main cast
* Based on a seinen manga by Kikuchi Naoe and Yokomi Hirohiko, serialised in Ikki.
A manga artist is asked by her boss to accompany him and a travel-writer on various train trips around Japan and draw a manga about it.
The travel-writer turns out to be a super train-otaku who has vast knowledge of the train network, but also micro-manages all their trips, planning every detail down to the second. He cares mostly about following the schedule and successfully achieving his planned goals, e.g. visiting all stations on a line in an unusual order to accommodate infrequent trains. The mangaka does not really care about trains; she is cynical, sarcastic, and rather lazy. She mainly just looks forward to the next eki-ben. This difference in personality and interests inevitably lead to bizarre conflicts.

Note: The anime is actually completely non-fictional — the creator really did go on all these trips, and the manga simply records what happened, thus presenting various out of the way and interesting Japanese train lines and stations.

Tetsuko no Tabi production value is rather low, story quite simplistic, but don't be fooled, what it portrays, railfans, does exist all around the world. There's no story, just travels and it must be watched with this mindset. For railfans, visuals and sounds are done with lots of care when depicting trains, stations and vista. On that respect, there's no place for improvisation. To watch if you want to see a neglected side of real-life Japan.

I've only seen 2 episodes since Frostii started to sub it, but I've really enjoyed both of them. I can only describe it as a really fun show to watch... you laugh, you take in the knowledge of the Japanese rail system, and enjoy each of the characters and how they work together.
