review Rail wars

Okay I admit the fan service does get in the way sometimes

In an alternate world where the railways of Japan were never privatized Naoto is a young man with the dream of becoming a train engineer. He ends up as a trainee in the security program for the national railways. He is partnered with three other trainees and together they have railroad adventures.
getting fresh with the harem aren't you, minor character?

Rail Wars is a twelve episode long television show that has a bit of action as well as quite a bit of fan service. While there is a couple of multiple episode arcs later in the series it is a generally episodic show. The main cast consists of the main character as well as his two primary love interests (this show is a bit of a harem show with minor characters filling out the cast) and a poorly characterized wing man.
Childhood friend Maid but not a ninja, passable I guess.

While I am not universally dismissive of fan service shows I found that the fan service in Rail Wars is used to Spackle over often shoddy plots and other weaker aspects of the show. Other than the fan service it is not to say that the show is entirely without merit but it doesn't have enough merit to be considered even average.

Overall I find Rail Wars to be a weak action show that is disguised with panty shots.
