that fanservice is a big part of its appeal.

As inclined as I am to hate Sakurai, she actually kinda redeemed herself a bit in this episode. The team works together well after all. Haruka is still Best Girl, she's a fucking genius memorizing the operations manual in almost no time at all.

It was interesting to see the entire harem gathered in one place. In a church no less. Then the actual plot (as opposed to the PLOT) happens and we get a breakneck race downhill to deliver some organs to be transplanted. Do helicopters not exist in this world? Short-range aircraft? Subways?

Anyhow, a good episode. Really glad I gave this show a try.

I don't understand all the negativity surrounding this series. It might not be the most coherent series I've seen but at least it tries to introduce unpredictable trials for the cast. The physics is way off though. Considering how many tons an iron trolley weights, the magnitude of centripetal force needed to keep the trolley on track at that speed could hardly be leveled by the efforts of a monkey and some scrawny girl. But hey, ignorance is bliss and pew pew

Best ep IMO. Haruka had that sec of yandere. Honestly, why send four kids, when you have this adults? Iwazumi x Sakurai could possibly be cute although that will probably never happen. Would be great if it did, and Takayama was jealous. Sakurai is best girl still. Could actually do something useful. I have a feeling Haruka is into trains because Takayama. Like "That one boy who was nice to me when I was younger was into trains...maybe I should make that my job." I feel like she's always on top of Takayama, almost deliberately. She could've moved faster, but she let him stay squished in her boobs. Whatever. There's no logic in this anime.

meh.. Takayama is NOT fit to be the captain. He's way too indecisive and unassertive. Even during the emergency when they are short on time he was still dilly-dallying and has to had someone else make the decisions for him.

During the train ride he was also really annoying with his constant "we're not gonna make it!" I mean WTF? aren't leaders supposed to be calm and assess the situation with a cool head? in the end it was Sakurai who, again, made the brave and correct decision.

Then he had the gall to call Sakurai an idiot.

Basically this^

You do not demotivate your fellow comrades in the middle of an important mission.
That said, I think the putting weight on either side of the train thing was beyond contrived. Shit like that is impossible to do, even a human body's weight has it's limits when it comes to stopping a train from derailing. None of the mechanics of this episode really made much sense.

Admittedly I've given up on rationality for this show. It doesn't make sense how Haruka was able to recite the entire rail line which she hadn't had prior knowledge of, nor did it make sense that Sakurai and the food dude were running around at the station carrying people without putting on raincoats themselves. And why smartass adult would push a working mini-train out onto the tracks before telling them that the battery needs to be replaced before they can use it? Don't you do that shit BEFORE you push the train out? Lame shit like this really gets on my nerves.

That said, the fanservice was even worse. What the hell was with Haruka suffocating Takeyama with those pillows of hers? HE's sitting on a bike contraption, how the hell would he be thrown against the side of the train like that? The bike would have broke and been twisted up if that had happened, either that or their clothes would have been ripped.

I'm pretty much done with taking this anime seriously, but for gods sake at least make it believable... I'm just in it for the harem now. Not even the info dump about the trains is getting through to me anymore, specially when they follow it up with Sakurai ripping up her dress for the fans.

Best episode yet, well joint with the beach episode. Any drama was kinda swept aside, leave it for another time, at least Noa knows that Takayama wants to be a train driver so shes caught up a bit with the other girls and Iwaizumi. The train action was just superb, seriously 110% fantastic. That Sakurai and Iwaizumi strength! It's following on into the next episode which is great as well, makes a change from the relatively episodic nature. 11/10 episode, actually cannot fault in any area.

NOO!! Not enough logic to question in this episode!

Okay, it's just those two things...

1- The harem drama. We ended last week with a cliffhanger and we were expecting a conflict between. This episode starts like nothing happened. So no interrogation with Takayama? No attempts to explain what's going on? That was weak.

2- An organ needs to delivered. In other words it's an emergency... and the best option they have is a train cart that moves by the power of bicycles?!! Don't they have "real" emergency carts for situations like these?!!
