Has anyone ever considered doing a Densha movie or film project set in the US? I think a lot of American Audiences would like the story, and the characters, but wouldn't get the Japanese references. Like mo-e for example. (Though that was totaly funny when they recorded Hermes saying "mo-e?")

But my point is that parallels do exist here, Geeks for Otaku, and other distinctions. The story is universaly good. I think American audiences would really love to see it in a manner they can relate to.

Of course I think we should all learn more about other cultures, but trying to convince 60 million Americans they have to learn more about Japanese culture would be a bigger challange than an American adaptation, sad as that is.

Whoa, flashback. Did anyone see the movie "Can't Buy Me Love," from the 80's? Totaly reminds me of all this in a way.
