Sharp-eyed Internet users deduced the train to be running on the Ishiyama Sakamoto Line in Biwa Prefecture, and had the following reactions.
The most delusional comments of all, though, were the several that echoed this gentleman’s sentiment.

Sigh. Yet another reminder that there are people who lust after these cutesy, underaged looking characters. Whatever it is that blurs the line between "young and cute" and "of age and appealing" is something that I just don't have. Like the Hatsune Miku Toyotas, this is a cool enough idea (better than any US train "wraps" that I've seen) but not one that I'd want to ride in. |

Wish there were anime covered vehicles in England. .

While I do agree with you, part of the blame has to go to the designers, I mean Nibutani is literally on her back with her legs spread. |

Ah, but if you ride the train you can't see it. |

The insides could be decorated also, like this Evangelion train: http://www.madman.com.au/fanzone/display/73342.img |

Anyone who has explored the Kanto area of Japan by train will know how convenient it is. Most trains accept the Suica card, and those that don't aren't too difficult to use (e.g. the branch line to Kawaguchiko where I took the Evangelion train photo above, the Ueda to Bessho-Onsen train (Summer Wars), the Isumi line (decorated with Moomin characters)). Even JR-East gets into the act (Pokemon train poster): http://www.madman.com.au/fanzone/display/85469.img |

Now I'm confused - I wasn't saying anything about train travel in Japan, but rather that US cities tend to be horribly spread out, which is not so good for mass transit given that everybody's going to be going to completely different areas.

The Keihan Ishiyama-Sakamoto Line is known for its anime-themed trains.
Besides the train shown here, they've done themed trains for the anime series Chihayafuru and Gundam AGE plus the K-On! movie in recent years. |

Yes, I found this K-On! picture from the Keihan Ishiyama-Sakamoto line: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ファイル:Keihan600-keion2.JPG |

A shame they didn't seem to have things like this when I visited Japan 6 years ago. Or if they did, I guess I never saw it. I'd have ridden one just for the sake of doing it, regardless of where it was going.
