No, I just followed a wikipedia link and posted it here knowing you'd be able to read it easier.

The anime was broadcast on a local television station in Japan. How did you watch them?

Online, as a fansubbed streaming video.

Beef noodle soup. Does it have noodle in it?

Very short ones, but yes.

Many Japanese people sleep while sitting on the train; some sleep while standing up. This may be hard to believe. One of my English teachers from the U.S. said he couldn't imagine it before he came to Japan, but then he saw people doing it every morning in Tokyo.
I’ve never seen people sleeping on the train outside Japan. I wonder what you think when you see people sleeping on the train. I’ve read that some foreign men have named it the “Japanese siesta”.
When I get on the underground train in New York, I tried to sleep out of habit, but then I remembered I wasn’t in Japan and woke up quickly.
Do you sleep on the train in your country?
Thank you.

So far in my life, I haven't been on any trains and therefore don't have any experience with normal behaviours on them. I imagine sleeping on the train as a matter of habit during the daytime is a reflection of the comfort level the person has in the behaviour of society.

But yes, I have slept on buses. During my first college experience I "zoned out" a lot, or essentially turned my mind off while keeping my eyes open. There was one especially amusing time when I did so and completely forgot to signal the driver. I remember coming out of one of those dazes to find the bus driver looking at me, and the bus was parked. It's a very good thing the driver knew where I usually had my stop or who knows how long I would have gone around the route!
