Also, hate how people like to dunk on German railroad comparing it to Japan.

That's fine. Compare it to France or Italy then and it still comes out severely lacking.

But I've not had the pleasure of staying in Berlin long enough to become familiar with the transit. I'm sure it's spectacular.

    No it doesn't. German ICE are a lot more affordable than French TGV. The price difference is really enortif you book a few weeks in advance. German ICE are more comfortable vehicles too, French TGV double deckers you're a sardine in a can. German ICE serve every big-ish city quite well, centre focused French TGV serves 1 city extremely well, many other smaller big-ish cities are served more poorly.
