OMG plot

Spoiler for Episode 7:

From what I've seen around the show isn't that popular though. It's too ridiculous for a lot of people and a lot of other people think the show is sexist.

Anyway it does seem like half the show was devoted to introductions now though.

Episode 9 was hilarious.

Spoiler for Episode 9:

I was surprised ANN gave a fairly good review of this. Even if it was classified as flushable, at least the reviewer did say it's a good guity pleasure. I find this quite a good guilty pleasure.

yeah it really is a guilty pleasure. The show really is terrible, but something about it...I went into this show hoping for something akin to the wallflower or ouran but left disappointed along with secret nights where I double check my apartment for my roomie as well as lock my door securly in case he catches me watching it....

Okay, so this became another Final Fantasy: Unlimited, with the plot coming into play far too late into the series for most to wait for. And Akari was so underused in episodes not centred around her and Roppongi (about all except 3 or 4 eps) that it's hard to feel anything about her decision.

Though that the conductor can walk through walls and freely play with everyone on the Miracle Train's minds could also have been explored (such as a passenger having their mind erased after sneaking into the conductor's room and messing with the diagrams or something).

I still say that they could have condensed the intro episodes into two episodes and done more with Akari.

It's a guilty pleasure series, but it would have been nice if it had been developed more (The conductor, diagrams, Akari and Tokugawa).

Ash Falls Town Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Adelaide Age: 36	OMG plot Spoiler for Episode 7: This week the passenger was only at the start of the episode. And she was an old lady. It was nice seeing them help out an old lady though. When I first heard about the show I assumed it would be all high school age students but only half of the girls where in secondary education. With one being in university. The rest of the episode was devoted to mysterious happenings. Including an under construction station that Roppongi recognises. I found the episode quite funny. I think the style of humour suits me well. It was also nice to see more Akari and Tsukishima was good this episode. Sometimes he can just sort of be there and seem like Roppongi II. Roppongi really is a very serious character so it probably was good that he was mainly doing serious things. Ryogoku reminded me of Alfred Visconti in this episode more than he ever has before though (I didn't know before today that the character designer also did Marginal Prince. Fortunately none of the stations have really long hair). Shiodome really needs a boy/girlfriend, he's very clingy. Edit: Forgot this but Roppongi x Akari is kind of creepy. I hope they don't expand on that. From what I've seen around the show isn't that popular though. It's too ridiculous for a lot of people and a lot of other people think the show is sexist.

musume_no_hoshi ~Eternal Bakaness~ Join Date: May 2006 Location: Cheesecake wonderland	Episode 9 was hilarious. Spoiler for Episode 9: I haven't had such a goog laugh for a while. They even made the Mary sue this episode into Gary Sue~ It's just Otomen+Miracle Train. A man liking cute things, but worried about his girlfriend not liking his hobby. I was surprised ANN gave a fairly good review of this. Even if it was classified as flushable, at least the reviewer did say it's a good guity pleasure. I find this quite a good guilty pleasure. __________________
