About Early Reins

Early Reins (アーリーレインズ) arrives as an action anime by OLM (2003), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Early Reins features six beautiful women on a train en route to Sunshine Hill in the early 1800s. When the train is highjacked by robbers and the soldiers on board are caught unawares, another surprise is in store: these lovely ladies can confront!

From there, the heroine emerges as Margarette, a young woman determined to become a sheriff although she is somewhat lacking in experience. She gains plenty on this trip, however, and the ragtag team of Western warriors joins forces with another passenger, Spencer, to struggle some nefarious bandits and guide the train to safety.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Junko Takeuchi as Caroline and Tomoko Kawakami as Margaret. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 5.8/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. On the casting side, Junko Takeuchi voicing Caroline gives the lead role a recognizable voice. It aired in 2003, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
