this is one anime which is not the usual genre i watch, but watching this made me more interested in the Railways although i was always scared of them. And its my dream to travel in JNR when i visit JAPAN in future. the characters are really good but the MC Naoto could have been more sharper rather than being a wimp. i think this anime is under rated as i recently came to knw about it. in the first half its about how he tries to get through the training session and get along with Sakurai which could have been made shorter and we couldhave got more adventures especially the Bullet train was not shown.
