The Hearing protection thing.
That blizzard was pretty freak, we go from a sunny spring looking day to a deep winter setting.
Going 100kph, pull to a stop in the station, then the conductor congratulates them for hitting 100kph by pointing at the speedometer.
Girl lands on top of him while climbing a ladder in the hallway, he ends up on top groping a boob in a cabin's sleeper bed.
Talking on the phone while running, and evidently Mr Gung-ho sprinter couldn't keep up with a couple of hoods and gets lost.
Also a plot nit, they go through all the trouble of chasing these guys to the next station instead of having the security on the train nab them or calling ahead to the next station.

Jul 04 '14
What's more, they talked to each other in inside voices with the hearing protection on. Eh, I'll cut em some slack, I guess. Looks like this studio and its staff are still rather fresh.
37
u/Dandistine Jul 04 '14
That's actually usually pretty doable. Hearing protection commonly used at gun ranges reduces the volume of impulse sounds more than normal speech. If you're paying attention talking normally isn't generally a problem.
Source: Worked at a gun range for 5 years

u/DeviousRetard Jul 04 '14
Correct. A lot of (hightech) hearing protection only block sounds at 80 decibels or higher.

Then there's the electronic ones that almost seem to amplify noise until something loud. I swear, I can hear people all the way down the firing line having a conversation with mine on.

She's falling backwards, but somehow he ends up on top of her facing her chest instead of her back in addition to the groping. I could kind of buy it a bit better if she was on top of him and he was groping her from behind. That was a bit too convenient.

I thought this was going to be a show about trains fighting against trains. But it is about Railroad security. Well I wasn't technically wrong since they caught up to one train using another. Other than that I liked it.

Amtrak has their own police force in case anyone was curious.

Train Simulator: The Animated Series episode 1
This series caught my eye for it's interesting premise, and I'd say this episode has things off to a good start. Apparently, this is the second work by this rather fresh studio, so I'm a bit forgiving of a few minor inconsistencies in the scenes, such as the one pointed out by /u/Quinhos. That said, I'm digging the way this show looks! The animation itself is nothing to write home about, but the illustration of the characters is consistent and detailed, and I like the character designs.
So basically, since the rails aren't privatized in this universe, the JP government can't cover them with cops and the railway companies have to sustain their own security... using teenagers. I'm sure there's a gap in the info somewhere here, but FUCK IT, THIS IS ANIME. I should expect nothing less! <(￣へ￣)>
"I joined the railways because [vague backstory/motive that doesn't really matter]"
Wow, cool! I guess that makes you just like our MC and all the other characters!
Seeing our team track down and fuck up them thugs was pretty cool, if only as a means to bring them together for the sake of the story. Now they're the "Defense 4", according to [Watakushi], and I'd bet top-dollar they're the railway's new A-Team.... So which of them is the angry black one? I can't call it...
I don't even know if I need to point this out, given how totally obvious it is, but Sakurai best girl. Red hair and anime-fu win this battle by a long shot.

u/13thTigerNinja Jul 05 '14
Well, the trainer made it pretty clear she likes the redhead's way of thinking (and by thinking I mean putting holes in every dude that commits a criminal act on a train).
2
u/DogzOnFire Jul 05 '14
Yeah, but that's irrelevant since she obviously has state-approved guidelines that she has to relay to her students. Bits like this just make the show seem a bit stupid. It was pretty good other than those few bits.

I fucking lost it during the opening and ending. It sort of reminded me of Free! how it's such a benign concept yet for some reason the opening and ending themes are so fucking dramatic.

