This summer I pay attention to Echizen Railway because of the appearance of MC6000 Series and Mikuni-minato Station on "Glass Lip".
"Glass Lip" is the story about the school life featuring a girl, Toko Fukami, and a mysterious her new classmate, Kakeru Okikura, set in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. This anime is created by P.A.Works, whose headquarters and studio stands in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, and which has been created some works set in Hokuriku Area, such as "Hanasaku Iroha" and "True Tours Nanto".
In episode 1, the train consisting of 3 carriages approaching the station on the night of the fireworks festival was pictured. Not only the station, but a road bridge crossing above the railway was also clear. However, I felt at odds with the 3-carriage train because of the completely imaginary one.
Noto Railway can succeed to get more passengers and more benefits. because of the changing the station name boards, decorative train, and the sales of goods since the appearance of NT200 Series and Nishiishi Station in "Hanasaku Iroha".
Can Echizen Railway and Mikuni-minato Station become more attractive in the same way as Noto Railway?
