Modern engineering has given birth to aircraft, gasoline engines, and geomagnetic technology—revolutionizing transportation. Railroads have been rendered nearly obsolete and replaced by more efficient modes of transit.

However, a group of lively "Raillords" aims to renew the railroads' former glory. The Raillords, personified as energetic and spirited girls, act as humanoid control modules for their assigned railways. They meet in Ohitoyo City for the Raillord Summit, headed by Suzushiro, a Raillord from Manoka Railways. Together, the group capitalizes on its teamwork to get the railroads back on track, ushering in a "new railroad age."

There wasn't a thread for the first season, since they're animated shorts. But there are some decently-profiled VAs in the cast, so I decided to make a thread, anyway, if anybody is in to this franchise.

I watched a few of the episodes and I kind of don't understand the appeal. Is it aimed at the people that love trains and also like lolis? That seems like a small group of people to be honest.
