Interesting, I really enjoyed it, Makes me wonder if this was the first title to have animated and real life scenes to it in one. Hmm...

This is pretty cool. I like how it explores the many passengers of the train. Like a set of short stories.

It was slightly below average. The live action part wasn't that interesting, probably because it was too long. And the story on the train was too repetetive and not that interesting.

Why is everyone such a jerk in this short? I liked the non-animation part better the the animated one.

Totally agree with the poster above that the live-action was better than the animated parts. x_x The littering scenes kind of bothered me. However, I enjoyed the scenes between the family and how they lived back then. I wonder what happened to them a little after the movie was made.

When I see old movies, I keep thinking about those people who appear, who are already dead, even the little boy.

I thought at first this was just a real kids drama, but things got interesting when Taro started dreaming!

This anime just showed how sometimes people behave like animals, especially men in situations. Those hippos were my favorite though.

Although it had an animation I loved it because it made me laugh hard. 7/10.

(Second part translated)



The first part was sweet, just a kid playing with his little train arround his family.

While the second part (the animation) is a dream that take place in the boy's train, were every animals are just jerks, what a contrast between each parts.

6/10

Why were there so many dickheads on the train? Oh right, public transport, that's why.

This feels like a nice time capsule. I kind of wonder what happened to the kids of this anime.

This was quit cute. Sure at begging it's a bit confusing how this is anime but then you get your answer.
