There’s an anime for every hobby. We’ve gotten shows about kawaii waifus enjoying mineralogy, camping, bugger-all, astronomy, and now we’re getting an anime about train travel. East Fish Studio (A Condition Called Love) is bringing us an original train travel anime! Tetsuryo! Meet with Tetsudou Musume, a CGDCT anime related to the Tetsudou Musume (Railway Girls) project, which is coming in 2026. The show’s production company has released a trailer and visual as part of the promotion for the upcoming anime.

Tetsuryo! Meet with Tetsudou Musume follows four university students who are all members of the Train Travel Club. Together, the girls travel across Japan by train during their free time, enjoying vistas that only a railroad journey can bring.

Hoshino-san is known for his directorial work in Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! and The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious. Aya Satsuki will handle the anime’s script and series composition.

You might think that train travel has become a thing of the past, but it’s booming. Before I got the news about this adaptation, I was eagerly viewing tours for the Copper Canyon via the Chepe Express. So I can guarantee you that there’s a market for shows like Tetsuryo! Meet with Tetsudou Musume.
