| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, the crew makes it out of that one. This little mini arc has a weird feeling to it tbh. They are trying to do their job and survive at the same time. Not surprising that Aoi and Takayama got a few more close moments on board that train. They made quite a lot of daring moves this episode on that train as well. That took some guts. Otherwise, fairly predictable episode. Aoi, you should give him a reward |
 |
| That ride was pretty intense, omega good job making it on time though. He had to add "a little bit" when he complimented Aoi *sigh. |
| They managed to get to where they were heading despite many different obstacles on their way there. This episode was okay. |
 |
| They were drifting that train like a boss. xD Also, Aoi is life! Aoi is Love! <3 |
| And here I always thought train rides were boring :P That big dude trying to stop a train, is he for real? O.O |

I'm tired of seeing Takayama getting all the spotlights lately. At least, focusing on Mari would be fun to watch. No $hit! Bro, can't get an ounce of appreciation to save his life. First he busts up his foot, gets his head bashed in, had the engine explode on him, and finally, tried to the stop the train Indiana Jones style, only to have part of it fall on him. After all that not one damn word of concern from the girls!!! >:( Oh, Takayama got dirt on him so lets all coddle up on him >:( MC has no redeeming qualities whatsoever! What the hell do they see in him!? "B-b-b-but he's so nice!" BLEH! Incompetent is more like it. The instruction should've flunked his useless ass. If it wasn't for Haruka, they wouldn't even have made it. Of course they owe Iwaizumi their lives, so he should get to cop a feel or something. Gave it 5, would've been a 8, if I wasn't so pissed off that how they treated Iwaizumi the whole time. /soapbox /rage #uslessanimeMCs |

Yeah, I knew what I was getting myself into I started to watch this. |
| Aoi is still the best!!! most intense show about trains and asses I've EVER seen!!! XD another great episode ^_^ |
 |
| You know what, they should do a Gonou-centric episode. I mean every girl seems like they have the hots for Takayama anyway and even if she's not going to be added in Takayama's harem, why not feature the hot glasses boss-woman? |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| That scene when Mari says Noa is her rival!! They sure are building up the relationship between Takayama x Sakurai and Takayama x Koumi, but dang, I'm hoping for more Mari x Takayama arcs!! ... and more praises for Iwaizumi! Lol! #TeamMari |

| Iwaizumi did most of the work and he got nothing out of it what the hell!! |

| This episode felt so long. But glad to see they finished all of those hardships. |

| Seems Sakurai and Takayama are finally starting to notice each other the main question remains will they become a couple before the ending of this anime or will we have another open ending. The seen with the small locomotive was dragged out to much and the ending was already clear. Still the pretty much wrecked the small locomotive in the process. |

 |
| omgomg aoi is so cute... however too much enecessary rubbing in the train :/ whatever i just hope takayama choses aoi from his harem |
 |
| Great railway action, organs in the container are shaken into pulp by now Facepalm for the Iwaizumi brake |
| I can't stand sakurai...I hope this really is a harem and not only she get all the focus... |
 |
| Iwaizumi gets hurt and crap, and they don't even look at his foot? Like he gets absolutely no praise. Takayama doesn't even really do anything, if anything, the other three members do it for him. Sakurai better end up with Takayama. Thought Koumi would look pissed when he practically hugged Sakurai. |
 |
| I felt it lacked fanservice this episode again, though Takayama always be stuck in girls, the fanservice could be bigger, I hope that next turn to be the Oppai Wars! as always .. |
  |
| who did the preview for the next episode? |
| *sighs* Its canon. Okay. Tho Iwaizumi deserves the harem more than Takayama. Who doesn't want a man who has six pack abs but loves eating and never gets fat? |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| At one point it just seemed like Sakurai just walked out of the train for no apparent reason, plot dictated Takayama do a near impossible grab to save her though! Iwaizumi must hit those protein supplements hard, he not only attempted to stop a train by pulling it but ripped off part of the locamotive in the process, too bad he didn't get any acknowledgment and easily went back to his food obsessed ways after it all! |
 |
| This episode was rather well. I enjoyed almost all of it. It's great that the whole mission was a complete success. Iwaizumi should be commended for his great cooperation. |
| Is anyone going to point out that he kicked the wall when the train was going super fast, not only that he jumped off a speeding train, slowed it down with his feet and proceed to rip the back off like it was a bit of paper.... pretty sure this guy is in the wrong anime and should of been in a battle shounen |
 Whats my age again? WHERE IS MY ASIAN FRIEND!!!!!!! |
| Did Iwaizumi broke the law of physics, or he just disproven Newton, Where did these Chuck Norris feats of amazingness skills come from? He's a real bro Aside from that, is that Sakurai romance I smell? I find her the most attractive. Good enjoyable episode. |
 |
| I wonder if they have a good pay when they risk their lives XD |
| I call BULLSHI....... you know what, I don't care anymore. Iwaizumi just became Chuck Norris, Takayama is basically the anime version of Hugh Hefner. That mini-train is basically the DeLorian from Back to the Future (how the hell does that thing not fall apart during the entire train ride ONLY to have it's brake pulled off by Iwaizumi at the end???? Seriously, the only thing missing from this anime is a 60 foot T-Rex running around and singing the Barney song. Koumi had an actual back story for this arc, I'm surprised! Next episode of the X-Files please! |