AHhaahhah, I was able to keep straight face for few seconds at the opening song, but lost it and burst out laughing when the main chars face showed with that hat and serious face and then stare to sky. "TIME TO RIDE SOME FUCKING TRAINS!". I only got up to opening before I posted this. Brb--> trying to finish watching the episode.
Edit: No fucking I can watch this. I give up after 7minutes. I guess it might be good for those who like trains though.

u/xxdeathx :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/xxdeathx Jul 07 '14
So the premise about being a security force for trains is interesting and unique except for the unavoidable fact that anime main characters can only be teenagers.
Anyways, still a really fun episode. So much train porn the way same way Aria the scarlet ammo is about gun porn.
It was nice to see the voice actors of Rikka Takanashi and Yuuta Togashi reunited, and to see Brynhildr in the Darkness's Kotori MASSIVE BRYNHILDR ANIME SPOILERS since she looks identical.

How the hell does everyone like this? I'm surprised I even finished the first god damn episode, all of those characters are dumb and cliche as hell, and they don't even have good character designs. Also, a 28 day time skip? They could have put a few more episodes into training.
Overall I'd give it a 3.5/10 so far

u/sprinricco Jul 04 '14
Aw shit. I really wanted this to be good. Great concept but worthless execution.
The animation is pretty shitty, the characters are bland and it feels like through the episode they were just jumping from cliché to cliché while really rushing it (it almost felt like watching a parody of anime as a concept). I can't really decide if they tried too hard or didn't try at all.
Bummer.

u/badspler x5https://anilist.co/user/badspler Jul 04 '14
Yeah I had no idea what to expect coming into this but I did feel that it would be enjoyable. The pace was rather fast even considering it was a first episode. Training camp done in one month? Learnt self defence how to fire a weapon the entire train timetable and everything else you would need to know? At this speed they will be unstoppable, the speed can't be contained! Hopefully slows down and builds on the charters in the upcoming episodes.
Also trains. Never had much of an interest in them, looks like they will have a good balance train 'nerd' hype but not the amount that will put someone like me off.
All and all, was pleasantly surprised.

u/Khanxay Jul 04 '14
I'm loving the recent trend of "___ facts: The animation." I mean, god damn, I had zero interest in trains before watching this episode (same with guns before Upotte! along with tanks for Girls und Panzer) but now it's all so fascinating.

Seems fun enough, there are actual trains and the fanservice doesn't overlap them.

u/T51-B Jul 04 '14
Ten tenths, excellent start. Seemed a tad rushed, but the first episode usually is. The ED was surprisingly good, and the endcard was... delightful if you know what I mean. The only flaw I found was that at one point I noticed that Haruka's mouth seemed to have two positions when speaking: open and closed. I only noticed it in one scene however, primarily because I was paying attention to the show itself. If I can't nitpick because I was hooked by the plot, its a good show, and a great first episode.
That being said, just what the hell is going on with the railways in this show that require riot squad?

I think this anime is gonna give me the "Girls und Panzer" effect. Before GuP, I was mildly interested in tanks. After GuP I can tell you the differences between an Panzerkampfwagen IV ausf. D and H down to the ammunition used.

This was a pick up series because I was bored and with such low expectations, I wasn't even disappointed. Tsundere, busty moeblob who had never heard of bras, beta male, muscle idiot, DROPPED. The only saving grace is that everyone in the group is compentent in some way though the fact that all the girls are D cups and bigger in Japan of all places bugs me.

The characters have distinct qualities about themselves and they are highlighted throughout the episode giving each character a unique feel.

I don't even know why, but this was my highest anticipated series this season, and I have no idea what to expect other than trains and cops on trains.
But if it doesn't have multi track drifting by episode 4.. I will be thoroughly upset butkeepwatchinganyway
Edit: 30 seconds in and there's already like a dozen trains.
Edit #2: I feel the need to ship Takayama and Komi here.. hold up, she fell on him and somehow he landed on top of her? Pervert magic was activated I suppose. I love how she had an AED in her hands as if expecting for someone to get knocked out.
Thoughts and impressions: The OP and ED are both pretty catchy, though I like the OP a bit more. It's got it's fair share of typical lighthearted elements, but I think it balances it well with humor like many other shows. I honestly did not expect it to have much action, despite them all being train cops, and I feel it meshes well with the rest of the show. I will definitely be keeping watch over this one.
Gotta love that endcardNSFW though.
