X Densha de Ikou
Take the X Train
A young man named Tohru working for a railway company is disinterested by the modern world, and is suddenly thrust into a chase across Japan when an old electric locomotive becomes possessed and bonds with him. As the government and media pursue him and the runaway ghost train, he is forced to examine what he really desires in this world, all set to the jazzy soundtrack of Duke Ellington.
