Based on the initial information and just what your mind would come up with for it, you wouldn’t think that a series called Rail Wars would have a lot in the way of fanservice. But with the first episode images released so far and now this magazine spread that puts the girls in swimsuits, well, it looks like we might have a decent bit of fun in the sun with the show.
The series will make its debut on July 3rd, 2014 and that news comes with a few images from the opening episode below. Based on the light novels by Takumi Toyoday’s Rail Wars! Japanese Nation Railways Security Force, the series has eight volumes released since beginning in 2012. The anime adaptation has set Yoshifumi Sueda to direct the series based on scripts by Masashi Suzuki at animation studio Passione. Makoto Uno will be handling the character designs but also serving as chief storyboard director. This is in conjunction with Sayaka Iso who is handling sub-character design.
Plot concept: The “dream railway paradise entertainment” story is set in a parallel world where Japan did not privatize its national railways. Naohito Takayama is an ordinary high school boy who dreams of a comfortable future working for the top-rated Japanese National Railways. He is assigned as a trainee in the Railways Security Force full of odd characters such as Sakurai, a troublemaker who hates men. On top of that, an extremist group called “RJ” plots to privatize the Japanese National Railways.
