Perfect 10 is not a phrase I throw around often. However, this magnum opus of the anime genre is certainly deserving of it. Gary Lineker gives a subtle and nuanced performance in the lead role of Ernie, a man who loves his job and the people he works with. Working with him are Millie, the computer operator and Ernie's love interest who he struggles to tell his feelings for, and Mr Rails, the maintenance man who has been around since the beginning of time. The trains also have characters of their own. Hammersmith and City are the twins who harbour a secret incestuous relationship; Victoria, an old lady on the verge of death; Circle, a stoner; Bakerloo, a grumpy old man with a black and white outlook on the world and the sadly deceased Jubilee, murdered at the hands of Colin Wilson in retaliation for taking him to the wrong station. John Deery and Sid Rainey, the creators of this anime should give themselves a pat on the back for giving the world such a fantastic experience that will be treasured by friends and family for generations to come. 10/10, 100/100 best anime best anime.
