SENTAI FILMWORKS LICENSES “RAIL WARS!”
HOUSTON,
July 5, 2014 – A new recruit will learn the ropes on the field when his new job goes seriously off track in
Sentai Filmworks' latest acquisition, Rail Wars! This comedy action series is directed by Yoshifumi Sueda (Knights of Sidonia, Pocket Monster XY) with series composition

In
a world parallel to our own, Japan’s national train system is united
under the illustrious Japanese National Railways. High schooler Naoto
Takayama is one of many who dreams of
someday becoming a driver at the JNR. When Naoto manages to snag a job
as a trainee for the Railways Security Force, he thinks he’s finally on
the fast-track to success. However, Naoto’s expectations are quickly
derailed when he finds that he has trouble telling
who’s crazier- his coworkers or the criminals he’s supposed to catch!
But when RJ, a shadowy group with sinister motives, appears to seize
control of the JNR, it’s up to Naoto and his motley crew to get things
back on track. Will Naoto and the rest of the
Railways Security Force be able to pull the brakes on RJ’s scheme, or
will it be the end of the line not only for their team, but the entire
JNR as well?
Rail Wars!
will be available soon through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow.
