So I guess that means in the Novel they were all had guns then?
Kind of a relief, it seemed pretty odd that they had gun training just to not get one when they could actually use it.

Sadly, that's the problem with trying to mix "realism" with over-the-top shonen antics. It also doesn't help that they're just phoning in train talk during these situations (like the exposition on the braking systems).

I do have to agree on Aoi just being thick-headed here. She knows she has a hurt leg, but chooses to stay behind anyway rather than leave, then turns around and calls Naoto the idiot for not wanting to ditch her?

I dislike that they try to shoehorn in all these unnecessary bits of information to make the show seem within the space of possibility. Ironically, it actually detracts and just leaves them unaware of how human beings actually communicate. These people have been in training and have wanted to participate in the railway work force, but they know next to nothing about this stuff? Except for the one guy who's knowledgeable about nearly everything? I say nearly because half the time, there's this little tidbit that's super important which he forgets until it becomes necessary or someone else reminds him. For being super into their line of work, these people know very little about even some basic things, it seems.

This is a compilation of many absurdities people have gripes with in the Anime. Oh, it also comes with an awesome English voice-over.

LOL. Finally Gigguk posts again.

So... what was the point of showing Iida getting in a helicopter again? I expected that to be how they'd be saved, but nope. Seems like it was completely worthless.

I also like how Sakurai said she'd shoot to kill, but then decides to shoot a flare stack instead when it seemed she had a perfectly clear shot at the guy anywhere above the pecs.

Lida in helicopter to go pick up the Prince.

There's something seductive about Lida.

Our main girls Aoi and Haruka are great, but Lida is creeping in on these two, IMO.

It's why, despite not really being involved in much, Nana is one of my favorites.

Haruka and Aoi are quite obvious about their crushes, with Haruka more quiet and nervous and Aoi a typical tsundere, but Nana is much more subtle. Though I do also like Noa for being much more open and forward with her crush and why I wish we had a lot more of her.

This show is a trainwreck.

To charge him up a narrow walkway on the side of a moving train. How did he not hit her?

Saw this series recently, dont know anything about it so what i want to know is, what are the mc's skills and abilities so far?

GDB · 2014-09-15, 20:58

He's a train otaku who can rally people around him.

This isn't a supernatural series or anything.

Being the MC and being in love with trains?

coded321 · 2014-09-15, 21:07

^So basically the typical, nearly useless, harem mc?

At least Rail Wars, unlike Aldnoah Zero, heeds this important safety tip.

Spoiler for Nobody's gonna get this joke...:

Edit: I stand corrected. Someone pointed out that Aldnoah Zero DID "mount a scratch princess" -- in episode 1.
