NO YOU, Miracle Train
October 20th, 2009
So I watched Miracle Train and something about it has been bugging me ever since.
The whole premise (or the lack thereof) of this show basically revolves around these train station bishies whose motto in life is: Bring back one lost girl into the light each day (or week, from our POV), so quick to assume that just because a girl is down and depressed, she NEEDS help. And not just any normal help, but that from a harem of bishies to aide her in her helpless state, like some stupid damsel in distress. FYI, I don’t need your help, inasmuch as I don’t need your protection.
FEAR MY ROD
And let’s get real here, if I were a girl who suddenly comes across this Legendary Miracle Train, on board are no one else but 5 guys who claim to be train stations (oh brother *facepalm*), one mysterious masked man and a loli, only two thoughts that can come to mind: (1) Holy Shi– Am I gonna get RAEPED (not to mention there are no security people around, or any other people outside this ‘mob’ who can help me!)?! or (2) They’re kind souls who were sent by the heavens to help a poor girl like me, my prayers have been answered! — more likely the first one.
While yes, statistics shows that acquaintance raep is more likely than stranger raep, this is a freaking special train we’re talking about, a train that could lead you just about anywhere, nowhere. And worse, there can be no way out of this train!
Yes, I know.
Remember kids, just because a guy is bishielicious and/or smexy and “kind” to you doesn’t mean he really is a kind soul. You’ll never know what runs in his mind. Be very cautious.
But hey, this is some crazy anime we’re talking about, which requires us to strap our Suspension of Disbelief gear in full throttle, so for the sake of “fun” and all that jazz, let’s just accept the fact that these bishies were sent by the heavens for ye poor weak girls.
Feel free to use me, but don’t fall ever in love with me.
Here comes another issue, though. After the problem’s solved, you’d think the guys (ok train stations, I stand corrected) will empower the girls such that they’d be able to solve their future problems by themselves and not depend on them, right? Like teaching a man how to fish for himself instead of just feeding him. Well, think again. Once they’ve solved the problem [of the week], they “bid goodbye” to the troubled lady with a “Come back if you’re feeling down *smile*”, as though they want these girls to forever use them as a crotch– I mean crutch. Shouldn’t they be saying, “We hope we won’t see you again here, woman!!1!!”?!
Shinjuku: Oi, stop blushing Shotadome, our cover will be blown!
So yeah, WTF, NO YOU, Miracle Train. Thank you for making me feel just how weak I am because I’m a girl. See, this is exactly why only girls are accepted in the Miracle Train, not because they’re special, but because they’re weak. Ugh. Or probably to cover up the real identity of these train station guys as homotrainsexuals *gasp* The troubled lady of the week is nothing else but a mere BL cover-up?! Or wait, is any cover up even necessary for that? Anyways. Damn series is getting into my feminist nerves.
P.S. Shinjuku and Roppongo are hawt. KYAA~ Even Shinn thinks so. From what I’ve heard, looks like Hinano and Aroduc’s got the hots for Shinjuku too, eh? zOMG we’ve got competition!
P.P.S. Looking forward to the day Kamen Conductor finally gets unmasked lol.
