Living in Minowa, I can tell you right now that coming home after work the train gets really crowded. Its insane.
I use the Seibu Ikebukuro Line everyday to work and I never really noticed that it is all that over crowed. There is no way it can be running at 158%!
I also also us the JR Joban Rapid Line from Kita-Senju and it is almost always over crowed.
...but you must ride *from* Ikebukuro out towards the west? That way is pretty uncrowded, since there's not a whole lot of places out that way that people want to go to during the day...
i live on the Seibu-Ikebukuro; going from Nerima to Ikebukuro on a weekend morning is only trumped by going from Ikebukuro to Nerima at 5:30pm.