Next episode of the X-Files please! I'm calling it: Iwaizumi's the illegitimate son of Chuck Norris and Tsujimoto Natsumi. But yeah, this episode required so much suspension of disbelief that my acrophobia started kicking in, and it really felt like it was in the wrong series. Hopefully they've gotten that completely out of their system now. |
| Takayama is still a scrub Other characters are the redeeming factors for this animu |
 |
| So many moments with TakayamaxAoi! *.* Looks like in episode there will be another moment with them! YEAH! <3 |
| That foot brake, LOL. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| So what happened? The past two or three episodes actually made this feel like a decent show. Aoi was annoying within the bounds of reason, there was a greater ratio of action and plot development to fanservice, and Iwaizumi was actually relevant and got screentime. Most importantly, the show was actually about trains for a change! If the previous six or seven episodes had been like this arc I might actually like this show overall. Hell, I might actually have liked Sakurai. My only complaint with this arc is that it seems to have made it clear that basically every girl in the show likes Takayama. Jmac said: MC has no redeeming qualities whatsoever! What the hell do they see in him!? "B-b-b-but he's so nice!" BLEH! Incompetent is more like it. The instruction should've flunked his useless ass. If it wasn't for Haruka, they wouldn't even have made it. Not this shit again. Go back and re-watch episode five. If you still don't think Takayama has any redeeming qualities other than "being nice" then keep watching it until you understand. |
 |
| This show is actually pretty boring when it's just about trains. Needs more fanservice. |
| a bit too much cringe this ep |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Let's face it,iwaizumi should've been the MC, show would've been 100000000000% better than beta-fag takayama |
| Just an anime fan, doing what an anime fan does |
| The plot is still strong in this one, and they broke the law of physics a few time but well its anime. At least the whole episode was on a train, so still its good. |
 |
| Again, the way Rail Wars should've been this entire time. I'm probably one of the few that welcomes the over-the-top, physic defying action. Iwasaki is in the wrong anime. Don't you have a battle Shonen you need to be in? 4/5 |

Notchrishansen said: I'm with you on this one!I'm probably one of the few that welcomes the over-the-top, physic defying action. Man, Iwaizumi is a BEAST. Didn't expect a Iwaizumi Brake, only him could pull this off. Oh, and nice SakuraixTakayama moments there, but Iwaizumi was the highlight, no doubt about that. |
| Iwaizumi went Hercules mode lol. He got a full body workout with that mission. Organ delivered successfully, with Haruka and Takayama jumping off together. 17:30 minute mark, great scene xD What's with Aoi jumping off the train and landing on her feet without falling back. |
 |
| Ohh, finally a really enjoyable episode :) 1lau said: Great railway action, organs in the container are shaken into pulp by now yeah, actually.. |
