Meh, the episode felt slow. It felt like they back stepped a bit and is going with more training. The fan service doesn't stop but is it just me or did Takayama imagine that was Aoi for a moment when he passed out?

Oh boy.

Just watched the RAW and it really looks like they slowed down.
Are they aiming to do a plot twist or something like that?
Im not sure if he imagined Aoi, but it's a possibilty.

Im not sure how they want to end this anime, but im somehow expecting Takayama x Aoi couple.

This was a great episode. He even admitted he had a harem. Also I don't mind it going slower than the previous episodes because the past episodes felt like they were just not linking up to the next one as much so it felt like it was telling some sort of new adventure or something.

WOW...This MC is so refreshing...he is so different from other Harem protagonists...Just look how gravity effects Sakurai's PLOTS right in front of you,not water...He seriously feels sexual pleasure from trains...

And they draw the "other guy" worse every episode...i think after 2-3 more episodes he will vanish...

This made me laugh, but true, I felt that he was a little different on this episode.

As for the episode:

TAKAYAMA YOU LUCKY BASTARD, YOU CONFIRMED YOUR HAREM AND THEY DON'T MIND IT. GIVE SOME TO IWAIZUMI, DAMMIT

Anyways, I wish she would call Haruka by her first name. No, I think he is aiming for the Harem End so "Harem Wars" is necessary now.
The world shall know the truth soon.

I lol'd when Koumi swiftly moved her chair closer to Takayama when Mari showed up at their table. hahaha.

tbh, I'm starting to hate tsundere Aoi as the episodes progress. Like in this episode, she practically ruined Takayama's train simulation. Instead of trying to get good points as being a train driver, he looks unfit to be one after that dangerous stunt.

I was digging that Mari-Takayama moment playing cards. They look good together. They give off a "i'm dating my bestfriend" vibe. I had a feeling Noa would suddenly appear somewhere in that chapel.

Yep, this is definitely a harem.

Koumi, Aoi, Noa, and Sasshou. All four girls confirm to like him. He should just give up the train route and go aim for the harem route. Marry all the girls in the chapel already!

I wonder why the chapel? Could it be Lida's scheme to make Takayama marry all girls and make a harem end? lol

I think instead of "driver" they should have used the term "conductor" as they're normally called. Because drivers typically control everything on their own, while conductors only signals others on what they should do, for older trains at least. It's always easy to blame a "driver", but it's not always the conductor's fault if someone else is controlling the speed, especially if there's miscommunication. Sakurai should have listened to reason.

Miscommunication is rampant everywhere. What's Iida-san's intentions, I wonder? Koumi at least should have known already about the phone call with Takayama meeting someone, since she was there with him when he received it. These girls are so quick to jump to conclusions and act on their emotions. It's no wonder Takayama was made the leader, because although not the best out there, he's the most suitable person of the bunch. Even at the exercise, what was he supposed to do? He did what he thought was best, even if it came at a price. It's either brake and derail, or crash and derail. At least the former only damages the train they're on, and not the (hypothetical) train in front of them as well. And going to the back of the train would have been no good, since there wasn't enough time.

Edit:
Dat end card.

So let me get this straight, Takayama got the order to go pick up someone (Noa) at the church, on the way there he gets a text from Aoi saying she's at the station. So, not knowing exactly where the others went, he tells her to meet him at the church? Then Koumi arrives and the gates of hell are opened. Nice. By the end of that episode, Takayama should just throw his hands in the air and back on out of that church, nice and slow. Then run. Poor guy doesn't deserve that grief, he just wants to drive trains dammit.

Edited for spelling.

I like how Takayama acknowledges he has a harem, lol. It also looks like Iida totally set him up for that confrontation too, I wonder what she's planning. The preview looks like they might take on that 66.7% hill.

I don't know who's gonna be with Takayama, but surely i hope it won't Sakurai. For now i like this anime, but if ended with Sakurai surely i'll hate this anime

Takayama best with Kyoumi. From the sneak peek episode 7, i did hope that episode 7 will focus on Takayama x Kyoumi only, instead there's also Sakurai. Are you kidding me !!!!
Anyway, i'll wait for it, if Takayama x Sakurai appear again, i'll discard this anime.

Mari was so sweet and thoughtful giving Takayama a special Katsu curry
The backstory of wanting to be a train diver was nice

So much about the railway this time it was great viewing the Usui pass

Sadly the other guy was only thinking about food the entire training and that harem end was just a facepalm
I was hoping it would have been the traindriver that saved the day

Woah Iwaizumi was in this episode. I am surprised.

And I was ACTUALLY ENJOYING THIS EPISODE until they pulled the "every girl misunderstands Takayama even though no one bothered to tell him what was going on" card. I hate that card.

Seriously though, someone take Iwaizumi off the Main Characters list.

Takayama's parents must be the worst parent in the world. Who the hell let a kid climbed a snowy mountain on a remote location on his own?

What's up with Aoi keep pushing the train even when she should have known that it'd lead to accident? if she did that to spite Takayama then she's not cut out to work near trains at all, whether as a driver or as a security force.

Just change the title to Oppai Wars already.
